Rooney's goal in the first minute gave us confidence and at times we could see the United we saw at the beginng of the season. Flashes of the best Valencia are nice to see, Nani did well although he concluded very little. Jones did commit a few mistakes in the middle but his energy is proving valuable and Carrick's return to form is critical for United. His goal was typical of a confident player and he should keep his place if he keep playing so well.
Our main problems lie in defence which today was only tested with some high balls which Rio and Evans dealt with. They normally struggle against teams who keep it low and at one point on 75 minutes, I thought that there was going to be a repeat of the Basel second goal as both Rio and De Gea went to sleep only for DJ Campbell scoop the ball over the bar.
Chichi is back for the important Christmas programme and as SAF says, if we are near the top come January, we will have a chance. Will Arsenal have what it takes this afternoon? The pressure is now beginning to mount...
We now stay in London to face Fulham on Wednesday night.
Roll on Wednesday...
