Toffees for breakfast

After a very disjointed first half performance, Manchester United finally took control mid-way thru the second half and ran out 3-0 winners against Everton at Old Trafford this morning. You could tell things were not going well, when no one wanted the ball aside from Ronaldo and Rooney, everyone else kept getting rid of it as fast as possible. Kieran Richardson had his worst ever outing in a Utd shirt (except for two cracking free-kicks both just skimming over the bar), I had never seen him make a bad pass EVER, yet he failed to deliver 90% of the time today, Carrick, Fletcher and Neville’s touches were not much better.

It was the irrepressible Ronaldo who scored the first goal after a Carrick shot rebounded off a defender and Ronaldo steered it wide of the keeper and home. In to the second half and with the midfield failing to deliver, up stepped Rio with a storming run just stopped at the edge of the box. Then minutes later, right on the hour, Rooney laid off a beautiful ball to his left and who was there, the other fullback Evra, who charged in to the box and squeezed the ball thru the Everton keepers legs, classic. And then right at the death Rooney had a shot parried and Evra sent it back in the box for O’Shea to flick it past the keeper.

GO YOU REDS !!!
