1-1 free header awful defending was stokes first chance

ross4life · January 04, 2011, 09:19:42 PM

2-1 super Nani goal

That Herndez boy is doing the business.

3 good points.

FT 2-1 not as close as the scoreline suggests, stoke offered little! midfield was in total control tonight & what a difference Nani makes to the team MOTM

P.S hopefully that United win didn't shock Doogie Browser too much

You have to give credit thought to Utd in closing down every attempt Stoke even thought about launching in those last 10 mins. Clinical. If that had been Arsenal, the ball would've been on top of Fabianski permanently.

That's primarily because Vidic wins every key header in his genaral direction, never allowing a flick on. Honestly think he comes into his own at key stages and when teams start pumping the ball long late on. Smalling was also impressive at times.
Good result but again not a great performance.

Hernandez has become the top scoring Mexican in Premier League history, was Stokes first goal in OT since 1980 & United are now 20 games unbeaten in the division - the second longest run without defeat in a single Premier League season after the Arsenal in 2003-04

United's luck has to run out sometime. Would be shocked if that XI would bea
t Stoke.

a nice cup of tea with plenty of sugar should help with the shock.

I honestly thought they would struggle to win tonight.

it would be equal i would imagine. just a hunch.

Can't see a unbeaten season, re-arranged Chelsea game is sure to be defeat now while Spurs,Arse,Newcastle might pull off a surprise win.

Hard to believe the Busby babes,94,99,08 teams didn't go 20 games unbeaten but this current team has

I think what he is hinting at is they are not as talanted a side as the Arsenal invincibles therefore a bigger achievement to go unbeaten.

By the way I think they will be beaten at some stage before the end of the league. They will win it though.
