2 in for Ronaldo, 2 out for ManU, Too much for Wigan...

hahahaha... 4-0, what a great score line that was, de devils are back in

business, even with a loooooong list of injuries :)

Saha was withdrow from the team, he picked up an injury during warm up before the game. I was bit of worried... No Carrick, No Hargreaves... I was bit of worried about the passing quality and defending shield in front of the central defenders.

Wigan started off with great discipline and strategy, contending ManU. But ManU still get their chances, an early sign before the real slaughtering scene appears. ManU was controlling the tempo, the ball and the game, very well.

It looks good for ManU for the 1st 20mins, before Vidic was subtituted by Anderson, for an injury suffered from a knock. So, O'Shea has taken the job as central defender, and Pique was on the right back. Soon after that, O'Shea signals that he needs to be substituted! No choice, O'Shea is out, and Ferdinand has his 3rd cetral defend partner of the day, Pique. and Simpson is in for O'Shea to fit in the right back.

All these injuries and substitutions has definitely disrupted ManU's tempo. And even worse, the 2 defenders are not the regulars! Pique looks not bad, he has the physical ability and tall enough, but Simpson looks like a young boy and so thin, hopefully they gel along well and defend properly. God bless... that is just scary moment...

The 1st half ended 0-0, great strategy from Wigan. ManU created lots of chances and corners, but none is converted, ouchhh... Anyway, Tevez shows some great spirit of fighting and working very hard today. he was everywhere and after every opponents that holds the ball! It makes it very hard for the Wigan defenders to actually pass the ball in front, Great job!!! The Old Trafford fans did gave him a standing ovation for that! That also impresses me as i think that eases the responsibility of our young defender Pique and Simpson as the ball cant even get in front! Frankly, I'm still bit of worry about our young denfenders :p Without Vidic's header, we are threatless in corners too.

It all started at 2nd half, where Anderson pull a fantastic straight line pass, Tevez runs crazily in front to the ball, the keeper comes out for the save, Tevez pulls the ball aside, strike, it's in!!!

The 2nd goal comes from a corner, which i think we have no advantage on headers... Giggs gives out a flat ball on the ground, someone(i forgetted who :p ) backpassed it to him, he pulled a long shot(pass?) and it looks like it's going in the goal, the keeper makes a fantastic save to keep the ball out! But the ball werent far away from the goal and in the air, Ronaldo was just in front of the ball, he has made the simplest header he can do, and it's goal!!! 2-0!!! We aren't going to win the game 1-0!!! Yes!!!!!

The 3rd one, Rooney has a great run with the ball down the left flank, contending the Wigan defenders with his strong body,then with a pass to the penalty area, great curve of the ball back to the border of the 18yard box, makes it hard for the keeper to decide whether to go for the ball or not... The Wigan defenders were shielding Ronaldo from the ball. But, Ronaldo was a fracture of a second faster than all the defenders and keeper, push the ball right to the opposite side of the keeper, it's in, 3-0!!!! wow!!! We break our record this season!!! 3-0!!! We are on the brink of winning the game with 3-0 and 6consecutive clean sheets!!!

The last goal, started by Simpson from the right flank, who i was bit worried about him when he just entered on the pitch, but he absolutely did very well in his defending job. I think Fergie needs to give more chances to the young fellas as Pique and Simpson shows that we do have great yougn talents in the team!!! Simpson made a great pass from the right, right height, right speed, right curve, right moment, at the right spot, that catches Rooney's header! My Oh My.... Rooney scores again!!! The attacking triangle ManU is back!!! 4-0!!!

The game ends 4-0, a clean sheet, our attack is back, we see great talents from young fellas, we see what ManU can do even with that loooooong list of injury. I'm confident that, ManU will retain the EPL champion, ahahahah :D
