Well I have Did some research and I have come up with the ratings for all the players that played in the match!
MAN UTD
Edwin Van der Sar - 8
He really impressed me! For me to be Honest,I didn't really expect him to perform looking at his age and all! But he proved me wrong with some Stunning saves,The toast of it all being a one on one save from Daniel Sturridge! Looks like the old gun isn't rusty after all and even shining out The younger of Chelsea's Keeper!
John O'Shea - 7.5
Made one mistake in the first half by giving the ball away cheaply which put United under pressure with Anelka taking the opportunity to shoot But was well saved by the brilliant Van der Sar. But kept his head cool and improve as the game wore on with a great turnover in the 36th minute to deny one of the main Chelsea's Treats 'Ashley Cole' From Releasing a great shot!
Jonny Evans - 7
Improving game by game and might soon be replacing the Aging Defender Rio Ferdinand! Look good in the whole game! Clearing balls aerially And Showing the Strength he needs to survive in the Premier League! Although he had a tough time in the later stages at left back with Sturridge giving him a tough time!
Nemanja Vidic - 8
Look Good at the back With Jonny Evans with some sharp awareness And defending! One of the best players on the pitch for me!
Fabio - 6 (off 70')
Looks better going forward and nearly gave away a penalty against Michael Essien in the first half. Still not as develpoed as seen where He was tested By Essien On several Occasions
Ji Sung Park - 7 (off 45')
Really Expected him to play like he did in the Pre Season but his ability to open up game ! But he did well for me before going for at half time by providing defense as Fabio dashes forward
Michael Carrick - 7 (off 79')
had some Slight Hiccups Together With Paul Scholes in Defence But slowly began to Improve As Scholes Stepped up his game to play a major Part for the team! Gave the team some forward options!
Paul Scholes - 9 (off 79')
For me! He was the best guy on the field As Although some Uneasy play back at the start of the match! Like Van Der sar,Showed Age isn't a barrier by Controlling the Strings in Midfielder With some breathtaking Precision Crossing that Set Up the First Goal And almost Set up another One For Berbatov As his Cross To Hernandez was cheekily slit through for Berbatov who couldn't get an end to it! Looks like Experience does count after all!
Antonio Valencia - 9
Another player to Impress! Countinued with the play that brought him to Man Utd by being A constant Treat at the Chelsea's Defence With Fast Running And Mind Boggling crosses! Scored the First goal to set the tone of the game!
Michael Owen - 6 (off 45')
Owen had a quiet game. His link up play with his teammates was poor when he did manage to get involved directly in the attack.He did seem though to get his game in the last few minutes But oh well,Alex Ferguson already said he would be brought of at Half time! Not a really high rating i could give him
Wayne Rooney - 8 (off 45')
He took the 45 minutes he had to perfection By putting away his awful display in the world Cup And Shinning for Man Utd At Front in the First Half As he Huff And puff Slicing through the tired Chelsea's Defence And Setting up A goal for Valencia to tuck in! Great Game Roonie!
Substitutes
Chris Smalling - 6 (on 70')
No major mistakes Only one where a slight misunderstanding Almost cause his team a goal through Studrridge
Ryan Giggs - 6 (on 79')
Giggs came on for his manager to help steady United's attack with his experience he has! Well not very influential in the game but His Experience did give the team some comfort! had a bloody nose during the game!
Nani - 8 (on 45')
United started the second half with more attacking flair - Nani, Hernandez and Berbatov were the chief's of all that commotion with their attacking style game against the Chelsea's Defence. Nani's clever through ball played in Berbatov for United's Winning third goal that ruined all hope for a comeback!
Dimitar Berbatov - 8 (on 45')
Linked up well with Hernandez and his touches and flicks added a bit of flair to United's attack in the second half. Never seen him play this well for a long time! Scored the 3rd goal to end chelsea's hope!
Javier Hernandez - 8 (on 45')
He Came on And Blew the Defence away! Showed no fear in one of the biggest League's of the world by playing his common style of game! Scored and Akward goal which bounce of his face! But who cares? Overall he did superbly!
Darren Fletcher - 6 (on 79')
Came to balance the team and guide them to a comfortable win over the Blues who today might have the real blues!
CHELSEA
Hilario - 5
As Expected his lack Of Experience didn't help although both of the early goals wasn't his fault..Third one was all his by coming off his line to early!
Paulo Ferreira - 6 (off 78')
One of them who really failed to communicate And overall failed to impress at the wing with the constant treat by Nani didn't help!
Branislav Ivanovic - 6
Not bad! But still i'm not giving a high Rating as he didn't show that ruthlessness that A centre back need in the Afternoon! best defender for Chelsea which overall states how bad the defense was
John Terry - 4
How can a centre back of his class play like that? He clearly failed to cope with the attacks! Ran like a 35 year old defender or older! Is this bad news for Chelsea?
Ashley Cole -4 (off 78')
Didn't Shine out from all the boos he had as for me! Although he did make some defyning Run's Cross box to box! He still failed to shine as his poor marking and defense was the cause for both of Man Utd First goals! He should really think of going to Spain now after all of that!
Michael Essien - 8
Best player on the pitch for Chelsea with a great performance even though he just came back from Injury By Having a few shots that scared the opposition! Looks like his coming back guys!
John Obi Mikel - 4 (off 59')
Quiet first half, made little impression nothing really good! Taken off early!
Frank Lampard - 4
He was nowhere to be seen on the pitch! I didn't even realize he was on the pitch and if i did! I would forget! Not in his usual powering into the box type of mood that day which he showed last season to Power Chelsea!
Salomon Kalou - 5
Should have done better with a chance from Anelka's snapshot in the first half,Gave Chelsea some hope with a goal off a deflection from Edwin van der Sar which didn't really matter after that!
Nicolas Anelka - 5.5 (off 59')
Not the kind of playing that got me excited to see! Maybe the case Hearing from the french Association still in his mind?
Florent Malouda - 6.5 (off 72')
Combined well on several occasions with Ashley Cole And did cause some havoc at the back! But End of little product at the end
Jeffrey Bruma - 5 (on 78')
Not known Of Chelsea for putting an Unknown Player on the field! But did show some good defending And pace! But too little time!
Yossi Benayoun -4 (on 72')
Quiet after coming on, with poor touches on several occasions. Seemed to be poor replacement for Joe Cole.Thinking of going back to Liverpool i suppose? Doesn't seem a Chelsea player to me! He looks like he would be great at Liverpool!
Yury Zhirkov -5 (on 78')
No comment on him! Didn't really see him make any impression!
Daniel Sturridge -7.5 (on 59')
Second best Chelsea's player With some Great runs to Fooled the Defence And Shots which were denied by Van Der Sar At thick of The Chelsea Goal when he released a shot which was Pushed Away From Van Der Sar into Kalou Who Scored!
Didier Drogba -5 (on 59')
Standing Ovation when he came on! Almost Scored Although he seem to be offside but hit the side netting! His best opportunity of the game!
SCORERS OF THE GAME!
