Another day at the 'theater of Dreams' and as usual another big crowd which Man Utd had to to please and this time around they had to do with against Blackburn who so far haven't been to bad coming up to the game...But i was going to be toughy nighty for them to handle the Men in red as Man Utd have scored in every game at home since December 2009 which is almost a year!And plus their Undefeated although their season hasn't been on fire but we still gotta remember their still the 'only' Undefeated team in England...
And they could continue that run with the return of Their last season' Top Scorer Wayne Rooney back to the first team after a short spell in Oregon,USA to get back his fitness.He partnered a Dimitar Berbatov who hasn't been in very good form this season as it's been 10 games since his scored which for a striker,you would be embarrassed to look at that..Darren Fletcher was the only first team player out of the team with an ankle injury so Anderson started.While For Blackburn though,they had Gael Givet out with illness and so stepped up Pascal Cimbonda who was making his 200th premier league start,Herold Goulon had his first start in replace of Injured Morten Gamst Pedersen.
And What a start Man Utd had! In only two minutes they struck their first goal with Robinson probably getting caught by the challenge by the on rushing Anderson which forced the former number 1 to slice clear it straight into Nani And the portuguese took no time to cross it in and guess who scored?...Dimitar Berbatov finally ended his ten game run with an amazing goal with outer right foot.And just about 24 Minutes later they got their second goal and this time around Rooney who really impressed in the game although he didn't score let in a delightful defence splitting ball into the path of Park Ji Sung who had the easiest of task of slotting it pass the keeper for his 3rd goal of the season.A beautiful constructed goal which shows true champions!
Blackburn were stunned in what was happening,they didn't look to get into the game at all and they couldn't even try if they wanted too because of Utd's Slick passing and i guessed they did give up and just 2 minutes later.Abit of pressure by Rooney caused Chimbonda to give a beautiful weighted back pass to the keeper who in fact had Berbatov in company and The Bulgarian made no mistake with a point blank Missile for this second goal of the game.A great game for the Bulgarian,Bad day for the Frenchman making his 200th appearance...
Man Utd went to half knowing they probably got the match in the bag already unless some kind of power were used on the Blackburn team or something.And Well I though Man Utd would have stepped off the pedal going into the second half but they proved me wrong once again and did the opposite of what Arsenal normally do.And just 2 minutes after the interval,A fine few seconds of Tormenting by Nani of the Defence soon found the assistance of Berbatov who coolly slid in his third to record his second hat trick this season.Blackburn I think Had no idea what they were doing here and rather got home...And to make it worse for the Rovers,Just a single minute later Defence failed to catch up to Nani Speed and this time he did torment the defence and went for goal himself to record Man Utd's fifth goal of the game.
6th goal though was pure crafted champions like goal.It all started with the build up by Rafael as he passed to Nani,raced into the box in where Nani distributed it back to him and made a delightful cross back cross the goal in where Park's Shot was block but they couldn't stop the stunning Berbatov who looked to be at the right place at the right time in the whole match who get his fourth goal of the game.And I guess it was just his day as everything went right for him,One great example is especially the last goal to cap of things when his supposed cross to Rooney in the box was blocked of by a defender but magically it went back to him and from the most tightest of angles he scored for his 5th goal and also to enter record books as the fourth player only to score 5 goals in the premier league.In the 80th Minute though,Slight defence napping caused Blackburn to get a goal back but I think they deserve it after going through what deemed to be the worst result for any team...Samba scored that goal...But Utd would definitely be frustrated not to keep A clean sheet.
So Overall I think That Nani,Rooney And Berbatov can be A torment for Defence went their In Form especially now Rooney who looks to be slowly getting back his form.And well this could be the spark of something really scary for the teams behind of them as I've seen them constantly improving.Man Utd were just relentless in attack without any mercy for Blackburn,Their intensity going forward with the likes of park Ji Sung going forward all the time and Nani's speed up front was a torment to defence.But forget about that,The most important thing is the timing of Utd looking to get their gear up with other teams at the back slipping up...But one thing i was quite disappointed is the defence being to relax,I don't think they should have let in that goal and I think that's only one or two problems which I think Alex can work out on then we could probably see the mean machines of Utd going to work.But what i'm quite fascinated is Utd always start of the season slow and step it up a notch at the most right time which is just amazing for the team.To Counclude,I think this Utd team just perfectly balance with the amount of depth in team!..And Blackburn got to forget about this performance and get on with life...
