Cup Exit

Man Utd 3 Boro 0 - A game that was always going to be hard to get anything from considering the endless injury list and an expected backlash from Utd's defeat by Chelsea in midweek, from the start it didn't look promising. Tactically Boro went hoping for a bore draw, playing with Jimmy on his own up front, a mistake that led to an early goal from a hungry looking reds team on ten minutes. For the first half hour we looked awful and the treat of getting an outing on live TV didn't look like too much of a blessing. From then on though at least we competed, bringing on Job after the half and pushing forward for an equaliser with some promise. Then up steps M. Rooney with two fine fine goals maybe only a handful of players could have pulled off and it was goodnight to the cup for another year. If you absolutely have to lose then losing to moves from such a genius is not so bad. Moving on without distractions into league and Uefa glory then. Kx
