"United are back, United are back"
Well those of you who thought that we had been 'rumbled' may have to re-think
things after a totally dominant display and a real return to the peak
'Bielasball' last night - albeit against a very poor team who were low on
confidence
Two slight moans - first, the crowd, whislt good in terms of numbers was as
quiet during the first half as I can remember (practice for the Prem?) Secondly
the fact that despite it being shooting practice at the end and almost the
oldkids game of attack v defence we only managed 2 goals
However these two gripes are totally overshadowed by a tremendous performance,
all made possible by the return of the magician , Pablo Hernandez, who was
sublime and went through their back line like the proverbial knife through
butter. He was a joy to watch and when he plays like this you wonder what he is
doing in this Division. How we have missed him especially at home when faced
with a team who pack the defence and come for a draw.
The other returnee, Kemar Roofe, also proved , yet again, that he is a centre
forward not a winger, and when he is allowed to play up top he gets results,
this time a lovely timed header when he got between the 2 defenders and met a
brilliant cross by Pablo - the finish very similar to the goal v Derby (?) He
buzzed around and caused them problems all evening.
Everyone played their part last night, with all 3 subs also doing well. Dallas showed what he can still offer something going forward and had one attempt just wide and one lovely run when he actually took on and beat two defenders. Pearce showed that he does still have a future- like the rest of us he must have wondered why he did not get the nod ahead of Dallas when Douglas got injured. Forshaw fitted into the system as if he was born into it and also went close with a rasping drive, he replaced the slightly subdued Saiz and kept the ball moving with little Batty-esque type passing and interceptions.
We could have had a hatful with Alisoki coming closest to adding to the total
with a great run and shot that came back from the inside of the post - he was
another player who was back to his best last night , with a cross in the first
half nearly causing a goal as the keeper could only parry it back into the
danger zone.
The second goal and the one that eased all our tension off the pitch and led to
total capitulation from Ipswich on it, was brilliant and well worked - a short
corner came back to Pablo and his cross was superbly dummied by Phillips(?) and
fell to Cooper who side footed it with his right from the edge of the box - yes
League -One Liam as some call him finsihed with real skill and aplomb. That
ended the game as a contest (if it ever was, since all they managed was one
easily saved header in the first half and were almost gifted a goal by Ayling
right at the death) and it became almost a procession of us coming forward and
having pot shots and scrambles - their keeper was their man of the match (and
beaten only by Pablo for THE MoM)
It was a perfect response to the Blackburn defeat - a bit worrying that Berardi
went off , presumably injured but with Bielsa, who knows it could have been
tactical. Bielsa again used his subs wisely and excitingly making a double sub
with over 30mins to go and no more cards to play. I love the way he re-acts to
what is happening on the pitch - some managers seem to pre-plan the sub one
striker for another on 60 mins every game or making no subs at all until time
wasting at the end of a game.
With other results going our way this week - Boro being held at home by
Rotherham and West Brom getting hammered at home by Derby means 'we are top'the
league, say we are top'the league' - these results confirming what we already
knew , this League is totally competitive and any result is possible in any
match. This also elevates our performance and result last night - Man City v
Cardiff or whoever is top and bottom of the Prem is pretty much a nailed on
home win, that is not the case in the Championship (look at Birmingham turning
us over when we were top and they were bottom or next to bottom) so beating
Ipswich whilst expected was in no way a foregone conclusion and we needed to be
at or near our best to do it, and that is what we were, back to our best
So onwards and upwards - with Forest to come Saturday evening - we will know by
kick off what we need to stay top but I am confident if we can play like we did
last night that no-one in this Division will beat us , so it is all about
whether we play to our full potential. If Pablo plays like he did yesterday and
Roofe continues to bang them in , we are going to remember this season for a
long time
So to sum up, last night was brilliant and the bounce back we needed, 'rumbled'
I don't think so -keep the faith, the future is white !
Dave
