Like most people I saw it from the sofa, but even so there were some stricking chords with list reports over the past couple of years:
- the first 10 minutes showed why "the crowd" love Becchio. He seemed to be at the centre of everything, chasing, harrying and forcing Man U players into error after error. The rest of the half proved Rich Walker right. It started a couple of minutes before his unforgiveably off-target free header, when his control went to hell and just got worse from then on. He was much better again at the start of the 2nd half but then just disappeared. Makes me wonder if he has a fitness problem? (however the cramp before he was subbed may have been a bit cynical....) -Hughes - the whole world could see his limitations and if Valencia had come on 10 minutes earlier then we probably wouldn't be going to White Hart Lane as the last team left in this year's FA cup draw. However! the bloke played out of his skin. He did nothing flashy after his early (failed) attempt to come inside, he worked his bollocks off, he never lost touch with his centre backs and he obviously followed his instructions to the letter. He deserved his place. -Beckford, great goal, scored because of his extra acceleration when he realised the keeper wasn't coming (watch it in slow motion), but my God, how frustrating. If there was a defender in front of him you just knew he would lose the ball. I don't think he's a true centre forward because I don't think he knows how to hold the ball up. -I imagined that Casper would be our weakest link but not only did he make the saves but he looked (and played like) a goalkeeper unlike the dithering idiot at the other end. The commentators went on about Beckford's value going up - I think Caspar's probably went up proportionally more. My man of the match was Kisboro (sp?) who made Man U stop believing as early as 10 minutes in. Naylor was a magnificent catain and I like to think that his booking was a calculated bit of aggression to get his message absolutely across.
