Ruud Winner (Manchester United 1 - West Ham United 0)

Ruud started and scored the winner, however that's bout all he did the entire game. That's Ruud's game, a clinical striker. We had tonnes of chances but only a couple fell to Ruud. Had we been more clinical, we should have put away West Ham and made this a comfortable victory, instead we had to sweat the entire game. It's a frustrating game to watch.

Again our midfield went MIA, much due to Saha not playing. It's kinda difficult to balance the team. Have Ruud playing and you can be sure of goals if the chances fall to him. On the other hand, play Saha, and you wouldn't have your midfield overwhelmed by the opponents. It's a tough decision and I'm glad I'm not making it.

Pique, Vidic and Evra started this game. Pique IS the future. He played awesome in right back, making all the right decisions. Come to think of it, he's the present. I've yet to see how he performs in a full game at centre back, but if we lose Gary Neville for whatever reason, there's a ready replacement. Yes, I'm drooling all over the prospect of seeing Pique become a regular.

Vidic had a pretty damn good game too. He single handedly kept Harewood out of the game. I don't know what's happened to Brown, but Vidic is a player. Evra had a mixed game. Did nothing outstanding and wasn't too damaging at the back.

We are having a pretty decent run of good results. If I'm not wrong, we're facing Bolton at the Reebok this weekend. That should be a real test away from home against a strong team. I hope our midfield doesn't get kicked off the pitch.
