Just Enough (Manchester United 1 - Roma 0)

I'll make this one short since there isn't many positive things to talk about. Moreover it didn't help that I constantly nodded off while watching the game. Yup, that's right, we're turning into a boring team.

There was no repeat of April's 7-1 scoreline. It was a cautious and cagey affair and neither side were really looking to score for most parts of the game. Had it not been for Rooney taking a half chance in the 70th min, it would definitely have ended 0-0.

There was plenty of creativity and penetration from the Portuguese wingers, Nani and Ronaldo, but it was not matched by the other players on the pitch. As a result, both were cutting into the middle far too many times for my liking. Having Saha starting and spearheading the frontline, I was expecting a bombardment of crosses.

At least the midfield and defence stood firm. I have to say we're one helluva stingy team. Quite honestly, Roma never did look like scoring until the dying minutes when they failed to convert 2 absolute sitters.

Anyway we're sitting pretty on top of the group table having taken maximum points from 2 games. Next up would be a double header against bottom of table Dinamo Kiev, who we really ought to beat....twice.
