ok..so we thumped Wigan 4-0 and made it look easier than it was. While it would have been a disaster to go trophyless another season, winning the carling cup isn't going to be enough to mask what the daftest amongst us knows we're lacking... a fuckin midfield! Giggs did a decent job playing out of his natural position, and contributed vastly, not least when he weaved his way through a cluster of wigan players and delivered the perfect cross field pass hwich led to the 2nd goal. But, let's not get carried away here. Giggs isn't a central midfielder and he's a stop gap measure more than anything else. As for O'shea, words fail to describe how magnificently shamblic he was in the middle of the park. You have to give the lad credit though for being consistent though. He always somehow manages to be the worst player on the pitch, even when we're murdering the opposition. JUST HOW DOES HE DO IT?!! Ok,..i'll cease to moan further and concentrate on the positives. Rooney and Ronaldo were once again magnificent while Park hardly put a foot wrong. Saha was always a threat and helped himself to a lucky but deserved goal. I am just a little disappointed for Rooney that he didn't manage a hattrick...he definitely deserved it. He was running up and about the pitch like a nutter in the dying minutes of the game though the result was beyond doubt. You've gotta love the fella.Winning the Carling Cup is a welcome consolation, but that is all it is. Nothing more...oops there i go again. Sorry! Find it hard not to be cynical in these difficult times. Well, now all i'm hoping for is a good 2nd placed finish, and not too many points behind the Rent Boys...oh and ofcourse a trophyless season for the scouse vermin ;)
