wp Everton.
I thought we got exactly what we deserved from today"s game. It really disappoints me that Fergie puts out a team like that in an FA Cup semi final. I think it shows a greater lack of respect for the tournament than any of the abuse the club took in 2000 when we didn"t take part.
Should it have been a penalty or not ?
Doesn"t matter, if you are relying on marginal decisions to win games of football, then you are doing something wrong. How you can leave the likes of van de Sar, Carrick, Ronaldo, Rooney from even traveliing to the game
?
We looked solid at the back, although the Brazilian twins really need to learn some positional play, but upfront, we just lacked any real bite to break down a solid and good Everton defence.
Never been so disappointed for ages over an United defeat.
The question is did Fergie get the team selection wrong ?
Well, we won"t know the full answer to that for a bit. If we thump Pompey midweek, get some momentum back and win the Premiership and Champs League, then maybe this selection is forgiven.
And I don"t really want to contemplate any other scenarios.
Take nothing away from Everton. I thought Jagielka and Lescott were awesome today and if Saha could find a bit of form to give you something more upfront, it should make for a great cup final at the end of May.
