Re: Manchester United Supporters Thread.
I feel for Evans. This is the guy who made Drogba his bitch and played exceptionally well in Europe against the likes of Inter at the San Siro but is now making mistakes a kid wouldn't make and costing us goal after goal every time he plays. We'd be better off playing Fergie at centre half rather than him at the minute. He admitted that he'd lost his place due to poor form and that he needs to work hard and improve which shows maturity but his confidence looks totally shot and he's a shadow of his former self. Time is on his side with him only being 22 but he'll need to sort his head out soon or I can see Fergie sending him on his way. Such a shame as he looked like he was a couple of years away from being a genuinely world class centreback.
O'Shea is just O'Shea. None of the goals last night were his fault, he puts in a shift every time and his versatility is vital over the course of a season. The problem is he can't pass and doesn't seem to contribute going forward as much as he used to so he's an easy scapegoat when we don't win. That shot he had yesterday was hilarious, I did that in a match once when I was about 12 and it was proper fucking embarrassing, can't imagine how he felt playing for one of the biggest clubs in the worlds with millions watching.
I thought West Ham were pretty heavy in the tackle and there were a few that went too far, Boa Morte's unpunished foul on Fabio was pretty disgusting to be honest but hard tackling is no excuse for a defeat. We usually just hit back twice as hard and the reason we lost is more the fact we showed no fight ourselves rather than them kicking us off the ball.
Anyway, I do like the Carling Cup but I can't pretend I'm not glad it's that we're out of and not the CL and it's also better that we got thumped in the cup rather than the league.
Hopefully that will be a kick up the arse for a few of the fringe players and a bit of a wake up call.

Great result, grinding out the 1-0 in these games are very important. I thought we actually didn't play that well apart from the back four who were excellent when needed to be (Arsenal didn't offer much).
