Just returned from the game, other than the two goals of Tranmere's we were superb throughout. We played a superb passing game, with several 1/2 touches between front/midfield which were pure genius. Nicky Clee was superb today, his footwork was mesmerising at times.
This all continued in the second half and every player did his bit for the team today. I must also single out Sissoko and also Holsgate the number 16, his running and skill at hussling the Tranmre back 4 was quality, he continually won the lobbed ball over the defence by getting in front of his marker and using his pace and strength. Sissoko was very assured on the ball, his distribution and tackling were excellent. But it was the way the team passed to ball and used it, highly entertaining and very difficult to defend against. Surprised we did not score in the second half, this was a superb performance and deserved the long applause they received after the game. Dale was also superb today, involved in a fwe of the one twos.
Great football tonight, giving Graham a dilema of who to sign, several good choices there tonight. Top half of table beckons me thinks on this performance.
United game well worth going to now; me and the kids had a great evening tonight.
Cheers managment and team
