This was the must win match for United to overtake Chelsea to lead the league but they blew it. The match was a exciting one. Rooney wasn't in the line up as he had slightly worsen his injured ankle during the CL match back on Thursday. Surprisingly, SAF played a 4-4-2 formation with Babartov and Macheda up front, Giggs and Scholes in the center midfield. I am ok with the strikers but to have Giggs and Scholes together in center doesn't seems right for me. Giggs is not competent enough to play the supporting and distribution role while Scholes as holding midfield. Moreover, who else is he supporting when there are 2 strikers and no Rooney around ?

As the match goes, United dominate 90% of the first half and Valencia had a one on one chance with Robinson but his effort was blocked away by his flying leg. Comes the 2nd half, Blackburn pushed United a bit to tell United that they themselves are capable to get the win here. So the ball when through and flow on the pitch and then comes the full time whistle.

To sum up, a boring match. I think Big Sam had successfully integrate his style of play from Bolton to Blackburn. Recall that during his time a Bolton, they were the team that had lesser goals scored and lots of 0 - 0 draw against the strong teams. Good job Sam.

Well, at the point of writing this there was a piece of good news for United as SAF is now running out of patience with Babartov and considering selling him but for 25m ? Perhaps lower... United signed a unknown striker from Chivas, Mexico, Javier Hernandez. His arrival means that either other prolific strikers will not be coming in or existing ones will have to go. The likes of Mecheda and Welbeck. Look, if SAF bought Benzema, then United will have 5 strikers, that is if Babar is sold, how can they be that happy ? Tevez wasn't happy already when there are only 3 strikers around.
