Starting Lineups:
BOLTON: Jaaskelainen, Steinsson, Knight, Rickettes, Robinson, Lee, Holden, Muamba, Petrove, Elmander, Kevin Davies. SUBS: Bogdan, Taylor, Mark Davies, Klasnic, Moreno, Blake, Alonso
MANCHESTER UNITED: Van der Sar, O’Shea, Vidic, Jonny Evans, Evra, Nani, Fletcher, Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, Berbatov. SUBS: Kuszczak, Owen, Anderson, Smalling, Park, Rafael, Macheda
2nd minute: Rooney with a long diagonal pass to Berbatov on the right
Berba takes a quick shot from a bad angle and was nowhere near the net. Good buildup early on….
6th minute: Bolton wins a corner after Lee's shot goes wide
Zat Knight gets a head on the corner and bounces the ball into net…1-0 Bolton….
10th minute: Fletcher gets the ball in the right part of the box
crosses the ball, Giggs gets a foot on the ball, but Jaaskelainen is in position for the easy save
14th minute: Fletcher takes the ball into the box and takes a shot
Jaaskelainen gets a hand on the ball and Bolton are able to get to the rebound first and clear…
17th minute: Bolton take a free kick, Davies gets a head on the ball
trying to pass to the streaking Elmander, but VDS is equal to the challenge…
Nani just ran right at the Bolton defense
he brought the ball across the halfway line and ran right through the Bolton defense, taking a low shot past the diving Jussi Jaaskelainen….
40th minute: Rooney with a howler of a shot right outside the box
very close….juuuuust over the bar.
45th minute: Elmander works his way into the box
and Bolton win a corner…
Vidic is not looking like the better full back right now.
45th minute
Evra gets the ball wide and his cross goes off a Bolton defender and out for a corner…the resulting corner is headed wide of the net
50th minute: Both teams are still probing around
to start the 2nd half. Park appears to be headed on shortly. Ryan Giggs is rumored to be coming off
60th minute: Mechada up at the bench, taking his pants off
Rooney possibly coming off….I wholeheartedly agree with this possible change….
This will be a better chance for Mechada
He’ll play in the middle alot more than he did Wednesday night
67th minute: Petrov gets the ball on the left
shoots the ball off of Fletcher and past Van der Sar….2-1 Bolton
Evans came over
but Petrov cut back to the inside right as Evans got there, that’s what opened it up…
71st minute: United use their final change
Owen on for Fletcher
Can’t say I disagree with this, but the probably pushes Mechada wide.
74th minute: OWEN!!!!!! GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nani’s free kick goes off the top of Owens head and on to the far post to equalize the game for United again
77th minute: wonderful effort from Nani
left foot shot from the right side very nearly curled into the goal…
You gotta think United can get another goal against Bolton from somewhere….
90 +3:35: Evra tackled and wins a free kick
Nani takes it….Bolton heads it back out and there’s the final whistle…
A point each way is probably a fair result
but with the quality in United’s squad, we should have run away with this one. More thoughts later….
Sorry I didn't reply back straight-away
I fell asleep during the Aston Villa game, woke and watched some of the Newcastle/Stoke game and went and took a nap. :) Nearly 1 in the afternoon and my day is just getting (re) started.
