Manchester United vs Everton – First half review: English Premier League
Manchester United kicked off the first half of their encounter against Everton in fine fashion as the Red Devils fielded http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Rio-Ferdinand-c31173. Sir Alex brought about several changes to his starting line-up after
Manchester United’s nil all draw with Newcastle United at Saint James’s Park last week. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fabio-c13152 da Silva started the match as the home side’s right back whereas John O’Shea started on the left side of defence for the title challengers.
In midfield, Anderson Oliveira was given a starting spot despite his weak showing against Newcastle. Anderson was complimented by Darren Gibson in midfield while Luis Nani and Antonio Valencia took up their place on the respective wings for Manchester United.
Wayne Rooney and Javier Hernandez made up Manchester United’s strike force and Edwin Van der Sar took up his customary place in between the goal posts for Sir Alex Ferguson’s men.
On the other hand, David Moyes also went all out for the win as Jermaine Beckford and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Diniyar-Bilyaletdinov-c11318 and Seamus Coleman played on the wings whereas Phillip Neville was supported by Jack
Rodwell in central midfield. At the back, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sylvain-Distin-c34430 and Leighton Baines made up the rest of the back four. Tim Howard also took the field against his former club as Everton’s first choice
shot-stopper.
Manchester United’s first threatening move of the match materialised in the 25th minute when Anderson played in Hernandez down the left hand side. However, Jagielka showcased tremendous defencive skills as he read the Mexican striker’s run and
blocked his shot at the near post. In the 31st minute, Javier Hernandez found himself in the space inside the Everton penalty area as http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736 lofted a wonderfully timed through ball towards the young striker. Hernandez headed the ball towards
the on-rushing http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tim-Howard-c35095 who palmed the ball away for a Manchester United corner kick.
In the 38th minute, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Nani-c27299 whose eventual effort on Everton’s goal was deflected away from the penalty
area via Javier Hernandez. Nonetheless, Manchester United’s dominance in the first half didn’t convert into something substantial as the first half came to a close with the score line at nil all at Old Trafford.
