United inching ahead

November 8, 2008 By Redhead

A victory could have set us through the stages but a fair result seeing what Ferguson picked for the match.Celtic as such at home are not as poor as they are on away fixtures.There last 10 games at home have been fairly profitable and also keeping in mind which the players we were playing in.

As thought Celtic turned out to be different.Wasn’t the same Celtic that we saw at OT.United though were confident of maintaining clean sheet first blow was from Celtic side.Poor positioning by our new Goalie,Foster allowed Mc Donald to chip the ball into the corner.A beautiful crafted goal by Celtic however u can give credits to keeper too.

United didnt look any sort of different after conceding goal so early.The cheeky play was still there however improvements was seen in set pieces.As such the later game went on with “Covering the post” strategy as Celtic walled their 11 men in front of their poles.

The game progressed and was approaching the time.Ferguson then decided to pick up his strongest brute force and brought Rooney and Berba.No difference either as Celtic had a mindset of not taking or allowing any lead.
Just as things were looking over for United,Ronaldo magic sparked everyone’s faces.A long shot fired from Ronaldo left Celtic’s keeper dazzled while he only managed to get his hand in between the ball.The power and curl was so much that even the rebound didn’t help the ball to bounce far.Giggs then took the ball scoring for United leveling United.A well deserved goal as we worked very hard of this one.I assumed it to be an easy one but turned out way different.

Now its time to get Gooners!!
