Rob, can you honestly tell me Diego Forlan was good enough to be a United player? He worked tirelessly all game, there's no denying that, but in sheer quality and technique the guy was clearly lacking. His distribution was, at times, appauling and his shooting was rushed and reckless. He was light-weight and if you compare his game to Smithy's or Rooney's the difference is laughable. As for the statistics, it is true he didn't make that many starts etc., but in my mind his goal tally wasn't what really pissed me off - it was his general match-play.

As for Kezman, the guy was prolific in Holland (as was Ruud) and now he's off the mark it wouldn't surprise me if he weighed in with a fair few goals. Goal-scoring is all about confidence and the guy undeniably had it yesterday to take that penalty in that manner.

On a side not, everytime I see Robben play I get pissed off a little bit more. That bloke should be a United player and Giggs' heir to the left-wing throne, but for the cretins on the MUFC board.
