[CC] Man Utd 1-2 Crystal Palace

[taz_devil_utd]

Line Up pertandingan ini (Confirmed):

Amos

Rafael - Smalling - Evans - Fabio

Valencia - Gibson - Park - Diouf

Macheda - Berbatov

Bench: Lindegaard, Fryers, M. Keane, Pogba, Morrison, Cole, Lingard


Ternyata Pogba dan Morrison cuma masuk bench
Agak kecewa karena justru SAF lebih milih ngasih game time ke Gibson, mungkin karena habis cidera panjang. Semoga mereka berdua masuk di babak kedua nanti.

Come on lads!!!

United's Carling Cup campaign is over after Crystal Palace snatched an extra-time winner at Old Trafford to seal their place in the semi-finals.

The Eagles join Manchester City, Cardiff City and Liverpool in the last four after goals from Darren Ambrose and Glenn Murray dumped Sir Alex Ferguson's men out of the competition.

Ambrose gave the visitors a surprise lead midway through the first period but Federico Macheda soon equalised from the penatly spot. That sent the game to extra-time, where Murray headed home on 106 minutes to send the Championship side into the semi-finals. United's disappointment, meanwhile, was heightened by first-half injuries to Fabio, Rafael and Dimitar Berbatov.

This wasn't a team full of youngsters, either. Eight of United's starting XI were either current or retired senior internationals. Only Ben Amos, Rafael and Federico Macheda are yet to win a full cap.

That meant there was no place from the start for the likes of Paul Pogba, Ravel Morrison, Michael Keane, Zeki Fryers or Larnell Cole, all of whom have featured in this season's earlier rounds.

Crystal Palace, currently 12th in the Championship, enjoyed a bright start in front of their vocal travelling support, with both Wilfried Zaha and Jermaine Easter momentarily sneaking behind the Reds' defence inside the opening 10 minutes.

United weren't overrun, though. The Reds kept possession well, passed the ball on the ground and patiently probed for openings. Darron Gibson, given the task of anchoring the midfield in his first start for seven months, was heavily involved, spreading the ball to both flanks and consistently providing the Reds' centre-backs with an outlet.

Still, there was precious little goalmouth action in the first period and neither Amos nor Lewis Price had to make a save of any note before the interval. The closest anybody came to breaking the deadlock was on the stroke of half-time, when Mame Biram Diouf rounded off a speedy Reds counter-attack by sending an acrobatic effort just over the crossbar.

The only other incidents of note in a dour first 45 minutes were unfortunate hamstring injuries that forced United's Fabio and Palace's Sean Scannell off and knocks to Berbatov and Dean Moxey (both ankle) that meant neither reappeared for the second half.

In Berbatov's place, Sir Alex thrusted Ravel Morrison, the talented teenager from Wythenshawe with an uncanny knack for unlocking opposition defences. His energy and creativity certainly made a difference, although it was Patrick McCarthy's defensive error that gifted the first chance of the second half to Antonio Valencia, who slid his shot wide of the post when clean through on goal. Morrison then got in on the action, stinging Price's palms after neat control 25 yards from goal, while Macheda fluffed a volley shortly afterwards. Price then had to be alert to keep out another Morrison effort with his feet as United ramped up the pressure in search of the game's opening goal.

It duly arrived, but at the other end. And boy was it a cracker, Darren Ambrose collecting the ball 35 yards from goal before advancing briefly and firing an unstoppable effort into the top corner. It was arguably the best goal scored at Old Trafford by a visiting player since Dean Ashton's overhead kick at the Stretford End in 2008, and yet Ambrose's joy was short-lived.

Within three minutes, the Reds were level, Federico Macheda slotting home from the penalty spot after being tugged to the ground by McCarthy. Palace fans felt aggrieved but replays showed their captain had grabbed a fistful of Macheda's shirt in a desperate attempt to preseve his side's lead.

With parity restored and Paul Pogba, sent on moments before Ambrose's thunderbolt, beginning to assert himself more in the middle of the park, United pushed for a winner. That inevitably left a few gaps at the back, however, and Palace weren't shy in trying to exploit them. It made for an entertaining final 10 minutes but ultimately neither side could prevent the tie from going to extra-time. Despite heavy Reds presssure, Palace were first to strike. Substitute Glenn Murray, perhaps standing marginally in an offside position when Ambrose's free-kick was whipped in, eluded his marker to head the visitors in front on 98 minutes after Ji-sung Park had illegally halted Zaha's run.

Gibson and Macheda both went close to nabbing a second equaliser, while Ambrose tested Amos with another bullet from distance before the extra-time interval.

The Reds threw everything at Palace in the final 15 minutes as Sir Alex's men pressed for penalties but the Londoners stood firm to register a famous victory.

My Reaction:


1.


2. Permainan terburuk United musim ini. Babak pertama pertandingan ini adalah babak pertama paling membosankan yang pernah saya tahu. Sama sekali ga ada kerja sama tim dan chemistry antar pemain. Banyak kesalahan passing dan hampir ga ada peluang mencetak gol.

3. Lini belakang tampil tanpa koordinasi, hanya Smalling yang bermain cukup bagus sepanjang pertandingan. Mungkin disebabkan karena banyaknya pemain yang baru sembuh dari cidera (Rafael, Smalling, Evans, Gibson). Lini tengah dan depan pun sama sekali ga ada kontribusinya. Hanya Gibson yang bermain lumayan dan rapi. Valencia, Park, dan Berba tampil sangat mengecawakan. Mereka pemain paling senior di tim malam ini tapi mereka ga menunjukkan performa yang sepantasnya.

4. Mame Biram Diouf. Bagi saya karirnya di United sudah habis. Kontrol dan first touchnya sangat jelek, dan nyaris menghilang sepanjang pertandingan. Bahkan dia melakukan kesalahan dalam melakukan lemparan ke dalam ffs!!! Saya ga tau kenapa SAF justru memasang Diouf jadi striker di babak pertama dan menggeser Macheda di sayap kiri, dan hasilnya pun kelihatan, Macheda bermain jelek.

5. Pemilihan line up oleh SAF malam ini adalah yang paling mengecewakan untuk saya. Saya mungkin bisa mengerti alasan dipilihnya Gibson dan Macheda, karena mereka butuh jam bermain dengan tim utama terutama Gibson. Tapi mengutamakan Diouf di atas Morrison atau Pogba?

6. Fabio dan Rafael benar2 seperti barang pecah belah. Dua2nya main jadi starter dan dua2nya harus diganti karena cidera. Tim medis United harus cari cara membuat mereka menjadi lebih kuat secepatnya kalau ga mau melihat karir mereka terhambat karena cidera.

7. Saya harap setelah pertandingan ini orang2 yang terus meminta Pogba main di PL bisa memikirkan kembali pendapat mereka. Dia sama sekali belum siap. Main tanpa determinasi dan urgensi, dan mentalnya masih lemah. Dia punya talenta tapi dia masih sangat muda, dan orang2 sudah menganggap dia bisa memperbaiki kondisi lini tengah United saat ini. Beri dia satu atau dua musim lagi.

8. Morrison dan Fryers lumayan. Masuknya Morrison di babak kedua cukup bisa menambah daya serang United tapi sekali lagi mentalnya belum cukup kuat. Permainannya belum sepenuhnya sinkron sama teman setimnya.

9. Kekalahan yang sangat disayangkan. United dapat jalur undian paling "mudah" tapi membuangnya begitu saja. Mungkin memang gol kedua mereka offside, tapi dengan permainan semalam United memang ga pantas untuk masuk ke babak selanjutnya. Saya harap SAF berpikir lebih keras lagi dalam menentukan komposisi terbaik tim.

"I don't know where to start to be honest. My apologies go to our fans tonight because that was not a Manchester United performance." - Sir Alex Ferguson-

Boss says sorry to fans

Sir Alex Ferguson apologised to United fans after the Reds were knocked out of the Carling Cup by Crystal Palace at Old Trafford.

Glenn Murray's extra-time header, albeit from a marginally offside position, secured a famous 2-1 victory for the Eagles who put on a dogged display throughout the quarter-final tie.

Sir Alex was full of praise for Palace's effort, but hugely disappointed by his own side's performance.

"I don't know where to start to be honest. My apologies go to our fans tonight because that was not a Manchester United performance," he told MUTV.

"I don't want to take anything away from Crystal Palace - I wish them every success and I hope they get to the final. It was a fantastic, mammouth effort from all of them. Every one of their players worked their socks off to get to the semi-finals.

"We maybe played too many short passes, but I'm not going to dwell on it and go into the ins and outs of it all.

"When it went to extra-time I thought we must win it, but it wasn't to be. Their second goal was offside from what I've seen on the cameras, but I can't take it away from Crystal Palace, they fought hard to get the result and they deserve it. It's a very disappointing night for Manchester United." (manutd.com)
