semoga beneran amin. City udah nunggu bikin ketar ketir liat ekspresi RvP pas cedera.

Di luar permainan semua pemain yg bagus ( kecuali Young ) menurut saya Giggs yg jadi pembeda. Passing2 Scholes-esque di penalti sama gol kedua. Sayang Evra missed next match, bisa jadi timpang di kiri diisi Buttner yg minim menit bermain.

Ane lupa menit ke berapa babak kedua,,tp dr touchline moyes berkali2 ngasih instruksi supaya defensive line naik..dan cukup berhasil

Kunci kemenangan ada di fellaini,,holding ball nya bagus,tp sempet hampir gagal sekali pas salah kordinasi sama giggs,dan berbuntut counter attack,,untung gagal

Yup mereka sejatinya adalah fullback tapi role mereka yang lebih attacking makanya kadang disebut wing back ato populer dengan sebutan Modern fullback

bangun subuh karena ini adalah partai terakhir United di UCL untuk 5 musim kedepan

IMO

we're lucky karena olympiakos ga punya striker tajam,awal babak pertama united ditekan terus,serangan dari sayap mulu..dan untung mereka ga bisa maksimalin peluang itu..kalo bisa we're finish..

dan soal serangan menurut gw masih belum terlalu kreatif kok cuma yang membedakan adalah semangat juangnya,itu yang selama ini hilang..walopun menurut gw semangat juangnya ga sama kaya dulu..

inget tiap UCL main di OT,dari menit pertama tu lawan langsung dikurung dan digempur habis2an,pembantaian roma ato pas lawan muenchen..kliatan banget pemaen united mengurung lawan dari area garis tengah..yang tadi pagi tidak seagresf itu tapi menurut gw di era moyes ini semangat juang paling tinggi..

setelah gol pertama,olympiakos tetap mengandalkan sayap karena tau 2 bek sayap kita sukanya jalan2 ke depan dan hampir aja united dibobol karena evra telat mundur dan pas ngejar kaya udah ga punya tenaga lagi,beruntung kita punya dave the save..

setelah gol ketiga gw udah mikir pasti bertahan nih,dan benar...untung beknya bener terutama jones dan penampilan dave the save..
valencia menurut gw berperan di defense aja,untuk penyerangan dia sama sekali ga berperan,karena bawa bola lari lurus dah gt dihadang lawan mentok balikin bola ke belakang (ya emang dia bisanya cuma gitu ya ) tapi dia cover area sayap yang sering ditinggal rafael..

selamat untuk match ini moyes...match ini aja lho
pemilihan pemainnya tepat dan mungkin dia udah ngerasa tekanan di united kali ya,mukanya tegang bener

pas RvP cedera gw demen banget liat rio marah2 ke bek olympiakos,lah dia yang buat cedera malah dia yang marah2, kalo masih ada keane kayanya tu pemaen udah dikemplang

permainan dan suasana OT yang rrruaaarrrr biyaasaaaa...

ok now bring on Muenchen/ Barca/ Madrid..

lebih cepat lebih baik..

biar ga gede kepala dan balik lagi ke bumi..

*Tampaknya masih akan bangun subuh untuk 2 match lagi..

[theater of dream]

Ternyata semangat Robson, Wilkins cs benar2 dalam mengalahkan Barca 30 tahun yang silam berhasil menginspirasi pemain2 United..
This my happiest day since beginning of this year..

Setuju nih sama abang ini. Kalau secara permainan masih belum terlalu kreatif. Om Evra juga sering jadi bulan-bulanan, bikin sport jantung.
Yang paling membedakan dari laga-laga sebelumnya adalah semangat juangnya, spiritnya. Luaarr biasaaa..
Sebenernya kalau united punya semangat ini tiap pertandingan, ane yakin ga akan begitu mengecewakan.
Roney ada dimana-mana euy, depan, tengah...
Sebenernya sebagai Kagawa lover , kecewa juga sama Pakde Moyes. But its fine, performance yang bagus tadi malam.

Glory Glory Manchester United

niat begadang karena kepikiran ini pertandingan eropa terakhir sampe setahun ke depan, ternyata malah melihat keajaiban..

what a game..

Man United 3-0 Olympiacos (agg 3-2): Van Persie hat-trick lifts huge weight off Moyes's shoulders as Red Devils reach last eight after heroic Old Trafford performance

It wasn’t one of those perfect hat-tricks. It wasn’t sublimely skilful, or greatly artistic in execution, not the poetry in motion we have come to expect in this tournament from Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo.

Yet it is hard to believe there will be a more valuable contribution to the David Moyes era than that of Robin van Persie at Old Trafford on Wednesday night.

He didn’t just put Manchester United into the Champions League quarter-finals. He may even have kept his manager in employment.

Considering the wildly differing opinions about the job being done by Moyes around these parts, this may one day be seen as blessing or curse.

On Wednesday night, though, everybody seemed delighted, and that can only be a good thing, having had so little to shout about of late.

The one cloud was Van Persie’s disappearance on a stretcher late in the second half, following a challenge by Olympiacos defender Kostas Manolas.

On this form, United will need him, if not this weekend, then certainly against Manchester City here next Tuesday. Moyes was playing the injury down on Wednesday night, perhaps anxious not to dampen the positive vibes.

Up to his point of departure, Van Persie’s contribution had defined the game. He won the penalty, took the penalty, scored the penalty, scored the aggregate equaliser, then nailed the winner.

On the touchline, Moyes was bouncing about like a man 20 years younger — or 20 years older if one recalls some of Sir Alex Ferguson’s more exuberant celebrations.

Indeed, there was an almost retro feel to this, a match and performance unlike any other in Moyes’s brief time at the club.

This was United as they used to be — bold, brave, cavalier, the defence giving everyone kittens from time to time, the forwards making up for it with awesome levels of energy.

Wayne Rooney covered more ground than any player on the field, and Ryan Giggs didn’t so much roll back the years as bathe in an elixir of youth.

All yours: Van Persie and strike partner Wayne Rooney celebrate on their knees after the third goal


Treble: Van Persie completes his first ever Champions League hat-trick just after half-time with a free-kcik


Scenes: Old Trafford erupted as Van Persie stroked home the free-kick from 20 yards


Double up: Van Persie slots home from close range to make it 2-0 to United


RVP, 123: The flying Dutchman gestures to the Stretford End after scoring the winner overall in the tie


The old days: Old Trafford erupted as Van Persie came up with the goods just before half-time


All over: The referee blows the full-time whistle to widespread relief around Old Trafford

He is tipped to manage here one day and his sole disadvantage will be the inability to throw himself into a match as important as this, to give United’s midfield the poise, class and purpose it has lacked for so much of this campaign.

Giggs played a part in United’s first two goals and barely put a foot wrong the rest of the night. Van Persie and Rooney were the fortunate recipients of a mature, intelligent range of passes, while even the most experienced members of Moyes’s squad — and the manager went for experience all the way here — benefitted from his presence.

Van Persie most of all. What a difference this was to last weekend. As disengaged as the striker appeared four days ago, so he was United’s life and soul on Wednesday night.

All smiles: United players celebrate Van Persie's second goal, but there was more to come


Get on: There was little time to celebrate the first goal as United rushed back to the centre circle


Elated: David De Gea, who had just made two fantastic saves, celebrates United's second goal




There's hope yet: Van Persie puts United ahead on the night from the spot in the first-half


Beyond grasp: Goalkeeper Roberto went the right way but Van Persie's effort was too strong


Under pressure: Van Persie was attempting to get on the end of Wayne Rooney's superb pass

It perhaps helped that Olympiacos quickly revealed themselves to be defensive dunderheads.

United suffered a rash of penalties on Sunday against Liverpool and events in the 23rd minute here quickly brought back memories of Phil Jones’s clumsy and fateful challenge on Liverpool’s Joe Allen.

Olympiacos defender Jose Holebas committed a similar offence, getting on the wrong side of Van Persie and then clattering into the back of him as Giggs played a crossfield pass.

Referee Bjorn Kuipers pointed to the spot, and Van Persie did the rest, striking the ball right and firmly enough that goalkeeper Roberto could not stop it, despite guessing correctly.

Old Trafford was lifted but it was the second goal, scored in first-half injury time, that sent the place into rapture.

Tight: Patrice Evra attempts to bring the ball under control under pressure from Leandro Salino


Worrying: Van Persie was brought off on a stretcher after suffering a late injury


Get up: Giggs (left) and Olympiakos' Hernan Perez battle for the ball


Call: United appealed for another penalty in the first-half after Valencia was brought down by Maniatis

With good reason, too. Olympiacos’s failure to hold on until the interval spoke of their vulnerability, as did the sight of defensive culprit Ivan Marcano arguing with and pushing his captain Giannis Maniatis as United’s players chased back to re-spot.

The fans sensed which way the game was going and so, it seemed, did the players and manager. Moyes positively skipped down the touchline to greet them all in the dressing-room.

Again Giggs was involved, picking out Rooney. Marcano won the tackle but failed to get the ball under control and Rooney hit a neat low pass for Van Persie to convert with style, getting in front of his man in the heart of the penalty area.

The scores were now tied. Not for long. Within six minutes, United were ahead on aggregate and never looked back.

Danny Welbeck was fouled by Holebas and Rooney stood over the ball. He did a dry run past, allowing Van Persie to come in from another angle and curl it into the net.

It passed perilously close to Roberto on the Olympiakos goal-line but he was flat-footed. It wasn’t his finest night, to be frank.

It was a huge one for Moyes, though, whose gamble in giving Giggs his first start since January paid off handsomely.

As for Antonio Valencia, it is fair to say he played Olympiacos with one eye shut after an early collision with Joel Campbell left him looking as if he had dropped his guard against Floyd Mayweather.

Yet, Van Persie aside, the hero of the night was David de Gea. One goal from Olympiacos, remember, and United would have needed four to progress, and De Gea saved his team on three occasions, much to the obvious exasperation of the Greek contingent in the Old Trafford directors’ box.

The first Olympiacos chance to be wasted was their fault, just 16 minutes in, Arsenal loanee Campbell skinning Jones and cutting the ball back to Hernan Perez, who shot wildly over from no more than eight yards.

Shortly before half-time, though, De Gea kept United in the tie. The defence was carved open and a cross fell to David Fuster, who was thwarted by the Spaniard, saving with his feet.

The ball came out and in came Alejandro Dominguez, Olympiacos’s playmaker and architect of the first-leg victory, but De Gea was equal to his shot — feet first again. Shades of Peter Schmeichel and five-a-side over the park.

Brave man: Valencia continued playing after the incident despite the black eye


That way! Phil Jones wrong-foots Arsenal loanee Joel Campbell, who scored in the first leg


The man who did it all: Sir Alex Ferguson was in the stands again on Wednesday night


Onlooking: Avram Glazer (centre) takes his seat in the stands before the match


Pressure on: David Moyes looks on before what was perhaps the biggest game of his managerial career

The second half brought scant respite for frayed nerves. In the 65th minute, De Gea needed to be equal to another shot from Fuster and as a last act of defiance parried a low one from Dominguez, which Campbell sent over on the rebound. United were safe.

Whether this is a first shoot of recovery or just an illusion courtesy of a weak opponent remains to be seen; certainly United will be the name many hope for in the quarter-final draw, a sobering thought for those still giddy with excitement.

The bottom line, though, is that this was a night for men to show their mettle and some of United’s biggest names did just that.

There may be scepticism over Olympiacos’s quality, but here was a side of United too rarely seen this season. Scrappy and happy.

And in tomorrow’s draw, as if nothing had changed.
