United’s makeshift backline holds at West Ham
December 5, 2009 by: Marc McDermott | Our Manchester United Soccer Blog
Well this week’s EPL match was definitely one for the books at Fergie’s United team traveled to London, visiting a struggling West Ham United team. Going into the game, United found themselves 5 points behind Premier League leader, Chelsea who took the reverse traveling route up to Manchester City this week.
United started the game with a rather unusual back four consisting of Darren Fletcher, Neville, Brown, and Evra (right to left). With several defenders on the injured/ill list including Ferdinand, Vidic, O’Shea, Fabio, Evans, and Van der Sar, this back line would be a true test of United’s strength in depth.
Five mid fielders made up the front force for United, with Wayne Rooney the lone striker. After Gary Neville pulled up with a calf injury near the end of the first half, United were forced to throw another mid fielder into the mix to represent the back line. Michael Carrick quickly entered the match for Neville as the 7th mid fielder to be on the pitch for United. If West Ham ever had a chance of beating United, it was today at Upton Park in front of their home fans with a broken United back line.
With goals coming from Gibson, Scholes, Valencia and Rooney, United easily took out the Hammers with a 4–0 victory. Goal of the match for me was without question Gibson’s 20 yard strike to make for his 3rd goal of the week (2 goals scored midweek in the Carling Cup).
Strength in squad depth certainly was the primary contributer to United soaring passed West Ham today. Back up in Manchester, Man City did a stellar job knocking of leaders Chelsea. United are now only 2 points below Chelsea in the table!
