11/03/2012 Match of the Day 2

Tell me, can you feel it? There is no such thing as a normal Match Of

the Day from here on in, whether at the top or bottom. If Lee Dixon and

Alan Hansen and not enough to get the pulses racing, we have a Brucie

bonus, has Steve Bruce joins us. And if Wigan managed to improve

their chances of survival. First of, entered this match as premier-

league top dogs. Balotelli was fined for a night out. And despite

scoring last week, Mancini said he should have been fined more. This

one's have been flying. King Brendan says he will stay even if

Rahman comes knocking. His stock is sky-high. But the boss wants to see

his job through. Jonathan Pearce commentates.

Swansea's attracted ball retention style has brought them already just

three points from safety. For Manchester City, a tortuous title

race. They need a win. Nathan Dyer is banned. Wayne Routledge replaces

him. There and you will wage bill is the same as Manchester City pay

Yaya Toure and Carlos Tevez alone. -- their annual wage bill. Richards

returns first city. -- from But the Premier League leaders have

given away a penalty after five minutes. The ball was aimed at

Graham. The keeper flew out. He did not get anything on the ball. That

is where contact was made. Right leads, City will say, was going

down anyway and looking for it. -- Routledge. Scott Sinclair has

already scored four from the spot this season. The goalkeeper had to

come. He will say the player made penalty. Manchester City will feel

justice was done. You will not get past me. There was no way you're

going to get past me. Real mind games going on. What a let-off for

the Premier League leaders. He always looked tentative in his run-

up. The strike was low and lacked wrong-footed by the shot. It lacked

any power. Balotelli was in a fit of pique, I would suggest.

The free kick moments ago having been denied him. He takes notes.

Communication is so important, he says, in the art of man-management.

City are going to make a change. Gareth Barry is coming off and

Aguero is coming on. Barry not particularly happy with the

decision at all. Displeasure on the City's first corner kick of the

game and we have been playing 42 minutes. That should have been

converted. Deflected up and over by Another corner kick. Balotelli

the Premier League leaders, subdued in the first half. We are keyring

reports that there was a bus stop in the tunnel between Yaya Toure

and Mario Balotelli. If there was, they seem to have kissed and made

up. There was some pushing and Toure. Vital defending. Saved his

team. Good Swansea move. Manchester The referee took a cursory glance,

shook his head and moved away quickly. Not enough contact to send

ball. They have worked so hard up and down the pitch. Michel Vorm

gathers. But only just. Balotelli was closing in. That shot had power

from Micah Richards. Strongly stock. Anxiety etched on 19 the's face. --

pits, Luke Moore scores. Manchester City are in tears. -- pitch. Is

this the moment it all goes wrong? Savic made the mistake. Manchester

City thought they had recovered. Sigurdsson held it up. Nobody

closed on Routledge. He had too much space to pick his marker in

the middle. Look at the freedom for Luke Moore. Unlovely header, poor

defending. It has not been a good afternoon from Manchester City.

Disgruntled, bickering, Moodie. Behind. Manchester City anger their

manager, will not be happy with the defending. It is Yarrow at -- Yaya

Vorm anticipated it. Balotelli at his best there. Difficult angle,

men in the middle but it was worth over five minutes remaining. Can

they hold on? Kolo Toure! Michel Vorm was equal to it again. Too

much space. Stretching but he measured the shot, kept it down.

have gone behind. -- all leave when did not get it. 1-1! Micah

Richards! The flag is up. Offside. Roberto Mancini is left open-

They sense this could be a vital moment, it's vital day in the title

Roberto Mancini pondering. Another wonderful day for Brendan Rodgers.

Manchester City will feel the breath of Sir Alex Ferguson on the

back of their next right now. -- the journey to Wales, City faltered

and this defeat could be so costly at the end of the season. What a

win for Swansea. We should not be surprised any more. It is a great

day for Swansea City. This was a great game for us. I thought the

best team won. We were outstanding. I have a huge respect for

Manchester City. They have been top class all season. But it really was

a day for us. The players deserve the credit. What went wrong in

terms of the performance? What did you not get right? I think we did

not play very well for the first 10 minutes. They had control of the

game. They had a good ball possession. We had a chance. We had

a chance also in the second half when we had total control of the

game. After we did that mistake when we conceded a goal with five

minutes to go. How refreshing is it to play with the manager who does

everything with the ball? Yes. Until you actually see it I don't

think you could kind of understand it. He is a great manager. I'm

thoroughly enjoying playing for him. We heard reports of an argument

between two players? I do not know. We have had some brilliant games.

There is no doubt if you beat Manchester City and you perform

like we performed today in the Barclays Premier League against one

of the best squads in European football, I cannot think of to many

Another masterclass at home for Swansea. It is quite incredible,

the performances they are putting in on a regular basis. They have

been a breath of fresh air. The one thing, they have played some

fantastic football, that cannot be doubted. But they have kept, I

think today was their 10th clean sheet, which was absolutely vital.

I think the manager has a lot to say about that, the resilient he

shows, and when he was at Chelsea as a young man, he came to the for

quickly as a good coach. He has gone on to manage, his stock is

rising by the minute. In terms of that game, I could have done the

analysis! You know what you're going to get with Swansea, superb

passing team, especially at home. Sometimes away from home they get

caught out, but when Europe their pace, you have to match their

passing. -- when you are at their Balotelli is one of them. The ball

gets switched inside, the four are still trying to work, but not

necessarily together. There is a ball in midfield, all of a sudden,

three midfield players are breaking, Gareth Barry is that on his own.

Outnumbered, out-passed. So they have to try and work out how to

press. Again, there is the four in midfield. Watch how far Steven

Caulker is allowed to come with the ball. No one comes near him. Easy

ball out wide, so after 37 minutes, Mancini thinks, we need an extra

player to press up front, Aguero comes on. Gareth Barry is unhappy,

picks his boots off. He gets Silva on the ball, he then he was offered

today, his passing was poor. -- he was off today. Just attacked at

space, that is what we expect him to do, what we have seen him do.

Nothing was working for him today. In the second half, he had a lot

more of the ball and didn't really use it. Silva was in possession,

they lose the ball again. Eventually, they get a chance near

the end. A great header from Richard, but quite rightly, offside.

City have got no excuses, they didn't work it out earlier on. Well

played, Swansea. So bring them's players to what he tells them.

would appear then! The other side would appear to be lots of the

tunnel rumblings, and allegedly, Balotelli and Yaya Toure having a

Barney. I think Balotelli is a distraction, I have said that all

season, he is a magnet for the press and the media, it is really

good news. That is acceptable if you what a world beater, I think he

is a really good player, especially at home, but today, for me, he

didn't do enough. That would sum up Manchester City, when they go away

from home, four defeat in the last eight, if you are going to win this

title, you need to have leadership, grit, determination, you haven't --

can have the tactics, the players, but you need to have more than that.

No matter how much money you have, when you lose your captain and you

lose Julien Lescott, you will suffer. It I think that some

company is a big player for them, he has the leadership. When you're

under pressure, somebody, somewhere has got to get to grips with the

whole team and say, this is not good enough. Manchester City,

frankly, didn't have any of that today. A win today for Swansea, and

when the big guns have gone through that whole bridge and paid their

money, it hasn't been money well spent. United got a 1-0 win, but we

are looking at real scalps. It was only United you have one there. You

have to take it as a compliment. They have been fantastic, the way

they have played the game, they have steely resilience, it is a

fantastic achievement. If you beat one, you can say it is a fluke, but

not the amount they have beaten this season. You have got good

balance between playing away, they play the same away, but they have

to and three touches on the ball. Brendan Rodgers, by a matter of

months, is the second youngest manager in the Premier League. Wise

beyond his years. After that result, a chance for Manchester United to

go on top of the table for the first time since they beat Norwich

in October. In their weight was bogey some nagging doubt in Europe,

but the going looks good in the final furlong. Last week, they were

too classy for Spurs, see you would expect them to beat West Brom at a

canter. But Roy's boys are in great condition, they have won their last

three. Wolves, Sunderland and Chelsea have all fallen to free-

scoring Albion. Sometimes, favourites Duc ball. -- are

against the Baggies. They make four changes to the side which has so

thoroughly outplayed in midweek. Raphael, Giggs and as morning make

away. Three consecutive wins at present Albion's best top-flight

run in a decade. Steven Reid is out for the season, and it Jerome

A great chance for West Brom to take the lead. Andrews has already

scored twice in his fledgling Albion Korea. It was a lovely ball

into the box, inviting for Andrews, who stretched, but couldn't direct

the contact. He was honest enough to admit, after the match against

will bow, that they were second for Ashley Young. -- Ben Foster's

goal. Foster, not to be beaten at his near post. They have won four

and lost one of their last seven away from home, West Bromwich

Albion. It really is blossoming into another excellent season for

I think there was. -- the end of Young. Bright and sparky play from

the England man. He did ever so decent chance. -- Danny Welbeck's

Between them, 74 years of football the best moment yet for Manchester

United, coming on the counter. Lovely counter-attack, started by

Patrice Evra, very nearly finished by Rooney. Ashley Young involved,

as you would expect, he looks in offside, but they are not going to

get it, West Bromwich Albion. Manchester United are in front. It

had been covering. -- coming. West Brom made a big appeal for offside

here. As Hernandez hits it, there is no offside there either. Good

season. There is nothing lucky about that. He is gambling. He gets

fell on Rooney. -- was for that went over. He is absolutely sure

that should have been a penalty. you would have to say, that looks

end, West Bromwich Albion have a very, very decent penalty shout,

and that the other, Hernandez smacks the woodwork. -- at the

head, he was only about eight inches off the ground, a great

piece of technique. Unfortunately for him, it was straight at Foster.

Roy Hodgson will reflect on the decision that went against his side.

Danny Welbeck suddenly had an open Olsson. A yellow card here. He is

off. Second yellow. And West Bromwich Albion have a big problem

now. Absolutely no complaints from the Swede, nor from the manager.

But early in the second half for a foul on Wayne Rooney. -- booked. He

didn't get there. And he is sent Really good readjustment from the

keeper. There was a shout very penalty. -- a shout for a penalty.

The shot from every hit McAuley on yesterday at Goodison Park for

Everton. And there is Gary Neville. Is that a penalty? Yes, it is.

Ashley Young has been terrific today. Andrews fired him. Roy

Hodgson is absolutely livid. He has had a big decision go against his

side. There is a little bit of contact. Wayne Rooney will attempt

to score his second of the game. And he does. Manchester United 2,

West Bromwich Albion nil. -- 0. It with the save. Nice break.

Odemwingie to mumbo. -- Mulumbu. Good stop. It has been a great run

for West Bromwich Albion, it really has. But it is coming to an end.

Young! That would have capped a good display today. Inviting ball

in just over the top of the goalkeeper. Just could not control

their header. The United fans have water and up. Presumably the news

from Swansea is good for them. United's thoroughbreds are bookie's

favourite once again for the title. We played really well. The goal

obviously settles you. In the second half we could have scored a

lot of goals. I thought you're side showed great discipline. Did not

get a break with a penalty call? never intended to foul him but I

think he did catch him. But when Rooney put them ahead with that

excellent goal, that meant we have to find a goal from somewhere, it

was going to be an uphill task. When you see the replays, the

timing of his runners fantastic. It is a really good finish. What is a

feeling on the red card? I did not see the first one. The second

challenge is one which had no malice but it is a yellow card when

you do not win the ball. Obviously there was excitement with 10

minutes remaining when the news came through from Swansea? Yes,

obviously we could hear the noise from the crowd. We had to stay

focused. There are 10 games left. A lot can happen. We have to make

sure we stay focused. significant a Sunday is this? We

will know, they 13. -- come may 30th. A I don't mind being top of

the league. Quite happy with that. We have clawed back some points. We

have turned it around a good bit. We have 10 games. United could lose.

It is important at this moment that we are strong. When you are on the

topic is easy. Now we're disappointed. But I think we are

confident. We all get nervous. We showed that today. We kept playing

our football. A lot of the fans were thinking, get us the second

goal. And what they kept playing. It did not bother them one little

A big decision to early in this game? Absolutely. It is 1-0 to

Manchester United. West Brom still have 11 on the pitch. From that

have 11 on the pitch. From that angle, it looks a penalty kick.

Makes contact. If they get a penalty kick it is 1-1 and it may

have been different. In the end Manchester reunited won at a canter.

They did and they look special. The man alongside Rooney played well?

They did. Karic, Scholes and Welbeck. And Jong on the left. The

three of them were exceptional. Some of the interplay, some of the

passing. Ashley Young was back to what we saw earlier in the season.

When Danny Welbeck backheel to this, Wayne Rooney is looking for it.

Unfortunately, cannot find him. This time, it is Ashley Young to

Rooney at the back stick. Great ball in. Welbeck two Rooney. Bolt

Rooney and Ashley Young are in the box when Welbeck crosses. This was

a feature of the match. An overhead kick from Rooney. Welbeck to Ashley

Young, good movement. Great save from Foster. Finally, the penalty

kick. Great ball into Ashley Young. Andrews basically has not got any

answer to Ashley Young. It was a great performance. We were talking

before about Manchester City. Some of the City players should look at

Wayne Rooney when he is having a bad time. When he is having a bad

time, he epitomises what Manchester United are. He is trying harder

after 65, 70 minutes than he was at the start. He wants to win so much.

Steve, we should mention a Jonny Evans, who has been flying under

Evans, who has been flying under the radar a little bit? Yes. A lot

of Manchester United fans were worried when Vidic got injured.

Fair play to Johnny. He has played well. He is only a young boy. He

had a bit of a tough time last year. He has done remarkably well this

year. Looks a fine player. I nice loving. Manchester City's form at

home has been sensational but it has been cancelled out by the away

form? Their home form has been quite incredible. Away from home

they have only scored four goals. That is in the last eight games.

Away from home that is a pretty dreadful return for a team with

that sort of firepower. They must score more to win more games away.

You will be in big trouble if you just rely on your home form going

into this end of the season. You need to pick up points by from on.

You need to build confidence. the four away defeats they have had,

the first two were Chelsea and Sunderland where they did not play

particularly badly. But the last two at the ones that would make you

Warwick, the one against Everton and today, when you have a look at

them for 90 minutes and they had not got any spirit when under

pressure. It has been a long hard season. When it comes to the end of

the season, it is not the quality of the play that gets you there, it

is about winning. There are still more twists. We have had a twist

already. We had another today. City have scored more goals. Let the

least number of goals in. It is not over at all. Blackburn Rovers 1

match at Old Trafford. Both managers said last week they were

going to drop points. Now is the critical time. This is when the big

games are coming up. I'm just looking at all three of you. Alan,

a key titles, Steve, three League titles, Lee, four League titles. Is

the first one be hard as? -- the hardest. My first one was my first

season. It came pretty quick. We always found up to -- difficult to

win the following year. Something Liverpool were better at.

Manchester United have done it time and time again. Not when Steve was

there. For me, the first one. But then Manchester United had not won

the League in 26 years. We have to overtake this lot. That was the big

challenge. The team that has not won it, has a big disadvantage

against a team that has won it. When I went to Liverpool in 1977

they had already won the Chaabi jet. I was in a championship-winning

side. -- Championship. The next time you do that as an individual

is definitely easier than the first. It was a lot easier in the

Seventies though, wasn't it?! glad I asked that question. I am

none of the wiser. Let's get you to Carrow Road where we were treated

today to an absolute belter between today to an absolute belter between

Norwich City and Wigan. The sea of yellow has been the backdrop to a

memorable season for Norwich. Carrow Road has been sold out every

week as the Canaries moved up the table. Paul Lambert's team has won

many friends. As for Wigan, it is all blue for them. They are rock

bottom with only one macro win in 12. Last week they were soundly

beaten by Swansea. Chairman Dave Whelan his far from happy. He

assured Roberto Martinez his job was safe, but for waiting to be

saved, they need points, and fast. -- Wigan.

Those victories for Blackburn and Bolton have put even more pressure

on begin to get three points today. Never scared to make changes, Paul

Lambert has made five. Wes Hoolahan get a recall. Wigan chairman Dave

Whelan was unhappy to see Victor Moses and Rodallega on the bench

last week. Ball around from the start today. -- the two of them are

many people give Roberto Martinez's men a chance. Hoolahan scores! 10

minutes gone. It is a familiar feeling for Roberto a poor --

Roberto Martinez and Wigan. Plenty of defenders. Hula and that more

determination. He scored at the DW Stadium on the opening day. He has

scored again. Norwich lead after 10 minutes. The first time they have

scored in the first half for six matches. You cannot defend like

that and expect to stay up. No team has scored less goals than Wigan in

the Premier League this season, 23 gathered by John Ruddy. It was a

very disappointing finish. Matt Jackson, former captain of Norwich

and Wigan, now I at the backroom team at the DW Stadium. He cycled

this week to raise money for That is what Roberto Martinez wants

to see happen with Moses and Rodallega or in the team. Really

good movement by Moses. Hit the past early. The effort was too

straight to trouble John Ruddy. No doubt about it, Wigan are growing

in stature. Norwich fans not happy like a good shout for a penalty.

Grant Holt blasted this towards goal. Definitely struck the hand of

Caldwell. I do not think anybody could suggest that was deliberate.

It is a feature of their games that we can see a lot of the ball but do

not do a lot with it. The deflection took that off the bar

the crossbar. It was not get much easier for Roberto Martinez and

Wigan on their travels next. It is John Ruddy saved it. A goal-kick

has been given. John Ruddy got lucky here. Gomez trying his luck

for the second time in a minute. That was more comfortable for the

goalkeeper. I thought that possibly came off Ward, was sliding into

gathered it bravely to his chest. This is better to John Mann. They

have been dominant position wise, now they are stretching the keeper,

Holt. Completely unmarked at the top of the screen as we can try to

play the offside trap. Wigan just simply cannot afford to go two

Rudi intelligent link-up between McCarthy and Jordi Gomez. He hasn't

scored far over yet. Rosie keeps his clean sheet intact after the

have what they deserve, an equaliser midway through the second

half. Moses, with his first goal in nine games, joy for the travelling

faithful. Victimise is coming in from the start, that is what the

chairman wanted. -- Victor Moses, in from the start. He stayed on his

feet, rounded the keeper, Wigan are level. On this form, you wouldn't

bet against them winning today. Look at the reaction of the manager.

It finished 1-1 at the DW Stadium back in August, but this is a game

This was close. Real power in the header from Elliott Ward. Close to

his first goal in over a year. Norwich, saving their best to the

he missed that?! He has only just come off the bench. What a

substitution that so nearly was. A brilliant move from Wigan. Mohamed

Diame timed his run to perfection, really should have scored. It was a

great chance to win the game. How hardly had a thing to do all

afternoon. But what a vital save, protecting the point, it might just

save Wigan Athletic at up to grab Two magnificent chances for the

Senegalese international, and he has failed to hit the target on

both occasions. Powerful running, should he have passed? He saw glory

have had all three. There -- they had chances late on to win it, but

remain at rock-bottom. There is a tad less pressure on you away from

home, and they are rich good side, I knew it would be it would be a

hard game, because everybody... But we might have won it towards the

death, their goalkeeper has made some great saves. We are sitting on

36., we have done incredibly well. I thought the way we cope with the

disappointment of giving her goal away early on was very, very good,

the mentality is very strong. We are in the position we are in

because we missed too many chances. They have been in the Premiership

for seven years, and we are just new to it. We are sitting right

among stick, I don't know where we are in the table, but hopefully we

will be OK. We need to get into the final third with a real

understanding that we deserved to score goals, because all the good

work that has been done all over the park is worthy of that.

Remember that Norwich is a very powerful side at home, and we cope

with that very well. Now we need to take that into Saturday's game

I am not sure there is a more positive manager in the Premiership

than Roberto Martinez! But he will be disappointed, all season it is

the amount of goals they have scored. They were different today,

they played two up top, Moses and Rodallega caused Norwich a lot of

problems. I suppose he will be thinking, at least we have played

well today. I think Reddan a go is the key to my had the pleasure of

working with the last, I think he has only played 11 games this

season, I think there has been too much talk about his contract, but

he is capable of scoring in the Premier League. He has been their

top goalscorer for the last couple of years, he is key to them. Half -

- we came in, Alan had his flask of tea, ready for the Manchester City

Manchester United face of, that was the game of the day. It was, it had

the most chances, the worst credit alone of chances, but

defensively, they were poor at times. -- created a lot of chances.

But they kept plugging away, Rawda Jager got his shot away, a great

shave. -- Rodallega got his shot away, a great save. The beauty of

the game is what the lads are saying, it was wide open. This was

Moses, scoring a goal, but like Steve says, I think Wigan played

better today than they have in the last few weeks. These guys are a

threat, Moses and Hugo Rawda Jager. By the end of the game, I think

that he would have been assured of the three points. This was Maloney,

he did really well. Mohamed Diame had just come on. He was just

stretching for it. At the other end, they have just got to tighten up,

53 goals they have given away. this one was a wonderful run by

Mohamed Diame. He lacked a bit of But he did have an impact when he

came on. So that will please them. The I don't like to do that, it

just makes me uneasy, showing the bottom of the table. I just think

none of those five teams care to I watched Wall this history, and

they were really poor, I would really worry about them. -- I

thing is that Blackburn, and the manager, who have been under severe

pressure all season, I think they will ultimately get out of it.

are risking blowing smoke where the sun doesn't shine, glossing over

Paul Lambert, doing a similar job. When it comes to manager of the

year time, Paul Lambert and Brendan Rodgers must be in with a shout.

They must be, they have not matched in the Premier League before, --

not managed. In the first tee, everybody is so excited in the

Premier League, but the way they have played it is so exciting, and

defensively, they have done enough to give themselves mid-table.

the biggest thing I have seen, they We will open up a box of tricks, a

look at Premier League players who have scored five in one game, but

will have to check that! He told us he had four league titles, we

checked and he only had three! he is a guest! Don't give him a

hard time. Steve, tell us about your seven European Cup statue one!

Let's get right up-to-date, a lot has been written and said about

your chance of being in the hot seat at all this. It didn't come

off. At at one stage, I thought it was close. There was dialogue in

the week, at one stage I thought it was close, they went down a

different route and chose Terry Connor, it is their prerogative,

and I wish Terry the best of luck, it is a really difficult job at the

moment for a re the experienced manager, let alone somebody trying

to cut their teeth. It wasn't to be. Given the amount of games you had

at Sunderland this season, you are an honest gentleman, is it hard to

watch them a week income away -- week out? Of course, but you are

delighted with the squad you put together. We made hell of a lot of

changes, and when you make change, you need a bit of time. It was as

if I were starting all over again. Five players were on loan, couldn't

secure them for one thing or another, two retired, we sold a

couple, so all of a sudden, for the money we got the Jordan Henderson,

we had to rebuild the squad of the 11 players we brought in. They just

needed that time. The one thing that disappointed me was the

Geordie thing, where Wright was born, they didn't help. All of a

sudden, there was a huge frustration. As a player they can

get away with the last season, you may have had a few dodgy games, you

probably didn't! But it is -- you know what it is time to leave, but

with a manager, Sunderland were 10th, he will always be tarnished

by his last few games. Especially in the Premier League, you're

branded a failure, and it is disappointing and frustrating

enough when you're getting sacked, for anybody, but when it is public

what it is in the Premier League, then it is difficult. That is the

one thing in football management people do forget, and that is

disappointment that I had, I wasn't allowed 11, 12 games, after the

season we had before, I thought I might have got a bit longer, but it

wasn't to be. How desperate are you can get back in management?

wife is absolutely desperate! It is the first time I have had any time

off, we have done things, gone away in the middle of winter, but now

I'm ready to go back to work, even though I enjoyed a TV, it is what I

did. Thank you. He may be with us again if he loves TV that might! It

makes sense to start around up at land as Kenny Dalglish and Marton

It was Fraizer Campbell's shot that caused the confusion. The Liverpool

goalkeeper could not get there before Nicklas Bendtner. Dirk Kuyt

could not steal a point for Liverpool late on. They have lost

three in succession. Klasnic came off the bench to win again that

net. I think he is saying there were two players in the way and he

could not see it. He should have taken it to Cisse. It is 1-1. Just

what Queen's Park Rangers needed. A lucky break. When his pass comes

through from Shaun Wright-Phillips, Cisse was offside. But he finishes

Blackburn celebrated moving out of the drop zone. A late winner from
