I'm no tactical guru but even I would have thought saying "er, Vik ran in a straight line so, er, he could head the ball" is a bit simplistic. If you wanna analyse that goal, it was B's wayward pass and Gabby jumping into rescue the situation in such a way that he found Leo perfectly and set him away on the counter.

If B had played the pass better, we wouldn't have been able to break like that.

But as Rooney's up for us winning, I'll take it. Dunno who that Manc is next to him but he's against us. Really hope that we win it this year and Neville's really uphappy as a result.
