Making our point despite Anelka missing it again

ALTHOUGH a point a piece was a fair result, I couldn’t shake off the feeling we missed a chance to put United to the sword, or, rather, that Anelka missed the chance . . . again!

It’s unfair, I know, to blame a result on one player, but the man who missed in Moscow spurned another, equally good, opportunity for redemption on Sunday.

For a striker of his pedigree Anelka isn’t doing enough, and one cannot use the “settling into the Premier League” excuse as he has played for a few sides in the top flight in England.
