Ratings:

Mucha - 9/10 - Brilliant display by our number one. Made at least three absolutely vital saves. Top performance.
-
Coleman - 9/10 - Possibly his best performance for us this season. He was exceptional, Kolarov will have nightmares tonight.
Heitinga - 8/10 -
Distin - 8/10 - Both central defenders solid all game. They'll need to keep this up if we're in with a shot for Europe.
Baines - 7/10 - Pretty quiet game by his standards, but decent at the back and troubled them attacking.
-
Mirallas - 7.5/10 - Looked neat and tidy, without threatening all that much. Must be unfit to have been brought off.
Fellaini - 7.5/10 - Decent game, good assist for Jelavic and controlled their midfield but was shacked by the referee booking him early on.
Gibson - 8/10 - Thought he was superb, from first whistle to last. Simple yet very effective.
Osman - 9/10 - A captain's performance (take note, Phil Neville), topped off with a fantastic goal.
Pienaar - 6/10 - Poor to get himself sent off and only himself to blame. Apart from that looked ok, too.
-
Anichebe - 8.5/10 - Didn't directly threaten the goal but his hold up play was great and he was really up for it.

Subs:
Naismith - 1/10 - Don't know what Moyes is seeing in him to bring him on, but there again it is the same man who persists with Neville in important games such as Wigan then has to backtrack once his captain has embarrassed him. Naismith, everything he did reeked of League One.
Jelavic - 8/10 - Didn't have much to do, but what a goal to seal the win, and we could see what it meant to him. Fantastic, son.

1 for Naismith is horrible.

This performance makes the "players are affected by the Moyes situation" argument look even more absurd.

Or last week's makes it less absurd. Bottom line, if the manager isn't fully committed, it translates to the players sometimes. I suspect today's effort was more for the players themselves because they knew they had to make amends to the supporters; I don't think for one minute Moyes did anything to gee them up. Then again, after that debacle last week, he shouldn't have had to.
 
TBF I have hated all his performances so far, but today he was outstanding, looks back to his fitness & attitude levels Coleman was MOTM with Victor not far behind him too!

It was used as an excuse for the players terrible performance last week - but I saw no lack of commitment to the manager today.
 
Lay off Naismith, he really didn't do too much wrong.

Anyone giving him 1/10 for that performance needs to get over themselves. Pathetic.

This. He's on to a loser every time he plays. Admittedly he's not very good, but to **** him off before he's even on and messed things up? And then, after doing very little wrong apart from not being Mirallas to give him a 1/10? Amazing.
