Evra: United were `too nice'

Patrice Evra feels Manchester United got exactly what they deserved at Arsenal - nothing. While Sir Alex Ferguson was bemoaning the failure of referee Chris Foy to award a penalty for Gael Clichy's late foul on Michael Owen, at the same time dismissing a blatant handball by Nemanja Vidic that could easily have led to the United skipper being sent off, Evra feels the blame lies rather closer to home. "We didn't play to the Manchester United way and when we don't play to the Manchester United way we don't deserve anything," said the France defender. "People think when we played against Schalke the game was easy. We made the game easy because we were ready for the battle and ready for the challenge. The game was easy because we played with more aggression and with power. "Maybe against Arsenal we think it is going to be easy but we didn't make the game easy."
