HATCHET MAN: Awards snub Serbs him right! Vidic has been shown up too many times
There are many people who seem to think that Nemanja Vidic has been unlucky this season not to win either of the main player of the year awards. [LNB]But the way the Manchester United defender was out-muscled by Hugo Rodallega for Wigan's goal at the JJB Stadium on Wednesday shows why he wasn't recognised. [LNB][LNB][LNB] Grounded: Vidic is left stranded as Rodallega celebrates his opener[LNB]Vidic was second best and for an hour of the game it looked like it could be very costly for his team.

HATCHET MAN: Rafa will rue the day he lets Alonso leave Liverpool14/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Ronaldo is the Real deal but Valencia isn't in the same class14/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Ireland's raking in funny money but compared to the rest of the Man City slickers - he's worth it14/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Ancelotti might be a fan but Adebayor couldn't cut it at Chelsea14/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Fans may welcome Alves's absence but Brazilian's injury could hit Boro hard13/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Sorry United, but Gerrard really is the outstanding player of the season13/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Downing over Silva? In Rafa's world of duds, that is believable13/05/09 HATCHET MAN: Arsenal exit beckons for Toure as case for the defence collapses13/05/09 VIEW FULL ARCHIVE He was beaten by a striker who had only scored one goal in 12 appearances before facing the Serbia hardman and he reacted petulantly too, moaning to referee Rob Styles and trying to blame an imaginary foul. [LNB]Then he looked like he exacted revenge by appearing to throw an elbow into Rodallega's throat and he has lashed out before, with his red card in the final of the Club World Cup springing to mind. [LNB]But it is not the first time Vidic has been found out from a long ball against a big striker.[LNB] He was made to look a fool by Fernando Torres when United were thrashed by Liverpool at Old Trafford in March and if he is as good as some people say he should be able to handle the basics of high balls and power.
