In the aftermath of our defeat

Filed under: Manchester United Football Club, Manchester United Players

In the aftermath of our defeat yesterday against the Bhoys, Fergie has admitted he’s still in shock. And rightly so, it was a game that we really should have won or atleast drawn, not only on the cards but more on the performance. United had done extremely well to cope with the hostile atmosphere at Parkhead and produced a quality of football that left the home side back-peddling.

But we just love to do it the hard way, don’t we?! It’s a do-or-die situation now in the last group game against Benfica, again! and although I don’t think we’ll lose that one since we’re too good for anyone at home … but the problem lies in our failure to produce anything in the third part of the field despite dominating for large parts of the game. It sure is a worrying sign, the sort which maybe exposes the lack of another fit striker perhaps. But I wouldn’t dwell on that too much, since Saha would have scored that one on another day. The same goes for the chance that he did not take, when he was declared to be onside when he thought he was off.

And lastly, I’d like to shut Mr. Strachan’s trap up when he says the Premier League isn’t what it’s made out to be. It’s still a hundred times better than their mini league , a league devoid of anything remotely resembling competitive football where you lose only to Rangers or Hearts, fascinating Gordon boy! We all know how well you did with managing sides in the Premiership, don’t we ?!
