Post-Chelsea Rant and Thoughts…

Filed under: Manchester United Football Club, Manchester United Players

Yesterday was a really big day for us all, in terms of getting a fair amount of head-to-head stats on both United and Chelski, the only two sides capable of being Champions this year with Arsenal all but out now. First of all, how well did Saha take his goal?! Quite a brilliant finish from him, a left-foot shot curled across Carvalho and perfectly in the left corner! sublime! He didn’t waste much time getting over his dreadful miss in mid-week, did he?! Hats off to him for that and I sincerely hope he is fit and raring to go, although he did leave the field clutching his hamstring.

For all our early pressure, we failed to convert and although Saha did quite fantastic to hand us the lead, we has other chances to score which we sadly did not take. Their goal could be seen coming as soon as Webb blew for the second half to be honest and a point they did take and a point they did make at OT yesterday. Our lack of cover in the striking department is clearly exposed, with no one to take Saha’s place if he’s injured we need to call Rossi back! or better get Fernando Torres in! (highly unlikely though).

Although Howard Webb did ok yesterday, he did however allow one or two clattering tackles by the blue men to go unpunished although he still booked that diver Drogba, who did his best to take Vidic’s head off with that elbow of his! All in all a satisfying afternoon for the men in red but the time to strengthen is now Fergie! Hope you have some names shortlisted because we need cover bad because I have a feeling that Chelski will be breathing down our necks all the way to the end!
