WE DREAMT OF A TREBLE!!! UNFORTUNATELY THE DREAM WAS SHATTERED…. THEN WE STARTED CONSIDERNG DOUBLE….. WASN’T REALLY IMPOSSIBLE WITH THE FORM & TEAM WE HAVE…. BUT WHAT HAPPENED??? WHAT WENT WRONG???
Hey Everyone….
This one was supposed to come last night…. But I just could not gather the enthusiasm to write after the Worst display of the season by the Red Devils on such an important occasion….
And I don’t see a really convincing reason but a Wrong Team selection (The starting XI was surprising but still looked fine… substitutions were even more surprising)…
It was surprising to see RVP on the bench Wazza not even making the bench
(later it understood that he is injured)…
I felt the best player we had was DDG & no one else really impressed me….
Obviously playing 2 games in 48 Hours wasn’t gonna be easy…
But both teams had to do so rather Chelsea FC faced a defeat in the earlier one…
So we cannot complain about that….
Lets have a look at the starting XI
De Gea, Jones, Smalling, Ferdinand, Evra, Valencia, Carrick, Cleverley (van Persie 61), Nani (Giggs 65), Hernandez, Welbeck (Young 80).
Outta which DDG, Carrick, Valncia, Smalling played earlier game for complete 97 minutes…
But with rafael being unavailable smalling or valencia were sure to play…
It was good to see Jones coming back…
I expected Young & Nani on wings as valencia isn’t really having good time on field the whole season so far… And I feel he has been really given enough chances so far…
So I didn’t expect him to play…
DDG & Carrick have been consistently performing good this season & Them making the playing XI was certain….
I expected to see evans though…(Is he injured?)
Young had a fine game against sunderland… so i expected him to start alongside Nani…
And most importantly I was shocked not to see RVP & Wazza both….
Though I trust Sir Alex Ferguson in every decision he makes…
But keeping the best pair out was a mistake…
We have seen what happens when we did this earlier this season…
Rather I feel Both of
them playing together is what we needed in the game that was gonna decide the future of the “Double Dream”…
I had a feeling of Chicharito playing this one ’cause of his record against Chelsea…
Still the team looked young & talented enough to beat CFC…
Lets look at what happened in the game…
In the First half I didn’t see any intense game… both team played careful game…
Within 4 minutes of the second half, CFC scored an really good one…
Ba scored an amazing goal throgh mata’s wonderful assist….
Still the game wasn’t over….
MUFC got their chance in some time But Cech made great save on CH14’s header…
Even chicharito couldn’t resist appretiating it….
RVP coming on was a boost to our hopes…
Even he had his chance…. But in Vein…
Other than this it was really a poor game….
It actually highlighted some of the problems we gotta work on……
- We lost to Real it was a bad second half. We drew to Chelsea at home it was same. Sunderland game was no different story. Our game has not really been good in second halves… No Matter if we are leading or losing at halftime. I find it something to work on.
In the earlier season situation was bit opposite… We were winning on the late goals…
Making us the “Comeback Kings”… No matter if we are 2 goals down we still had a strong faith that we will win…
But yesterday looking at our play i didn’t feel so in dying minutes!!!
- Can we have some good winger in summer???
Wingers have been our strength for all these years… Current game on the wing isn’t same
I know we have Nani, Young, AntoV, Giggs…. Who on their day can make any defence look shit…
Nani is either having some issue or poor form… but he isn’t the himself right now…
Young wasn’t mostly available this season….
Giggs cannot play all the time due to age now….
And frankly AV25 was way better than AV7…
Valencia got enough chances this season… But wasn’t as impressive as last season….
Can we rest him for a while???
- We need to play rooney and RVP together As often as possible… No options…
- We need to stop experimenting this often (with player’s positions & playing XI).
PS :-
In this article I have actually pointed out problems in our current TEAM & ITS form…. The things I feel went wrong or are going wrong recently… In anyway it doesn’t mean I am doubting the team or Management…. But can’t just Blindly accept everything…. Right???
I am United till I die…. 🙂
