If I had any optimism for United to win the title after last match, it all but evaporated after this one.
Yes, we still have 3 points in hand--but that can change as we have to go to Stamford Bridge; yes, we have a massive goal difference advantage--but do you really want to count on that to win the trophy? No, at least for me.
In the last five minutes, Teves scored a precious goal, which may save United another league championship. However, some familiar scences kept rolling in front of my eyes, making me rather confused. I found a question was constantly banging my head: which team am I watching, United or Arsenal? That's not the United that I konw: collision in the backline, loose pass in the midfield, cursing bad refereeing, desperate to get an equaliser and especially, indecisiveness. Where is that United, who, although not getting the lion's share possession, play efficient, flowing, and decisive games?
I don't want to blame the players, because they all tried their utmost--look at Rooney, although his perfomance is below par. But I can't refrain from having a word or two on Fergie. Where is Pique? Where is Anderson? Where is Hargreaves? With Vidic just recovering from an injury, can't you just trust Pique once and give him a chance? The other two, you have to reserve them for the visit to Camp Nou? No, please, do you yourself believe it? Why not look at what happened when Anderson was on in the last weekend? And Rooney. He has already got a nasty knock, why not replace him earlier?
Yes, no one doubts the exceptional blocks from Friedl. He is phenomenal! If only for once, he could slip! Yes, the referee missed at least one undisputed penalty. So what? Are you going to emulate the whining Wenger, complaining everything but himself? Come on! Grow Up! The important thing is We Lost Two Points!
Perhaps the title really has to be fought out on Chelsea's turf. Until next week, reflect on what should have been...
