Looking at the fixtures, looks like Man U have got tougher games
to navigate - away to Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea and not
forgetting Fulham, Man City and Tottenham. Another noteworthy point
- they had not manage to beat Arsenal and Chelsea at home.
Comparatively, Chelsea has yet to visit Liverpool and Arsenal. But
they have defeated Liverpool at home, held Arsenal to a draw and
drew Man U away. So in terms of head to heads with the big teams,
Chelsea is still better than Man U.
Looking ahead, Man U may similarily slip at Tottenham (like
Chelsea) and Man City & Fulham are hoodoo teams. So add up,
Chelsea may still outlast Man U.
I think its a known fact that Man U lacked depth, and it has been
seen in previous times, without likes of Giggs, Ronaldo &
Rooney, Man U will be jaded. Chelsea can still bring on Robben
& Cole to change the game in midfield and they both can score.
Also SWP. Man U wise, only Scholes can score and he's like 30+
liaoz. I have no confidence in Fletcher or worse - Richardson. As
for Carrick, he is not going to score anytime soon.
So that leaves Man U having a tougher stretch ahead, and even if
they sign players come Jan, they still have to gel them
together....but being a Man U fan, I hope they could last the
stretch and come April against Chelsea, hopefully there is still a
gap of 3 - 6 points so much so that even losing to Chelsea will not
dent the title hopes. But if they are good enough, they should at
least draw.
