Berbatov cannot be alone up front, because every cross and pass
pisses/annoys him to hell, must have another striker up front with
him to support.
Scholes, getting older, no complaints, we all know what kind of
player he is when you put him in this situation.
The full force of the blame should just go to Carrick, again.
Apart from his one-off amazing passes (i.e. Chelsea game, to Giggs
then assisting Rooney goal) and really rare penetrating passes, he
is seriously getting worse at his overall game, already his style
is changed from getting forward, to staying back, holding the ball
and passing short. But now pass short also can fuck up, if that
also cannot then how. Every time he's on the field, and when he has
the ball, and when a player gets close to him, I always panic
because he loses it so easily, or makes a decision too late to pass
allowing others to nick it. (As seen today, again.)
How many times has he made a mistake, (All players do, but...)
and almost always ends up costing United a goal. Others make a
mistake, they go in and help defend etc. Everytime they lost the
ball today, people walking back, standing around. Maybe it's
because they're tired from previous games, but come on, at least
show some drive or some form of, you know, determination to
actually want to win this.
Also dunno what the fuck they thinking when they keep
backpeddling to the centrebacks and VDS, giving City the
opportunity to press hard. Maybe it's a counterattacking tactic,
but the balls forward have been depressing. I wish they actually
played the way they did against Chelsea, forwards, more crosses in,
rather than everytime they do actually get forward, they pass it
back and then lose it in their half.
TLDR: Sell Carrick. Sell Berbatov. (Apart from
his 'amazing' season, and amazing footwork, he never seems to work
well/settle, could prolly be just me, but it's fucking annoying and
depressing to see someone so negative on the field, frustrated at
almost every single pass that doesn't go his way.)
Never have I been so frustrated at a loss. Want to lose at least
lose knowing that they did everything they could, and actually
fought with a fucking speck of determination, and eagerness to
progress. How can you win against them almost every time and lose
to them in a semi-final? Really shows which side is more
determined. And this was a fucking semi-final, not another BPL
game, or some stage of some cup they can't be bothered with.
