because ferdinand always injury prone and vidic also injured
doesnt help. no consistency whatsoever as the CB always change
every week. against chelsea, it was brown and evans and today
against everton, it is vidic and brown.
well, do note, EDS was not around for a while too. and injury is
a major part/concern.
IMHO, defence is a team thingy, the whole team has to pitch in
and get their hands dirty. Not just the GK or defenders. Yes, it is
their primary jobs, but the MFs need to get in too.
Last season, we have the tevez who was harassing, then the MFs
and the defence all pitching in, thus pushing the whole team higher
on the field, hence teams struggle to break MU down. Also they fear
the pace of Ronaldo, Rooney, and the counters. This season, MU has
not fully get in gear with Valencia, Giggs, and their counter is
not as feared/fast. So teams are eager to push MU and hence we see
the ball coming more into MU halves and less clean sheets.
IMHO.
