Personally, I don't really agree that we are on a bad start, Its
not the best but its not really bad either... I feel that United's
start to the season is satisfactory... Why because they have a
number of injuries and some bad luck.
Ronaldo was out all along and is just about to come back in
only. He isn't fully match fit yet... Then there is
Carrick, out for so long then came back and got injured again
for another 6 weeks... very unfortunate... even Rooney who was a
doubt in their first match against Newcastle but have slowly come
back. I feel that had they played Newcastle now rather than in the
first match of the season when Keegan was still around, they would
have won that match too... Cos currently Newcastle are in
shambles.
Thats where they were a bit unlucky with the fixture and also
denied some penalty decisions... And while the other big sides had
lesser team early in the season, they have Pool and Chelsea away
already... But I feel one good thing that we can consider is...
They have got these difficult away fixtures out of the way already
and what will come will be the less difficult ones and those big
sides having to come to OT later in the season.
United are currently not in the best of form no doubt... But I
honestly belief things isn't really that bad... They started out
the season without Park, Nani, Ronaldo, Carrick, Hargreaves,
Teves, Berbatov and maybe even Anderson right... So being 6 points
behind with having gone to the difficult away grounds and
still have a game in hand, I would feel its still very good
cos apart from Carrick, most of their players are back now and
Berba only started training with the squad from the 12 of Sep,
thats about 10 days ago only... He didn't had a pre-season
with them so its understandable but the goals against Pool and
Chelsea came from his effort and I belief he will get better when
he has played more and get use to his new team mates...
The very least we can take out of last night's match is... At
least they have got 1 point more than they did last season and they
taken 2 off Chelsea too at the same time... So there is still all
to play for, no need to despair...
Yup. Fixtures play a part. That's what I mean too. Liverpool
took 3 points off us at Anfield, but dropped a most
likely 3 points against Stoke.
