I guess you could say the United players didn't look strong
enough... In a way, they look rather weary, especially the
backline... All of them have been playing non-stop recently as
Fergie normally rest the midfielders and strikers only.
And while they were playing in the Carling cup and FA cup, Pool
players were resting. They have been playing a match almost every 3
to 4 days for sometime already and I guess it took its toll
yesterday.
Another thing was, they just played Inter and it ended on Thur
morning only... In a way they only had 2 and a half days of rest
and preparation... It would have been better if the match was
today as this would give them 3 days... So i guess we have to
take that into consideration too cos its weird to see the back 4
all making mistakes... It wasn't just Vidic alone, all of them did,
even the goalkeeper...
Anyway, we will only know what this result will mean in May...
Will is cause United to lose the title or will it make no
difference its still anybody's guess... But one thing i belief
will come out of this from the United side is, it will serve them
well for their next meeting against Pool... The hurt could be just
what is needed when they next meet them... possibility in the
CL. It is better to happen now than to happen in the first leg
of a CL match cos if last night was a CL game, then they won't even
need a 2nd leg after letting in 4 away goals...
For Pool, I think it would be a shame if after beating Chelsea
and United their 2 main rival for the EPL title home and away,
still end up not winning the title... weird...
