Manchester United Heartbreak

It's been a long time i have not been blogging. Maybe been really busy or been full of worries and pressure of work or just being a person or in short plain lazy. But after Manchester United(MU) horror show over the weekend me being a vivid Manchester United fan just have to state my views bout it. I didn't watch the match so maybe i might not be able to state any views correctly. Well lets get to it.

It's the most anticipated match for a while which for the past week was a very important week that will maybe define the season MU gonna have. Winning against Inter gave the team a mental boast. Not much of beating Inter, but a win against Mourinho.  But there are signs of a crack in the well oil machine. Inter hit the post a few times and MU didnt defend really well. 

So playing Liverpool over the weekend was not deem a must win gave but a game that will define how the season will turn out. If mu wins this the EPL title will surely be half way to Old Trafford. Well when the match is approaching i have a bad feeling that liverpool will do a double over mu this season. As i have said i didnt watch the game so im not going to do a minute by minute report. This is just what i think and feel bout the match and both teams. 

I wont be too impress with this liverpool team. To me the most vital player in the liverpool team is Javier Mascherano. Well maybe aot of you will disagree. Torres was vital, Gerrard was great....but to me the vital cog is mascherano. Without him the gerrards the torres wont have any space to cause any damage. Mascherano just close down any space and made vital tackles thats what he does best.

MU was dominating in the early minutes but than let liverpool get a grip of the game. In this part i feel mu wasnt really up to the contest. From then on MU have oredi lost it metally. Just look at poor Vidic who have been really brilliant the whole season. I feel benitez was briliant in his tactics. Torres taking on vidic was a brilliant tactics. Vidic wasnt the fastest of strikers and maybe there are some weaknest. As can be seen, vidic was in two minds when torres stole in and score. From there on vidic is a gonner, he has lost the battle. 

I havnt seen mu players being so weak mentally i seems that fergie wasnt interested in the competition. After liverpool's equalizer i really dont see where is mu next goal gonna come from. MU have any real goal scorer?....Any midfield enforcer?...Berbatov,tevez,rooney?....fletcher?....I dont fault their effords and quality, they are world class and great players but are they really able to control the game or score the goals needed to win this games?. The team is really crying out a mascherano or a torres.

After vidic's red card thats the end of mu's challenge. Is there any fight in them?...What all the talk bout the great team mu is having tis season. Yes they have tremendous strenght in dept more so over their rivals. But do mu really have the best quality to prove a difference in this big games. Mu never really wins all this big games but end up being champions. While is really great to have the last laught but sometimes is also great to have a shout at our rivals, getting one over them. Woundnt it be great?....

Well all hope is not lost, mu still have a game in hand and 4 points lead with only arsenal as one of the so call big four to play against. Also counting that ur rivals still have to play each other thats a real boast that the epl title is ours to lose. But whats more worrying is that how mu is gonna react to this horror show?... 

I still belive mu will win the epl and the FA Cup....but the champions league is anyones guess. Lets hope mu pick up the pieces and start the assault again. After a great run this kind of results will come by as expected. How mu reacts to it is really the hallmarks of champions.
