this time last season (11 games) we had 26pts and were just about to play our first away game against the big 4
we have now played all 3 of the big 4 aways, have 21pts, we've had Scholes out for most of the season, Hargreaves ditto, Carrick only just back, Ronaldo getting back from the first serious injury of his career, and Berbatov bedding into the attack, an attack which has often been spectacular btw it's no fun seeing the problems with form and fitness we're having at the back true enough. but by the same token it's not a great surprise that the defence isn't always getting the midfield protection (and respite) it needs. you can't always get away with a scrambling defence, especially when the entire league is charged with stopping 3-in-a-row and taking the scalp of the Champions of Europe. |

There are few times I'm less than enamoured with Utd but we certainly seem to follow major success with a little period of hubris. It's the only occasion when you can see the ABUs point. I can't believe that after the noted issue with players following on from the treble season with less hunger than before that we've hit the same wall this year. I would say VDS, Anderson, Ronaldo are noticeably not at the same level they were last season. |

What worries me is that I think the issue could be hunger. Yes the squad is young and we certainly have enough 'winners' in our squad to be near unstoppable on every game we set out to win but what other explanation is there?
Are we too lightweight away from home playing 4-4-2? Are the majority of the team satisified with last seasons glory and not really up for pushing on and doing it all again? somethings definately up. |

keep the faith mc
we have created so many chances over the past 2 'tests' and should have won at celtic and got a point yesterday at the very least. i still love watching us play but all in we play some of the most exciting football in europe. we are the champions of england and europe. |

why does it always have to be so polemic ffs
we're champions of England and champions of Europe we are THE biggest scalp in world football right now and every team we play is going to want to do us more than anything else there is a very good reason why so many brilliant teams have not managed 3-in-a-row or defended the European Cup - it gets more and more difficult to keep winning look at United in 2001; look at the last month of that season - an absolute £#%&!ing nightmare for the most part. 7 years later and there are now 3 other teams good enough to win the league, compared to back then only one - at best. strangely this could actually end up helping United, assuming they all take points off each other and we don't lose any of the return fixtures. whatever, this is going to the wire and i hope and expect United to smack bang in the mix come spring. if that means both competitions then it's going to be another fantastic emotion-charged season |
