Burnley 1 United 0
Mickeys 2 United 0 Chelsea 1 United 0 Beskitas 1 United 0 Villa 1 United 0 Fulham 3 United 0 Leeds 1 United 0 The defence needs to be fit as soon as possible that is very true. If we could have put the ball in the net just once in 5 of those games though we wouldn't have lost. And if memory serves me right we had plenty of opportunities in all 5 of those 1-0 defeats. It wasn't the defence that lost us those games. I think it shows how threadbare we already are if we are including Diouf today. Hopefully he really is the new Ole and if he is it will prove to be a masterstroke on Fergies behalf again. The Glazers will also be even more grateful that he will have kept the shit away from their door a bit longer. At the moment we are great in some games but when the chips are down how confident are you of the team this season to pull back one goal never mind two. Tottenham, city to an extent and Moscow do spring to mind but to me when we really need it we seem to missing the spark or heart to get back into games that we have been spoilt with in the last 17/18 seasons. |

I don't think it shows we're threadbare by including Diouf. We could have a bench of Welbeck and Owen, there's no real need to include the lad unless Fergie thinks he has something to offer.
Lets face it, if this was an era that didnt include doubts over our finances and the Glazers, and Ferguson included a young lad called Diouf, after bigging him up in the press all week, you'd all be shitting yourselves with excitement over him, not slating him before he's even had a chance. |

Owen is shit. Welbeck needs confidence. Berbs really needs confidence (he'll get there though imo). Is Kiko still alive? At the moment I have confidence in one forward to put the ball in the net. FFS Fergie admits it himself that we would struggle without Rooney. So that leaves us threadbare. It no doubt would be a different view on things without the debt or Glazer. But the debts and Glazer are here. I would have a different view on paying the bills if I won the lottery, but sadly I haven't so the bills still need to take up the bulk of my money. |

The team selections at Anfield and Chelsea cost us the most and Burnley would have been a lot different if Carrick had scored that penalty. As you mention, it was the inablity to score that cost us them games. In some of them we had 3 strikers on the pitch and missed sitter after sitter, or seen shots hit the pots, be cleared off the line and keepers having the game of their lives (Friedel and Jensen to name but two). Its not always a case of pointing to the strikers, but to the movement around them. Valencia plays better with Rafael, as Rafael gets forward and takes a marker away from valencia. Berbatov plays better with attacking wingers and full backs, he holds the ball, draws in two defenders and gives the ball out wide, against leeds he never had that option till valencia came on, but the back up from Neville was never coming. I wasnt that confident last season that we would pull a goal or two back, but having Ronaldo always gave you a chance. The injuries we have had to our defence have been disasterous. Its gone from a situation where we have had 2 decent defenders for every position in defence, to having no defenders at all. I doubt any club would cope with that for and given the numbers out, it would be foolish to buy a back up, as it would just lead to an overburden when fit. (Given that strong rumours indicate that Vidic will go in the summer, despite him saying its rubbish. He only stayed this summer as Fergie wouldnt sell him and Ronaldo in the same year. Also strong rumours that Rodwell will arrive in the summer). We havent played what would be classed as a first X1 since Moscow in May 08. Theres nothing to loose with Diuf. You can compare to Ole as he came from the Norweigan league and looking at Ole's signing it was a gamble at the time. We also signed Ronny Johnson who was a superb signing. But if people are already asking for Ole like performances, then they are asking to much already. What we need to do, is get Macheda and Wellbeck out on loan to a Championship club for the rest of the season. Perhaps Fergie Jnr being at Preston might open that door. Currently, neither player is good enough for the first team and lacks experience. |

That'll be the firt thing we hear. He says there are no diamonds or players that'll make the difference, but that isn't likely to change in 6 months. I think we might just get a winger in the summer, and the hope internally will probably be that Kuszczak or For Foster replaces Van der sar. |
