Man Utd is my favourite football team. However, their performance in the new season disappointed me, and yesterday's match against Arsenal was the "epitome".
To me, the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo was not the most concerning problem; instead, Carlos Tevez's transfer to Man City created a greater alert. In the aspect of creativity, Dimitar Berbatov could get the job done beautifully. However, once Tevez left, the fighting spirit of Red Devil could barely be maintained by Wayne Rooney alone, which the intensity is suspicious, especially while fighting against those big teams.
The 1-0 loss to Burnley was simply unacceptable. However, Red Devil's victory against the Gunners made me even sicker. The 2-1 win was of sheer luck, which Man Utd scored from 2 silly defence errors by Arsenal. From the start, Sir Alex Ferguson arranged a 4-5-1 format, with Berba left in the bench. I think the decision was nothing less than cowardice. With the home court advantage, and the absence of Cesc Fabregas, the best play maker in my opinion, how come the defending champion could be in such an ugly defensive form.
This unworthy triumph gave me a sinister feeling, that Sir Alex Ferguson would be of the illusion that their team was in form. If such kind of mentality goes on, I bet Man Utd could be out of reach of any trophy this season.
Luck is enough?!
