The Devil In Me

Gosh Roy Keane has turned into such a nice chap recently.  His team is being beaten left right and centre and he doesn’t seem to have a bad word to say about anybody.  Just before kick off the teams lined up to give Ole a guard of honour whilst Clive Tyldesly’s “is this their moment” commentary blared out of the loudspeaker and he ended it with a handshake and a word with Roy.

Either somebody forgot to tell the United players that it was over and a football match had just started or Fergie has decided to patent a new 2-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1 formation to once again conquer Europe with a tactically audacious manouvre.  Genius.

Honestly they were awful, again, our team of midfield midgets spent the first forty five minutes sitting on each others knees and playing a million inch-perfect 3 inch passes to each other. I for one am of the opinion that we should be having a go at teams at Old Trafford and not treating the matches like Eriksson might have treated an England friendly.  If you are playing a team of midfielders without a striker then you’re giving the visiting team a chance.  It was not that long ago now that the chant 4-4-2 was heard in the Stretford End, I can see its ressurection before Christmas if things don’t begin to change.  

I retain my hopes, Hargreaves looks like he has always played for us and also doesn’t look unlike Robbo did when he was running around in our shirt and Saha, when he came on, was unmanageable, easily as good as a Torres when he is playing.  He looks like our saviour at the moment Louis, but I wonder, how long until he is injured again?
