Birmingham 0 - 1 United
All of the guff about United’s ‘Harlem Globetrotters’ eleven before the start of the season seems like a distant memory now. I am loathe to complain while the team is winning but in all honesty the best football played yesterday was by Birmingham.
United’s players didn’t seem to have the same level of hunger as theirs did and it told as our players were closed down quickly and effectively every time we ventured into the Birmingham half. They also thoroughly deserved a goal which were it not for a Beckenbauer like performance from Ferdinand would surely have come.
Again I am loathe to criticise an eighteen year old lad who has only been in the country for five minutes but the suspicion is beginning to grow in my mind that Anderson may well be Kleberson in disguise. When will we ever learn.
Points are points and again you can’t complain too much if they are getting results but I wonder if a decent team who are truly up for it might show us up a bit on current form. And I suppose the wounded beast that is Roma will be looking to do just that on tuesday.
Every single finger is crossed that these players start to find a bit of form, and now.
