We are scoring and the strikers are starting to gel nicely together so there are no complaints. It did, however, take us a bit too long to break down this team and we look far from awesome at the moment. Perhaps that is an ungrateful assessment but we are European Champions and should have more of an aura about us than we currently do. The result from Anfield took the edge off an otherwise successful day but we can do no more than keep winning our matches.
Well, West Brom were surprisingly impressive, especially in the first half and if they continue to pass as smoothly as they did at OT then they will comfortably stay in the Premier League. United are firing blanks at the moment. Berbatov’s predatory instincts will be sorely needed during the season (but not so predatory that he scores from offside positions like he did twice against Celtic). Good that Rooney is coming into form because he is great when on form. Can’t understand leaving a workhorse like Tevez on the bench. As for Ronaldo – he looks miserable out there and I’m sure the spoiled brat is dreaming of Madrid. I see another Berbatov type situation developing there.
