On balance yes they do want it enough, but neither Ronnie nor Berbatov are true scrappers so we will have to rely on the aging legs of the likes of Giggs, and, when fit again, Paul "I got there as quick as I could" Scholes, Darren "bites your legs" Fletcher, Anderson and one or two members of the back four. If Hargreaves a bit more often I think we would see his scrapping qualities too. Oh and Tevez digs in a bit too. Oh, and Rooney. So yes we've got the fighters but for whatever reason they allowed Everton to grab the initiative on Saturday and they can't do that again if they want to overtake Hull before the New Year ...
