Yes folks, it looks like it's official, Manchester United are a complete and utter load of crap this season. After scraping a 1 nil win at HOME against those heavy hitters from Birmingham, United have now been beaten in their first away game of the season by the mighty Burnley! Yes, you read that correctly, Burnley beat Manchester United.
Not only did Burnley win but they also probably deserved the victory. Man Utd were completely toothless. With the loss of Ronaldo and Tevez the United front line looks about as threatening as Minky, our 3 month old kitten. Even when the penalty chance cropped up the front players shyed away leaving that renowned finisher Michael Carrick to take it. How many goals has he scroed for United again, 5? It wasn't a bad penalty but it was by no means the penalty of a confident finisher, he looked like he was shitting himself before he even ran up. The thing is that Sir Alex has always based his Manchester United team around a core of world class players. By having 3 or 4 world stars has meant that the other players can get away with just being good. Now that United have lost their best player and others have aged to become bit part players they are left with one true world class superstar (Rooney) half a dozen good players and the rest mediocre at best. That's never going to be enough to win anything, I can promise you that. When Alan Hansen said "You don't win anything with kids" he was very wrong, when you've got the likes of Cantona, Bruce, Keane you can win with a bunch of one leggeds in your team. Unfortunatly the current Manchester United squad avec those superstars can't afford to carry the dead weight.
My prediction for Manchester United this season is that they'll win nothing, and to be fair it'll be exactly what they deserve to win playing like they are as well.Labels: Burnley, Crap, Manchester United |
