Switch to turbo

March 05, 2008 By: robert8209 Category: Football, Manchester United, Premier League 7 Comments →

Now that we are qualified into the next stage of the Champions league, we have to turn our attention to the Premier league.

We are still one point behind Arsenal, which seems to be having a great season so far..

United fights on three battle fields at the moment: Premier league, FA Cup, and Champions League.

Of course we will be happy with the FA Cup trophy here at Old Trafford, but, and I think I’m speaking for a large number of fans when I say this, we have to focus on the Premier legaue the most and on the Champions league.

The game against Portsmouth on Saturday will probably be a good opportunitty to rest some regulars, as the season was difficult so far, and it’s nowhere near it’s end.

We will have to switch to turbo in the premiership and get all points available until we will host Arsenal in the middle of April.

Arsenal has a young team, they play with a lot of enthusiasm, but you can’t compare them with us when we are talking about experience.

I think experience will play a major role in helping us top the league.

Closer and closer to Moscow

Last night, Cristiano Ronaldo scored his 30th goal of the season, and Manchester is in the quarters of the Champions League.

Inspite of that, United didn’t provide some great football, but we got to understand that nice football can’t be played if the opponent doesn’t allow that.

The game was mostly played at the centre of the field.  We can’t say that it was a spectacular game, with many opportunities for both sides.  Infact, and I don’t want to upset anyone, there probably were a couple of balls that went out of the stadium and broke some windows…Of course I’m exaggerating a bit, now let’s be serious again.

The fact is that United played a smart game, and the word that could characterize them the best would be: pragmatism.

All the players had this attribute, but maybe Fletcher had it the most, and Ferguson knew that.  That’s probably why Scholes was left on the bench.

Also, Carrick is becoming more and more indispensable to the team.

Everyone would have been a lot happier with 2 or 3-0, but a win is a win, and we got a place reserved in the quarter finals of the most important club competition in the world.

Manchester is now just two opponents away from the final which will take place in Moscow.

Manchester used this team:
Van der Sar, Brown, Ferdinand, Vidic, Evra, Fletcher, Carrick, Anderson (Tevez 70), Ronaldo (Hargreaves 90), Rooney, Nani.
