Football thoughts

Woo .. the match at San-siro yesterday was very good and was particularly impressed by the performance of Ronaldo & Carrick. United played inter off the park for almost all the match barring a 15 minute spell after break from inter..

I am sure Mr Mourinho must be regretting the lost opportunity to get one up against his old foe in Ferguson and I am sure, even more than yesterday, that we will beat them at OT.

Ibramhimovic was supposed to be the best player in the world in the eyes of Mourinho, but was almost all time in the back pocket of rookie Evans. Ronaldo was obviously had a point to prove and had a fantastic match .. on any other day, he could have scored a hattrick.

Anyways, see them again in a fortnight at OT !

Let me be clear first that I am a Red Devils fan and do not want to make a fun of the recent run of form of United.

However, I have been left impressed with the resolute defending and passion of the players to hang on to the win while only a goal up against the opposition.

I am sure that luck can favour once, twice but not so many times in a row and this is more to do with the skills of our players, resolve and mentality of ‘not to lose’ the games. This is a significant improvement from the last year when we had conceded few easy goals in some matches and won the games only because we had scored more.

I am quite sure that we would come back in form to destroy few teams in next few matches. I think the ‘start’ has happened to our main scorers of last season and almost all important players have had a goals in recent past and are hopefully ready to kick in few more each week. 

I am enjoying the new found resolve in the team, but admit we must start scoring and get rid of 1-0 score line now. Who knows, it might come to the goal difference this year, as it was nearly there last year?
