Fergie hoping for a Brucie Bonus
Back to the league after a less than super game in the League Cup. To be honest, I couldn’t care less. I doubt any fan at the end of the season will be thinking about Wednesday nights game. If we win the league or European Cup then who will care about the League Cup and if we don’t, we’ll be worrying more about not winning the league. There may be long term issues involving the ability of the youth players we have, but in all honesty, the team that lost to Coventry will not represent the United 1st team of the future. For a start, players like Ronaldo and Rooney are still very young; and no doubt there will be future signings. Perhaps I’d be worried about the performance of Anderson and maybe Pique but if the whole team does not perform, you have to isolate individual performances and not draw too much conclusion from them.
Anyway, the forthcoming league match against Birmingham will be a hard game. Ignore the fact that they’ve just come up and see how they got a draw against Liverpool. We haven’t done so well in attacking and breaking down stubborn teams yet this season. I hoped that the game against Chelsea would help kick start the season; but due to the early sending off and the off field actions it was far too easy.
Birmingham have kept a clean sheet in their last two games and United in their last 5. This has got 0-0 written all over it, so I’m hoping for a bit of magic from one of our stars this time. Last week, it was Giggs with an excellent cross. If we get an early goal, it may even open the floodgates.
