Winning the league 4 times in a row is unheard of and we only lost out by 1 point when Chelsea had played better than us throughout the season.

Unregistered Chicarito has had a great first season so far. Its a pity that he doesnt get more minutes.
Also thought you’ve been a bit stingy with Carrick who has become an automatic starter again and unlike Anderson can play a full 90 minutes.

Unregistered Nope Chelsea were the better side for most of the season and probably deserved to win the league.
They just kept on getting better results than us, nothing to do with bottling it. Sometimes quality just wins out.
This season is a bit different with no stand out side. In those type of scenarios those with the experience tend to succeed.
Not superior – just better!

We really do need to start digging our heels in now. We've had a really easy first half to the season. And i for one feel that we will regret those draws that should have been wins, (Everton, Fulham, Birmingham). We are playing miserably and look to have little direction or guidance during most games, particularly when sides start getting amongst us. I reckon we will lose 4 or 5 games in the remainder of the season, especially as we have yet to go to Liverpool, Chelsea, Arsenal, ,West Ham, Tottenham and Man City at home.
The way we've been playing i can only see us getting possibly 6 points max from the away fixtures. We'd have to see a vast improvement in form to get any more than that.
We've been asking for a good shoeing all season and i think we're going to get one any time soon. Its how we handle it that will define the rest of the season.

Unregistered Hernandez should get more playing time. Do you think Fergie should try and sign Beckham or Kaka or Ronanldinho on a a five month loan just to do a job? I see Rednapp is trying to get Beckham and Blackburn is offering Ronaldinho 130,000 pounds a week. Blackburn have those new rich Indian owners. United have so many away games this half of the season, seems Fergie should be trying to strengthen the squad, even if he goes for players on loan.
The midfield is a big worry at the moment, something needs to be done.Posted 2 years ago # -

Unregistered We could do with an upgrade in midfield, but Fergie will go with Anderson, Fletcher, Carrick and Scholes to do most of the work in the run in. Gibson an occasional contributor.
On the wings Valencia will be like a new signing in when he’s back around February time. If SAF thinks he can get through Jan with Giggs, Nani, Obertan and Bebe then Cleverley won’t be recalled as Valencia and Park will provide reinforcements once we get into Feb.

Unregistered Well this team will have to dig deep if they are to win the title. A smart move then would be to bring in Ravel Morrison from the reserve team. Although he is young, he is of world class quality and at only 18 years old, he has the tools to compete in the Premier league. You can leave Cleverley at Wigan, but Morrison is a gem!

Your right Herb. Its definitely our shallowest and bollockless midfield we've had for many a year. Which is accentuated to the max when our old timer Scholsey is in there. He makes the likes of Carrick and Fletcher and Anderson look like ale house plodders.
The problem lies at a stobborn Fergies door. He paid way over the odds for Anderson who was very young and inexperienced, he paid way over the odds for Carrick whom nobody else wanted, and he's trawled Fletcher out at practically every opportunity to try and make amends for spending far too much on dross and hopefully hit on someone that just might be a diamond that cost nothing. Therefore he's got himself in an almighty rut, cozz these are the players he brought in and won't be seen to admit he's got it wrong.
Fergie proper shat himself over the Keano saga, which is part of the reason why we have been rudderless ever since he left. His insistance that he will not be questioned in any matter regarding team selection and tactics has had nothing but an adverse effect on the club as a whole. Of course he knows what the problems are and where they are, he'll see it everyday in training as we see it on match days, but point blankly refuses to do anything about it. Carrick, Park, Anderson, and Fletcher are clearly not good enough. The fans know it, the media knows it, but more worryingly, they keep getting games. No matter what this season turns up for us, the midfield needs off loading with immediate effect, and some cash invested in tried and tested proven quality.
God knows we've fuckin waited long enough for it.

Valencia won't be much use till next year... if at all.
His leg might be heeled... but then he'll need a month or so to get match fit, and even more time to get back his nerve.
He wouldn't be the first player to never come back to his pre-injury self, after such an injury.

Unregistered Saw Cleverley at Wigan on Sunday. Martinez ia playing him out wide. Seems to me that he has not got the pace or strength to be a top class winger or an outlet player. He reminds me of a pale copy of the younger Beckham. So it seems very unlikely that he will be recalled to play centre midfield, the area we need quality. I wonder what would be the chances to get Kaka on loan for the rest of the season; no probs with Europe? Now that would be a great piece of business, but cannot see it happening.

Unregistered Of the reserves Eikrem and Morrison are two who could push first team in coming years, but both need a loan spell. Eikrem is from Molde so the smart money would see OGS take his ex reserve captain to his hometown on loan in the near future. Morrison could go out to a Greater Manchester L1 or Championship side.

Unregistered Kaka is available to go out on loan with an option to buy. Earlier news reports stated that Fergie and Mourinho were in talks to bring Kaka to United on loan but I have not heard or read anything else since. All that has surfaced now is that Chelsea, Arsenal and AC Milan are also intersted but United were the front runners. Would have to wait and see on this one, but knowing Fergie, he will stick with what he’s got. Still feel though that Morrison could be put on the subs bench and get some playing time coming on as a late sub. Can’t be any worse than whats happening now with the midfield.

Unregistered Morrison is going to be a good player, he is our 7th choice winger I’d say so unlikely to get much play time this season.
The same goes for Eikrem. A good player but is behind 6/7 in the pecking order.

Unregistered World Class? – the guy’s first team career consists of 5 minutes in the CC. It’s exactly this kind of ridiculous hype (from under 15s who believe football manager games are real life) that kills young players.

Hard to believe, but after beating Stoke we are now pretty close to standard champions level points-wise. We have 44 points after 20 games; in the past three seasons the eventual champions had 45 (us 07-08), 44 (us 08-09), and 45 (chelsea 09-10) points. So we are at the low end of champions-level performance by recent standards.
