Just writing a short one here as i'm knackered and don't want to be sat on the pc for that long really. I thought i'd knock up some of the reason i think we've been doing badly and wondered if anyone agreed or disagreed with us.
- The decline in performance and standard of the older players in the squad. Scholes, Giggs, Neville and VDS performances have dropped but they haven't been dropped from the team.
- Ronaldo being injured.
- Carlos leaving.
- Rooney being played out of position - i'd put him in the hole and frankly build the team around him.
- Ferguson perhaps unsure who to pick. Nani or Park, Anderson or Scholes, Fletcher or Giggs. Whatever the situatoin I feel Ferguson has been making poor selections because we have too many players of similar standard.
- Waiting until the 11th hour to make our signing (Berbatov).
That's all i've got at the moment. I don't think the start has been awful, losing away at Anfield is hardly a crime and four points from two games is not that bad if you exclude the loss to Liverpool.
But considering our poor end to last season and the poor start to this season it's been a few months since we played really well. For me I haven't seen a good performance for a long time now. We've been playing at an average level since when we played Blackburn last season which if you cast your mind back was quite some time ago.
I am starting to feel worried and with Chelsea ahead, we really need a performance soon. I've got a feeling we might get thumped at the bridge, we'll see.
Maybe i'm being pessimistic? I'm sure some of you feel the same as me though.
