Weekend Review - 5 Nov 2011

Manchester United vs Sunderland

Funny that you won 2 games against an European minnow, and you top the group unexpectedly. 2 games to go and we only need 2 points to qualify for the knockout rounds. To think that we draw the first 2 games. Our next game is against Benfica at home. If we win, we are through to the knockout round with 1 game to spare.

For the coming home game against second team for Man Utd Sunderland, it sounds like a friendly between 2 teams. Ex Red Devils against current Red Devils. Phillip Bardsley, Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Kieron Richardson and Frazier Campbell.

Sunderland have not shown their league form from last season as they finish 10th. Now they are hovering around the relegation zone. A case of taking longer to adapt?

Man Utd is giving 1.75 handicap. That's a bit high side from my point of view, considering that Man Utd could only manage 2 goals currently. At this point of campaign, points are more important than goal difference, as we are still 5 points behind Man City. Just get the 3 points.
