Midweek Review - 7 Dec 2011

Basle vs Manchester United


Can anyone stop Man City? We are still 5 points behind them despite winning Aston Villa and they won against Norwich City.

Since buying Ashley Young, David De Gea and Phil Jones, Fergie relegated Antonio Valencia and Berbatov to bench warmers. Arent they are the ones that help to win the Premiership last season with the most assists and top joint scorer respectively? Why change a winning team if Wayne Rooney is not firing cylinders and Phil Jones is a defender by nature? I could understand if Ashley Young is behind the 2 strikers with Nani and Antonio Valencia attacking down the flanks. Right from the first game of the season till now, Fergie have field different players in the midfield department, but just not the above scenerio.

Midweek game against Basle will be a do or die, with a win needed to qualify. The worst case will be a draw and still qualify. Somehow, Man Utd just want to make things difficult for themselves for every single season of the Champions League.

Man Utd is giving 1 ball handicap. For some reason I have this feeling that Man Utd will end the game with a draw and qualify for the knockout rounds. Dont even think of punting for this game.
