Weekend Review (6 Dec 2008)

Manchester United vs Sunderland

"In the first place, why buy Berbatov?"

-Gary, 5 Dec 2008

With 4 teams left in the Carling Cup, there is a chance of a final between Tottenham and Man Utd.

I think the 4 goals demoilition by Tevez will make Fergie sit up and notice. In the first place, why buy Berbatov?

At the start of last season, critics say that Rooney and Tevez cannot play together because of same size and similiarilities in style. But when both of them play togther, they had telepathy understanding on the pitch, just like Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke in the 90s.

With Man Utd's first team have the same days of rest as Sunderland players, i think we are on an even playing field. I was surprised to see Paul Scholes back from injury and was given some playing time to get match fitness.

Sunderland is also another disappointing team. After managed to stay in the top flight last season, they are now in another relegation fight with Blackburn, West Brom, Newcastle, Tottenham and Manchester City. Last match against Bolton, the defence was horrendous. Time to buck up before the festive fixtures, if not, im forseeing another manager been sack in the new year. This was before Keane resigns, tsk. So Keane's track records is not that marvellous, prehaps he should try his hands in the lower league.

Man Utd Team News: Owen Hargreaves and Wes Brown are still out.

Sunderland Team News: George McCartney, David Connolly and Darren Ward are out.

Odds and Analysis: Man Utd give 2 ball handicap at 1.15. There are chances Man Utd might just score 2 goals. I will forgo it. No manager now, take Man Utd for the win.
