We all know the result and I know that nobody can believe that we have scored just 2 points from our first three games. Our worst start since the 1992 season but don’t forget we won that season. How can fans be criticising Man United so early in the season. The season has just begun and it starts with 114 points up for grabs. United have dropped 9 points in total which leaves 107. I’m not saying that we will get 107 points but here is a quick reminder, last year we dropped 25 points in total. I’ve been listening to the BBC 606 podcast and have heard United supporters say “United have thrown away the league” and that makes my stomach churn to hear them speaking like that.
Having said that I do believe that SAF has to really think deeply about what he is going to do. We have dominated the midfield in first games and we are not putting the ball into the back of the net. No Rooney, Saha and Solsjaer. Yes Tevez is world class but it has become very clear now that he needs more game time to get fit and he needs support up front. Should SAF splash on a striker? Would the glazers allow this? Will it be a waste of money? I don’t know the answer to these questions but I do have faith in SAF and believe that the team will come right sooner than later.
On Thursday 606’s Tim Lovejoy said that he believes that the `Big 4` will drop more points in this season than any other that has passed and I agree with him after watching the first 3 game weeks. A lot of money has been put into the FAPL and the mid table teams are getting better at closing down individual players e.g. Carlos Tevez. Every time he got the ball three City Players closed him down and removed him from the game. Mid table teams have started off the season well and with players they have brought in they are better capable of getting that crucial draw with the top teams.

Agreed. Besides how well we actually played, the other huge positive was that Hargreaves looks exacly the kind of player we have been missing. Even semi fit he was fantastic
I am the utmost respect for SAF, but questions arise over the selling of Smudge and Rossi and not replacing them. Tevez is a very similar player to Rooney and will do very well at United but if you recall last season he played alongside Zamora, I think that he needs a player to play with up front. I think that Anelka would be great for United considering that he said that he is considering leaving Bolton.
Who would you play upfront then? The fee for Tevez is sitting on about 25 million on completion of the whole buy out after the loan period. I don’t think SAF would pay that money if he didn’t have a plan to play Rooney and Tevez upfront together. It’s unfortunate that Rooney got injured so soon. I think that we have a great team capable of winning the treble.
