Oh dear.
If Nani was being judged on that game alone and we were in a different time, he’d be taken down to the old pond round the back and drowned; Fergie would count himself lucky not to be following him. The players were awful, but Fergie’s team selection and the way he set us up was embarrassing and ultimately the reason for how bad we were. I’ve been applauding the teams Fergie’s been putting out this season, but that one smacked of an arrogance and pig-headedness seldom seen during this campaign.The injuries to players is not an excuse.
The ONLY thing of note were the brief flashes of Danny brilliance. Don’t talk to me about Chicha’s header – he shouldered it.
This game was made infinitely more depressing as the camera panned to the United bench, only to find Mike Phelan mirroring my body language exactly. I feel wrong.
