Manchester United vs. Middlesbrough

Hmmm... I remember this theme... a certain mercurial Frenchman returning from suspension leading United to a handful of 1-0 wins in the run-in while United overturned a large deficit. Maybe a mercurial Bulgarian can emulate him though I'd prefer a return of the 2-4 goal hammerings.

I was thinking that all second half but the comparison does'nt really stand up. I was at a good few of those games and the players showed great urgency and passion. that is not evident in this team. and that mercurial frenchman scored practically every game in that run and when things were not going his way he booted someone up the arse. it was'nt pretty but it showed he cared and I just cannot see the same passion in Berbatov

that was a truly awful display. at home with so much at stake and I cant remember one tackle being put in. not once do I remember a united player flying into a challenge like it meant something. there is something missing from our play. there is an urgency and a passion missing and if it continues then these low scoring displays will turn into points dropped

Maybe not a bad thing that the players know that a big improvement needed.These last two games were always going to be difficult coming off the Japan thing and in fairness we have been lucky but we have 6pts
 
Did you see Berbatov celebrate? He actually celebrated and laughed and smiled and looked chuffed. How uncool.

He must have got my early instructions though.....BALL KICK NET

Works every time!
