I didnt expect a hammering and am delighted with another win. but that was one of the least satisfying wins i have ever endured. the amount of times we say it and still they never seem to learn. sit back and invite average teams onto you and you will get matched. its as simple as that. never even saw van persie. best striker in the league, and just didnt use him. awful performance in the 2nd half and cost many points last season. literally hung on, and not for 3 minutes, for about 25 we were thumping the ball out of the box and waiting for it to come back in a way not seen since we held on in the semi final in 2008. really disappointed that there didnt seem to be an understanding that we could go 7 points clear and if its down to nerves this early in the year then we can expect a similar end to last season.
bottom line, need to see the ruthless united again,its been far too long.
