There wasn't much free-flowing football evident yesterday - for a 'flair' team - Man Utd seemed to be doing an awful lot of humping the ball forward - and to concede a brace of goals against a team that just can't find the net (And they had two total sitters they should have scored from as well) would be worrying for me..
I think you still need a defender or two - it'll be interesting when you meet some teams near the top of the table - or at least some teams that can score goals..
Should be an interesting season..
I would be more concerned about your own team, and your lack of goals and your general poor play at the minute. You've scraped some very fortunate results lately, championship form it ain't.

Wow, two players underperforming. We have had the whole bloody team NOT performing for the first 3 months of the season. Now we are cranking it into third gear it'll be interesting....
Re: Owen. Do you not think that he has been found out and that your opponents are just nullifying the pony's one trick?.</strong><hr></blockquote>
If we were talking about one trick ponies, we'd have to discuss RVN, Beckham, Giggs, P Neville, G Neville, Blanc and Silvestre.. but since we're not..
Micky is a very young player who is learning all the time. He has been critisced for using his right foot only, and has gone on to score with his left peg and his head (against you I seem to rememember)
Players aren't supermen - they are normal people with a talent - Man Utd's talent lies not in the greatness of individual players - but of blending as a team. We haven't managed that yet because we haven't been together as a team for long enough - the fruits of GH's philosophies will be there to see in a year or two - I will quite happily admit that we're not there yet and I can confidently say there is no way we'll win the league this year - we will probably start challenging (to plan) either next year or the year after that.
After this short wait between league titles, I think we can wait a little longer with patience..

We've still got 15 years left before we become officially the most pathetic team in the history of English football..

RVN, Giggs and Beckham, one trick ponies <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> Shite they are. Can only do one thing well ????
P & G Neville, Blanc and Silvestre, didn't realise this lot had even one trick.

Come on the Andy, tell us of RVN's, Becks', and Giggsy's one tricks?. <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laugh Out Loud]" /> .As for the defenders you mention, I would say that have more dimensions than Jamie Carragher!!!. Plus, as a defender, being multi-dimensional as a player is not as necessary.
Can't you come up with anything better that blatantly biased and completely untrue arguments?. Maybe thats just the thick uneducated simple scouser in you.

Its not very nice to talk about a departing player like that. I'm sure Andy Cole will do well enough at Blackburn....
...oh, you meant Heskey. Sorry. <img src="graemlins/nervous.gif" border="0" alt="[Nervous]" />

I think that scousers with their usual obsession with Man United just think that us not winning the league for twenty six years is the only record worth mentioning.......
Until Liverpool have the same record......
When they'll mysteriously forget it.....
