What an interesting week 5.
Last nights massacre, brutal. Now that's not as bad as two years ago, but still, I can say little positive things about the performance from United. I think the one shining star for them would be Rooney, but otherwise that was an ass kicking. Fellaini just looked a little lost out there, trying too much but accomplishing very little. The whole aura that is MUFC just hasn't really shown, you don't see the same intimidating factor that they are known for. If there's one team that needed to be aggressive during the transfer window, it's United. Also, how important is RVP to their campaign? It's only week five, and the sky isn't falling, but they need to get some confidence. The face Liverpool on Wednesday in the League Cup tournament, odds are Liverpool will not field their full force as the focus is to get to fourth place, however, odds are you will see Suarez in that match, but it is al Old Trafford.
Liverpool finally went Liverpool, not that I am saying it's all over, I mean they are still missing the most important element to their offense, and you could really see how much they needed it last night. I give the team a lot of credit, they have done well without Suarez, but last night having to play behind, they couldn't get an opening for Sturridge. It's understandable, Sturridge was never intended to be the primary option, and he's done well in the role, but sometimes doing just enough isn't enough. They have one more week before Suarez can return to the Premier League, and the next game will be against Sunderland who just sacked their manager, so hopefully they can get a win and move past the weekends ugliness.
The team who has rebounded and impressed the hell out of me so far is the Gunners, while I may hate them, they are starting strong. A slight trip up in the beginning and it's just been go since then, but like I said, it's only week 5.
And one last note, the call for people to want their manager sacked after a loss is getting just plain stupid. Week one it was a call for Arsenes head, last week some Chelsea fans were even calling for the return of Rafa, you know, the guy who they held a protest in front of the clubs HQ against, and now it's United fans.
