Has Fergie missed a trick?? Yesterday they were bullied all over the pitch and contrary to what he said in regards to the strike force - football has changed this is not 99 and the games are controlled and won from attacking midfielders with guile and speed and Kagawa fits into this mould perfectly, however 1 is not enough, scholes,cleverly,carrick are not it and this is where he is soley lacking.
Spain showed this with 5 midfielders and no recognised strikers, hence Chelsea signing Hazard,Marin and Oscar, Arsenal got Carzola (what a signing) and now they will get Sahin from Real Madrid (another potentially explosive player)and they still have rosizky,wiltshire. There no wingers now as we knew them wingers are now the full-backs hence the predicatable play of Young and Nani as opposed to Zabaleta and Clichy and this is now the new width. I fear for Vidic granted he has not played for a while i feel his best days are behind him (this is what injury does to you during old age - see michael owen)and i think it's the end for Ferdinand however we wait and see. Well Man U will bounce back but they need midfielders and defenders but watatoka wapi? They have lost a game on paper they had earmarked to win now it's early days but it has given a huge psychology boost to others read Arsenal, Chelsea, City, Newcastle, Tottenham and now unfortunately they will be playing catch-up no stories of Man U always starts slowly this season will be tough with 5-6 teams capable of winning it however as some-one said Game on!! First blood to City and Chelsea!
The greatest danger in times of turbulence is not the turbulence; it is to act with yesterday's logic.
