We won. Playing well, this is for the next game. Before the game, I feared for a 4-4-1-1, just from what I saw against the Wolves. And the problems were repeated. Obertan played centralized against the Wolves and didn't work. And didn't work again yesterday. And this problem was simple to solve. It was enough to swap the positions between Park and Obertan.
Yesterday's game was similar to other games this season. the team starts well, taking the initiative, creating chances but failing to convert on goal. This works well for 20 minutes. From then on, the team stops. the opponent starts playing better, creating the better chances and United suffered a huge pressure. It was disturbing to see the team only getting betterr when Wigan's players were sent off.
The good thing i'ts the defense.It seems to have finally settled. Rafael was superb in the second half, Evra was excellent and Vidic / Ferdinand made a solid performances
Kiko had difficulty playing alone again. Incidentally, It gave me a certainty: If Ferguson wants to play with a sole striker, the only one able to perform well is Rooney. Berbatov made some good games in this situation but in most games, he had trouble playing alone. Macheda, ditto. And Chicharito isn't ready for this (and i don'tt know if he'll be one day).
Still disappointed about the team's performances but i'm obviously satisfied with the win. After all, even not playing well, the the team can win, and that's something positive.
And yet, this has been a great weekend for United. Arsenal lost his game, Chelsea as well, and now we're sharing the lead. All favorable.
