In a month, either this post or United’s season will be all for nought.
I’m a little worried. There, I said it. My confidence in the team’s killer instinct is wavering because of their past two results. I’m trying to figure out what’s missing that has kept them from finishing off teams off - leadership maybe?
Here’s the thing, we should’ve beaten Chelsea on Saturday and we should’ve played more aggressively on Wednesday against Barcelona. I mean Chelsea don’t even like playing together - they bicker on the field, they play selfishly, they’re chumps (for the most part…)
And suddenly when the EPL crown seemed tied up for a second straight year, we’re now in a must win situation for the next two games.
BUT
I might be worrying for nothing. Chelsea’s been known to play poorly away against opponents they should beat and United can definitely take Wigan and West Ham. So a loss from the chumps coupled with a win from United should be enough to set the ship right.
And, hopefully, Fergie was playing for the draw in Barcelona knowing that Old Trafford is a fortress. A strong performance at home and we’re off to Moscow for the Champion’s League final.
It’s ideal, but I think both results are attainable.
BUT
Let’s hope Riise doesn’t shank another one into his own net, because playing Chelsea for both trophies is a bit boring. Nothing’s better than a Liverpool-United final. Nothing.
