I am very anti united. Very. Sorry if this is horribly biased.
I feel united's squad is the worst it has been for 5 years. To be fair, they do have some good youngsters coming through, hernandez, gibson, fabio etc... but they do have spme poor players who don't warrant a place, Macheda, Park "shirt sales" ji sung, bebe, obertan, carrick is getting worse, evans, van de sar needs to be replaced.
Anyway
Spurs 1-0 Man U
*fingers crossed
Hmm, how best to dismantle this point?
Firstly, 5 years? They won it in 2008-09 so I think it's safe to say with the likes of Ronaldo, they had a pretty strong squad then - they lost out last year to a very good Chelsea side, and they're level on points with Arsenal and Man City, so they're not really doing horrendously badly this year..
Yeah, good youngsters, and good senior players - Gibson isn't exactly a youngster at 23, Hernandez is scoring for fun at the minute, and SAF has said today that Roo will have to fight for his place when he's fit again. Fabio etc? Rafael really showed his quality in the CL last season, and Fabio has looked first team worthy too, but Evra, being in the top 3 LBs in the world, is keeping his place.
Macheda should really be listed amongst your "youngsters", he's a great prospect, and looks good whenever he plays - Did you see his goal against Villa? Park is a workhorse, and actually (I think) a pretty good player, his versatility is hugely important, and he never stops running. Bebe again is a "youngster", but admittedly a huge gamble, we haven't seen enough of him to saw he isn't worthy of a place. Obertan, I agree hasn't shown his quality at Utd. Carrick is very good on his day, but admittedly is hit and miss. VDS is now 40, and still going strong - I think it's worth pointing you back to the fact they're
unbeaten in the league, he made a mistake the other day, but it's so rare for him it's not worth dwelling on.
Anyway. Spurs haven't won away against "The Big 4" for a long time, can't see that changing tbh.
3-1 Utd.
