It all seemed a bit moribund: the once titans of the Premier
League playing out a goalless draw as if the minds of each team was focused
elsewhere, or could that be the minds of the managers?
Lacking in pace or real bite both sides seemed to be
content, as the game progressed, in what became a foregone conclusion. For the
arsenal it appeared to be a case of responding to Saturday’s debacle by not
losing, for United there were shades of just wanting to steady the ship. Man
for man both sides lacked cutting edge and the game bore little resemblance o
the vital clashes of old. Perhaps that’s a bygone era, certainly for United
it’s a new experience. For us it’s something that, to an extent, supporters
have become accustomed to.
If, by dint of team selection, our
manager doesn’t take the FA cup tie against Liverpool seriously it could be
goodnight Vienna: as I said before we are talking about a tournament where we know that one of
Chelsea/City are going to be eliminated and that we are in a position to knock
out the other real threat on Sunday.
If a priority is made of the Champions League game at the
expense of progress in a winnable tournament I feel many will reach a point
beyond frustration. If the Manager thinks we have bigger fish to fry when he
fields his starting XI on Sunday he may be left with nothing in his keep net
come May.
