I can't accept another setbacks... It's now or never Fergie... No Rooney and no Scholes, no problem?
Since the start of the season, there are rumors of saying Manchester United is weak and 'not as it should be' compare to three seasons before. So what? We won two Premier League titles, won and retained the Carling Cup. Compare to you Scousers, we won titles, but not you, right? You too Gunners. =P
Okay. back to the topic.... We are now three points behind leader Chelsea, and we have scored sixteen goals and conceded nine. We've played into draw in our three away matches (Fulham 2-2, Everton 3-3 and Bolton 2-2) and it's something to bother because we're terribly defended in away matches. Not to mention we'd lost points during Liverpool visit at our ground on 19th September. We also losing points in the Champion's League where we open our CL season with 0-0 draw with 'unorthodox' Rangers. Thorough there, we've lost six points in the league and conceded seven goals on the road. Not a good thing I think?
I remember well how season 07/08 started and I don't think it can go worst, isn't it? But, we did won the title on that season and I do hope we won it again this season as well.
The spotlight for this season so far has to be United's no. 10, Wayne Rooney, with his private life publicized by the media. Mr and Mrs Rooney spoke to the public not to reveal their private life, but it prove to be the catalyst for what Rooney's season provide to us so far. That was what 'Wazza' said, and Ferguson backed him up.
Across the regions, England's legend Kevin Keegan however had other idea about Rooney's downfall, and blame the Merseyside born football star's lifestyle for all these.
"You can't then turn around and say there's too much paparazzi around or too much publicity," Keegan said to ESPN.
It's reality and Rooney had to make it up or his shine will soon faded and he won't be the number ten we know in two seasons from now.
And as for our match against Valencia tonight, Rooney was put to rest for at least three weeks due to ankle injury sustained during Bolton's game. If that's not worse enough, talisman Paul Scholes wasn't joining the trip to Spain too.
Speaking of which, Valencia CF's season started off pretty solid. Now topping the La Liga (Spain's League) and the Group C too. Even without their prolific striker David Villa, they still consider as a threat to us Reds. I have been a fond of the current star man in Valencia, Spain's winger Joaquin, and I expect him to cause such trouble in United's back line. (Oh the horror...)
Well, I guess that's all. I am trying not to point fingers at anyone at this rate because, 'it's not a cool thing to do'. (LOL). I hope the defense will be alright, with Rio (Ferdinand) is returning, along with (Michael) Carrick for the first half of the season. I still missing that Canadian born midfielder Owen Hargreaves, and I wish him a good recovery soon.
May the best team win tonight! Glory glory Man Utd!
My prediction for tonight: Valencia 1 - 2 Manchester United
