After enduring a week of gloating from Liverpool fans, it is another disappointing and miserable week for us, the followers of the Red Devils, as Manchester United lost to Fulham at Craven Cottage. Fulham scored two goals, one from a penalty as veteran Paul Scholes deliberately used his hands to block a shot and then sent off and the other from Zoltan Gera as the time was running out. To make things even worse, Rooney got himself sent off after getting two unnecessary yellow cards. Paul Scholes had a straight red card and may be suspended for a minimum of 2 games, while Rooney may be suspended for one game. Again, I felt Sir Alex Ferguson had a tactical mistake as his midfield was not effective and the attack was almost toothless as Berba was initially the only striker.
Luckily, Chelsea lost 1-0 to Tottenham Hotspurs, which denied the Blues the chance to cut Manchester United's lead at the top of the Barclays Premier League. However, Liverpool may do that if they win later against Aston Villa, though Aston Villa is also seeking a strong finish this season.
It looked as though Manchester United did press the self-destruct button last week. SAF really has to make sure that the confidence back to the squad or else they would surrender the Premier League trophy to Liverpool.
