So I am pretty disappointed by Manchester United after their 1-0 loss to Chelsea this weekend. Sure the goal should have been waived b/c Drogba was offsides and interfered with the play, but that is no excuse. The refs can't be blamed everytime we don't take home maximum points.
Sir Alex, Evans and Fletcher need to be straightened out, they both got lucky they weren't sent off.
Wayne Rooney doesn't need to be criticized for the 12th man remark he made towards a camera, but he also probably doesn't need to say it. While he is arguably right and wrong, both sides were on the positive end of questionable calls, that is part of the game. Whether you are on the wrong side or the right side of the referee, as long as he isn't blatantly favoring one side to the other, you need to figure out how to win games even on the home pitch of the great teams.
United are now five points back from Chelsea in the table and while they haven't been playing with their full squad lately, there have been some lackluster performances.
Speaking on the Champions League, while the result was disappointing, the way they got it showed that this team is still great without Cristiano Ronaldo. It is difficult to come back from being 3-1 down to get a draw no matter who you are playing against. But I went into the game expecting a victory.
Either way, Man U have qualified for a spot in the Round of 16 with two matches remainging, so I can look back on the last week and be happy about that I guess.
