Bolton thoughts + Highlights

I have an admission to make. Due to unforeseen circumstances, I missed todays match. (Has anyone forgotten what a 3:00 Saturday kick-off feels like by the way?) I rushed back to my computer for news on the Bolton game, knowing full well a win would enable United to catch up by 3 points, giving Chelseas loss yesterday. A few seconds later, I was filled with disappointment. We had indeed clawed back to second place, but by one point, not three. Although Im not in the best position to comment, heres a few thoughts.

The defence yet again is doing its best impression of Swiss cheese. I know we were playing away, and Bolton are decent, but we are leaking goals right now. One or two is acceptable, but not to the degree it has been of late. Ferdinand sat out again, he is clearly not match-fit or he would be playing. Defence needs to be worked on, and fast.

Rooney is not having much fun at the moment. Good reason for his mind to be elsewhere, but we need his goals and performances. And they are below average right now. What is more, he now has an ankle injury to deal with. Reports say it should be fine for Valencia on Wednesday but its just another worry. Speaking of injuries, Giggs is out for a few weeks with a strained hamstring. Disappointing.

So if we look at the positives, United gained a point on the leaders and showed a fighting spirit when behind. Negatives, the defence looks about as solid as jelly and if that is the way against Valencia, the Champions League form will be a concern given the poor start against Rangers. And the only away win achieved this season has been against Scunthorpe. The form of Champions? Not really.

Fan Diary 30 August 2010: The Return Of Fernando Torres

Image
The kid is back. Throughout last season, Liverpool supporters groaned asFernando Torresfell again and again into the arms of Ol Mistress Injury. We groaned throughout the summers World Cup as he looked far from his best and couldnt find a single goal (although we also groaned when Pedro ignored a wide open Torres to take a fruitless chance of his own against Germany). And we nearly had a heart attack when Torres collapsed in the closing seconds of the final against the Netherlands. The kid made us feel a little better when he threw the Liverpool scarf around his neck before hoisting the World Cup trophy. But mostly we groaned. This season started slow for both Liverpool and Fernando Torres. (Maybe hes literally a different player: now that his hair is short and dark I cant always pick him out on the pitch when the cameras pulled back. Maybe its not Torres at all) Anyway: more groaning. I cantcomplain too heartily about the results themselves. A draw againstArsenal and a loss to Cityca
