Chance To Put A Firm Hand On The Trophy

Vidic, Rooney & Carrick. Players who must play against Arsenal

Manchester United vs Arsenal. I cannot even beginning to say how important this game is. Our key players ( Rooney, Vidic, Carrick, Evra, ) have now played 8 games in 3 weeks, they are, or should be, tired. But, we need them for the next three games and if they are able to lead us to victory in 2 of those 3 games, they will rest for two weeks because the tittle will be ours. But, I do NOT like looking too far ahead into the future, we have an important game tomorrow and that should be the only thing in the players mind. 

Giggs! United's future looks so dark without you!

When I sat down and read that Giggs would miss this game I thought " not a major problem", but these games against Arsenal are always won in the midfield and without: Giggs, Hargreves, Scholes or Fletcher our midfield will be very inexperience and that could be costly because they have some absolutely phenomenal midfielders. Fabgregas has been below-par this season, but will look to torment our defense along with our midfield. Van Persie has been amazing,he has scored 13 goals this year ( not season) and  in my opinion the best striker in the world  it will be interesting the battle between him and Vidic.

Berbatov is back at the right time

I believe it is a coincidence, others say " meant to
be" that after 3 weeks ( 8 games )  without playing Berbatov can finally start playing back again. I for one hate that a player can just waltz back into the squad and start playing again, but that's football and he is actually a big boost. Berbatov had a great 2010, but this year he has actually only scored six goals, which seems like a fair amount, but those six goals have been spread out into just 3 games. He has played 14 games this season and scored in just 3, but it is important to look at this from another angle, when he does score, he keeps scoring, I hope he can start against Arsenal.

COACH TIME

My favorite segment of the blog. Well, as I previously said, these games are won and lost in the midfield, which is my a have decided to play with 5 midfielders: Rooney and Nani are wingers that can support Berbatov, but mainly from counter attacks. Although United played very well against Schalke I believe that we cannot afford to play the same way against Arsenal ( attack, attack, attack ) we must play with counter attacks; Arsenal is a team that try to play like Barca, lots of passes, but they are missing their " Messi" they have no one who can beat a player apart from Nasri, who is keeps being played out of position. When/ If we get the lead we have to defend it! All we need is a win, not a thrashing. Ferdinand, Vidic and Carrick will have to stop Nasri, Van Persie, and Fabregas getting into the box. While Evra and Silva must control that Clichy and Nasri do not get behind them, if our defense play as well as they usually play we are in for a great game. 

I believe they will go all out attack, and that will benefit us greatly, so I believe we will win 2-0 goals from Nani and Berbatov. AND IF CHELSEA LOSE WE ARE CHAMPIONS!
