it seems that man utd are struggling as well, but their lack of created chances harbors on rooney's absence. but i do think they are doing the bare minimum to win matches and relying on their defense/VDS to do the hard part

btw, giggs goal was not that bad either

True, they are struggling to create against the smaller teams lately. If you ask me, i think Berbatov is the reason. Not because he has been poor(Actually he's been quite good in recent matches) but because introducing Berbatov to the starting lineup reduced mobility in Utd's team.

Last season Tevez, Rooney and Ronaldo were constantly changing positions and they were a nightmare to defend against. Now Ronaldo is stuck on the wing and Man Utd have looked more predictable as of late.

They're still an extremely efficient team though.

Bastard Man Utd went and beat Aberdeen's British league record of time without conceding a goal. The record stood from the 1970/71 season.

Forza Bobby Clark.



Legend.

i just love how berbatov is always there to make a play on the ball but i think the rotation you mentioned is the key

Not sure.

It's 13 league clean sheets in a row.

Alex Ferguson was one of the strikers who failed to score against Bobby Clark when Aberdeen set the record.

A bit of trivia, name the 13 players who have played for more than one of the Premier League top 4 (Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea) since the Premier League began.
