Is it just me or have United looked complacent and even downright unprofessional in recent games? I have noticed this in quite a few games this season, as well. And what about the very un-United stat that says they have not won a game where they have fallen behind this season? This is not the United we have been watching for the last 20 years and I can't believe that SAF wouldn't have seen this so it must be all down to players' attitudes. Mark my words gents, if the complacency and unprofessionalism continues in the last 3 game the title will be going to City.
I noticed it when we were playing Wigan, the players ( the youngsters ) thought the title race was over but they've never expeirenced that before, don't worry, the manager would've given them the hairdryer treatmment after yesterday's result and will pick them up for the Manchester dervy a week today.
Whatever Fergie says seems lost on Rafael who sleep walks through the last ten minutes of almost every game he plays. He's a defensive liability and Smalling has to play right back against city.
Rafael is quite an enigma. You never know whether he will play a stormer or be a liability. I, too, would go for Smalling at RB in the City game.
This is the problem with having a young squad. I'm confident that the majority of the young players getting first team games this season will go on to be great players and win plenty more trophies with us, but they are still young and young players are generally more inconsistent. This is one of the youngerst United teams we've had in a long time.
Ive never seen Rafael play a game for us when he hasn't made at least one howler. He often gets away with it but I cringe when I see his name on the team sheet. Smalling ahead of him always for me.
