I know Utd are the top team but it's not just today's game, I'm worried how one dimensional we are, our attacks always seem to end with a (often poor) cross into the box - we don't seem to work it in, invite challenges, work openings. We also seem physically weaker than other teams - I think Faurlin in particular fades late on. Hope I'm wrong but I think if we don't beat Sunderland it could all go quickly downhill.
Your bad form has come at a bad time. Sunderland are starting to pick up and Swansea and Norwich still look strong. There is still January to rectify things. I think Faurlin just had a bad day at the office, when I've seen you play he has been your best player by a mile. DJ Campbell returning will me a major boost, he is a proven goalscorer at this level.
I think Warnock is staring to get found out at this level! Didn't expect a win bit did expect a better performance from us! Woeful at the back and no threat up front. Still concerned that the player that got us promoted is now a bit part player and yet the likes of Bothroyd, who is clearly not a premier league player is still relied upon. As for Barton......enough said! If we don't get 4 points from Sunderland and Swansea then we're relying on the likes of Bolton, BLackburn and Wigan to stay where they are.
