My team suck.

It's not often I say this but Manchester United have completely lost the plot. I no longer think it's bad luck we're having, it's sloppy play. It's not Sir Alex's fault though, it's the players. All he can do is pick the team, if then the players play poor the manager can hardly be blamed.

Take out last 4 matches. One we played well against a poor side and thrashed them. The other 3 we played extremely poorly by our standards. Drawing against Crystal Palace, Losing to Norwich and now Losing to Everton.

Credit to the teams who played brilliantly but the first two are relegation material, we should be hammering them. 4 world class strikers and not one seems to be able to score.

I watched the Everton and Norwich games in full, as I watched the Everton game memories of Norwich came flashing back. We didn't create chances. Crosses seemed to always go near post, which didn't work. Long shots either missed or hit their keeper. As soon as we got it to their box we lost possesion easily. And if seems we cannot defend set plays all that well.

Van nistlerooy isn't what he used to be. Ronaldo has been hit and miss all season. Keane's dependable strong midfield performances are starting to weaken. We have a keeper problem and it seems only Giggs can get the ball into the box.

We've rolled over and died, while Chelsea have dominated and Arsenal have slipped past us. Arsenal I admit are a quality side, Chelsea however wouldn't be there if it wasn't for Roman Abromoviches millions. Sad really how a wealthy benefactor can buy the Premiership like that.

I always say Next season we'll be strong again, but I'm worried that may not be the case unless the team gets their act together. What happened to the side that frequently held the ball off the opposition, who won frequently and who were feared by all? Now we struggle to keep a champions league place.

3rd is not good enough. Two seasons in a row in that place is a sign of us completely falling apart.
