Usually an optimist, recently a pesimist (footy)
Having doubts on whether or not I'll finish SA0 in time. Did chapter 4 last night. Just the final fight and the Sonic 2 ending to do and I've finished the Sonic 2 part.
I would say I'm an optimist, but recently I've found myself being pesimistic about my footy team Man u. They are in one of their crisis' (strangely no-one has picked up on it, probably as it's the end of the season). Things were going great until Ruud returned.
We had only lost 2 games all season. 1-0 at chelsea when we were at half strength, and 2-0 a portsmouth when we fell apart for some reason.
Then we lost to AC Milan, knocking us out of the Champions league. A draw against Crystal Palace (relegation material), and West brom (also relegation material. 3 losses, including Chelsea (really good), Everton (surprisingly good but we should've beat them, they lost 7-0 to Arsenal today!!), and Norwich! (2-0 and they're Relegation material).
What was a season of 2 losses became one of 5 in a month. We lost 2nd place to Arsenal and gave up chancing Chelsea.
Ok we had the newcastle games where we kicked their arse, as well as charlton. But you get the feeling they were playing shit and deserved to lose. Any team playing good and we fold.
The problem I feel is definately upfront. We only have two tactics. A cross for a header or a long shot. Headed crosses rarely work out and long shots are difficult to hit the target. What happened to volleys, playing the ball across the 6 yard line, going close to the end and passing back to a player in space? There's just no variation up front.
Play like we have been doing, as how arsenal have been doing and we might as well forfeit the match. There is no way we are going to beat Arsenal unless the players get their act together and vary their attacks.
