The international break works both ways. It gives all teams time to recover from injuries (benyanoun), time to pick up new injuries (hopefully none from our side) and time to ponder on their season. When Man U lost to us, the reports were on how strongly they would rebound at Fulham. When they lost to Fulham, the self-doubt and anxiety can only be cleared by winning the next match. The only problem is the next match is 2 weeks away. A lot of time to ponder and worry. I do hope they self destruct from the stress of chasing so many titles. Notice how Berbatov is conveniently injured before an international break? Seems so Man U.
Another thing I noticed that will be crucial now is the CARDs. We got 1 yellow card today for a Gerrard lunge. Man U got 4 yellow cards and 2 red cards at Fulham. With the suspensions and injuries and the fixture pile ups to come, we are there to take advantage should Man U ever drop points again.
Man U's next match is against Aston Villa. Both teams lost this week. Let's see which team will rebound after this week's defeats. Time for an old boy to get us points? Come on Friedel (is he immediately suspended?). Come on Heskey! We will visit Fulham next. Notice the similarity in fixtures?
