The other games today - 2012/13


Recommended Posts

Man Utd have been terrible.

they're one of the worst quality of champions I can remember

 

They're just really efficient, not much flair there at all.

 

Good psychological edge over teams in the division/referees really plays it part too IMO.

Utd are usually just incredibly good at soaking up pressue and attacking in the right way (ie targeting the right weakness) at the right time in games. If they're drawing away from home with 20-25 minutes left they always absolutely throw the kitchen sink at teams, gotta respect them for that.

I would say that this has been one of the poorest quality seasons I can remember. I don't just mean us. The title race and relegation battle have been pretty clear cut in terms of the extremes of it, and the quality has been low. Man United are the most perfunctory team I've ever seen win a title. No flair, no real cleverness, just very efficient, effective and determined with excellent players, one outstanding player that scores shit-loads, and a reliable squad with a winning mentality woven through it. It's not just them either, Spurs and Arsenal, who are seen as the passing, attacking teams haven't been as good as the hype. The league has fallen way behind La Liga for the quality of football, and it's no real coincidence that it started when Ronaldo went to Real Madrid.

 

Having said that, I thought last season was definitely a vintage season. The way it ended was outstanding and there were some excellent games, loads of surprises, and a lot of excellent football. Sky didn't even have to hype it. It really was that good.

it's hard to say with the styles being so different (and being honest i dont think i've watched a la liga game this season that didn't have either barce or real madrid in it).

 

 

I know it's purely subjective but I look at the team that is running away with our league and see players like carrick, the current ryan giggs, welbeck, young, smalling and a few more and just thin k they are nowhere near players from previous man utd teams.
