View on the beloved

Liverpool have the Champions League eh? Well,on the night,they deserved it.Good for ye,scousers..I will not take away the fact that what they did was nothing short of awesome.You deserve to be able to defend your title.So come on,UEFA,lets have 5 English teams into the CL next season.

But,aside from that,I am by all means a Manchester United supporter.Till the end.Not exactly the best of times for the Red Devils.Bucketloads of uncertainty.All the turmoil behind the scenes,while not the sole reason,.it certainly does not help the cause.

Fergie vs Irish shareholders,Rio vs FA,Man U vs FA and plus on the footballing side,besides Arsenal,we now have to contend with Chelski and sometimes even Man U vs Man U,considering the number of times we shot ourselves in the foot with the gun of inconsistency.Oh and of course,not forgetting the Glazer saga.To say that the club is fighting on multiple fronts would be an understatement.God,I just realized that I have not even considered playing problems on the field.

The club is in transition,as a whole,plug included.The only club out of those considered the Big 4(no disrespect to the Toffees) left without silverware,there is a certain degree of humiliation when that fact is read out,hurting a club with the winning tradition.like that of Manchester United.

Leaving the tactical side to Fergie,my personal view on personnel as follows.Firstly,Ruud van Nistelrooy should not be sold.We made a mistake with Becks,,we are gonna be repeating the same mistake if he is sold.How many times have we wished for the passing ability,vision and the assisting ability of the English captain? If RVN is sold,now there will be no one to finish 0ff the chances that are created.He needs service which lacked this season and many a time we wished he was playing so that at least one of the numerous chances created could be converted.Hunger is a question as well..Scholes and Giggs should be phased out to play supporting roles and and 2nd rate players should be sold off to get the cash needed to buy a world-class midfielder to really strengthen the midfield,Quality over quantity.I would dearly wish to have Andrea Pirlo or Juninho Pernembucano come to the club. I do wish that Liam Miller and Kleberson could step up and I do wonder why Fergie deploys the latter on the right.To those who say that Kleberson is good enough,I say maybe but it is ability that is not proven ENOUGH.I would much rather prefer someone who can perform well at a high level consistently and is proven on the European stage.Andrea Pirlo comes to mind again(Maybe its cos he's one of my fave players).In place of the numerous 2nd string,we would have the youngsters alongside the veterans.Spector should be given a chance and David Jones and Giuseppe Rossi should be given cameos.Who knows,they might do well...
