We finished 5th from the top last season. Can't be that bad, and we've strengthened since then.mcfc1632 said:EalingBlue2 said:I must admit I am not sure why everyone has got so anti bridge he hasn;t done badly it seems though to be self perpetuating the more people say he is terrible the worse everyone thinks he is. The lad did ok.
If you watch the goals we conceeded last year or the things that cost us dear a far lot more happened on our right hand side of defence. It was there that Giggs skinned us, it was there we left a gap for owen, it was there someone was free to cross to Scholes it was there that sending offs happened, it was there that crosses came in to let the likes of Bolton score against us etc etc.
yet despite the facts showing that the right flank was where our problems were everyone has decided to blame bridge.
as I say a mystery.............
But then again I learned on this transfer forum that Ibrahimovich is sh*t and Ade is lazy despite the evidence showing the opposite so I guess facts just aren;'t reality?
I am not anti-Bridge - good squad player - just not 1st choice if we are trying to win the PL
I am anti-Micah though - main problem we are so weak on the right
Micah came into the team and was so good it was untrue. Perhaps it all came too easy for him, and now he has to work hard to get back to his best.
We're building a squad of very good players, and the next job is one for the coaches to get the individuals to work as a team, and for the players to work hard on their fitness. Don't expect too much too soon. I think that might be a problem this season though.
