United Stumble Again (Portsmouth 1 - Manchester United 1)

I missed the entire first half and a good portion of the second half as well due to 'technical' problems. Suffice to say, if I had known that a 1-1 draw was on the cards, I would have given up trying to watch the game and gone to sleep.

I caught bits and pieces of the second half and quite frankly, the only guy who impressed me in a red shirt was Nani. From my sketchy picture, the midfield was non-existent. Scholes and Carrick didn't seem able to control the midfield. Anything good coming from us were from our Portuguese wingers, Nani and Ronaldo.

Giggs and Tevez were pretty much non-existent as well. By the time I actually saw them in the game, both look winded and a step slow.

The defense was in sixes and sevens whenever Portsmouth came forward. Benjani, in particular, single-handedly seem to tear our flimsy looking back four to shreds.

To compound matters, we were reduced to 10 men when Ronaldo was sent off in the 85th minute. Portsmouth had earlier had a man sent off but like the weekend, we couldn't make our advantage count. Then again, it wasn't very much of an advantage since Ronaldo was sent off only a couple of minutes from the Portsmouth sending off.

Overall I felt that this was a pretty poor performance. Maybe the first half was a better affair. The second half was just littered with poor shots, missed chances and desperate defending at times.

We now have to go into the weekend facing Shitty, who have full points from 2 games!?!?! Well, at least, looking on the bright side.....we're still undefeated!
