I sort of agree. Their defence is a one man team, Ferdinand. Their attack is detached from that. Maybe that's a problem for them, thier team is of 2 halves: Defence and Attack. It needs to act like one team. Arsenal have strikers sprinting back to retrieve balls they've lost

Their defence is struggling at the moment but I wouldn't say they're a one man defence. Silvestre has been good this season and Gary Neville, despite the stick he gets, is also a good defender. Our defence has been a lot better this season though. Significant improvement by Lauren, Cole, Campbell and Toure and Cygan as well when he's been needed.

I personally don't think Man Utd are a one man team, just as I KNOW that Arsenal aren't. But Fergie and the press have had a lot of mileage from the accusation, that we're nothing without TH14. However, they keep putting Man U's poor performances down to losing Rio Ferdinand, without saying Man U are a one man team. I don't get it.

I think they mostly lost confidence: Look at the Sinclair goal! Silvestre does not make those mistakes, it is not up to Ferdinand, they just feel the world is against them and they are adrift, just like arsenal was last year. You lose momentum and every minor detail becomes huge!

Their makeshift defence now reminds me of our defence at this time last year for the Blackburn game:
Lauren, Cygan, Gilberto, Van Bronkhorst
Hardly imposing is it?

Its mroe than that though. Rio is the only experienced CB. Silverstre is a LB. I think that if United get another quality CB they might get that second spot back again.

A bit late for that now. Instead of signing Saha, they should have gotten a CB.

Silvestre is not really a LB, he can play there but he prefers playing CB which is why he moved there this year.
I'm surprised the mancs got Saha instead of a CB, but that's up to them.

The interesting is, both Saha and RVN are in the top 4 for the golden boot.

Althugh MU lost, I don't think Man City is stronger. They won because MU was not in the best form.
The biggest problem of MU lies in their defence.

Man U have some good players, there recent form can not be put down to the absence of one player. What about Keane, Van Diver boy and the rest. Arsenal are just to good for them this season!
