The signs of crisis? Not necessarily. At least until today they still hold the record unbeaten run. But their appearance begins to show signs could be stopped by any team. Their main alibi was clear: lose a lot of core players. There are at least seven to eight names of senior players absent yesterday at home to Basel in the Champions League.
Yet again, this should be proof that United's squad depth early in the season is said to have the strongest bench than any team. The result? Bench proved very robust in the face of Leeds United. Winning 3-0 in the Carling Cup. But that team Championship division. When I moved to the Premier League, the story is different again.
Stoke City into the opponent. In a tough away game, Wayne Rooney was suddenly absent. Johnny Evans much more suddenly again before kick-off. And just a few minutes after kick off, Javier Hernandez should be limping out. This makes the appearance of an injury blow of United became shaky. And just because it looks brilliant David De Gea under the crossbar is they can come home from Stoke by pocketing one point.
Furthermore, FC Basel came to Old Trafford. A shrine for the last point could be stolen by West Brom last season. United also believed to be able to get three points first in Europe this season with the smooth. It turned out quite the opposite. A rollercoaster ride full of drama occurred last night. Their 2-0 advantage through the efforts of Danny Welbeck disappear just like that. In fact, the visitors finally got ahead 3-2 before Ashley Young showed typical without giving up United by creating an equalizing goal in the last minute.
Clear. The results of the team facing a 3-3 draw at home to Switzerland is not a positive outcome. Sir Alex Ferguson had already demonstrated his wrath on the media. Imagine what kind of hairdryer treatment he did in the locker room. United cessation makes us recall last season. Chelsea throughout the season are able to keep winning and creating a lot of goals. Then? They began to repeatedly hit and ended the season without a title.
This weekend, the Red Devils will be looking for evidence yourself. Still overshadowed by injury, although reportedly prepared to re-Hernandez victory over Norwich City became an absolute target. Because, let's face it, United is more often a waste of points just like that when faced with this kind of team.
What should be done Phil Jones and his friends? It's simple. Return to appear confident and find that they have more touch of the start of the season until the first round to face Chelsea two weeks ago. Because after that, United did not look the same.
The competition is still very, very long. United also still do not feel what is called defeat. But two successive draw of the team that on paper they should be able to sort through after hitting team Arsenal, Spurs, and Chelsea could become a kind of yellow light for them.
An early warning that if not careful, they could coup early domination by the other team in the near future.
