is extremely shit considering the amount of money spent on it. How many free headers did Berbatov get today? Fletcher was unchallenged for his goals and I even noticed little Park winning headers in the box. Giggs cut through it at will, and only Given saved them from a thrashing.
So is it because they are still gelling or are they just rubbish?
Thing is, most of their team are either cast offs from teams from the big four or good players outside the top four. Apart from Robinho and Adebayor, the rest are mostly player who weren't good enough for the top teams.
Bridge wasn't good enough for Chelsea.
Lescott is very overrated and would never be first choice for any of the top four sides.
Bellamy wasn't good enough for Liverpool, but i do rate him, i just don't think he's consistent.
Toure was getting worse and worse for Arsenal and they're better off without him.
Richards is not a right back but is a poor defender right now.
Gareth Barry and Tevez are arguable cases. Tevez arguably wasn't good enough for us because we had two strikers who first choice and then him.
I'm not trying to say they're rubbish because obviously they're not. They scored two against us and four against Arsenal. They are good going forward but i'm just trying to put things into perspective. They had such few shots on goal all game, and scored from two gifted goals, we missed a bucket load of chances and on another day it could have been 5 or 6 nil to us. My point is that despite all these signings they still have a lot of players who were rejected by other top premiership sides so their defence for example is actually a bit average.
