I am at a loss for words.....fourth and the last Champions League spot is for sure out of our reach after last night's result...!
Even winning the europa league will be scant consolation for a really dogshit season!!!!
If MU win the title again this season and thereby get the record 19th championship, then the demise of our great club will be complete....
Guys, forget Istanbul 2005, thats gone....what is needed now is re-building and by that I do not necessarily mean a major overhaul of the squad (although I do acknowledge that we will have to bring in more pacy and skillful players who can dribble and beat opposing defenders as we really lacked creativity and width in our overall play this season).
What I mean is to get in new owners and certainly a new manager. If the owners cannot be bought out, then at the very least change the manager to another that doesn't tinker with his players so much and play them out of position week in week out, never quite knowing who his best 11 is!!!!
In my view, our current squad isn't the best, but it is still enough to get 4th spot in the league. The fact that we are not falls squarely on the shoulders of one Rafa Benitez, who has I feel, lost the confidence of his players by his inexplicable selection of players for most of the games this season. For instance, if I could speak to Rafa in person, I would really like him to explain to me why he plays Gerrard (who is our best central-midfielder) behind Torres and Kuyt (who plays as a striker for his country) on the right wing. Then there's the selection of Lucas.....wtf I wonder is Rafa thinking????
I think I really needn't say much more. IMHO, its time to ring that change, Istanbul or no Istanbul!
