microcosm

This is what Rafa said after the defeat at Middlesborought. I don't agree with that - it's nearly impossible or who believes that ManU will give away this massive lead? Don't get me wrong, Rafa has the gift to play strategic very well and he can read a game. That's the reason why the team is so successful in the Champions League. It's too bad that this is not enough for winning the PL title respectevily defending the top spot that the club had for a while this season. The starting eleven today wasn't bad, surely, but why El Zar and not Ngog? Why is the better striker on the bench? Instead of pursuing the top spot they have to secure the third place, cause Aston Villa isn't too bad right now. Did I mention earlier that Martin O'Neill is a great manager?
