Message to Rafa

I'm here...

to defend my team...

Except i can't because i don't actually know what happened.

They simply fell apart (combined with Liverpool being resurgent). I would have taken 2-1 defeat, but being humiliated 4-1 at home by our biggest rivals hurts - it hurts bad, and will take something to get over - I'd rather have got knocked out of Europe than lose to Liverpool at home - seriously...

I have a couple of possible explanations

1. United were complacent - and assumed a draw would have been enough

2. Liverpool so needed to win that they played their socks off.

3. Liverpool were still on a crest of the wave that was the Real Madrid result (they too, a big club must be reeling a bit)

4. United's defence, which was at fault for three goals, and a sending off was also so complacent after the long run of results... this showed

5. Vidic has been bribed by Mourihno to scupper our season after not being banned for 3 games.

United should still win the league, but the difference between losing 4-1 and say 2-1 at home is massive... and it could psychologically harm them - its certainly harmed me!!

I wish I could brush it off but its not that easy... Fergie thinks we played well, possibly in parts, but it wasn't good enough, and 4-1 was flattering but it happened and Liverpool deserved the win - lets just leave it at that. Rafa will be smiling, lets hope at the end of the season or in the Champions League we can shove the result back in Rafa's bearded face.

the only concelation should come at the end of the season when we should reclaim the league but if this has damaged the team then that is something to worry about... we need a game soon to bounce back

not a good weekend to be supporting the Red Devils..
