We lose, I can't sleep because it hurts too much.
We draw like today, I can't sleep because I'm wondering how we couldn't have won. Or like today, how couldn't we have held on for two more minutes. Two minutes for hell's sake!
We win, I can't sleep because I'm celebrating. Celebrating so hard because I just don't know when our next win will be.
That is the United we have become.
But how did we get here? Moyes and his tactics? 46 crosses in the first half! You would think after 20 crosses players would think outside the box (the pitch in this case?) and at least try something else? Or is that not allowed?
I am not so into tactics (I'm not thinking a career into coaching anyways) but after watching our game vs Fulham even I couldn't understand. What's up with all those crosses? Where we going for some world record? There were times I wished for Young to apply his special talent rather than go for a cross. And God knows I'm not a a fan of that special talent.
At the beginning of the season we had issues with our midfield, then we lost our two top strikers and most important players. But all is well now, then our back four decided to put their names into the fuck ups of the season. Can't we have a break? If our midfiel is not shitty, then our forwards are all injured at once or defenders just decide to have a bad day! As one of my fellow Reds on Twitter put it "Lady Lucky flew outta OT". May be @lixos13 is right.
But then, when all failed we used to see players taking matas (no typo) on their own hands and single handledly won us games. It didn't happen on regular basis but they always tried. How else do you think we got that goal from Giggs? I haven't seen that lately, just one player so pissed off with a loss that he will take the ball from our own half to go and score, or at least lose their breath trying. Where is that fighting spirit? Is this also Moyes' faulty?
And as if that was not enough, Moyes had to go and say that he doesn't understand how we didn't get the three points. I recall it was the same thing when we lost to Stoke just a few days ago. I appreciate how Moyes has been honest but this worries me now especially if it is the truth which I think it is. How can a manager not know why we lost then still doesn't know why we drew a week later?
At the end of the day, we all have a part to play when United is winning and succesful. And when we lose, we all contribute to that. Moyes needs to get his shit together, players need to play like they want to win and as for us fans, well, we need to get behind our team. As hard as that is, we just have to. But supporting United doesn't mean you can't be pissed at the manager or players or even fellow Reds.
To Moyes and players, whatever we say, however bad it is just know that it comes from a good place. A place where the UTD logo is permanently tattooed. Tough love? Yeah, that's what this is.
