The Man United defender Rio Ferdinand has told the press that his team were terribly disappointed that they didn’t beat Arsenal by a very wide margin on Saturday after being totally in control of the game from start to finish.
He said: “We should have finished that game off ages ago. That’s the most disappointing thing, If you had been in our changing room you’d have thought we lost the game, the way the mood was. At the end of the day it is three points. I thought it was the best shape we have had for a while, this season, and we defended as a team. That showed in the amount of chances we created but we should have maybe had the game won by five, six or seven but it wasn’t to be.”
Sir Alex Ferguson felt exactly the same and thought that United should have used the opportunity to boost their goal difference with some glaring misses and even the missed penalty by Wayne Rooney (Thank God RVP didn’t take it!). Fergie said: “We lost on goal difference last season and I don’t want that to happen again, we should have scored five or six or maybe even more than that. I’m disappointed by our inability to hammer home the advantage. You look at that scoreline and think it was a close game but it wasn’t.”
“It looked as though it was going to be self-destruction. It only takes a second to lose a goal. They had some possession without threatening us but thank God we got the second one because with them scoring right on time, it would have been an embarrassment.”
What does this say about Arsenal? That Fergie would consider a draw against Arsenal as an embarrasment? Since when did we become pushovers to a team that used to fear playing the Gunners every year……..
