Ahead of our third home game of the season, Nemanja Vidic has spoken of his desire to wrap up another three points and go on to a winning streak.
He acknowledges we’ve had a tougher start to the season than our rivals, in terms of fixtures, but hopes that we can continue winning, so that we’re on course for another title when our game in hand is played.
“The international week broke that momentum,” said Vidic, “but now we have West Bromwich Albion and I hope we can win. We need to keep winning, we need to maintain that run. It won’t be easy, though: West Brom are a good side and they play good football.”
The Serbian centre-back says there’s little margin for error after a less-than-perfect start to the season.
“I’d love to win six or seven games in a row, even more,” he added. “Last year we didn’t have the best start and the same has happened this season. Liverpool and Chelsea have started very well and we need to follow them. I must point out that we had a very tough schedule in the first few games: we played Liverpool, Chelesa and Blackburn away, which are all tough fixtures. But we’re very positive, we have a good squad and I hope we can continue winning.”
If United play really attacking today, i would have thought we would score a few goals… hopefully 4-1 or 5-0…
If we can do that today, and the goals are shared out especially between Rooney, CR7, Tevez and Berba.. (and would love to see Anderson get his first for the club), then confidence will be right through the team.
If that happens i can see us going on a big run right through xmas…
We got Arsenal in a few weeks, and think it will be perfect time to play them, and then we got Citeh… burst there bubble again for them.. plus we will be right up for that.. after the 2 daylight robberies last season.
Rio and Vida will command the back as usual… and i would love to see Rafael playing at Right Back today.. to really make it attacking as we know how good Evra is on the left.
With regards to the Dippers… well there only real threat is out for 3 weeks Torres… so i can see them having some tough close games… as they have been going on good momentum… but everything goes through Torres so its gonna be a sticky November for them i think.
For Chelski… well unfortunately we do expect them to be right on our arses all season.. but fergie was right… a lot of there players are ageing.. they sold SWP to Citeh, thinking they were gonna get Robinho… and Ballack is out injured along with Deco.. Joe Cole and Malouda go hot and cold and Drogba aint anywhere near to match fitness (ps.. do you not think he looks like Grace Jones?)
I do not think we have anything to worry about.. if we win our game in hand, then we are 3 point behind, with both the dippers and Chelski gotta come to OT… plus take into account we would only be 3 points behind if these to shiters dont drop any points.. which is defo gonna happen.
