Miseries continue to grow for Manchester United as defence hollow ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 clash
Manchester United’s miseries in the defence line continue as a couple of their accomplished players are injured and Nemanja Vidic got suspended. After the bitter defeat at Stamford Bridge, Manchester United are going to Anfield to face Liverpool.
Manager Sir Alex Ferguson said he was not expecting Rio Ferdinand to be fit for the clash. Ferdinand was injured during a training session before the match between ManU and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952. Manchester United lost that clash which brought an end to their unbeaten
run in this season.
Last night, Chelsea defeated Manchester United in a dramatic 2-1 game at Stamford Bridge. Nemanja Vidic was given a second yellow card in the dying moments of the match and was sent off. Courtesy http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wayne-Rooney-c36736, Manchester United scored the first goal in the
29th minute. However, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Frank-Lampard-c14097 took a successful penalty in the 79th minute.
For the Liverpool clash, Manchester United will rely on their veteran centre-back defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jonny-Evans-c19085, the obvious choice to be installed as defender is Wes Brown. The other option for Sir Alex
Ferguson is to deploy a make-shift centre back. John O’Shea can come to the centre defence and Rafael can start at the right-back. However, Wes Brown has more chances to play as a centre defender compared to John O’Shea.
Wes Brown and Chris Smalling will be partnering against Liverpool in a very important English Premier League super Sunday clash. The 31-year-old Wes Brown has featured in only five Premier League games this season and will be tested on the day. In the five
games he has played so far, the Brit lacked his usual sharpness. Wes Brown’s partner, Chris Smalling, is new to this level and is 10 years younger than his expected partner. Smalling has played just eight Premier League matches in this season, but he certainly
looks much sharper than his new partner.
Ferguson praised Smalling, saying, “We are very pleased with his performances.” The manager added, “I had no doubts about him. He’s done really well for us and is improving all the time. He is developing all aspects of his game because he wants to learn
and improve.”
Liverpool is expected to include their new signing, Andy Carroll, and he will certainly test the defence duo of Manchester United. Carroll is yet to feature in a match for Liverpool. News from the Liverpool camp is that their new striker is fit and has been
sharp in the training session. It is said that his linkage in the sessions with his fellow new-signing, Luis Suarez, is good and will be key in the match against ManU. His presence in the team will certainly add a new dimension to the Liverpool attack.
