The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 International reiterated that the Red Devils need to stop conceding early goals if they are to secure silverware at the end of the season.
Manchester United’s 3-1 win over QPR on Saturday might have looked good in scoreline terms, but that was the end of it. The 19-time English champions failed to get into top gear at Old Trafford and went behind after Jamie Mackie’s strike after half-time.
Sir http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Anderson-c5565 and Javier Hernandez in a bid to turn things around.
After securing victory on nine occasions despite conceding first, United turned on the tempo and orchestrated a classic comeback, which has become their hall-mark this term.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Darren-Fletcher-c10361 obliged by putting the ball into the back of the net.
Substitute Anderson showed his supreme fitness after gliding past three QPR defenders and played a sumptuous through ball to Chicharito, who kept his good form going with a clinical finish.
The score-line reflected poorly on the match and was inaccurate in displaying United’s performance, as they had struggled and stuttered mostly uptil the 60th minute.
However, the deep problem lies with the goals they concede and now talismanic forward Rooney has urged the Manchester outfit to get over their defensive woes and concentrate on keeping clean sheets this term.
"I don't know why it is but it's happening too many times. We need to just go out now and try to get the early goal. As soon as we get a goal, the team settles down and the game settles. But more often than not we've conceded first and made it hard for ourselves to try to get back in the game then go on and win it,” said the attacker.
Returning midfielder Darren Fletcher also cast his opinion on the matter and claimed while conceding was a bitter reality, they had always fought back and managed to win, which is something positive but should not be a regular feature for the team.
"The only positive thing we can take from it is that every time we do it we seem to respond. But we can't keep making a habit of it,” the Scot was quoted as saying.
