Horror Comeback

Arteta completes a horrifying sight for United fans

This is unbeliavably frustrating. All I gotta say is don't count your chickens before they hatch. Or rather, before the final whistle is blown. Even when you have a two goal lead in the 91st minute. It's nice to see late comebacks especially by United but when comebacks come to haunt them at the other end instead, it's produced in the most stupidest fashion ever. Here we have Moyes getting all wrong with his selection and they were 1-0 up first. Fletcher equalised nicely and allowed both sides to be all square at the second half. When Vidic hit in the 2nd and Berbatov the killer 3rd, it looked set for the coffin to be sealed and done. Then Cahill equalised in the dying minutes, and I thought, well, that could be a consolation goal and that's where 2 goal cushions come in handy to deal with a late goal like this.

It was as if Murphy's law sprang into life at that moment when the worst possible scenario played out. Fresh from the restart, Everton came racing down and Arteta completed the comeback by forcing the equaliser into the back of the net just within the minute. That was 3-3 from 1-3 down for the home side! What in the world were the defence doing? Once again, United were snapped in the butt, unable to hold water because of defensive lapses. That's 4 precious points dropped from 2 should have been confirmed victories. Moyes has gotten probably one of the greatest escapes of his career and yet he's so greedy that he had to invade the field to argue with the officials that Everton could have gone to win the game had the referee not stopped the play. Geez..be thankful!

I would say that Berbatov had a fine game and continued his good start to the season with 4 goals under his belt. It would say that Ferguson made a good judgment sense by taking account into the mental aspect of the game by leaving Rooney out, with him taking note of the flak that Rooney will get from the Toffees, who seemed to be sworn enemies with him the moment he left them. Rooney's gotten used to the flaks but this time, it's more stinging that usual considering the probe into Rooney's rather promiscuous off-field life which would be subjected to plenty of ridicule from the crowd. The defence meanwhile seems to have lot of lapses even without Ferdinand. Neville is too slow to catch up with the pacy speed of the Everton midfield and the most epic fail has gotta come from Evra. I can't understand why Patrice went acrobatic kung fu in the air to stop the invading Everton players at the first goal when a simple tackle will suffice. 4 matches played may be early but somebody's gotta stop the Chelsea juggernaut!
