Posted: Mon Dec 21, 2009 3:23 pmA good team playing with 10 men should be looking to get something regardless of numerical inferiority. We can't really complain about red cards, for one Mascherano is often a card waiting to be shown and just a bit lucky he doesn't get more yellows and reds, and for two we got something like 10 or 11 in our favour ie shown to opponents, last season.
Our problem is creating and scoring chances, not scoring much more than a goal a game recently. We might stick 7, 8, 9 or even 10 past Wolves and then go back to scratching around for goals and consequently results. The mancs are struggling without diving portugeser, we are struggling more without a lesser player and perhaps it highlights we were fortunate and playing above ourselves last season
