Ferggie Should Stop Experimenting

You make some good points on Berba, but I was okay with the decision to start Chicharito at Stamford Bridge. My guess is that Fergie thought Chicharito could expose John Terry’s lack of pace and stretch the defense… he did the latter and allowed Rooney that space in between the defensive and midfield lines to operate. It’s all a matter of opinion. But I agree, like most would, Chicharito had minimal direct influence in the match.

I bet Berba starts at Anfield, especially considering his success versus them this season.

I’d be extremely worried if Fergie unveils a ‘4-4-2’ shape versus the Scousers b/c they’re more likely than not to play with a 3-man defense. This would give them a major tactical advantage. Here’s why if you haven’t seen our preview yet…

Talk about unfair officiating, the Arsenal vs Sunderland game is another point of reference. As much as I didn’t want Arsenal to win (I even predicted a shock defeat for them), the assistant referee’s offside call on Arshavin actually leaves much to be desired. It shocks me that rather than address these unacceptable shortfalls from match officials, the FA is busy charging great managers for improper conduct. Tell me, whose conduct is more improper, the managers’ (who express their dissatisfaction over bad calls that affect the results of games they prepared hard to win) or the FA and their match officials’ (who seem to be making more and more wrong calls). I think it’s high time someone told the FA that football is a passionate game, which involves people’s emotions. They should stop toying with people’s emotions and allow the managers to express themselves. Afterall, everybody is entitled to freedom of speech and don’t forget it’s a game! If players and managers can be critcised why can’t we criticise refs too. It’s high time this hypocrisy stopped. You needed to see Mr Wenger’s eyes yesterday, they were redder than Ferggies after the Atkinson horror.
