Hang On! Where's The Football?

Maybe it's was preordained. How else would you explain United's win this against the scousers? Everything seemed to pile up against the Red Devils - they couldn't construct a cohesive attack, Liverpool threw everything but the kitchen sink at United's defense while having a lion share of possession for most of the game, Silvestre came on at left back, Rooney was sub-ed due to injury and the ginger ninja saw red. Then somehow O'Shea being at the right place at the right time slotted a deflected shot behind the net to deny Liverpool a much deserved point.

United in the last 3 games haven't played to the level we've become accustomed to see them but yet eeked out wins. This, depending on which side of the fence you belong, may be a good or bad thing but one thing is certain, winning games you have no business winning is a mark of a champion. This was how Chelsea won their first EPL under "the choosen one". Thought I am not hitting the panic button on United's form, they have been playing wonderful football all season and are due for a dip in form, but if they aspire to achieve another trebel this season they need to get off their funk and start playing like old because luck can only get you so far.
