Post Blackburn 2 - United 2 :What the hell is wrong with our defence?

It seems that United's problems at the back continue. We shipped two goals for the third game in succession! Stam and Neville (G) were dropped for last night's game, with Ronny Johnsen and Wes Brown in the centre of defence. Giggs gave us the lead after a wonderful pass from Seba Veron, Blackburn equalised through David Beckham (Yes really!)
Then former United winger Keith Gillespie drilled a superb shot from the corner of the box before finally Beckham managed to score at the right end with a wonderful, if not controvertial free kick (Not only was Short dismissed 4 second yellow, but Beckham took the kick before the ref whistled). Also doing his best to throw the game was Fabien Barthez, who's upfield dribbling was twice caught out by Blackburn's £7 million striker Conradi Grabbi, though he failed to capitalise. Overall a great game that most people in England didn't get to see. (PPV £5 + ITV was only allowed to show 3 mins) Blackburn certainly look stronger than many people expected and in the end we were thankful to rescue a point.

Mike.

Sky's coverage, was already very frustrating last season...
And this year it's even worse believe or not .. it's the worst they've had
You had to wait until midnight to see the goals on Bburn v ManUre, & Fulham V Sund.
+ They haven't got the Natiowide leagues anymore, which is really shody.
And I live in France so I don't get ITV

it's just an over the top reaction. we never start the season well and always look bad in defence, last season we only had 5 points at the end of august and still had won it by christmas. I just hope they're in the swing of things by the time the UCL starts. on paper the defence is good, they just don't seem to talk to each other

Hopefully this will mean that they won't run away with the league by Christmas this year
