Formations of the teams. MU tactically ease past the portugese side, but poor defending cost them two points and the group's first place.
So, how is it possible that Man U leaks lots of goals recently and Phil Jones is compared with Beckenbauer and such? Hype and overhype?
Jones played too many games recently, that's the reason, why he is underperforming now. He nedds rest, that's obvious.
They concedes too many goals because of the bad midfield-defence, Man Utd don't have a real destroyer in the central of the midfield. The pressure is enourmosly big on the defence, they concede many shoots, and they have to protect De Gea as well, a Ferdinand-calibre defender can't trust in a goalkeeper who misses such lot, as the spanish.
Van der Saar's boots are too big to fill for any keeper let alone a kid. Ferguson must change his game plan accordingly otherwise he'll see more and more points dropped.
Manchester United and Chelsea are currently running the risk of dropping out of top 4 in Premier League and I can't see their CL campaign being more glorious either.
