Defensive calamities served up with depressing consistency
United's season is finally staggering towards the finish line like a defender chasing a ball over the top. Unfortunately, there are still games to play and United are still finding inventive new ways to concede goals. The prospect of rolling into next season with largely the same defence is enough to give most United fans heart palpitations.
[BBC] United's season is finally staggering towards the finish line like a defender chasing a ball over the top. If it were up to me, we'd have called full-time weeks ago and quietly agreed never to speak of this campaign again until July. Unfortunately, there are still games to play and United are still finding inventive new ways to concede goals.
Last week at Killie and again at Pittodrie on Saturday, it was the same old story. Defensive calamities served up with depressing consistency. Honestly, I'm exhausted by it all.
Tired of watching the mistakes, tired of hearing them discussed afterwards and tired of waiting for someone to actually fix them. As for the idea of signing the on-loan Krisztian Keresztes permanently, absolutely not. That suggestion should be launched into the North Sea, ironically what Keresztes should have done with the ball prior to Aberdeen's first goal.
The prospect of rolling into next season with largely the same defence is enough to give most United fans heart palpitations. Hopefully a couple of new faces arrive and maybe young Charlie Dewar, fresh from his successful loan spell at Alloa, gets a proper chance to stake his claim. But those worries can wait until next week.
