Manchester United have now gone an incredible three months without
conceding a Premier League goal, leaving their tally at ten from 24
games in total.
That puts Sir Alex Ferguson's men well on the
way toward breaking Chelsea's record of 15 goals shipped in a season,
set when they won the 2004-05 crown under Jose Mourinho.
Edwin
van der Sar has been central to the Red Devils' stinginess, and he
reckons the rest of England's top flight are shaking in their boots at
the very thought of trying breach United's back line.
The Dutch goalkeeper said in The Sun, “When we go 1-0 up, teams think ‘Oh s**t here we go’.
“That’s what we want — fear in the opposition. That’s what we want — fear in the opposition.
“It’s a great achievement for the whole team.”
United currently lead the league, with two points and a game in hand on second-placed Liverpool.
Somehow I feel that the lads are trying their best to keep their record going every match. The last few matches after scoring one goal, they are still attacking, but it's been quite a while we see a high scoring score in Man Utd's game!
So which is better? Score more goals and concede more, or score lesser but having a great defence? Or both?
score more concede more.
i prefer last season's "scored-4-goals-in-consecutive-games" run.
Score more, concede less. 4-0, 4-0, 4-0 all the way
just get the 3points.. if all the way 3points, win title..
but if don't conceed, it builds confidence..
