Manchester United produced another display of naive and uncertain defending as they threw away a simple victory against Everton to allow them to leave Old Trafford with a point. 

With Manchester City winning their game against Wolves, they are just 3 points behind us and this makes the Manchester derby on April 30 a title decider. I’m sure lot of people who are into sports betting would be following that game very closely. 

With a 2 goal lead, United looked certain to win the game comfortably. However, a sudden collapse not only made the last 10 minutes nervous but in the end it frustrated all the United fans around the world. 

This is the seventh time United have conceded three or more goals and it perfectly reflects the defensive frailties of our back four. Maybe, it would be harsh to say but Rafael Da Silva and Jonny Evans were dreadful in their roles. 

After the game, Sir Alex Ferguson said, “We’ve thrown a game away that we should be coasting and seeing the game out. But we didn’t, so we have given ourselves a difficult task.”


I still believe we will win the title but what really frustrates me is to see a champion team unable to finish off the game and give away soft goals. We’ve done that several times this season – in the Premier League, in Champions League and in the Europa League as well. 

Manchester United plays some of the best football and our goals are scored by playing good football. The harder we work for our goals, the easier we make for our opponents by giving away soft goals. 

We seriously need a few good solid defenders!
