They are hardly rolling over teams this year thought are they? Fulham granted, fell apart, but they have run a s*** load of games 1-0, and with a fair amount of luck - I dont think you can accuses teams of rolling over for a 1-0 defeat?
Didnt say that did I? Players/Managers might think that realistically they are going to lose the game, but it doesnt mean they dont give it a good crack.
or you could say if we had the mentality of the Mancs from the 1st minute we would intimidate teams into submission as well? The way they approach games against "lesser" teams makes it very difficult to deal with, and it makes sense that some teams will be set up to deal with that - nobody is giving up though.
Look, there might be some issues with the officials, but players and managers want to win games. There is no better feeling for a player or manager than beating one of the top sides.
So you are telling me professional managers, and professional players are basically giving up when they play Man Utd, but every other team they play they are up for it?
The sooner we get over this, and start going out there and winning games the better. The Mancs are better than us at winning games, thats the truth of it. Sure, teams do get intimidated but to suggest managers are simply giving up is a load of crap.
