Had there been a fully fit squad of players yesterday Agger would have replaced Carragher, and Kelly would have played the full game. Why is no one bringing this up?
Any manager who spends £110m to strengthen his squad can NOT complain about an injury to a defender, especially when the opposition is the worst team in the league.
Ferguson earnt the right to more time because when he took them over they were in the relegation zone and he improved their league positions. Before kenny opened the cheque book we were in 6th - £110m later he's managed to 'progress' us down to 7th! 2 very different stories and 2 very different sets of circumstances. Besides, ferguson is a one off and succeeded because of his talent not because his bosses were patient.
If 'time and patience' are the keys to success why don't we just stick any old duffer in the hot seat and watch the league titles roll in once we've tolerated a few years of dross? If the 'time & patience' was as important as some people make out then how come Wenger, Mourinho and Ancellotti have all beaten Utd to the title in recent years? How long do we have to wait....is it until our manager has been in charge for longer than all the others? if so, david moyes must be due a league title as soon as fergie retires!
