I know we've got 2 months left of the campaign to play for but what i want to know is what would be your 2 points of the season so far be ? mine would be the hammering we got at home erarlier in the seson by Man City, at that point we were playing some excellent football, it was like the treble season all over again but that defeat gave us a kick up the backside we needed at the time and i must say the players have done excellent since that dark afternoon at Old trafford. My other turning point would have to be the Chelsea game at Stamford Bridge, when were 3-0 down i was thinking to myself we weren't playing badly, we dominated the first half, and Chelsea should've had Gary Cahill sent off on his home debut. When Chicharito scored to make it 3-4 that felt like a huge moment in the title race a bit like when were 2-0 down at Aston Villa last season, that goal at Stamford Bridge has kept us top of the league. Do you agree/disagree with my choices ?
Agree with both matches being an important factor in this seasons title race. The game against City, we were abysmal and that crumbling defeat gave the players a reality check. The game against Chelsea was just incredible, 3-0 nil down and we came back to draw the match.
Winning at the Emirates and WHL,in one game went 1 0 up and had chances to kill it off before they had equalised and then we all know what happend from there,and in the other game being totally outplayed but was clinical and scored 3 goals,Also having Scholesy return
The Newcastle game was a bigger turning point for me than the City one. Everyone expected us to give a response after losing to Blackburn but we didn't. That's when we realised we needed to put up or shut up. I think it was also that game that prompted Giggsy to give the dressing room a bollocking and SAF to get Scholes back. Also the Giggs goal against Norwich - that was a vital moment to keep us in touch with City and keep the pressure on.
