Carling Cup jolly ride over

I was expecting this. A tie away from home is always tough and poses a whole different challenge. It was too much for the kids and they just flunked. Burnley had the hunger to win the game more and that was clear during the game. We could have done better, especially Randall and Bendtner. Their goalkeeper had a nifty game and thwarted our forward line on several occasions. It's over anyway, no point arguing.

Now it's back to the league where we have to carry over the grit that we showed at the bridge. Wigan won't be an easy fixture. I hope the team has learned that from the past defeats. An immaculate record in December is needed to catch up with the leaders and the team needs to take it one game at a time.

PS: 21 of the 30 goals which Ronaldo scored in premiership was at Old Trafford. That doesn't mean he was spectacular away from home if some people think that was the reason. Ronaldo deserved it, i'll never question that. But Henry deserved it too. But the fact that he was not recognized is an anomaly.
