Difficult day for depleted RedsSir Alex Ferguson rued "a soft goal" and "a killer" strike in the aftermath of defeat at Fulham.
While the manager acknowledged the impact of United's ongoing injury crisis, he also felt aggrieved at the way the Reds gifted a breakthrough to the home side. Paul Scholes' uncharacteristic error enabled Danny Murphy to step forward and despatch a shot past Tomasz Kuszczak, who slipped in the process of trying to save it.
"We lost a terribly soft goal for the first one and that gave them a platform to build on," admitted Sir Alex on MUTV.
"It was important for them and it was a bad one for us. It was an uphill fight after that, and then the second goal right after half-time (scored by Bobby Zamora) killed the game. That was a killer for us. We didn't anticipate that."
Coming just seconds after the restart, Zamora's strike made it difficult to assess what Sir Alex might have said to his team at half-time in tactical terms. With United now trailing by two goals, the boss felt compelled to change his personnel - sending on Dimitar Berbatov and Fabio for midfielder Darron Gibson and the inexperienced Ritchie De Laet.
"When we went further behind, we had to change and go to a back four - with young Fabio at right-back, and Darren Fletcher and Michael Carrick at centre-backs - because we had to chase the game," Sir Alex reflected.
"The referee made a poor decision for the third goal (it came from a free-kick) but by then I think it was very difficult for us. We couldn’t get behind Fulham at all, they defended very well, they were organised.... it was a difficult day for us really."
输给富勒姆之后,爵爷对“一个轻易的丢球”和“致命的进球”表示后悔。
爵爷承认了曼联持续的伤病危机所带来的影响,他也认为曼联在惨败的过程中有些冤枉。斯科尔斯反常的失误让丹尼·墨菲带球突破,一脚射门穿越了库兹恰克的十指关,后者在扑救的过程中滑了一下。
“我们第一个球丢的太轻易了,这给了他们继续发挥的空间,”爵爷在接受MUTV采访时说。
“对于他们来说这个球很关键,对于我们来说很糟糕。之后是一场艰苦的恶战,第二个球发生在下半场刚开始(由萨莫拉打进)杀死了比赛。这对于我们来说是致命的进球。我们没有预料到。”
下半场刚开始后数秒萨莫拉的进球,让我们很难判断爵爷在中场休息时所布置的战术是什么。当时曼联两球落后,爵爷感觉必须做出换人调整——换上贝巴和法比奥,替下中场吉布森和缺乏经验的德拉特。
“当我们大比分落后的时候,我们必须换人,加固后防——年轻的法比奥出任右边卫,弗莱彻和卡里克搭档中卫——因为我们必须改变比赛。”爵爷表示。
“主裁做了一个糟糕的判罚导致第三个进球(这个进球来自任意球),但是当时我想情况对于我们来说已经非常困难了。我们完全没办法打到他们身后,他们防守的非常好,组织严密……对于我们来说今天真的是艰难的一天。”
