Manchester United shocking loss to Stoke City

February 3, 2014 by 888Scoreonline

This season seems to be one of the worst one for league defender as they are breaking another record every other day – not for their wins but for their defeats. Yes, we are talking about Manchester United and their miserable show this season which continues to be on the peak. Saturday was another disastrous day for them when they could not overcome even Stoke and lost by 2-1. In fact, the win was more memorable for Stoke since it has been struggling throughout the season to be in the highlight and they are right on the top after defeating a defending champions, especially considering the fact that it was their first win against United since 1984. Like always, Mayes is on the point of every United’s fan for his strange decisions inside the field which cost them not just a match but three important points as well. If we compare both teams on paper, United was way ahead than their opponents, in fact, when they started with the famous triplets: Juan Mata, Robin van Persie, and Wayne Rooney, no one had imagined they can even trail at any point of time leave the defeat worries out.

Adam proved to be the lethal for United’s world class army of defenders and scored both goals for his team. Indeed, he won the psychological battle when he fired first goal of the match in 38th minute and then United came on the back foot right in the first half. Though, Persie equalized the lead in 47th minute, but Adam again surged their lead which later proved to be the decisive one. Though, in between, Rooney got one chance to equalize the lead again but he could not capitalize on it and lost the opportunity for nothing.

It was eighth loss for newly appointed manager in last 24 games – a surprising record for any manager who took over Alex at the helm. Leaderboard positions are quite interesting this time than what they were in the last season, City, who used to be chasing United throughout the last season, is now on the top while their arch rivals are nowhere among the top five. Though, Stroke City is also much below on the table, but their unforeseen victory over United is more than enough to raise their head with proud. Looking at the gameplay adopted by Mayes army, it was attacking but could not be fruitful as they trailed right in the beginning and could not recover thereafter.

It’s now up to the manager how he revives his team or makes some enhancements to improve the performances hereinafter.
