Eduardo...one of the most natural, clinical, effective finishers I have had the pleasure of watching. He had that natural knack for goal like all the greats do, like a Romario. Never the same after the injury that derailed him right as he was on his way to becoming one of the top strikers in the world.
Agree 100%. His potential to be a great was right there. That leg break ruined him. You could see when he came back he wasn’t ruthless, he was frightened of another injury. Honestly one of the biggest regrets in Wenger history, along with Diaby. Both of them could have been world beaters.

Secondly, Eduardo injury devastated the team confidence and performance they would have clearly won the league if he wasn't ruthlessly injured.

Fourthly, watching how the team played makes you want to lift Arsene name ones again for producing some magnificent memorable football.
@@yohannesmisikir7056 Watching that I noticed how many van Persie and Rosicky goals were scored in the 1st half of the season. The Eduardo injury was horrific, but keeping vPersie, Diaby and Roskicy healthy would have helped. But wow, how good was Fabregas...at 20, just wow.
@@yohannesmisikir7056 i guess so, but we were well clear with enough quality to sustain what was a very healthy gap, i think around 8 points, plus Almunia aid in a latr interview that the injury (and Gallas being a child) was the major factor behind the collapse
Not having that as an excuse at all. These were top level Pros. As horrific an injury as it was injuries are part of the game and that's what you have a squad for. We threw it away from GW 27-34 (W1 D5 L2) starting with that Birmingham draw. I would be utterly disgusted as an Arsenal supporter to hear any of our former players during that season come out and blame that for why they didn't win the Prem that year. Talk about weak mindedness and lacking character and resilience 😤.
Our previous season reminded me a lot of the 2007/2008 season. Good thing is our current star players are all on long term contracts and we do have the money now unlike in 2008 where Man City were signing all of our best players for fun.
Manchester City doesn't need any of Arsenal current players,non of them would be guaranteed starters for City in important matches. It's evident Manchester City squad players,bench warmers would be upgrade to the Arsenal team,just like Zinchenko & Jesus,couldn't be guaranteed game time at City but are superstars at Arsenal
@@sidhantsheela8520 most PL clubs do that though lol where do you think the debt comes from? Apart from oil states, owners arent going to gift free money out for transfers like its a charity.
@@PaulinKenCattleFarm let's be honest they are both no gaurenteed places at Arsenal especially now. Zinchenko isn't that good defensively, he is great offensively left back is not his best position. Part of the reason we brought Timber. Jesus is probably a gaurenteed starter but not if he still struggles to score many we may trossard or someone else instead. Jesus is great but not for a gaurenteed 25+ goals every season.
Technically, in comparison to the likes of Fabregas, Van Persie Rosicky, Hleb, etc. Flamini was nowhere near their level, but in terms of his overall contribution throughout the season, he was a stalwart going on memory off of the top of my head. Had to do a shift at full back for a good portion of the season when we had an injury crisis at the back and performed quite impressively if I'm not mistaken. He actually ended up winning our Player of the Season Award would you believe for his performances which tells you all you need to know about how integral he was and is full credit to him when you bare in mind that he was not at all a technically gifted player but was playing in a side that was littered with such players across the pitch and during a season from what I would say was the most pleasing on the eye as an Arsenal supporter in the context of playing attractive attacking football with an emphasis on such technical prowess since I started regularly following the club from the 04/05 season. Hleb, on the other hand, was such an elegant baller. He was top drawer technically. His balance, close control, vision, disguise, feints, and swift drops of the shoulder that he would do when he was dribbling were great to watch. He's on the record publicly as well, saying that the worst thing he ever did was leaving Arsenal and going to Barcelona or something to that effect. He doesn't get talked about enough by fans when talking about this period. Most fans from other clubs probably don't even remember him. Very underrated and underappreciated.
We were so unlucky that season in missing out on the PL title despite playing great football and scoring great goals. It was so unfortunate that David Dein left he knew,how,to negotiate to get new players for our club.
Because Wenger is kinda perfectionist. He always tried to make number order without gaps. The same thing did Ferguson, real madrid and Barcelona. As soon as a number within 1-11 was free. A player with high number got 1-11 number
@@gcgcgcgwell they are not just a numbers. Especially when number 10 was season ago worn by club icon / legend Bergkamp. It was Gallas’s arrogance to ask for that number, but also Wenger’s stupidity. He even made that nutcase a captain after Henry left, instead of club icon Gilberto Silva. Horrendous of Wenger to do that…
Rosicky shoulve worn 10 when he arrives. Hleb shouldve converted to 7 after Pires left. Gallas should take 3 when he areives a season before. Sagna came this season he shouldve wore 13 or other numbers. Gallas 10 is stupid
And now we may finally get our redemption for the lost title in 2007-08 this season. Although having said that, it was around March when the wheels fell off during that season ...
@@Floppy-Phallus Can't really say that, Arsenal had the chance to go something like 9 points clear that day and the penalty that led to two points dropped right at the last minute was never a penalty, you saw on slow motion that Clichy nicked the ball away. Arsenal take 3 points that day and heads wouldn't have dropped to the same extent and Man Utd have a bigger mountain to climb, the margins in football are fine. Arsenal were the best team in the league that season until that BS happened at Birmingham.
@@Longlostpuss Fergie was 3 times the manager Wenger ever was..simple as that...United were always going to win the league..Wenger lost his winning touch where as Fergie never did over a much longer period of time.
@@Floppy-Phallus Wenger was budget for budget a better manager than Ferguson, so not sure where this 3 times the manager business is coming from???? What are you smoking? The only reason Wenger and Arsenal fell off from challenging was because of the Stadium move and the boardroom politics in the background, there was basically a war going on back there and Arsenal were in an awkward position with releasing funds. They naturally couldn't air their dirty laundry out in public, so from the outside it looked like they weren't spending because they were clueless and in decline, but that's not what was really going on. You give Ferguson a little bit too much credit, he always bought his way to titles with really expensive obvious signings. I'm not saying he wasn't a good manager either, just saying Wenger proved how good he was by winning titles on a shoestring budget. Ferguson never ever did that and when you think about it, Arsenal had no business challenging or beating Man Utd to league titles, but Wenger still managed it. So if anything, he was three times the manager Ferguson was, because he had to work MUCH harder to dethrone Man Utd to the titles Arsenal won.
@@seank135who told you united was better, Arsenal was better in all criteria unluckily we didn't win because of Eduardo's injury. It brought our morals down. What a tumultuous injury Eduardo had then
@@didactvani my eyes told me. Ronaldo, rooney, tevez. And unlike Arsenal, that United team never made excuses. They scored more goals, they conceded less goals, they won more games, they won more trophies. They won the champions league without loosing a game in it. They were better on whatever metric you measure them buy. Which is why they played Arsenal 3 times that season. Beat them twice ( one of which was 4-0) and in the other Arsenal scraped a draw in the last minute. That united team was far superior. The table and results and trophies don’t lie.
Whole season went down hill after Eduardo broke his leg. Was a truly horrific tackle. For people saying that’s not why Arsenal didn’t win the league, then take anyone of Rooney, Tevez or Ronaldo and apply the same injury and I doubt Utd would of won the league.
Atrocious referring till now. Arteta has reduced the number of tackles and tried to keep the ball more and play faster. Pretty much how we gone done last season same shit different day. Lets forget to draw a line, blind miss penalties , phantom penalties to opposition etc. And hard tackles not given yellows inured our players like last season.
Ngl I think Man utd had a stronger mentality than us, Fergie wouldn't allow utd to lose focus like that, there's no room for excuses when you chasing trophies, you either win at all costs or lose and make excuses
You’re insanely delusional if you think that ffs. Plus even comparing Eduardo to any one of those players is disgraceful, all of those players were injured at some point during that season too & we made it work lol can’t believe u acc tried to say something so dumb 🤣 Guess we wouldn’t had won the UCL either ay? 😂

@@Secret19977 Anelka at the time had a ‘difficult’ agent (his brother). I don’t think Anelka was necessarily was disrespectful to the club per say but when there was a lot of speculation he didn’t do anything to squash the rumours and he had a perceived lack of enthusiasm! Arsene gave Anelka his big break and to then see what Wenger would maybe perceive as ‘lack of loyalty’ (Wenger is very loyal in a lot of ways) could of been hurtful!
Loved that side of 07/08. The football that season going forward with the likes of Fabregas, Rosicky, Hleb, Walcott, Van Persie & Adebayor was absolutely scintillating. The precision of those intricate & incisive one touch/two touch interchanges, movement off the ball and build up play in the final third at times was utterly breathtaking. That was by far my favourite time being an Arsenal supporter in terms of that electric style of football that we used to play. Just a shame we couldn't get over the line and reward all that exceptional free flowing attacking football with a Prem title at the end of it: ●Going into that Birmingham game which Eduardo broke his leg in we had the opportunity to go 8 points clear as it was an early Saturday K:O on the 27th G/W before everyone else played. ●Including the Birmingham draw we drew 5, lost 2 and won just 1 of our 8 league games in that period which ultimately cost us the title. ●Finished on 83 points (4 points off Man Utd). The 2 we lost were 6 pointers against Man United and Chelsea respectively as well to make it even more painful. Even if we'd just managed to beat United during that horrific run of results it would have hypothetically meant that we would have won the league in hindsight if the 3 points went the other way although obviously I appreciate the entire dynamic of the run in would have been altered by those chain of events. Fine margins. We completely imploded from gameweek 27-34. What could have been 😔.
So amazing to see when Arsenal had such good times back then under Wenger and to see how far they came with some of the most incredible players that will never be forgotten and some of the goals and chances they created back then were absolutely amazing. Really wish Arsenal could go back to being the old team they were creating insane chances scoring such incredible goals because it really doesn't feel the same anymore the whole team has changed.

Yep, 2007-08 went unbeaten at home all season, had a better defence as well and contended with the two best teams in the world that year (Man Utd and Chelsea) whereas 2023 only had one best team in the world to face in Man City. The 2007-08 team were also better in Europe, doing well in the Champions League (2023 was only Europa League). 2007-08 was put together on a pretty small budget and had quite a few young players as well.

What a season? We didn't even win the league we finished 3rd. back then was when wenger started to be obsessed with finishing top 4 every season. We started falling off from our invincible days.
Arsenal were a good side that was Fabregas's best season although he won the league with Chelsea. They were just second best to one of premier league's best ever sides in 07/08 United.
@@juniorgunner501True. Who knows what numbers he would have finished with that season if he'd avoided a few niggling injuries during the first half of that campaign and not fractured his leg to Barca in March and been ruled out for the remainder of the season. I've no doubt that he would have comfortably broken the record of 20 assists in a PL season and in all likelihood would have 20+ League goals to his name alongside it. All from CM at 22 years of age in his second season as club captain as well it's worth noting.
My Favourite Player of All Time: ●Fabregas was 17 years old during virtually the entirety of his breakthrough season of 04/05 and made 33 league appearances (24 starts) in a side just off the back of winning the previous seasons league without losing a game, finished 2nd in that current campaign and won the FA Cup. Just let that sink in. Absolutely frightening 😲. ●Only he and Evan Ferguson have 10+ goals/assists to there names as 18 year olds in the Premier League era who weren't from England. Had to get that one in as an Irishman 😄. ●"Statistics show that in the five years prior to Fàbregas's departure from Arsenal, Fàbregas created 466 goal-scoring chances, made 86 assists and scored 48 goals, all three statistics topping those of new teammates Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, despite both having made more appearances in the same period." ●09/10 League Season: Apps: 27 Goals: 15 Assists: 15 Who knows what numbers he would have finished with that season if he'd avoided a few niggling injuries during the first half of that campaign and not fractured his leg to Barca in March and been ruled out for the remainder of the season.

He was absolute magic.
Eduardo was the kind of man that you could bring on in a cup final and he would score the winner, he was so clinical and before his injury every chance Eduardo had he scored.... *sigh* what could have been
Thank you for everything Wenger. When everyone left, you stayed and sacrificed your great image for sustaining our club through the tough times. Will forever be grateful and loved. Deservedly got a statue too at the Emirates. Thanks Papa Wengz❤
If he had left around that time, our team would have been shit. I mean with the limited resources at the time. Wenger walked to make it possible for Arteta to run. I hope he wins us some titles, EPL and an European trophy to be specific

@@emekaokeke5893 Yeah, a lack of steel, experience & know-how during that part of the season was ultimately our undoing. Taking 8 points from a possible 24 available during that torrid 8 game run is inexcusable & beggars belief for a side that was competing for the Prem. I get fed up hearing our fans using the Eduardo injury as an excuse for not winning the title that season as if that was the crucial turning point that swung the pendulum in Utd's favour & traumatised our players so badly over the next 7 games as an explanation as to why we picked up so few points in that period. Do me a favour 🥱.

He's on the record publicly as well, saying that the worst thing he ever did was leaving Arsenal and going to Barcelona or something to that effect. He doesn't get talked about enough by fans when talking about this period. Most fans from other clubs probably don't even remember him. Very underrated and underappreciated.
Playing Football Manager 2008..Arsenal was a beast team..difficult to beat them
Eduardo, RVP, Adebayor. Wow!
Manchester United 07/08 Season Review will be next
Thank you
Rosicky x Hleb was pure class duo
This is the season I started supporting Arsenal as a 6/7 year old. Probably the wrong season as I vividly remember Henry leaving.
Bro me too
We were so unlucky that season in missing out on the PL title despite playing great football and scoring great goals.
It was so unfortunate that David Dein left he knew,how,to negotiate to get new players for our club.
The fact that Galas asked for number 10 jersey and Wenger must have been like "yeah, why not?" is still mind blowing
Because Wenger is kinda perfectionist. He always tried to make number order without gaps. The same thing did Ferguson, real madrid and Barcelona. As soon as a number within 1-11 was free. A player with high number got 1-11 number
They're just numbers
@@gcgcgcgwell they are not just a numbers. Especially when number 10 was season ago worn by club icon / legend Bergkamp. It was Gallas’s arrogance to ask for that number, but also Wenger’s stupidity. He even made that nutcase a captain after Henry left, instead of club icon Gilberto Silva. Horrendous of Wenger to do that…
Rosicky shoulve worn 10 when he arrives. Hleb shouldve converted to 7 after Pires left. Gallas should take 3 when he areives a season before. Sagna came this season he shouldve wore 13 or other numbers. Gallas 10 is stupid
Thanks for posting this. 07 was the first year I became an Arsenal fan. I remember this vividly.
And now we may finally get our redemption for the lost title in 2007-08 this season. Although having said that, it was around March when the wheels fell off during that season ...
April this time is when the shit hit the fan. So sad
we got this year?
This was the season that started arsenal's decade plus long decline. Things are just starting to look up
Very well said my friend if we had of won the title that season things would have been so different for Wenger and his team of youngsters
When eduardo broke his leg 23:41, that time arsenal start to fall. They should win the title that season, but all player mental were down.
United were always going to win the league.
@@Floppy-Phallus Can't really say that, Arsenal had the chance to go something like 9 points clear that day and the penalty that led to two points dropped right at the last minute was never a penalty, you saw on slow motion that Clichy nicked the ball away.
Arsenal take 3 points that day and heads wouldn't have dropped to the same extent and Man Utd have a bigger mountain to climb, the margins in football are fine.
Arsenal were the best team in the league that season until that BS happened at Birmingham.
@@Longlostpuss Fergie was 3 times the manager Wenger ever was..simple as that...United were always going to win the league..Wenger lost his winning touch where as Fergie never did over a much longer period of time.
@@Floppy-Phallus Wenger was budget for budget a better manager than Ferguson, so not sure where this 3 times the manager business is coming from???? What are you smoking?
The only reason Wenger and Arsenal fell off from challenging was because of the Stadium move and the boardroom politics in the background, there was basically a war going on back there and Arsenal were in an awkward position with releasing funds.
They naturally couldn't air their dirty laundry out in public, so from the outside it looked like they weren't spending because they were clueless and in decline, but that's not what was really going on.
You give Ferguson a little bit too much credit, he always bought his way to titles with really expensive obvious signings. I'm not saying he wasn't a good manager either, just saying Wenger proved how good he was by winning titles on a shoestring budget.
Ferguson never ever did that and when you think about it, Arsenal had no business challenging or beating Man Utd to league titles, but Wenger still managed it.
So if anything, he was three times the manager Ferguson was, because he had to work MUCH harder to dethrone Man Utd to the titles Arsenal won.
@@Floppy-Phallus 3 times? You're over exaggerating fam
appreciated your work very much! i am always looking for this kind of videos about my club!! I hope you can make a video each season!! Thanks a lot!
How did they not win the premier league title in that season ?
Arsenal start fall when eduardo broke his leg, the main reason why they not win that years.
Cause United was better. Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez. Was only one winner
@@seank135who told you united was better, Arsenal was better in all criteria unluckily we didn't win because of Eduardo's injury. It brought our morals down. What a tumultuous injury Eduardo had then
@@didactvani my eyes told me. Ronaldo, rooney, tevez. And unlike Arsenal, that United team never made excuses. They scored more goals, they conceded less goals, they won more games, they won more trophies. They won the champions league without loosing a game in it. They were better on whatever metric you measure them buy. Which is why they played Arsenal 3 times that season. Beat them twice ( one of which was 4-0) and in the other Arsenal scraped a draw in the last minute. That united team was far superior. The table and results and trophies don’t lie.
@@seank135 you're on LSD that's why you're writing jargons
Had Eduardo not get that injury, Croatia would have won Euro 2008.
Nah … come on mate… Spaniards were just different beasts😂
Whole season went down hill after Eduardo broke his leg. Was a truly horrific tackle.
For people saying that’s not why Arsenal didn’t win the league, then take anyone of Rooney, Tevez or Ronaldo and apply the same injury and I doubt Utd would of won the league.
Atrocious referring till now. Arteta has reduced the number of tackles and tried to keep the ball more and play faster. Pretty much how we gone done last season same shit different day. Lets forget to draw a line, blind miss penalties , phantom penalties to opposition etc. And hard tackles not given yellows inured our players like last season.
Ngl I think Man utd had a stronger mentality than us, Fergie wouldn't allow utd to lose focus like that, there's no room for excuses when you chasing trophies, you either win at all costs or lose and make excuses
You’re insanely delusional if you think that ffs. Plus even comparing Eduardo to any one of those players is disgraceful, all of those players were injured at some point during that season too & we made it work lol can’t believe u acc tried to say something so dumb 🤣 Guess we wouldn’t had won the UCL either ay? 😂
Not having that as an excuse at all. These were top level Pros. As horrific an injury as it was injuries are part of the game and that's what you have a squad for. We threw it away from GW 27-34 (W1 D5 L2) starting with that Birmingham draw. I would be utterly disgusted as an Arsenal supporter to hear any of our former players during that season come out and blame that for why they didn't win the Prem that year. Talk about weak mindedness and lacking character and resilience 😤.
@@mutivilimusictv8749 Fergie didn't have to see his player get his leg broken that season did he?
Can you do the invincibles season next?
I always wondered why wenger rejected Anelka he played under him previously and was a good player before Henry arrived
STUBBORNNESS!!
@@humblesmith1215 but why, did they end on bad terms ?
@@Secret19977 Anelka at the time had a ‘difficult’ agent (his brother). I don’t think Anelka was necessarily was disrespectful to the club per say but when there was a lot of speculation he didn’t do anything to squash the rumours and he had a perceived lack of enthusiasm!
Arsene gave Anelka his big break and to then see what Wenger would maybe perceive as ‘lack of loyalty’ (Wenger is very loyal in a lot of ways) could of been hurtful!
This team had very good players and a very good bench. It only lacked a good GK and was unlucky with injuries
Loved that side of 07/08. The football that season going forward with the likes of Fabregas, Rosicky, Hleb, Walcott, Van Persie & Adebayor was absolutely scintillating. The precision of those intricate & incisive one touch/two touch interchanges, movement off the ball and build up play in the final third at times was utterly breathtaking. That was by far my favourite time being an Arsenal supporter in terms of that electric style of football that we used to play. Just a shame we couldn't get over the line and reward all that exceptional free flowing attacking football with a Prem title at the end of it:
●Going into that Birmingham game which Eduardo broke his leg in we had the opportunity to go 8 points clear as it was an early Saturday K:O on the 27th G/W before everyone else played.
●Including the Birmingham draw we drew 5, lost 2 and won just 1 of our 8 league games in that period which ultimately cost us the title.
●Finished on 83 points (4 points off Man Utd). The 2 we lost were 6 pointers against Man United and Chelsea respectively as well to make it even more painful.
Even if we'd just managed to beat United during that horrific run of results it would have hypothetically meant that we would have won the league in hindsight if the 3 points went the other way although obviously I appreciate the entire dynamic of the run in would have been altered by those chain of events. Fine margins. We completely imploded from gameweek 27-34. What could have been 😔.
So amazing to see when Arsenal had such good times back then under Wenger and to see how far they came with some of the most incredible players that will never be forgotten and some of the goals and chances they created back then were absolutely amazing. Really wish Arsenal could go back to being the old team they were creating insane chances scoring such incredible goals because it really doesn't feel the same anymore the whole team has changed.
The season when the refs gave absolutely no protection to arsenal players that's why the injuries piled up.
The refs still don't. A foul or card should be the same no matter the team.

imagine the pull on Hleb in the UCL match ignored at the emirates
Adebayors best scoring days was certainly at the Arsenal
Better team than the bottlers of 23 since 07/08 played the best football in the world plus was extremely young and full of injuries.
Yep, 2007-08 went unbeaten at home all season, had a better defence as well and contended with the two best teams in the world that year (Man Utd and Chelsea) whereas 2023 only had one best team in the world to face in Man City. The 2007-08 team were also better in Europe, doing well in the Champions League (2023 was only Europa League). 2007-08 was put together on a pretty small budget and had quite a few young players as well.

@@oisin5684 spot on!!!!
what a season
What a season? We didn't even win the league we finished 3rd. back then was when wenger started to be obsessed with finishing top 4 every season. We started falling off from our invincible days.
Still, what a season❤
This team was SO GOOD, THE CHEMESTRY between the players were almost and romantic tale.
Arsenal were a good side that was Fabregas's best season although he won the league with Chelsea. They were just second best to one of premier league's best ever sides in 07/08 United.
His best season was 09/10 season 15 goals & 15 assists in 27 apps is mind blowing he is truly a premier league great
@@juniorgunner501 Average stats for Bruno Fernandes
@@jorregritter3669Behave yourself. He's not even close to being in the same bracket as Fabregas. People have short memories as time passes.
@@juniorgunner501True. Who knows what numbers he would have finished with that season if he'd avoided a few niggling injuries during the first half of that campaign and not fractured his leg to Barca in March and been ruled out for the remainder of the season. I've no doubt that he would have comfortably broken the record of 20 assists in a PL season and in all likelihood would have 20+ League goals to his name alongside it. All from CM at 22 years of age in his second season as club captain as well it's worth noting.
My Favourite Player of All Time:
●Fabregas was 17 years old during virtually the entirety of his breakthrough season of 04/05 and made 33 league appearances (24 starts) in a side just off the back of winning the previous seasons league without losing a game, finished 2nd in that current campaign and won the FA Cup. Just let that sink in. Absolutely frightening 😲.
●Only he and Evan Ferguson have 10+ goals/assists to there names as 18 year olds in the Premier League era who weren't from England. Had to get that one in as an Irishman 😄.
●"Statistics show that in the five years prior to Fàbregas's departure from Arsenal, Fàbregas created 466 goal-scoring chances, made 86 assists and scored 48 goals, all three statistics topping those of new teammates Xavi and Andrés Iniesta, despite both having made more appearances in the same period."
●09/10 League Season: Apps: 27
Goals: 15
Assists: 15

●Most assists as a CM in the 21st century ahead of the likes of Lampard, Gerrard, Iniesta & Xavi.
●Made captain of Arsenal at the tender age of 21 as well. He was absolute magic.
Adebayor doesn't get talked about enough
Feel sad for Eduardo, he can be world class player without injury
Eduardo was the kind of man that you could bring on in a cup final and he would score the winner, he was so clinical and before his injury every chance Eduardo had he scored.... *sigh* what could have been
Great time 🔴⚪️👌🏼
forget how goo our attackers were needed a cb n a keeper we had some bad keepers. eduardo was a great finisher
Por qué no confiaron en Adebayor? Tenía cualidades similares de las de Drogba? 👀
Aftv Ty never recovered from this 28:18
Thank you for everything Wenger. When everyone left, you stayed and sacrificed your great image for sustaining our club through the tough times. Will forever be grateful and loved. Deservedly got a statue too at the Emirates. Thanks Papa Wengz❤
If he had left around that time, our team would have been shit. I mean with the limited resources at the time.
Wenger walked to make it possible for Arteta to run. I hope he wins us some titles, EPL and an European trophy to be specific
If Diaby and Eduardo didn't get injured Arsenal's history would have been different, I have no doubt

Rosicky was always injured too....that tough mental side of the game was lacking.....On the emotional side, united with Fergie aside having great ballers were always protected by the ref
@@emekaokeke5893 Yeah, a lack of steel, experience & know-how during that part of the season was ultimately our undoing. Taking 8 points from a possible 24 available during that torrid 8 game run is inexcusable & beggars belief for a side that was competing for the Prem. I get fed up hearing our fans using the Eduardo injury as an excuse for not winning the title that season as if that was the crucial turning point that swung the pendulum in Utd's favour & traumatised our players so badly over the next 7 games as an explanation as to why we picked up so few points in that period. Do me a favour 🥱.
7:20 adebayor what a goal
I know its the season after im talking about but do you think in the 2008/09 fa cup semi final if we stay ahead against chelsea do we win the final?
