You are responsible, Sir Alex

Manchester United is out of the Champions League.

Yes, the famous club has been unceremoniously kicked out of Europe's premier competition after their 1-2 defeat against Benfica last night.

There has been a lot of blame throwing following the match, mainly from the media. The usual suspects list has been narrowed down to Christiano Ronaldo and Rio Ferdinand.

While I agree that Ronaldo could have played a better role last night and that Rio is increasingly looking distracted and getting caught unawares more often, I don't think the blame lies solely with them.

One of the reports mentioned "Ronaldo was given the responsibility to dribble the ball towards the box and feed Ruud Van Nistelrooy". Why? Is Van Nistelrooy incapable of taking the ball to the box himself and finishing? Is his job just to sit in the box and await feeds from his collegues?

In my opinion, Van Nistelrooy is a piece of SHIT! That's right, I said it! It had to be said. All the idiot will do is to stay near the box and wait for the ball to be passed to him. If you look at the number of times he gets the ball in the midfield, you will see that he almost always never manages to dribble the ball away towards the goal and the defenders take it right back.

The only reason Van Nistelrooy has been successful at ManU is because they had Beckham to feed the ball into the box for this idiot to finish. And they don't have him any more. And they don't have Roy Keane any more, either.

Look at the people ManU has. Scholes is a natural striker who is being forced to play as a midfielder. So is Smith. Giggs, Ronaldo, Park are all very good wingers. Two jackasses in the form of Ferdinand and Silvestre form the heart of the ManU defense. There is no proper midfielder, no one who will make the play, who will lead the team. No one to orchestrate the game for them.

And that is the sole responsibility of Sir Alex Ferguson. For a club the stature of ManU, they deserve a lot better. Instead, long standing fans like me are increasingly getting frustrated with the way the club is playing.
