MANCHESTER UNITED AND JUVENTUS SHOW STUFF OF CHAMPIONS
Manchester United's slow start had been critized by some quarters who had compared Moyes reign with that of Sir Alex , while Juventus Champions League performance has been woeful, except that against Madrid of course.Their point haul of 3 in four matches was not what people expected and they have Copenhagen to thank for still been in the chase for a knockout slot. But all those were forgotten as they both showed class in their weekend victories against Arsenal and Napoli respectively. While United showed character against table topping Arsenal winning by a single goal, Juventus outclassed Napoli 3 goals to nil at the Stadio Olimpico. Juventus display against Napoli will be hopefully seen in the Champions league, as they need such performances to progress
MOURINHO AND ALLEGRI HAS TO START WINNING MATCHES REGULARLY
Mourinho must be worried, even if a little bit. despite the huge amount of talents in his disposal and his strikers now finding their feet, they are still slightly off colour in the league. Some draws may not be bad, but considering it was against West Brom and the fact that five other clubs are after the same crown they are chasing, slip-ups are really not an option. His focus for now will be to get a nice point haul in the league, while not derailing his Champions league race before meeting table-toppers Arsenal. That should not be difficult.
Allegri will be more worried however as his Milan has been colourless for most of the season,again. Unlike last season however, where a miraculous resurrection lifted them to a Champions league spot last season, it seems like they may miss the elite competition next year. Why? That is because their competitors have risen their standards with the likes of Inter, Juventus, Fiorentina and Napoli being impressive so far, while Roma has shocked everyone and are currently topping the Serie A. There is still time, but its really looking blea for Milan, and they have to do something fast.
