“The own goals come from putting teams under pressure. If you put the ball into the right areas, it is difficult to defend. When you look at all these own goals there is always a United player coming in behind them who could easily tap the ball into the net. If we can put the ball between the goalkeeper and the defence and one of your players can get on it, great. But it certainly causes problems for defenders and fortunately for us, they have been knocking them into their own net.”

For fun: wouldn’t it be nice to see John Terry splash the ball to his own net at Old Trafford? Nevermind icon biggrin Fletch Explains Own Goals
