Do MU's defenders play worse match by match?

I don't think you can blame just the one position. It starts with the manager and moves onto each and every player, if the midfield was doing their job the ball would most likely be away from the defender and if the strikers was able to apply pressure it would ease off the defenders. when it comes to defensive errors it's a hard job to deal with and I think people target them far too easily, it's similar to goalkeepers too. Although I do think Man Utd need a younger one that can establish themselves within the team.

Fingers will definitely be pointing at the defenders. But soccer is a collective game. They win, lose or draw as one. So the whole team will have to bear the blame.

I would not blame the defenders alone. I think Man U all these years used to maintain a high line meaning that the mid fielders would dominate possession and most of the time the game would be played in the opposition half. So if they went up a goal, it would be really difficult for any of the opponents to make a come back. Unfortunately the midfield for Man U is no longer as dominating which means that the defense is constantly under pressure and that is really beginning to show!! The howler from Van Der Sar was really the worst of the lot!! Cheers! Ram

Really bad performance for mu. I think this is a bad mentality of the team not for only defender or goal keeper but whole of the team. Mu have a new tradition now there is so many draw in final result of the game. The good news is they undefeated so far.
