Eric Djemba-Djemba has echoed the concerns of Roy Keane by saying that
United have lost the fear factor that used to frighten teams into submission.
Speaking to L'Equipe magazine he said:

"People don't see us as monsters any more,"

"It is logical.

"It is just the same with Cameroon.

"We are not invincible any more."

However he doesn't think that United should be written off he went on.

"At the moment, it is a little difficult,"

"Our start to the season has not been great. But we have had a lot of absences
and injured players, and it costs us a lot.

"The season will be difficult, the margin is small, but we can get the national title back and I can state to you we will not be far away in the Champions League.

"I am sure of that."

However with a first half performance like his yesterday is it any wonder teams
are no longer afraid.
