Fletcher - We need to convert

23 April 2009 07:37
Darren Fletcher believes someone is going to be on the wrong end of a hiding if Manchester United can start converting the majority of their chances.[LNB] The Red Devils outshot Portsmouth 17-4 in Wednesday's crucial victory at Old Trafford, but only mustered an early goal from Wayne Rooney and late effort from Michael Carrick.[LNB]While Fletcher acknowledges the important thing for Sir Alex Ferguson's side was to pick up the points, he is unhappy they failed to make their dominance count against the Paul Hart's charges.[LNB]However, the Scotland international thinks it is just a matter of time before United click and really put someone to the sword as the race for the Premier League title nears its conclusion.[LNB]"The three points is the most important, but we have to start taking chances," he told Sky Sports News.[LNB]Hiding"I think some team is going to get a hiding from us if we keep playing like that. [LNB]"It's easier said than done. We have to go out there, keep taking chances and winning matches."[LNB]The three-point haul over Pompey sees United usurp Liverpool at the top of the Premier League and Fletcher believes it is easier being the front-runner rather than chasing.[LNB]"It's always great being top of the league because that means you're the team to beat," he continued. "It's always difficult chasing. [LNB]"We've got ourselves in a position now where we're top. We don't play our game in hand for a while so we're three points ahead.[LNB]"We're just taking each game as it comes. We're just looking to Tottenham which is our next match and we'll try and win that."[LNB]
