... I overlooked your mind reading ability, oops.Sir Alex rarely comes out and says that a combination of starting players arent doing enough. And if he felt the midfield were doing just as bad he'd have said so. He picked Berbatov and Rooney out for a reason. And since that time he's seen fit to change it. It couldnt be more clear what he thinks.
Other players and combinations are doing exactly that.
Hmm lets see played Wigan Chelsea away and Liverpool away since those comments. Wigan game you can hardly say they it was a glittering performance against a team that defends like crap. Chelsea they looked good when Scholes was playing well in the first half but, then petered out when he tired out - which illustrates the point that the forwards do well when they have support. Liverpool - All 3 of them were on the pitch for the second half and hardly troubled the Liverpool defense, again because we were being dominated centrally.
Against Marseille we dominated the CM and when that happens it allows the forwards to come into the game and make an impact. I find it strange you don't think the play behind the forwards has not been a significant reason to why we've been so poor in the attacking 3rd for our away matches. Just because SAF hasn't said it doesn't mean it isn't true or are you now saying the only true assessment of our play is if SAF has outwardly said it in the press?
