Why not? Other top sides do just that, and we play so many games there's plenty to go around, and it's got nothing to do with giving Fred a chance, he is what he is, and what he is is not a playmaker, we've needed to replace Carrick and we haven't, he's badly missed whenever we play a team that defends deep as we need someone to to keep the tempo of the play and pick the passes, none of the CM's we have will do that, so what we do is resort to long ball, which is a horible idea, it's why the points we dropped last year were mostly vs smaller teams looking for a draw as opposed to bigger teams that gave us space.
