1. Ask our opponents to slow down the tempo, and don't close him down when he get the ball.
2. Don't use Keano.
3. Don't allow Becks to move into centre.
any more?

that won't happen until atleast January.. plus, SAF never sells off a bad buy.. he'll make them good, prove his critics wrong then sell them later.. so i predict that Veron will be with us for a long while yet.

I think it may not be very practical. Firstly he is the second highest wage player in our squad, so the management just won't allow Fergie to use him only in a dozen CL matches in a year. Secondly, What should we put Veron when the CL is in winter break? He is not snake, so he can't simply go to sleep during this period.

He should be used in rotation same as everyone else then. GOod point about the break - I'd forgotten that.

maybe there should be a new way to sign players on "part time" contract.. during the winter break we can send Veron back to Italy to help out Lazio in their league.. Veron will get to play the games he likes all season long, we won't suffer this much in the league and we'll have his expertise available in ECL!
What a fantasyland thought.. never going to happen though..

So you also agree Veron wasn't impressive in the first year? Then why an unimpressive player can continue to occupy a starting spot? The situation now is, he is ineffective for 90% of league matches, yet he started in 90% of the leauge matches, which is the biggest problem. If Veron is benched like Forlan (and everyone else) do when they don't play well, then we don't mind to give more time to him at all.

He also need to gives full strengths when tackle and not afraid to get hurt.</strong><hr></blockquote>
the corner kicks strategy could be a change.. i feel he should have more opportunities to take the freekicks as well.. SAF is more biased towards Becks in this case IMHO...
but the improving skills and stuff, that's too long term.. we need something immediate.. we might not have forever to improve the situtation.
