That's the best point made after today's game. We could have won more points by now if he realized it much sooner. The most important for him now is to not fall back into old habits.
He will though, that's the issue. I have been criticizing Kagawa's career at United on the simple fact that Fergie and Moyes have not played the right players around him, which has made his performances look pretty uninspiring to me.
However, go to this game today, and the second 45 minutes is without a doubt the best attacking football we have played, why? It's the simple basis that we had the perfect combination of players up front: you have two intelligent playmakers in Kagawa and Mata who excel in off the ball movement, quick & clever passes and read the game differently to other players; one player with pace, skill and goal threat in Januzaj who can provide those runs at the full-back and has the ability to cross a ball well and shoot (either inside or outside the box); and one player who is deadly in and around the penalty area, makes runs from different positions and doesn't move too much out of position in the form of Hernandez, who did his job perfectly as a striker. If Rooney or RvP put in a striker's shift like Hernandez did today, as well as being a threat outside of the box for extra options, then this would be what we should see next season on a regular basis.
The sad truth is that we have 5 games left, and I expect Young and Valencia to participate in those remaining games collectively (unless Young's injury is serious), and it breaks down our system of attack quite significantly.
