I find it extremely amusing to read all these comments about how teams come with the aim to only defend at OT. And how maybe 4 5 1 is the best way to tackle this. COme on !!!!!!!
United has been the most successful team in the last decade and teams ALWAYS came to OT to defend. Yes, sometimes we had a problem over a game (Like Chelsea and and Peacocks goal) but overall we have been able to consistently break these teams down and beat them (always with a 4 4 2 remembering the Ipswichs, COventries etc) and it was never a fundamental issue
This issue suddenly coming to fore is IMO a sign of a lack of penetration in our forwards and maybe an indirect sign of Fergie admitting himself of a lack in depth.
Any Comments???????
