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???????
 
I think that SAF is right... Winning a match 1-0 is not really enough for a big team like Man Utd... and above all he wants to kickstart the team, hope that today is D day, it's gettin' quite concerning...

Common' Guys...

Good point and I just wish to add that at the end 1 - 0 is not bad for the three points. However that leaves us vulnerable like against Boro in the last 15 minutes and more costly against SUnderland....Especially whe we HAD THE CHANCES TO SCORE!!!!!!!
 
Sunderland are a poor side, and a distinct possibility for the drop despite Reid making some decent signings at last.

Dropping two points to them was very poor.

Bolton beat us last year when SAF fielded a weakened side. I cant see him making that mistake again. He better bleedin not as I'm going !

Come on!
