This season our away form has been very bad considering we normally play the same way home or away in previous seasons and we have only won 2 of our away games this season. Can anyone say why we are not winning more of our away games??????.
(We can't afford anything but a win Vs W-brom this weekedend).

Yup, and the FA hates Liverpool and no devision has ever gone their way.

I think the reason we are not winning as many games this season is because we play too negative and can not break teams down when they sit back which teams do. At home we often get a goal to win the game but we don't away, a couple of seasons ago when we really when at teams we could break them down even when all their players get behind the ball.
 
The key to winning away is counter attacking. We are Man United, every team raises their game when they play us. We have to be prepared to soak up pressure and hit them quickly on the break.
The most effective way of doing this is width. Look at the highlights of our 1993/1994 season, 2 quick wingers. The opposition full backs were so scared of the pace of Kanchelskis and Giggs that they could not commit themselves forward.
If you can get the opposition full backs scared of coming over the half way line on their own ground, you will win 9 times out of 10.
 
I wouldn't read too much into it TBH.. no teams play very well away from home (with few exceptions of course) so you can't expect a team with as much struggle as us (both with formations and injuries) to perform extraordinarily away from home.

And recently teams have begun to gain confidence over us thinking they can beat us.. so that would make life much more difficult..

But the tide will turn.. as soon as we gain full confidence playing at home we'll begin to do better away from OT no doubt.
 
With our away form being as bad as it is it even more worrying to see that we have played 12 home games, but only 10 away games in the league so far.

So we really need to pick up on our away form because it looks like that will be the key to the title.
