All teams in the league have their issues at the min Chelsea are going through their problems, so are Liverpool and the rest of the league tbf. Its much tighter now due to lack of quality in the top teams so an away win really isnt that easy anymore. We also lack a pacey forward imo someone to run in behind and stretch teams Berba (who i will give praise to, as i believe he has lifted his game) stands and recieves the ball he's never gonna outpace any defenders. I feel when we get Valencia back we should pick with his pace causing trouble away from home Edited by manu22, Dec 28 2010, 11:53 PM.

Why would you want Fletcher for a game like that anyway? Espiceally in his form. Not much Nani can do about being injured. |

Fletcher at least offers more than Gibson and who else was available? Sorry mate but that's bollox about Nani. He was supposed to be ok according to Fergie. Regardless of all of Rooney's misgivings he would want to play and badger the fork out of Fergie to play. Ronaldo was exactly the same, and there you see the difference in character between theim and Nani. |

Berba played well but after his goal he thought he could take on the whole of the Brum team on his own instead of playing others in. But I don't see the forward line as the problem, more the midfield and something psychological in our defending towards the end of matches. |

Why not play Giggs CM and then play Obertan wide right? Nani would have bene on the bench f he was even nearly ready. Why take a risk if he isn't 100% with basically the only winger we have atm. |

Or even ANdo + Carrick in CM and play Chico up top with Berba. Loads of options. |

Thought Nani and Fletcher didn't start the game? I was fast asleep at that point. Oooh oooh Soler, guess what? The window WAS open! Spoooooky. The fact that this isn't a problem you're experiencing at home makes it harder to understand. Arsenal have a tendency to throw leads away as well but we do that anywhere, home or away. It's a thing throughout our team. United though are like two different teams this season. |

Yeh I said at the time Obertan should have played. He could have started, got us the lead we needed and then taken him off after 60 mins depending on how the game went. I don't buy that 100% fitness, was Fletcher 100% fit? He should have been there, no point defending him just for the sake of it. |

They didn't. Fletch was on the bench, Nani wasn't. |

I do our team is usually about pace and stretching teams as a central midfielder myself I wouldn't relish having Rooney and berba to pass too. I'd much rather be able to hit balls into space for players to run onto and berbs ain't outpacing no one |

Fletch was ill, he didnt have an injury there is a difference. I think picking on those two players is pointless tbh cos I dont see how it shows any lack of commitment. |
