Yeh I see what you mean, I prefer a traditional number 9 too tbh. Fair point, but we still need a midfielder to make those passes

SAF made a massive error playing Giggs ad Rooney wide. Both of them where always going to cut inside on their stronger foots, and with Brum having so many back and being so compact they were just coming into too many bodies all of the time, the game neeeded to be stretched with someone who would stay wide like Obertan.

Okay, I just realised Nani and Fletcher didn't play. Might be unfair to question their commitment unless they have stated they didn't want to play. I don't think Ferguson would take any flaking out from either player. I reckon he felt he just didn't need them. |

NO good whining and bitching about it now. You dismissed Birmingham and it cost you 2 points which they deserved. How very arrogant

Splitting hairs imo, even you joked Fletcher was probly out on the pi55, and there wasn't much made of Nani's injury and Fergie said it wasn't serious on Sunday. I'm not picking on them at all, but with the quality of the squad in midfield those players are needed. You can tell how hungry players are at times like these, when there's a run of games in the middle of a freezing winter and I'd expect players like Rooney and in the past Ronaldo to be playing and performing through the pain barrier if they have to. I just don't see that from the likes of Nani and he's not the only one. Even Evra looks disinterested atm and Carrick could be sleep walking the lack of effort he shows. |

I think the attitudes of the opposition now have a lot to do with it. If you look at the league, there seem to be a lot of 'smaller' teams working really hard on not losing at home, which means it's not going to be easy for bigger teams away. United started dropping points away from home early in the season and maybe a rot set in from there. |

Im all out we just need a decent passer and someone who can command that midfield get rid of Gibson, and Carrick. Fletcher as much as i like him should really only be a squad player. Im extremely looking forward to the summer i think there where be a major over haul

I take it you're on a wind up or suffering from short term memory loss
