Don't by this lack of creativity stuff either.
Our play doesn't go through the center any more, if anything it's a change of the times. Given that's how united won the league last year I'm all for it too.
Strikers weren't good enough today, Theo the best, Gervinho positive, but there final ball is annoyingly bad given the positions they got into a number of times in the game. Same deal with vs Newcastle. Front 3 just weren't at the races.
First half OK, 2nd Half painful. Really not looking forward to this season given what I've seen so far.
It's not only creativity but the ability to exert control through possession. Central midfield is absolutely key in this.Originally Posted by AKBapologist
Don't forget that for many, Utd won the league by default last year as much through the failings of others as their own play.
At their best Utd played with 2 forwards, Rooney and Hernandez both of whom drop deep with the all front 4 able to interchange. Flexibility in attack (something we're often accused of lacking) is as much a factor as any system or style of play in deciding whether you score goals against the variety of opponents over a season.
Oh agree that we're missing center mid pass masters, but you don't need to dominate games to win them.

That is all.
