Formation and team selections
This is where our problems come from. Sure there are players in the squad that should be shot in the centre circle but I honestly believe we have enough to be better than we are if the right players are picked in the right positions.
Valencia at right back is far from perfect but his form has been good this season, honestly how many from the prem would you take over him? 1 or 2 at most. Shaw at left back, form has been poor but he is a quality player, needs his form and confidence managing after last seasons injury, doesn't need singling out after a defeat. Smalling and Bailley at centre back (pre injury of course) is a decent pairing, Smalling had a bad game today but was protected by one holding midfielder that's not a holding midfielder. As a pair there aren't many in the league you would swap for. Midfield should be a 3, Herrera, Carrick, Pogba. Both Herrera and Pogba would be better suited to a 3, neither are completely comfortable in a 2. Full backs provide width and the outside forwards drop in so as not to be outnumbered. Front 3 of martial (left) Rashford (centre) and maybe one day Mikhitaryan (right) but until then Lingard. Not a perfect 11 but certainly capable of performing a hell of a lot better than we are right now. |

It's about players before formations. It's staging that Carrick isn't get more games but soon enough the press will cotton on and be clamouring for his selection, and then the pressure on him to immediately turn things around will be ridiculous.
Also wondering why Schneiderlin never gets a look in. Geanted he's no worldie but hes a decent midfielder with a lot of experience. Surely couldn't be worse than Fellaini. The persistence with that Belgian @#%&! is horrifying. |

But yeah the bit about Fellaini is spot on. |

Our team selections and set ups make things harder for us. We play clowns in defence. Fellaini in midfield. And a striker with little movement or pace. The team in the original post would solve some problems. |

Then what? Then we all start picking teams with our 'dream buys' in & start talking about the next window. Di maria will make everything alright Pogba will make everything alright Griezeman will make everything alright etc.. We've run out of United players at the Club. Rooney & Carrick are the last link to a great side and Fergie is no longer here. It's going to take £#%&!ing years & we'll all piss & moan about it on here as long as it takes. |

his game plan was only fit to be slung out of the window. he is anti-football. |

Player recruitment is one such place where the club needs a plan, identifying what we actually need and how we intend to use them. For years now we have bough players with no plan of how we are gonna use them. |

Out of that starting line up- Smalling isn't good enough Lingard isn't good enough Carrick is 35 and can't play every week Rashford is 18 and to rely on an 18 year old to be your main goal scorer would be madness We SHOULD be challenging for a champions league spot and that sadly is where we belong at this moment Agree about player recruitment. |

he is NOWHERE near good enough to be our main striker. would be absolute suicidal. at the moment he isn't showing much more than running with the ball, most times quite aimlessly. it would be like city playing kelechi as their main striker... (they are both similar age and at the same level ability wise....) |

It's about trusting an 18 year old kid who will likely (just like every other 18 year old player) dip in and out of form. |

and if you're going to challenge next season in the CL as well then even less than none. |

he is young and wouldn't be starting games at any of our title rivals so why the hell should he be starting games for us. he should be treated like kelechi, brought on if a goal is needed, or once we are need to change things and allowed to develop his game. in the last few games he has been as poor as rooney was before he was dropped and its not his fault as he is a young player but its obvious he should be starting games. he was tried up front in that europa game we lost...and was bullied and a (-1) in terms of presence up front. |
