Re: manchester united are not an attacking team
Hang on...
We went to Anfield without a really defensive midfielder, played 442 with wingers and we're not an attacking team? When they played 4-5-1 at home? I think we played a good formation - it's just that Giggsy can't run any more and Valencia has a lot to learn. |

Re: manchester united are not an attacking team
Forgetting results ( win or lose ) when was the last time we actually put a good dominating performance away from home against a top team domestic or in europe?
I actually can't think of any for the past 5 years ( or even more ) bar the inter game last season. Even in the games we have got favorable results like barca or lyon away in 08, we have just played like shit defending for the 90 mins. every other top team has done that. milan routed across us twice at OT, barca played wonderfully at OT, liverpool and arsenal played superbly at barca and madrid. when will we do that? I want to see united as dominating an away match. I don't think it will happen ever with fergie's tactics. I think this is what rob smyth is alluding too although he hasn't put it in the right manner. |

do you feel confident about the game at stamford bridge. I think the best we can hope for is a draw. I think it has come to a point where we are satisfied with a draw in our away games. |

although one interesting aspect is the closest we have come to good result and good performance against top teams is arsenal away. May be because they have a poor midfield like us? |

Re: manchester united are not an attacking team
We would be if he allowed some of the youngsters in when there's an injury to Roon etc. Cant understand why he rushed back from Moscow to see the Reserves the other night, they played well and showed more thrust and pace up front than United did on Sunday.
SAF is becoming more and more cautious as time goes on. |

Re: manchester united are not an attacking team
I always thought the real "Eureka" moment wasn't the Madrid game in 2000, but the following season, where we struggled in Europe generally because teams had learned how to play against us, and Bayern dispatched us in the knockout stage with ridiculous ease
That was when Fergie decided he wanted Veron, you know Oh, and dismissing our performance at Arsenal last year is £#%&!ing ridiculous. Catch yourself on, mate |

'1. manchester united are not an attacking team' i agree with his sentiments, but to say united have been sextonian or not an attacking side for the whole of this decade? not buying that. |

We just need that little something, that spark and we'll be off again. Not sure what it is though. Could be Obertan. |

Back on the debate; aside from the Arsenal and Inter games we failed to put in decent away performances in 08-09 but anyone who can't remember how well we played in Rome, Arsenal, Liverpool away 07-08 needs to give their head a shake. Sextonian? I don't think some people realise just how £#%&!ing dull that was. |

Re: manchester united are not an attacking team
Big Four clashes away from home. Going back to the start of the 2005-06 season, our record is:
P13 W2 D5 L6 F9 A15 Which instantly proves that the league is WON by beating all the other teams in the league & doing well at home. What an amazing insight. As for the 'not an attacking team' stuff... we morphed into something of a 'one man team' over the past 3 seasons because of the undeniable fact Ronaldo was the best player in the world & we had the best defence this country has ever seen (statistically...) so we'd rely on his inevitable goal & work to our strengths. We should & desperately need(ed) an attacking, goal scoring midfielder this Summer, apart from that I have no qualms about the attacking ability of this side. |
