*Official* Useless Bottlers v Swansea Match Thread- Teams & whatever

I actually think Rene is useful. He's apparently done a lot of good work with the young players down the years at United. Whether he's cut out for working with the first team at the top level is another issue, but I think he actually does do some good work.

Phelan is just a clown. Hard to imagine what kind of tactical input he has at training sessions and team meetings. "You need t'get in t'box more Waz. Get yer fookin' bonce on end of those fookin' crosses, lad".

Neville's book describes the level of detail and planning Queiroz put the team through in preparation for the games against Barcelona. Before the Rome final the following year, the players were shown a DVD of all the goals Barcelona had conceded that season. "Do that"

Add wide players who outside of Nani are rather limited in their creative options.

With Berbatov going I am not sure that Rooney/Welbeck and Hernandez is quite good enough as a group to challenge for major trophies. The 2 younger ones are both very raw still, Welbeck has some superb games and a lot of poor ones, Hernandez is limited. Add to that Rooney playing as a deep lying striker and not really suiting that role and there are a few areas that need to be improved this summer.

Ill help you out, its not.
