Our Away Form?? Hmmmm
...Interesting post-match interview with Fergie today.
He made a point of saying he expects more away from OT from Wazza & Berbs. We'd be cruising to number19 if our away form was anywhere close to what it should be. I think the problem lies in midfield, but I can't put my finger on it exactly. We just look so vulnerable & nervous away from home. Not quite sure why this is the case tbh. |

Anderson is not good enough to play for us. he offers nothing. We've missed fletch this season, immensely, in my opinion. |

Re: Our Away Form?? Hmmmm
One of the main reasons for our away results being so poor is because of the lack of shooting by our central midfield players. It's pitiful, whether that is to do with tactics or personnel I'm not sure.
Carrick has yet to score or assist this season. Edit 3 league goals between Anderson, Scholes, Fletcher and Carrick..:shakehead: |

Re: Our Away Form?? Hmmmm
I think it started by throwing leads away in our first 2 away games. After that we've looked nervy, disjointed and seemingly afraid to try to take the game by the scruff of the neck in case we £#%&! up. It's become a self fulfilling prophecy in contrast to our home form where we generally look confident and always likely to win. It's a strange one

If anything it's Fergie's fault for not revamping the center of midfield last Summer, or the Summer before, after the result in Rome. |

Re: Our Away Form?? Hmmmm
The fact is we have too many midfield players of limited ability.
None of Fletcher, Anderson, Carrick or Gibson have been able to nail down a permanent spot in the side. Then we have Scholes and Giggs, who are both wonderful on their day, but have to be rested regularly. This means that Fergie never really knows what our best midfield actually is. Inconsistent selection breeds inconsistent performance. I still think we need a couple of midfielders in the summer of real quality that can nail down permanent spots in the starting XI. The problem is that we don't have the funds to get the type of quality we need. |

Reckon Scholes will retire, and it's probably the right time. |

i don't want to dislike anderson. i have no reason too. thing is for me, he does nothing when we're not in possession, he doesn't tackle anywhere near enough, he's loose with his tracking and marking and he offers nothing in attack. he does play the simple pass quite well though and he does have his head up but its not enough. not for for me. he's useless in a 442 and that speaks volumes to me. |

I've defended Carrick in the past and I still think he is a very intelligent player who helps sure up the defensive side of our midfield, but he doesn't offer anything attacking-wise anymore. Its a side of his game that's really dipped. He works well with Anderson in a midfield two as Ando likes to push forward whilst Carrick sits back to provide defensive cover, but Fergie only goes for that system against weaker teams who can't dominate us in midfield. Against the better teams we look weak centrally with that midfield two, which makes me question whether Carrick is good enough for us. |

His best performances this season have been in a 4-4-2. I agree with you to an extent though. He still hasn't got me fully convinced. I love his energy and drive, but he certainly hasn't developed as well as Nani has. The juries still out on Anderson IMO. |
