KaKa Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The potential for this Man U team going forward is phenomenal. The big problem is that the three centre backs are uncomfortable on the ball, and are unable to pass it. Compounding that is the fact that Fletcher is ridiculously bad at getting in position to receive the ball from the back three, in order to then get the ball to the forward players. Just watch Fletcher when the three centre backs have the ball, it's absolutely ridiculous. It really doesn't help because the three Man U centre backs are embarrassingly bad with the ball. Blackett just wants to hit it long. He look slike he can barely dribble the ball when he's on it, and as soon as anyone comes near him he hoofs it or goes backwards. He's a black Dummett.

KaKa Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 If Herrera is playing in Fletcher's position today they would look so much more threatening, as he would be able to get on the ball and get it to the forward players quickly, and to their feet. They're in big trouble as far as centre backs go, because none of those guys want to do anything with the ball. Rojo will be more suited, but they'll need at least one more who is comfortable with the ball. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Away Toon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It hasn't really been pointed out I don't think, but virtually all of MU problems with adapting to a 3-5-2 are because British players are so technically poor and thick to go with it.

The three at the back today are so bad with the ball it's actually making me cringe, and Fletcher is just absent. Crazy how bad they are, it really is.

Away Toon Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 It sounds like the Rojo transfer might be off which would explain Blind. Shaw, Blind and Rojo virtually all play in the same position which would be overkill. Pardew would love it though, 3 LB's. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 The roles need to be defined really, Mata doesn't seem to have a clue what his role in the team is. The system isn't helping anyone either, even if you ignore the fact the defenders they have are not very good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The system isn't helping anyone either, even if you ignore the fact the defenders they have are not very good. Seriously the space the defenders have in front of them to just drive into, and then play a short pass to Mata or Di Maria who are in dangerous positions, and they're terrified to do so. They just slow down, and then start passing sideways or backwards before ultimately hoofing it. Awful to watch. This system definitely needs at least two centre backs who are confident using the ball, be it dribbling with it, or passing it. It's painful watching the current crop in this system.

Mole_Toonfan Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 He needs to realise that this isn't going to work with the players they have. The X factor in all of this though is Van Persie if he's not signed then the decision is easy. That's major hindsight on my behalf though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaKa Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 That little passage of play looked much better. Fletcher finall got on the ball and played the little ball forward. They'd kill these guys if they did that more often. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just take a few more steps forward to draw men off the midfielders, and then pop the ball into them! It's actually winding me up how bad they are at it. I mean these guys do this football thing every day for goodness sake. Wow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
