will have a check next leage game i go to

the problem we have is that with Queiroz we are playing negative tactics and trying to hold onto leads.. we look far better going forwards than we ever have down trying to defend.. it's been the same the whole way through our history.. it was always a case of if you score 2 we will score 3.. now we have an ageing team who are being told to play differently to how they have their whole career and instead of playing 4-4-2 with wingers like we always have and been fluid we are now too narrow.. we never replaced Beckham and the only winger we have is Giggs who has been off form for 2 and a half years.. played as a striker as well and too old to go past anyone

our younsters aren't quite there yet, although i don't think they can do any worse than what we have and should be given a chance. Rossi, Pique look pretty good and we have a few others as well
agreed on all but giggs, i think giggs is one of Utds best performers when hes in the team hes always lively and always turning defenders heads. With age his injuries have become more frequent but if he can get a run in team him on left ronaldo on right and ability for them to switch wings we would be on right track.

i agree the problem is being too defensive and being happy with 1-0s when we cant even hold them.

we still need a few top class central midfielders. and what wingers can we get
