Nearly every player at United has been poor in fairness.

This is where I struggle with the 'best in world' tag.

How many of the other best players in the world could you imagine struggling so much and being so ineffective immediately after what has been hailed as their best season ever.

I just think the players are restricted within the system, the players we have are all flare players that can turn a game on its head in an instant yet NONE of them seem to be allowed to express it on the pitch. It's like this posession has sucked the living life out of them.

I would really love to see Carrick partner Rojo in defence with blind/fellanai and herrera in the middle and a front 4 of Rooney, Mata, Young (on current form) Di Maria, and just let carrick supply the ball quickly to our front 4 instead of this 20 passes across the back and middle before it gets to them.

I really think we should be playing something similar to what Liverpool played last year, **** possession, get the ball to the front 4 quickly and sit back and let them do their thing.

with blind/fellanai and herrera in the middle

at risk of repeating what ive been saying since August, but Daley Blind is not good enough to be top level CM for us. he is decent on the ball, but its "tom cleverly at a higher" level decent in terms of its just possession, sideways/backwards or long balls forward.

Blind/Fellaini are two of the slowest players in the premier league - to have them as the mainstay of our midfield sums up our problems IMO. great squad players to have, but not first 11 midfielders.

if we are to progress to a new level in the league and Europe, we need to sign a new midfielder. seen as LVG seems to think its in the Rooney mould, perhaps we actually need two - one creative and one holding.

at the momemt, weve plenty of possession but are doing f*ck all with it. we need to get Nani back and playing at 2011 levels also.

Am I missing something as to how that relates to United?

At the very least it shows what a team with high % possesion stats should look like .

Maybe Louis should play a few games so he can run his experiments without burying a football club.

(and just let carrick supply the ball quickly to our front 4) He has never supplied ball quickly to anyone before, he noticeably slows the game down infact. But i get the idea of having him at the back to play the ball out as opposed to the anywhere will do attitude.
