Manchester United 1st congrats to swansea on a
well deserved win, they executed their game plan
perfectly and exploited the defense brilliantly,
specially through blind's channel

I- Positives:

1- shaw and darmian have been consistently
good this season and will only improve from here
on

2- mata is the only player who merits a regular
starting place in the attack

3- herrera proved time and again that he should
be a starter

4- schneiderlin will prove to be a very good
transfer as he grows into his role

II- Negatives, and man there are a lot of these:

1- romero: although he's been solid so far this
season, he was rarely tested, and today he
proved that he's not the answer, he's not
confident enough, specially with the ball at his
feet, his distribution is below par, and he lacks
concentration at key times, he will improve for
sure, but he's not the number 1 united can rely
on

2- defense: smalling is very good and had to
work twice as hard today to cover for blind, who
for all his qualities, is not a central defender and
his weaknesses in the position were ruthlessly
exploited today, so van gaal needs to buy a
defender to partner smalling or man utd will have
nightmares against even better opposition this
season

3- midfield: shweini needs more time to build up
his fitness and get used to the pace of the EPL,
and shouldn't be a starter at this point as carrick
is a more viable option now

4- attack: aside from mata, the forward line is
severely lacking in form and specially creativity,
depay needs more time and experience as he's
still making many wrong decisions and taking too
much time on the ball, and rooney is very slow
this season, whether in his movement, 1st touch,
or even speed of thought

5- fellaini: he can be an efficient weapon in
certain circumstances, but he lacks the
intelligence and technical ability to be the solution
for united up front

6- van gaal: his substitutions were terrible,
removing schneiderlin and keeping shweini, or
removing mata who was the only player who
looked to make thinks happen, and even if rooney
is the captain, he shouldn't play 90 minutes every
game regardless of his form. and for all his talk
of following a philosophy, united's play look
random and with no real direction

III- What to do before the close of the transfer
window, van gaal should let go of his
stubbornness and:

1- either keep de gea and return him as no 1, or
sell him and buy a replacement in lloris who
would be perfect as I don't think cillessen is the
answer

2- buy a defender to partner smalling, garay or
laporte would be the best

3- buy a right winger with a goal threat and move
mata as number 10, griezmann or reus would be
brilliant if unlikely to come, even lucas moura
would be great but also difficult to get at this
point

4- buy a pacey technical striker to ease the
burden on rooney and rotate/substitute with him
in certain situations

there's no width in city's left side too.....silva or whoever that plays there cuts in as well.
football has evolved, the full backs should provide the width when we are attacking. the reason we don't create enough is because the lead striker does not stretch the defence. the lead striker should be running towards the opponent's goal while managing to keep onside. by this, the defenders would follow his run and this would create space at the edge of the box for the floating 3 behind rooney to operate. when mata or depay has the ball, rooney runs towards them cos he gets too attracted to the ball.....that is what is stifling our attack.

immediately chicharito entered the pitch on saturday, the thrust of the attack changed wholesomely cos he's the type to stretch defenders. rooney is too fat and too slow to stretch or threaten any defender. wilson would offer us more bite than rooney can do these days cos he lacks the pace. even strikers without pace can become a target man.......by receiving passes with their back to the goal, holding the ball till the support arrives and playing a pass into the box. rooney cannot do any of these things. he's the poorest player in the BPL when it comes to short intricate passes, his first touch is zero and he cannot control any ball thrown at him.

coogar:


your brains are lagging behind, bro.
rooney should shoulder all the responsibility in that attack. he's the arrow-head. it seems you people don't know the function of a centre-forward. everything in that area of the pitch should naturally go through rooney. you have a striker who cannot make the ball stick to his feet, a striker who cannot hold the ball long enough to allow runners breeze past him and he cannot tread an intelligent pass in the form of a through ball to feed his runners.

on top of that, rooney is now too slow to receive the ball either aerially or on the ground. rooney has no pace again to get behind the opponent's defence line or play the last man. he has lost all these attributes so how exactly do you expect us to score? rooney is part of the spine of the team in that position and when the head is infected with a virus, it would affect the other parts of the pitch. man utd are fine until they get to the final third and the attack breaks down whenever rooney gets the ball.

defenders find it very easy to play against rooney cos he offers zero threats to them.

coogar:


your analysis would have made plenty of sense but rooney hasn't found the net as a striker in the last 10 competitive games. reframe your analysis to capture the last 10 competitive games that aguero, giroud, costa and harry kane have played for their respective clubs and tell us what you find from it. that should be a very simple task for you.
