90% of teams play better football than us
He gambled unnecessarily. That team selection looked wrong from the start, that's not hindsight.
Park - not played in months, poor form, possession killer
Giggs - poor form, doesn't have the legs, loses possession way too often
And most importantly - those two paired with:
Scholes - doesn't have the legs to chase opponents, struggles off the ball defensively.
Carrick - not the most mobile midfielder out there, can't operate well enough when pressured
When you've got this, you're setting yourself up for a long night and bar the first 10min when everyone was fresh enough to run around a bit, we were pushed back into our own box. The goal was coming from miles away, everyone could see that.
And one last thing wrong with the tactics - we simply don't have the defence we did three-four years ago when we could've gotten away playing weak midfield and sitting back. - no Vidic, no real Evra, no right back, no VDS.
We weren't a corner mistake away from the title, we lost it at Wigan and vs Everton. Ignored the ominous signs from the WBA, Fulham and QPR games, continued to rely on our back four to see games out and that bollocks finally caught up with us.
