What I will say is that if I am West Brom and I see Fellaini getting taken off at half time, I am probably happy to see that.
Do they still get people out of the crowd to take half time penalties at Old Trafford?We need to get a goalscorer like Falcao on the pitch
What I can't understand about him when he plays deeper, he's a natural striker and you'd expect him to be driving forward in the final 3rd and taking some speculative pot shots, but he isn't. If he was playing like Herrera and Mata, who are driving forward and creating chances, then we might be ahead by now.Rooney has offered nothing
Although I agree we better not concede any corners after that.What I will say is that if I am West Brom and I see Fellaini getting taken off at half time, I am probably happy to see that.
I thought he looked good. 3 decent efforts so far. He's done more in 45 minutes than Falcao has done in months.Get Falcao on for the second half. RVP looks rusty.
Individual creativity, someone who can beat the man in front of him. Then someone has to come across to cover and leave space which you ideally exploit. Once you've scored they have to come out. We should throw Di Maria on.Just out of curiousity what tactic can actually beat a parked bus?
How can you spray forward passes when everyone's behind you!?Everybody blaming Rooney,Valencia and Fellaini but Herrera for instance hasnt been spraying forward passes or sthing.
Yeah, no denying that but it's a bit of a moot point though - if we're going to struggle to create chances with 70-80% ball possession, teams are just going to sit back more and more in future.If West Brom actually tried to play a game of football, we'd be slicing them in half.
RvP is getting closer and closer, Falcao has barely offered anything in a long time.Get Falcao on for the second half. RVP looks rusty.
Stick pereira in there he will actually attempt something. All Rooney and fellaini are doing is going sideways!That's the last tactical change we need to make. We need somebody in midfield, alongside Herrera, that is prepared to play a pass into or over the top for Van Persie.
Rooney further up will just contribute to more crosses and an easy day for the West Brom back four.

Yea this is something I can't fecking understand. They're all Stoke-ish when it comes to height yet we insist on those shitty crosses every single attack.Average height of WBA's defenders: 191cm. The shortest defender being 188cm. almost no use to go through the air.
Rvp is behind him?How can you spray forward passes when everyone's behind you!?
Pulis is a bit like Maureen, without the cups.If West Brom actually tried to play a game of football, we'd be slicing them in half.
He's too hesitant to have a pop. RvP messed up that counter but Rooney had the space to shoot himself in the first place. Why are we restricting him when we're playing a team content with defending all day? Take the shackles off, push him higher up. We shouldn't need his defensive work in this game really.What I can't understand about him when he plays deeper, he's a natural striker and you'd expect him to be driving forward in the final 3rd and taking some speculative pot shots, but he isn't. If he was playing like Herrera and Mata, who are driving forward and creating chances, then we might be ahead by now.
It seems to be touch, pass, touch, pass, touch, Hollywood pass etc etc
I genuinely believe that Herrera has played more forward passes than Rooney, Mata and Fellaini put together.Everybody blaming Rooney,Valencia and Fellaini but Herrera for instance hasnt been spraying forward passes or sthing.
Beating your man then passingJust out of curiousity what tactic can actually beat a parked bus?
