Fergie lined up cautiously against teams like Liverpool - occasionally playing someone like Jones in midfield- he did it the odd time against other strong teams- that pitiful game against City we lost 1 nil and an 8 point league comes to mind.... he never.... and I emphasis never.... played with what was effectively a back 6 with Mhiki and Mata as de facto wing backs especially against a team like Arsenal... when he did tighten up it was never like Jose's approach
never in his management did he approach a game against a team so mentally weak with such a negative outlook
the team selection issue is the same - and this has been the issue in the easier games as well - rather than play a creative, fast attacking player he's picked a team with safety in mind, paying too much respect to a team in my view
our main issue this season has been our inability to score and invariably this ends up with hoofball with Fellaini/Ibra trying to knock the ball down for others which is ridiculous - you don't mind the really direct approach with 5 mins to go but with 20/25 at times - thats just silly for me
I expect a lot more from Mourinho as well as the players next year
