Our pressing game was good today, even up the the last 5 minutes. However, our midfield deficiencies were highlighted again. There is a severe lack of control in the middle of the pitch, and as a result we have to play a very laboured game relying more on individual brilliance than on team performance. There is nobody to dictate a tempo for us, instead its all very slow and lethargic. Often, our creative players find pockets of space in between the opposition midfield, but our midfielders do not take the pass, instead opting for a different approach and I just sit there and wonder why?!? Hell, even Cleverley picks up these positions! Its one the reasons I think Kagawa hasn't been successful but hopefully we'll find someone to fill that role for us.
We're also finally looking like a David Moyes team when we attack. We were very narrow, with the fullbacks providing most of the width and our wingers tucking in centrally. It was nice to see, and hopefully we'll kick on from here. Need to improve the runs we make still. Instruct the players to trust each other, instead of standing there expecting the ball to come to your feet.
