I'm not denying that we lack creativity. I mean, look at who we rely on for it. Fellini and Rooney are supposedly our link up men/playmakers, and mata and Young the wide players. That's not a very creative bunch at all. So I agree with that in general.
But we completely bossed the game today and on another with some better decision making and more clinical finishing we would have won. I mean, it's not like we defended poorly or anything. Even the goal they scored was flukey as hell.
It lacks unpredictability. LvG wants this instead of playing Di Maria and/or Januzaj who both will lose the ball more and waste it but are also both more likely to beat their man an create something from a stale position.
This kind of football made Fellaini look good in some games but his presence is a hindrance to me. Don't like him there at all, especially with Rooney playing behind him.
West Brom hardly made any mistakes. Myhill saved RvP's shot poorly in the first half but Young, incapable of passing/shooting without taking a touch first, fluffed that chance. RvP put it wide after some good play from Young. McNair headed it wide. Penalty miss and countless shots hitting the first man in the way. West Brom even managed a very good chance with a header from Lescott and another one shortly after that from Mulumbu when neither Herrera or Rooney were tracking him. With 80% possession there should be lot more to the football and a few chances like that.
We'll beat Crystal Palace, because they play football, we might get something against Arsenal and we'll probably get something against Hull. We'll finish 4th. Liverpool won't win the rest of their matches. Their program is more difficult than ours. Wouldn't surprise me to see Spurs finishing ahead of them.
