The problem with the diamond is the two up front, it just leaves the midfield and defence too exposed, now Carrick is back I would like to see us go back to the diamond but with Carrick sitting in front of the back four and just one up front. Would play Bind, Di Maria and Herrera in midfield and then take your pick from Mata, Januzaj, Fellaini or Rooney as the number 10 and Falcao, RVP, Rooney or Wilson as the striker.
That for me gets the most out of the players we have and gives us plenty of people playing in their preferred positions, Carrick and Blind are also good enough and intelligent enough to shield the back four and ensure we don’t get caught out defensively. The big problem is it means leaving out a lot of the higher profile players but I think we are at the point now where we have to do that in order to improve our passing and the tempo we play at, on Saturday I thought Fellaini, Rooney, Di Maria and Januzaj all looked uncomfortable and restricted, I see why LVG did it but I don’t think it is the answer for rest of the season.
