Da manic one
The win is great, couldn't be sweeter, but when did we become a counter attacking side?
It's because we have no midfield.original muppet said:Nothing wrong with counter attack, but why the hell have we started this long ball crap. Our defence are starting to boot up the pitch all the time now.
It really sucks.
Quite right. There's a huge gap in midfield for which we have to compensate.bergzen said:It's because we have no midfield.
That explains everything. Thank you.bergzen said:It's because we have no midfield.
It's because Fletcher actually plays the long ball better than he does the short pass, and when O'Shea is in midfield he never wants the ball so Rio and Brown have no choice but to boot it forward if they aren't playing it out wide to the fullbacks.original muppet said:Nothing wrong with counter attack, but why the hell have we started this long ball crap.

True, it does suck. I hate that kind of football, and we're actually very poor at it. To be fair, we've only been doing it a lot since Scholes has gotten that knock on his head - there's no one in the midfield who is actually a good passer of the ball.original muppet said:Cheers. It really sucks.
