Attacking threat!!

Moyes did start off attacking. Anyone remember his first game of his first full season? 4-3-3 Radzinski and Rooney playing off Kevin Campbell...

Didn't last long mind...

Some people think that if you don't play slick fast paced football that it is not attacking football.

We have played attacking football on many occasions under Moyes and we have seen it in many forms. This is just another way Moyes has found to win games.

Is it just me or does it makes a lot of difference moving Felliani forwards, both in how we link up and attack and how weak we are defensively.
Think he was very underated by some at doing the thankless task in the DM role , now he is doing the easy on the eye stuff further up its great to see our linking play improve, combined with quicker players around him we are playing sexy football but we look like every attack against us could well end up in the back of our net.

Yeah, I agree. We look dodgy defensivley because Osman and Neville part like the Red Sea at times. Replace those two with Gibson and Fellaini and it's a much more solid team. Albeit you lose Fellaini bullying CBs which does wonders for our attack.

Neville/Osman are deffo the weak links.

If we've lost Gibson, I'd bring Fellaini back, and put either Mirallas (giving Naismith his right-hand slot in turn) or Naismith in his place.

Osman to stay, but Neville out of equation.

If Gibson is available, keep fellaini where he is, drop Osman for Naismith.

I stand-by for everyone telling me I'm too gung-ho!
