Just looked at that over the top ball now for the Costa goal in the Chelsea-Arsenal game. Why can't we switch it up and do that for Lukaku more often. No, it has to be tippy-tappy all the way...even when it's not producing results.

 

[BlueToff]

Strength in depth is still our biggest problem.
Hibbert, Besic, McGeady and Pienaar are just not good enough replacements for Coleman, McCarthy, Barkley and Mirallas.

And don't get me started on our strikers - only Naismith comes near meeting that description.

Besic was superb today.

Hahaha well you would be a sh1t gambler then wouldn't you?

I moan if there's something to moan about, We are awful at the min

Because we haven't got Fabregas in our side to do that 'over the top pass'.

 

[streeky]

He's been directly responsible for conceding 3 goals in the last 3 games.
Missed a cross vs Palace.
Gerrards free kick last week.
Falcao's goal today.

If this was Joe Hart, or anyone else for that matter they'd be dropped. You know what, id genuinely bring in Joel vs Villa. He cant do much worse.

is it me or have all our world cup players come back as complete basket cases.

You don't need to be Fabregas though do you?

 

[Saaby]

Besic was superb today.

Thats what I also thought

 

[canuckblue]

We've also played 3 who will end up in the bottom 6.

Really? OK, I'll give you the RS, but Leicester, Palace and WBA should all stay up.

We don't even try though, thats the point. There was a point in the first half where lukaku laid the ball back and spun in behind the defence; the ball went backwards instead of into his run

 

[BlueToff]

That Febregas pass is out of this world. We haven't got anyone who can do that unfortunately. Not yet anyway. Barks, please hurry up

 

[toffeemax]

seen lots of , 'why can't we play like we did in the last 10 the whole match' shouts. quite simply united looked to shut up shop in the last ten, men behind the ball, encouraged us to come onto them. They didn't do that the other 80 minutes.

The amount of times he's screaming for the through ball and it goes sideways does my head in

 

[Muggins]

We're a long way from challenging for anything. Get used to it lads and throw on your shirt.

Playing 3 defensive MFs worked well at Anfield. I was amazed to see him weaken this protection for the back 4 by not putting Gibson in for McCarthy. Our MF marking was nonexistent. We've got to get back to harrying for every ball. at the moment the opposition have all the time in the world to do what they want with the ball.

The same last year, at least change the gameplan once in a while and try feeding him in behind the back four.

I can accept criticism of his hold up play, but not playing to his strength his a major ball ache
