Err rooney and nani. I've said this so many times. A lot of our players aren't the best but they do the teamwork and effectively get carried by our best players.
Having players like rooney, nani ronaldo etc often meant we could play directly -;give it to a supertalented individual and let them bomb away on the stokes and swanseas of the world.
Sadly now we have fewer players who can do this and rooney is blowing hot and cold. we aren't playing much worse as a team ( go reach man ltd vs blackpool from last year and you'll see) we are just lacking that sparkle up top. and in net. lets not forget how immense vds was the last few seasons.
Now we have seemingly random defensive line ups with players out of position all over the shop. defenders into midfiel? Wrong wrong wrong.
if you want to play good football you put midfielders into defence ( except for m carrick) and pack the midfield with..err.. great midfielders. look at barca - they don't put puyol into midfield because that would be stupid - proven defenders simply don't pass as well as true midfielders, Jones is living proof of this for all of his energy and enthusiasm. putting masch into defense allows you to play football from the back. putting Jones into central midfield is simply desperation and a sign of what kind of football fergie wants us to play, and it clearly isn't a passing game.
