So, now who is Manchester United? A team which according to the record book has only 13% of chance to qualify for next round's Champions League.
Manchester United have suffered from some recent setbacks.
From my observation:
~ The tempo of the team is slower.
~ They show signs of fatigue.
~ The tactic of the team is quite static. From good point of view, it is consistency. But it can also cause opponent to easily anticipate the team’s tactic.
~ The offensive moves are one dimensional. Opponent easily anticipates and counters the one dimensional attacks.
2-2 at home to Porto is a near death sentence for Man United. Sir Alex or Man United needs to have changes made to the team.
Suggestions:
~ Tactically, 4-4-2 = Man United. Sir Alex needs to change that. For example, change to 4-3-3 or 4-5-1. This is a must win game away from home. So, tactical surprise is a must to win the game.
~ Put a holding/defensive midfielder protecting the back four. Darren Fletcher should be included in the first eleven. He had a decent game against Fulham and Aston Villa. His work rate and energy is badly needed.
~ Put 2 central midfielder. First choice would be Scholes and Carrick. But, Carrick has some bad run recently. Same goes to Scholes. However, they are the finest passer or playmaker in the team.
~ The final third is important. Dimitar Berbatov should start. He provides focal point of attack and aerial superiority. However, his work rate is quite low. Not a plus point when playing away from home. Wayne Rooney has a lot of energy, great vision and is a decent crosser.
Finally, Cristiano Ronaldo is a must for Man United. Besides he is an aerial threat to the opponent, he also provides width for the team.
~ The back four: Patrice Evra, Nemanja Vidic, Rio Ferdinand, John O' Shea. (Provided Ferdinand and Berbatov recover in time)
~ Physical toughness is more important than attacking flair.Vidic, O' Shea, Rooney, Fletcher all provides physical toughness to the team.
~ Set Piece: Where isthe aerial threat when Carrick floats the corner kick? Ronaldo, O' Shea, Vidic, Berbatov, Ferdinand, Fletcher. They are good header. Scholes will be waiting outside for long shot chances.
~ The bench! Place Carlos Tevez, Ryan Giggs, Luis Nani. They can change the game (and then history).
