Man U - lesson learned? 08:32 - Sep 16 with 844 views

I was not at the match and therefore have only watched the extended "highlights" which as always with TV is very partial to Man U.

We know that our defenders struggle to play the ball out of defence and that it has costs us at least two goal against this season (so far). It seems however that there is a lack of confidence spreading which now means that they are not doing the job of defending either.

To not mark players from a corner or a cross following a slow build up will get punished.

I suggest that the coaching team need to go back to basics with the defenders.

I also think that the fiddling with defensive positions is unhelpful. They don't really know who is marking which player/space and are looking at each other. Now that Stephens will be missing I suggest it might be a good time to play the same players in the same positions for a few matches and rebuild that confidence.

Part of the problem remains having the ball but failing to make a chance. I cannot for the life of me understand why we play slow balls across the pitch, trying to create an opening, whulst having two wide players on the pitch.

I do hope that RM sees what we see and has a plan to change things, because doing ghe same things and expecting a different result is insane.

It's not like we have to look very far to see how they could/should be playing because they played like that in the first 30 minutes, attacking and creating a lot of chances.

Poll:

Should we try to replace Selles for the final seven games?
