Last season you started the campaign playing extremely offensively and you weren't conceding a great deal either but this season your team appears to be a bit more individualistic with Man Utd not really dominating matches like they should and having to score 3 or 4 because they keep shipping plenty of goals at the back. Rooney would score a hatful if he was playing as a number 9 BUT his goals normally come in spells and normally come usually the game has already been won. |

Well every single one of our defenders has been out injured at one point this season. and the alternating of the goalkeeper behind them certainly doesn't help them get any sort of balance. Wingers being out of form or injured has seen us have to alter our formation making us much more susceptible down the flanks with only Rafael and Evra, two predominantly attacking full-backs with holes in their defensive games there to stop it.

Ferguson: Manchester United are not a one-man team Sir Alex Ferguson insists Manchester United are not a one-man team after a laboured performance against West Ham. Even last night's laboured display against West Ham fuelled a feeling Robin van Persie is a player United cannot afford to be without if they are to realise their silverware ambitions this term given the striker was granted a rare rest. With 21 goals to his name already - and 10 in his past 10 appearances, the 29-year-old has made a phenomenal start to life at Old Trafford following his £24million move from Arsenal. The Dutchman has earned warm praise from his new boss, who is not just delighted by the contribution Van Persie has made on the field, but also the example he has set with his professionalism off it. However, Ferguson is anxious not to increase the belief that without Van Persie, United are a shadow of themselves. "I don't go along with the idea we have become a one-man team," Ferguson told United Review. "There was a time in our history when one man did carry us for a while. Eric Cantona kept us in contention with his goals when a few others were off the boil. "But things are quite different now. "Javier Hernandez has weighed in with 12 goals while Wayne Rooney is currently on nine. "Two defenders, Johnny Evans and Patrice Evra, have chipped in with eight between them so it doesn't stand up to see us as a one-man band overly dependent on Van Persie, brilliant as he has been at both making and taking goals." Yet Ferguson can hardly deny Roberto Mancini's claim that Van Persie is presently making the difference in this season's title battle. "He is absolutely relishing his new challenge," he said. "He is the right player, at the right club, at the right time. "He has a winning mentality, but as he points out, it is one that goes right through the squad and one that will hopefully see us push on in both league and the cups and successfully navigate what is a busy and challenging period." |
