Was the Rangers match a one-off, or is the team selection getting more and more negative?
If you look at the starting line-up yesterday, you could say we started with 6 defenders (although Phil and Quiton can play midfield), plus Keane who's a defensive midfielder. Scoles and Giggs are attack-minded players, but 6 defenders and 1 striker doesn't seem like a Manchester United team philosophy to me. Plenty of times we had time and space on the wing, but didn't bother putting in a cross because only one person was in the box. Two strikers would have given us a good chance of scoring on several occasions. Giggs was poor again up front wasting a two on one which would have sealed the match, and as much as everyone likes to hate Ed, we scored 3 goals in 4 matches with Giggs up front, then 7 in 2 when he went back on the wing. Co-incidence? Lone striker is still not working. We struggled against Leeds until a second striker came on. We struggled against Arsenal until a second striker came on. I missed the last half-hour of the Rangers game but from all accounts Rangers had more possession and shots and were unlucky not the get a draw. Then again we should have had a penalty too, but how many times can we rely on opponents missing chances because we create so few? LEB ------------------------ Yahoo!
