Herrera being left out is the big mystery for me, because his introduction would solve a lot of the issues we're seeing. I wish we could have some way to understand his omission. I disagree when people say our defence is shit. Sure we're still bound to make mistake because our defenders are still very young, but from what I see it's in midfield that the issue truly is. There is a lack of connection and mobility in tat CAM position behind our strikers, so much so that we are unable to take advantage of our possession spell. I believe the roots have been built up pretty well by LVG in terms of tactical awareness and possession (although there is still plenty f work to do), but now the times has come to move forward attacking wise or we won't be able to break the best teams. I wish we could add some bodies behind our strikers closer to each other to penetrate from the middle, especially when you have players like Di Maria, Rooney or Herrera (and even Mata) who can play quick passes/one-touch football and offer great mobility. All in all, I think that LVG is trying to implement a tactical and "philosophical" change, and I respect that because we're improving on many levels, but at the same time a part of me doesn't understand many of his decisions, such as the basic tactical set up, with Di Maria upfront, Rooney so deep, Herrera left out completely... I agree about the midfield but again he persists with the same personnel, try Herrera in there or Di Maria instead of Mata who has been poor for the last few games, get Rooney upfront. As for the game against Spurs, most of our chances came from Young's delivery who is the only one doing the job of a wing back without him we've been toothless. Not good enough.   |

Completely agree, Matt. I said it yesterday, our defense will get better once we have a consistent pair...or trio if Van Gaal continues to insist on 352. No wonder the fans were chanting "442" yesterday, it seems like a pretty obvious decision, even if it's making us weaker defensively. I get the desire to keep a solid defence, but surely that's got to be reserved for stronger teams...I wouldn't mind it if we were playing Chelsea and looking for that one goal that will decide the game, but against a team like QPR there's no need for it - even with that 'shaky defence" De Gea hardly touched the ball. |

Against the two best sides in the league Chelsea and City he plays four at the back, against QPR and Yeovil we need an extra centre back.  |
