Please football jebus

Besic never put his foot in at the weekend


Pre season is not a judge of form, ask United fans. Besic needs games at this level/standard/speed of play. But as with McCarthy, he knows a bit about midfield players and what they need to be able to do so he will come good

Barry is an excellent player but can no longer get up and down, in two games we had 2 goals only to be pegged back one of the reasons apart from the inexplicable loss of form of our CB's was that McCarthy was knackered doing Barry's running. Not nonsense at all, watch the games I am talking about.

If you watch the game then you will know it is not Barry who gets up and down, he sits in front of the back four We get exposed at the back when either Barry or McCarthy are having to drift wide to cover our fullbacks who are up the pitch - leaving central areas open to killer passes - see fabregas as an example or CB's 1 on 1 with a speedy attacker

Exactly my point, because Barry is doing the job he is good at McArthy has invariably to do the leg work, consequently the lad has been getting knackered. I predict that Roberto will change the Squads strategy from predominately fitness training with the ball, more percentage toward stamina training and then skill training with the ball.

Hold on a minute, so Barry doesn't get up and down? So he doesn't need the legs to get up and down.

Either way they have to cover up at LB and RB as Baines and Coleman bomb on, fitness has nothing to do with it.

Three games in playing the same system as last year and you think Roberto will change his methods?

Are you deliberately misunderstanding? In every Team somebody normally a couple of midfielders do the fetching and carrying in our Team in this system Barry sits in front of the back four and McArthy does all the running about hence 'doing the running for Barry' ergo fitness does have something to do with it. Roberto himself (if you listen and remove your ear plugs) has alluded to this lack of energy/fitness and said they are working on it.

Well blimey, why are we carrying Barry? Surely he is the problem?

Jeez they are all right about you.

Also the FB's bombed on last year & we had the 3rd best defensive record so that has absolutely nothing to do with it, the defence is shaky, Distin & Jags by their own very high standards have been awful so far this season!
