Falcao and RVP "partnership"

The support comes from runs from deep

The support is barely coming from the forward line atm

We all know Rvp and Rooney are dross when partnered. No one here knows whether rvp and Falcao are chit when partnered together. Stop this speculating let's wait and see. This is the same guesswork that had people here saying we will pick up maximum points from our first six games. Football does not work like that.

But that isn't because of a lack of numbers, it's because we aren't playing well. There's no excuse why our forwards should not be in the box.

I think the forwards will shine once our midfield is sorted

Carrick will find them far easier than Fletcher. As will Herrera and hopefully Blind

Rooney is such a marked man but Falcao will scare the chit out of PL defences too hopefully giving Rooney more space

I'm not saying much about RVP atm because he's half the player he was the season before last and atm, nobody really knows why. He isn't even that hard to mark.

All three of them were poor at the weekend but at least Mata and Rooney looked interested, despite both playing poor. RVP just isn't doing it

I hope it's just fitness and not something in his head. I was really hoping the arrival of LVG would kick him back into action

A good midfield will make a huge difference, I'm just sceptical with playing 3 attackers centrally, especially if they like to operate in the same space.

A good thing also about only playing 2, 1 behind the other as well as 3 at the back is it means 3 in midfield which would mean that whoever is our #10 whether that's Rooney or Mata they won't have to drop back so much which I think drastically effects their effectiveness further up the field.

-------------De Gea-------------
---Smalling---Jones---Rojo---
Rafael-------Blind-------Shaw
------Herrera----Di Maria------
---------Mata/Rooney---------
----------Falcao/RVP----------

This system for me sorts out a lot of problems as well as uses the system it seems LVG wants. Like I said it will cause less congestion up front leaving our #9 to do what they do best while it also mean the #10 does not have to track back as much. It also gives di Maria plenty of space to attack and means Rojo who is our only left sided CB (apart from Blackett) can fit. Blind by the sounds of it also has the engine in him to play that role while also receiving enough support from Herrera and di Maria.

It also means a possibility of 6 new players starting so don't expect it to gel straight away.

Why buy ADM, a winger, and play him as a ten, when we have a perfectly good no.10?

If you mean my team then he isn't playing as a #10, he is left of a midfield which is a role he often played at Real last season and spoke of when he joined us and played on Saturday. It gives him plenty of space to run into on our left ahead of Shaw as well as utilising his workrate without ruining his attacking game.
