saddest indictment of Man Utd...

We lack pace.

We are very similar in style and ability to Barcelona of 2011, the only difference is we are playing in a much stronger league so don't just walk results like they did.

We sometimes just pass for the sake of passing. Too many times today we went backwards or played the wrong pass.

Similar ability to arguably the greatest ever club side???

Are you Barry Smith in disguise?

I don't mind the possession game, it's just that it's quite slow and some players spend to long on the ball, Young and Mata to name two.

I think we need to quicken the tempo, one and two-touch possession football should (in theory) draw the opposition out and create space.

A bit of pace on the counter wouldn't go a miss either

We had enough clear chances last 3 games to score 10 goals. Its a bit like when Barcelona lost to Chelsea.

We don't have a single player who can suddenly jig past two or three defenders on the edge of a crowded box to open some space for a shot/cross. Like Hazard, Ronaldo, Messi, Robben etc.

We don't even have anyone who's any good at long range shots, on a regular basis.

We certainly don't have anyone who can score a massively deflected freekick to win us the game when we don't deserve to.

And final rant, we have very little pace and no leaders. No one who can say "hold on a minute lads we're not losing this", then go and win us the game.

Today bad finishing cost us. Thats why we are where we are. Domination wise we could have won the title easily this season.

What's it going to take for you to realise that possession doesn't automatically mean superiority?
