FOR TECHNICAL AND SKILLFUL PLAYERS like Nani,Berbatov and Anderson.
Look at Nani.He has got everything - Pace,Trickery,Power,Dribbling,Good shot,goal scoringability,just everything that you expect from a sensational player.He even outperforms Ronaldo for Portugal and gets standing ovations.But what do we do? We tell him to curb his twists and tricks and be more direct.He has even spoke out against this and if we continue to curb his natural game he may well be off to a Continental team where his skills would be much appreciated and that would be irreparable loss for us.
2)Berbatov - Our most skillful striker.Has a great first touch,can dribble past defenders for fun,rarely looses the ball unlike Rooney/Hernandez and one of the most skillful strikers in the PL.And what do we do? We play him as a lone striker which is clearly not his favourite position.The height of all we do not include him for the CL final for Owen.What an insult to him.
3)Anderson - Was bought as a direct replacement for Paul Scholes.He had every ingredient that is required to be a top midfielder.He was also touted as the "Next Ronaldinho".Earlier he could dribble past players,assist,score loads of goals,take fantastic freekicks and corners.And what do We do? We covert him to a holding/box to box midfielder thus destroying his talent.Now the time has come that if he doesn't perform well this season he may well be sold.What a waste of talent.
On top of everything we buy overrated Englishmen like Young which is a bigger insult to these fantastic talents.
I feel we that even though we have won so many trophies in the last few years we have become too workmanlike especially after Ronnie left.Please honestly tell me do you like the style of football we play nowadays?No wonder Sanchez,Sneijder do not want to come.
ARE WE A GRAVEYARD?

spurs fan in peace.
i have too say,dropping berba from the squad for cl final,is probably the strangest decision i can remember sir alex making.

What an honest appraisal of something that everyone outside Manchester makes of the current United style.
Playing Carrick, Anderson, Park and Fletcher against the likes of Arsenal smells of footballing fear.
And no Nani/Berbatov in footballs showpiece was just embarrassing!

When did Ando ever "score loads of goals"? How about a link to where Nani "spoke out against" us for curbing his "twists and tricks"?
Agree with you on Berba, he got a bum deal second half of the season, but it would have been tough to drop Chicho and there was no way Rooney was being benched. Owen for CL final was a jaw-dropper though.

Love deluded comments like this. Just because Arsene refuses to have a plan B or C doesn't mean Fergie should. It's not fear to play a team or a tactic which will win, it's common sense

Excellent point, OP.

I agree with the OP, as well as Anderson and Nani you could also say Rooney, yes he is a very good player but he hasn't fulfilled the potential that he showed at Everton. In those days he was labelled a mixture of Shearer and Gascoigne, a player who can beat a man and score great goals as a prolific striker, the Rooney of today is certainly not that player..........although he didn't do too badly with CR7

Personally I think Valencia hurts your style more than anyone.
Run really fast down the wing, look frustrated that he can't beat the fullback, cross.

You're a better side with better players than that.
