If we persists with this all season, he'll get the sack next summer because the players look totally lost. It's not just the defence. It's in midfield and upfront too.
Quite worrying when not a single section (defence, midfield or attack) is performing. Any team would struggle to win 3pts playing the way we are.
Having Fletcher as our sole midfield linchpin from defence to attack doesn't do the system or Fletcher any good.
Fletcher would work well in a midfield two or three,but even then he really shouldn't be a starter.
Wow, what a drama queen you are OP. I know you have problems but to say you have 352 problems like you have in the title is just blowing things out of proportion! Calm down.
They are merely problems associated with playing 352 and our squad. Whats so blown out of proportion about any of it?
The problem is not the system but the lack of quality in your squad. You can't play any system at the moment.
The other problem is square pegs ... Mata - he plays behind the strikers. Full backs are not always wing backs and central midfielders cannot play wide.
Systems that work in Spain or Holland don't necessarily work in England.
It was a lame attempt at a joke. Read it like literally you have over 300 problems.
How can we play a 4 man defence with both our full backs out, our LB cover ineligible to play and one if our CBs that cover RB out?

I got it, but im not a utd fan
I think you've over complicated it OP.
The players don't know what they're supposed to be doing. Valencia - for all his rubbish crosses - logged at home when he was told to push on and attack the FB.. the CBs don't look sure at all, the midfield doesn't seem to know where each other are, it's all a mess.
I think you'd be better 4411 or something standard that they can all play with their eyes closed.
The PL is unforgiving - rarely can you get away with playing someone out of their natural position, let alone half the team.
It doesn't really matter about 442 or 352 or whatever.
If you haven't got the tools to do the job then it becomes academic.
Besides, until Smalling and Jones are given the opportunity to do what SAF intended them to do (and be) then it is too early to talk about strategies, line-up etc.,
Just how many times have Jones and Smalling lined up in their correct positions together since their arrival?
There you go.
There are many problems currently at the club and it is not the ones being rehashed on these boards. It isn't going to be long before somebody, with a piece of paper wide enough, is going to suggest on these boards a line-up that looks like this:
Coco
Valencia/Carrick/Rooney/Fletcher/Anderson/Fellaini/Mata/Herrera/Di Maria
Wellbeck
