I keep reading about this team we have now and it being the best squad we've had for years but I just don't see it. Hernandez aside, the other signings are just ok and did nothing to address the problems we had last year.TommyHammer wrote:I know Slav wants to play a front three, but is this surely the right way to play against this United team at Old Trafford? Especially with key men missing in the middle. We got absolutely bullied. I wouldn't have minded if we actually had a go at them, but we did nothing. Never expected us to win today but never expected us to get a smashing like that either. If we don't improve and get at least 4 points in the next two games I think questions have to start being asked of Bilic tactically. Can't be getting smashed like that with the team we now have.
I don't think Zabaleta was good at all yesterday. He was far too up the pitch for the first and didn't tuck in enough for the 3rd. Arnie couldn't hit a good set piece all day. He's a decent player but he'll give you 3 or 4 average performances before you get 1 decent one and Hart looks similar to Adrian.
Hernandez is great, but we lumped balls to him like he's Carroll.
We still need pace and we still need to improve tactically.
