Wat kind of an idiotic suggestion is this??! the solution, my frend, is not replacing well set united players like carrick and park with your galictos…thats just stupid. i do agree that picking up silva and villa from valencia is a good idea, and we shud do it now before that russian fool wastes them at stamford bridge, but u need to relax and stop changing half the starting line up and subs bench! r-tard!

Well yes I would actually. With the right midfield I would be totally confident in Berbatov/Owen or even Macheda to get the goals. My point is about winning the midfield battle, after that chances will come and any of the strikers can get the job done.

Your midfield of Carrick/Fletcher/Anderson was not the full story at Chelsea – it was a 5 man midfield (really stacked). And if you want to make it even stronger, let’s tell Rooney to make it 6 in the middle (forget the forwards).

Would you back United to beat Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool or City if Rooney was out injured??? I don’t think so… which means they are too reliant on one player – hence they should look to a different approach, a more varied attacking line-up.

Someone like David Silva in the middle would create chances for ALL the forwards (Owen, Berbatov, Valencia and even Fletcher).

I feel it is unwise for ANY team to rely too much on one goalscoring forward (no matter who they are). It is better to have a bunch of potential goalscorers, but this only happens when multiple chances are being created from midfield.

Firstly, let’s remind ourselves that there’s only 12 games gone and no team has been outstanding in all their games. But regarding your comment I quote above: you don’t think Utd were convincing against Stoke and Wigan? Totally dominated both games.

Also, despite the errors and the controversy, possibly Utd’s most dominant half of football this season was the 2nd half against City.

In what we would all agree were their ‘poor’ performances, it generally goes back to midfield selection for me.

I say again, if Fergie picks his best midfield (Carrick/Fletcher/Anderson) consistently and stops the endless rotation of the ‘middle 4′ which affects not just the quality but the continuity and team understanding, then Utd will be both better and more consistent.

It’s been a transition period, post Ronaldo, and defensive injuries have also had an impact. Way too soon to be calling for all sorts of new players. Ferguson has more than enough quality at his disposal….now it’s just a case of using them properly!

Also agreed about Gignac. I watched him in the first leg against Ireland and he is a fantastic talent, would be nice if Liverpool could get him don’t believe that Benzema is all that he’s made out to be either and Real should consider themselves extremely lucky that they didn’t sell Higuain to make space for Benzema.

I didn’t know stating the obvious was what passed for good writing nowadays:
