(I never imagined that we might see a return of DarrenFletcherinho). When he signed KagawaBunga in the summer I was hopeful that we would see a more "modern" kind of attack in which TheWayneBoy and Shinji would play behind/off the main striker -- I never imagined that the main striker would be RVP because I expected to see Chicharito given a chance to re-ignite his earlier, electric form. Unfortunately, we've seen way too much of Ashley Young (seeing Ashley Young at all is too much in my book !), a downturn in AV7?s effectiveness, and a refusal to make use of Nani because he was being "punished" for not signing a new contract on UTD's terms. Overall, these three have been largely ineffective and their continued role in the starting eleven has meant that the old reliance on wingers has persisted. Ashley Young is not good enough, AV7?s one-footedness has been sussed, and Nani is -- ahem ! -- out-of-sorts. So, their ineffectiveness has just compounded the misery of relying on an outdated style of play. To be blunt -- TheLads are too often boring as well as being ineffective. The individual talent is there but it's being frustrated by the running-into-blind-alleys which seems to characterize UTD's wing-play nowadays. OK, enough of that.
