Fletcher ?!

Jeno SG

4-3-3 or 4-5-1 doesn't matter...
but why is darren fletcher getting a place in the team ?
he provides nothing at all...
can't pass, can't tackle , can't cross, provide no attacking threat or defensive cover.. is there a more over-rated player ?

Why can't United jus drop him and play Giggs or park ?
i know both of them are not central players.. then jus dun play 3 central midfielders ?! Jus play the normal 4-4-2.. Rooney and Ruud up front... Scholes & Keane in the middle.. Giggs/Park n Ronaldo on the flanks...

I know Keano don't have the legs anymore.. but i would rather we have more attacking threat.. in the shape of another winger..
Fletcher is definitely not the type of player that can change a game.. he is terribly one-footed (heck.. even Becks has a better left foot !)

But now.. with Keano out.. looks like we have to endure another 2 months of "disappearing act" type of performances from the Scottish international, Fletcher.. Neutral

I think this season fergie is trying to learn from chelsea's formation of playing 3 in the middle of midfield, and 2 forwards supportting 1 main centre forward.

However, unlike Chelsea, they do not have sufficient cover for central midfield positions. In my opinion, only Keane, Scholes and Smith can play well in central midfield. Fletcher and Fortune are more suited to play on the wings, so too are Giggs and Park. Phil Neville, who used to do quite a good job in the middle in the absence of keane, has joined everton. I think they need to get a quality player in this area.

Another baffling fact for man united is.. why is it that Ronaldo is scoring bundles of goals for portugal, but his strike rate while playing for United is so pathetic? Some more this season he has been utilised more as a supporting forward than winger where he used to play when he first joined united.
