def in man utd, gk?

i'm not saying that the youth isn't up to standard, but defending requires a certain calmness and experience that the youth generally lack, especially for central defence.

also, it's always been taught that great championship winning teams are built on two principles, a string defence, and a strong spine.

United's defence is strong, save for the full-back positions at times. the rationale for a strong defence is that the attackers can pour foward safe in the knowledege that if they lose the ball, they dun have to track back to win it back. it keeps them focused on attacking, making it seem like attack is the best form of attack.

as for the spine, United have a spine that's been in place for about 2 seasons, so Fergie's just beefing it up. he does lack a focal point of a centre foward though, so even if he does move for Saviola (free), he'll need someone big and strong fro the crosses and holding up play, etc. other than that, the spine shouldn't need any tinkering with.

if smith resigns, he will be the one to hold the ball, but are we still playing that way? I thought this season, we played through the center and the wings more..

with OwenH, it means infront of defence, there is another layer of protection..
And Carrick better do well..

as for defence, I think it would be good to blood the youth but maybe in Cup matches like carling or FA cup so as to grow their exposure and experience.

Some of them were loaned out and I do believe they are ready..
I would want to see Rossi or Pique play. They do have remarkable report cards during their loans.

Yep. I did not think that Man Utd needed to get a new striker because they have Rossi! The backline is very important though and I do agree with the inexperience of the young defenders, which is a point I had made earlier too.

But Pique is probably ready. Anymore loaning and he will probably be wanting to get out of Man Utd for serious. Rolling Eyes

Anyone remember how many times Man Utd conceited crucial goals in the last minutes? The defense line can just break down like that so suddenly. Like that match against Arsenal... Man Utd did well until the last few minutes when WHAM! I don't really want to see those things happen again. It's really awful. Mad

I think the key to those last minutes goals are concentration..

that's why it was mentioned that for GK like Foster, it is hard to zone out when nothing is happening, and zone in, when opposing teams do a sudden attack..

I think MUFC is doing well with Vidic cause he is pretty focus.

the ridiculous last minute goals that i rmb we conceded were all because of SILVESTRE. i think it was during the christmas period where we played wigan and reading.

that bloody sod cant defend sh!t. his concentration is so poor. he's not cut out to be a central defender. but keeps insisting that thats his best position. Evil or Very Mad

That's why he's in the limbo called RESERVES most of the times. Laughing
