Massive backward step

    Had no problem with the starting team but when Cahill went off at half time we witnessed Moyes poor tactics similar to most of the season. I thought he had changed his mind set against City when with 10 mins left he took off Denis but put another forward on.

    Felliani broke up everything against City and was showing form so why does Moyes feel the need to push him forward? He is a excellent DM so play him there.

    Gibson is dropping too deep and therefore was less effective. We need him to be pushing forward otherwise we have no link to the striker.

    Neville is slow and uncreative, he cannot play in the middle of the park because he is breaks up our passing movements more than the opposition. He is an excellent unused sub so keep him there.

    The game needed a spark and therefore I would have stuck Drenthe in the middle for Cahill at half time as the room was opening up or done what everyone felt and gone 4-4-2.

    Our problem is scoring but defensively we are solid minus the freak goals so why did we need to see Neville? Who was the cause of the goal.

    I don't agree with the calls for Anchiebe to start unless it is in a 2 man strike force (and not Cahill). Glad to see him showing form but if you look at the majority of goals our strikers have scored it has been when we are chasing the game and have 2 up top.

    We will not get into Europe playing for draws so I wish we could see us going out to win the games and build a attractive edge to our game ready for next season.

    Was so excited before the game after the City result. Please lets build on it

    We needed a creative midfielder, not a striker. unfortunately those types of players everybody wants as they are few and far between.

    Agreed but when taking Cahill off he had to either go defensive which he did or try something new and that left a striker of Drenthe.

    Why not then give Drenthe the chance behind a striker. He has pace and can take people on. His strength is running with the ball not crossing so lets see what he can do. It would mean that we can attack from both wings and the middle.

    Without some penetration through the middle we are predictable and have to go wide to create a chance.

    Drenthe in central midfield would be very exciting. Now we have Pienaar on the left, it seems obvious.

    During the transfer window I'd have offered Saha , osman and 6 million for Dembele from Fulham.

    Think he's a class act me.
