We're getting into great positions on the flanks time and again but our wide-men are complete and utter **** and our full-backs sans shaw can't attack for ****. The only player who is capable of running at players is Martial and quite often he can get into some good positions off the dribble. We need more of this. None of Young, Memphis, Lingard or Rooney should be starting for top 8 clubs, which is really the strongest indictment you can level and the root cause of any problems we may have.
So sure, the current system is not great offensively for our current batch of players and squad make up. However, I do believe a more open style could kill us and I think we would almost certainly not have the faintest shout at the title trying to play at a higher tempo whereas I really do feel that, as is, all we need is a little more quality in attack to mount a serious challenge.
But I guess you can be anywhere on the spectrum as to how you feel about the trade-off between exciting football and results but people shouldn't kid themselves, at this point, for us, there is definitely a trade-off.
I'm quite clearly pro-LVG but I will say that I think it is very frustrating that he gives Rooney so much leeway. That is really my only criticism. I want to see more Herrera in general and more Mata in the 10.
