This is coming right after another pathetic showing at home so I'm a bit emotional. But what the hell is wrong with United? Time after time again we have these lackluster performances at home. There's a reason why we have such a low amount of goals scored this season, we don't do enough. There's no pattern to our attack for the large part, we only see it in the occasional streamable link.
First of all, I'm sorry but Herrera-Pogba-Carrick isn't it for me. Herrera has basically turned into a defensive midfielder and offers nothing going forward. Same goes for Carrick. Playing two of them at the same time is the wrong approach at home when we should be going for goals. We have creative midfielders on this team, Pereira is on loan. Schweinsteiger is here and is ready to play, he is attack minded midfielder with loads of experience in tough games like this. Hell, why not give Angel Gomes a call up? We've seen our neighbors run riot with a young front line of Sane, Jesus and Sterling.
Stop taking off Mkhitaryan for Mata, they should be on at the same time if anything. Another problem in our team is the ineffectiveness of the left hand side of the field. Last season, Shaw+Memphis looked to be a formidable force going forward until the injury curtailed this process. If he's not going to play Martial on the left, why not Ashley Young? We need players who can take on defenders and put in good crosses. Nani was so damn good at this, Ashley Young can do a job there.
Also, we need to find a creative right back in the summer. Valencia does a good job but he's too predictable and doesn't offer creativity with the copious amount of times he goes forward past the winger.
I believe we need to go back to the 4-2-3-1 and try a lineup of the following:
De Gea, Fosu-Mensah, Bailly, Rojo, Shaw
Herrera, Pogba,
Young, Schweini, Mkhitaryan
Zlatan
Thoughts? Maybe I'm just spewing rubbish but this is my opinion and I want to share it with you guys.
