At the end of the day, I genuinely believe United will succeed in the coming years.
But looking at performances objectively, many of the draws, we have barely been threatened and tend to be the "attacking" team with more chances.
Nevertheless, how we attack is important. We have pacey players so we should overlap our wingers/fullbacks. Instead we are pretty static and we end up passing sideways/backwards. Or even worse, we end up whipping a ball in when there are 4/5 big West Brom players and only Marcus to target. Our crossing is poor also.
Of course, overlapping runs will expose us more to the counter but we have to take risks, otherwise the dropped points are worse than winning more but risking losing more (Chelsea have lost more games this season). But overlapping runs would force West Brom players even deeper (then they already were) which could give us the space and opportunity to drag back the cross, similar to how we conceded to Watford when we lost.
West Brom were well drilled, we have to get used to that and adapt by being either being more creative/unpredictable or more incisive. Even though I don't believe we have a great squad, we have enough quality to create better opportunities. We were pretty much left to shooting outside the box.
Whenever Valencia/Young had the ball on the wing, you could see that there wasn't enough movement.
This season has also shown, Martial and Rashford need to develop. Lingaard has shown some moments of brilliance but he really needs to up his overall game. Some really frustrating moments from these players.. they can tear defences apart but end up with a poor final ball/decision.
Very frustrating with Wayne, should have been more experienced at the end when he laid it off for a last possible chance in the game
