Pity from people who were title rivals. Says it all.

Its not pity. I want you to take points off Arsenal, Liverpool and City, and Im hoping you put in a backs to wall performance at the Emirates but right now I cant see it.

Edit- Although I do like to see Mata play and do well as well so thats a little bit of it, so long as its not against us!
 
More crosses than...somewhere with a lot of crosses.
 
By the way, we do know that all these crosses mean that as soon as Fellaini is fit he will end up taking the No.10 spot with Magawa AND Rooney playing on the wings
 
Remember everyone, these are exactly the same tactics we employed under SAF. ;)

This is exactly how we attacked under Fergie when the opposition were camped. We were just quicker on the break occasionally before they could position themselves
 
Where is the space to play in this hallowed middle? It's so one sided it's ridiculous and without a CM who can commit players in the middle you have little option to work it wide. Fulham defending very deep also.
 
We have van Persie, Rooney, Mata, Carrick, and Fletcher; all good to outstanding passers. But what do we do? we play like Norwich which main play is to cross it to the big bad man upfront.

Thats just mean. Stop scaring us. :(
 
Just look at how crowded that box is
Near impossible to play though the middle
 
Convince Beckham and Jan Koller to come out of retirement to play for us, we'd have a field day.
 
Moyes after the game of course will be something like, "I thought we crossed the ball really well, that was very effective despite the fact we lost. That was just unlucky."
 
Get Kagawa and Januzaj on for Young and Carrick; Rooney can play Carrick's deep-playmaking role quite easily against this Fulham side who are sitting very deep, and Mata, Kagawa and Januzaj's intelligent passing and movement should open Fulham up a bit.

This over-reliance on crossing from wide is just playing it into Fulham's hands at present.
 
Best we can hope for is that with the amount of headed clearances they're making they get concussed or something.
 
Dont worry lads we've got Fellaini. If he was playing number 10 for us we'd be all over em.
 
What is the point, seriously what is the fecking point of crossing constantly? They are taller than us and out number us in there 3 to 1. Can the players just ignore Moyes today?

I agree, but we're playing the way Fulham want us to. We need to mix it up, make them break their positions
