Blackburn Rovers v Manchester Utd

It's not poor team formation. Jones is just not right being in front of the midfield two. It's an odd choice.
 
Again we are not playing bad.

But its the tactics which have let us down.

Our tactics this season in Europe has been utterly shocking.

Interesting time for us to try it out in the league.

Nothing is ever wrong with any formation. It's how you use a formation that determines its success.
 
Whats his role? Is he attacking or defending? Seems to be caught between both.

id prefer he does his defensive duties firstly, we will wear blackburn down in the 2nd half.

we dont need jones making marauding runs all over the camp yet
 
Jones whinging at Rafael for not getting back?
These games where teams park the bus I find Chicharito less reliable as when the ball goes wide it's really an in behind option or a free header only
 
Hrm, playing pretty well tbh. Need to put in 1 or 2 though.
 
Good stuff. That's what we need, more bodies in there when Tony gets it in.
 
Last week United were too tense, this week they're too laid-back
 
Rafael's been in great positions, but no end product just yet...
 
We need to stretch Blackburn. The moment we do there are opportunities.

Of course but we know what players we have and where their strengths are. This is something new and I don't understand why SAF picked this. We're one transfer away from making this formation super hard to defend against. Pick any one of the optimal CAF transfer targets and the team would be much better but we don't have those players now and I don't understand why Jones is there.
Maybe someone else can shed a different light on this.

Our 2 best chances have come because of Hernandez' great runs.
