Before people start moaning about the crosses, they should have a look at the game first.

They are flooding the middle with players, there's no space to do anything but spread it out wide.

Come off it, in training he surely has set training drills where they should be doing attack vs defend. If any of the articles i've read this week are to go about you get the picture he just has them run about working hardly touching a ball

Exactly. The manager responsibility is only to pick the lineup. All other things should be done by players themselves. As we all know Barca players can win titles even without a manager, so it's clear that our players are in wrong. The only solution is to sell all of them.

Huge 70 min for Moyes. His career is on the line.

Unfortunatly for us it really is not on the line, they seem to be content giving him a heap of time to run us into the ground even more.

Even if we had Beckham at his peak he would be little use to us. The build up play is so slow and static that its simple to defend against our crosses.
 
Impossible to watch. It is a punishment watching us play at the moment.
 
The crowd should just shout "Stop crossing the fecking ball" for 90 minutes, maybe then they'll understand.
 
There is absolutely no way we will lose this one.
I predict we will go on and win this 3-1 or 4-1. Fulham is working their pants off and our right side was always going to be the best side to attack. It will be a couple of tough minutes and then their stamina will fail. Most of their players are heavy and will not benefit from that in the long run.
 
We make a hell of a lot of far post crosses, and it seems that 9 times out of 10, we don't have anyone at the far post. If we're going to play a crossing game, you'd think we'd put the cross into an area where we have players attacking the space.
 
Infuriating stuff. If we lose to this lot playing like this, fecking hell.

So every game this season where we've been crossing a lot is because we cant play when teams set up through the middle? Jesus no wonder we're crap
 
"I thought we played well today, we were just unlucky"....

Even if we do win it, this football is just painful.
 
Speaks volumes when our best player half an hour in has probably been Vidic.
 
It's just crosses all the time. History doesn't matter, we need a more continental style i think. And for that, perhaps it requires a continental manager too.
 
Young's our best player far. Mata's contribution (through little fault of his own) is passing to Rafael who proceeds to waste a cross.
 
I didn't realise how bad a situation United were in, in terms of their crossing. It's genuinely unbelievable.
 
Aaaand one from deep.

I hope we can see statistics at HT how many crosses and long passes we had today. Should be some kind of a record certainly.

True. But Beckham could shoot from our own half and it'd be more dangerous than our play now.
