Why would we pass the ball into fulhams 4 centre mids?
Try something different. Knock the ball about and try some one-two to get in behind them. Vary our attack at the very least so they can't just set up to defend crosses and have to actually worry about something else.
 
Any one has the world record for crosses in one game? Surely it's up for the grabs in the second half as we need at least 2 goals.
 
Not gonna be popular, but it would be nice to have Fellaini to throw on... most crosses in the league this weekend, in 45 minutes, and one of the best target men in the league is out injured..
 
Moyes should apply for the Roman senate. Crosses were very popular back then
 
if we continue playing like this we should bring on Rio and play a front 3 of Ferdinand, Vidic and Smalling
 
The tactics have been spot on from Fulham, not from us.

It's as simple as anything for them; pack the box with big lumps and use pace on the counter. Simplicity.

It' because Moyes does not have a tactic, wheres Rene Meulensteen who Moyes got rid of, does have tactical plan SIGH
 
There is no room to play through the middle - Fulham have completely packed the box. I see no problem with the crossing today, only thing I'd say is we need to at least try and play more through them at the sides or have players attack their defenders on the wings more. Januzaj would be really good at half time.

How do we realistically play through 6 - 8 defenders through the middle? Been crying out for us to play more diverse but, this game we have to take the only thing they are giving to us.

There is room, but at the least mixing it up and then putting it to someone who is then open in a wide area gives us a way to get the ball in the box without them having as many in the box. At the moment they can drop as many as they can in to the box which makes it so much harder to pick someone out.
 
I've tried to get behind Moyes, I really have, but he's making it really hard.

It's not the fact that we've been losing these games, it's that we seem to be learning absolutely nothing from doing so.
 
Fulham bringing on a striker, shows how many fecks they give about our crosses.
 
Bent coming on!

Rene is going to try and humiliate us!
 
Hey, I tell you what we should do? Sign Peter Crouch? Or random tall man? Anyone said that yet?
 
As much as the crossing is painful to watch, some of Rafael's crosses have been excellent. Not that it matters when you're crossing it in with 3 attackers to aim for, when the defending team has 7 or 8 players plus a goalkeeper in the box.

Mata has often been in great positions, unmarked, just infront of the penalty area, but we just keep tossing it outwide, and crossing it far post when we have no one far post.
 
Fulham bring on a striker. We are fecked.
 
Bent coming on. A team which has lost 17/24 Premier League games is planning to put us to the sword at Old Trafford.
 
Rafael used to be such a good crosser of the ball before.
