Manchester United vs. Fulham FC

For whatever reason, this game is painful viewing
 
bald scouse cnut Murphy about to grace us with his scummy shit presence.
 
Can we please use our wingers? They are packing the middle every time, it's too congested.
 
What are we playing at? Weird second half. Look completely incapable of scoring and don't even look like we want to.
 
Another one who 'moves on' after a final dig.

Tactics suiting the players available is illogical to you?

Real Madrid may counter attack and may press but that is not relevant without a much broader discussion, like the pace and dynamism of the central midfielders, where we don't compare to them, so it is about the players we have. Telling Giggs, Scholes and Carrick to bomb around harrying is not their game.


My reluctance is because I saw the comparison with Real Madrid irrelevant from the off.

Well, that's exactly what I was wondering. Either it's a matter of choice or compulsion. If it's compulsion then while it has to do with the players/kind of players at our disposal then it's to do with something about them and their respective and collective traits, as you've clearly articulated. That's all I was getting at, really.
