The buck has to stop with old dino chops.
Today, we again saw square pegs in round holes with Isla playing at right back when he's a wing back;Vargas playing right mid/wing when he's a forward and Fer playing left mid/wing when he should play centrally.
This is all down to Harry's ineptitude. He sold our only proper right back whilst pursuing a three at the back system which lasted about 5 minutes! He bought the crock Sandro and the terribly average Mutch for 16 million for Christ's sake!
The thinking at home is to play 4-4-2 to suit Charlie Austin, which is fine. BUT, if that is the case, then Redknapp should pick the TEAM for that system and not try to force players into positions that they can't play.
Vargas was awful today, giving the ball away time after time. But as my lad pointed out, he is a striker. Stick Austin out there and see how he performs!
Fer is about as much a left mid/wing as Rob Green is!
He was poor today too, but he's being played out of position.
For ****'s sake Harry, pick the right team, not individuals out of position.
If we're going to continue with 4-4-2 then the only solution would be to play Ned at right back and push Isla up to right mid. Play either Traore or Hoilett on the left and keep them there.
The way we're set up now, we have very little pace to break against teams with. Fer is one paced and very lazy. Vargas isn't a winger. Those two positions are vital in 4-4-2 and the two wide men have to work up and down tirelessly. Either change the system (I would) or play the right players in the right positions you Neanderthal!
Today I thought we were pretty awful, forever giving the ball back to Utd and never really threatening apart from a couple of very good long range efforts from Charlie in the first half.
2nd half, they made tactical changes which took the game away from us, while Redknapp sat on his hands until he had to make a change after we went behind.
Then what does dino chops say after the game? We need a forward!! For ****'s sake!! We've just got Zarate you half wit. Why not throw him on when we need a goal? Or is this yet another poor signing from a coach who is sadly well past his sell by date? He also said in the same post match interview that he isn't bothered in the slightest about the rumours that he's for the chop. He'll go home and take his wife out for a meal and not have a care in the World he said.
He doesn't give a toss about us and I'm sick of him!! Van Gaal showed him just what tactics are about today.
Player ratings and comments:
Green - 7 - Made some excellent saves. Left exposed for both goals.
Isla - 6 - One of the few who tried to get forward and wasn't played in anything like often enough.
Dunne - 6 - Was doing a good job on Falcao till he went off at half time, presumably injured.
Onuoha - 6 - Got better as the game went on.
Hill - 5 - Does his best.
Vargas - 5 - Poor......but played out of position.
Barton - 6 - Made some good tackles and worked hard.
Henry - 6 - Again did a good job in the centre.
Fer - 4 - As poor as Vargas, but he is just so lazy!! But again, he's being played out of position by old dino.
Zamora - 6 - Was always a handful till he tired.
Austin - 5 - Two good long range efforts in the first half, but his all round game wasn't too great and his lack of pace really hurts us when we need to break out. That's why we need quick natural wide men to help him.
Subs:
Caulker - 5 - Did ok but still looks shaky.
Kranjcar - 5 - A couple of nice passes out wide and at least he was able to do that.
Taarabt - 6 - Clearly not fit, but I didn't think he looked as fat as was suggested on the thread on the subject. We immediately kept the ball better when he came on and he played two or three lovely passes.
In my opinion, Harry has lost his mojo completely. His tactics are all wrong and he is a throw back to out-dated thinking along with his two side-kicks Jordan and Bond.
Also, he doesn't appear to give a **** about us and I am absolutely convinced that he will take us down!
