Thats always been your game though even under Ferguson.

 

can't be serious

 

[Yeshua]

United have always been a team that relies on crossing, at least for the last couple years.

[Seydou]

Duidosodorowo

I'm gonna talk so much smack til Wednesday, you'd think Arsenal never lost yesterday.

Fuck Moyes tbh.

Guy is fuckin shit up too quick

[darkman]

Man U under Ferguson didn't cross heavily? Are you guys serious?

[JOHN DOE]

Crosses this w/e: Munich: 11 A Madrid: 17 R Madrid: 19 Chelsea: 19 Juve: 21 Dortmund: 24 City: 39 United: 82

[Yeshua]

Obviously under Moyes it has become worse, but that has always been your principle game, a rigid 4-4-2 with emphasis on getting out to the wingers to whip it in, which is why Valencia has been a key player for yous in recent years.

 

Of course you can revise history and act like you were playing great possesion based football under Sir Alex but you were not.

They can't be.

Not just couple years, from even when Beckham was there

 

Giggs, Valencia, Beckham, Ronaldo (to less extent), Young....Fergie's teams have always crossed a lot

[Fearless-Guy]

ushited fuckin up the base on purpose so they dont have to play man like derry city

[Afroman]

whe

when that 2nd goal went in

[Benicio del Toney]

The wingers thing I would agree with, every and any man is just trying to pump the ball into the box aimlessly now, some joketing.

They've had much more variation to their game in previous years than they do now, it's not even an opinion it's just what the facts say.

 

I didn't used to watch Man U and think that if you were good enough at defending crosses that you'd almost certainly be able to beat them as is the case now.

That still doesn't mean that they weren't relying on crosses before. United have been a average passing team for years now, they've always had more reliance on their wingers than other top teams around them have. The over reliance on it has been exacerbated with the hiring of Moyes, but crossing was arguably the main feature of their game under Ferguson as well.

They were good at crosses under Ferguson but not reliant on them as they had other ways of creating chances.

 

Is there any point in me showing you stats to show you the difference in the variation of their play from last season to this season or are you going to dismiss them?

[darkman]

They were reliant on crossing in the same way Barca rely on tika-taka. Doesn't mean they didn't score from other methods

 

Can't believe this is even a debate

Not really, what point of yours am i dismissing?

 

That they had more variation to their player last year, well obviously i've already stated that.

 

Have they been reliant on crosses in the past few years though, yes they have, in fact that was a key to their late goals in recent years, when it would get to the last 20 mins and they needed a goal they would bombard the box with crosses.

[Heero Yuy]

I was just about to say that, I think United strength is that they were a VERY well balanced team in terms of attacking. This team has definitely been told to get the balls out to the flanks as quickly as possible, wingers told to beat the man and get the ball in.

[Flojo]

I aren't getting into any sort of debate with you, it's the equivalent of pissing into the wind.

 

So yeah you're right.

[kerser]

Mick hucknell hasn't aged well atorrr

Niggas only 53

[Bruno Di Gradi]

Weah>>>___

[darkman]

Manchester Utd weren't reliant on crosses. What kind of nonsense? Tell me how most of RVN's goals came about?

 

They have always been a crossing team. Problem now is you have people like Young wipping them in instead of Giggs, Beckham, Ronaldo etc

 

You lot just want to blame everything on Moyes

 

Someone said Giggs didn't rely on crossing?

 

I've always said it but you guys need to stop posting when the games are on, seems like you're missing everything

I didn't say you had dismissed anything, I asked if you were going to.

 

I think we need to define what reliant is because you seem to be ignoring what I'm saying, if people say Liverpool are reliant on Suarez and then without him Sturridge picks up the slack then they're flat out wrong because there's proof that there is an alternative. Utilising something that you're good at and being reliant on it are two different things.
