I think it depends on the following.
1. Keeping Aguero, Silva and Yaya and keeping all of them and Kompany and Lescott as injury free as possible.
2. Finding a different way to play when neccesary. I think alot of clubs will have watched how QPR set up and think, we can do that and try and nick a point. Pace would help and finding a way to get Dzeko more involved would be good.
United were lucky this season in that they played Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea first 3 home games when all of those sides were unsettled. They also played Arsenal away when they were in chaos and Spurs when Bale was injured. I would expect United to lose more points against the bigger clubs next season.
After finishing 18 points above Arsenal. I can see why we are favourites.
For me, this is key. With all of our quality attackers on the pitch, we struggled to break down a packed defence for most of the game, purely because of the lack of pace in our build-up. Against these tactics, only a fast winger or good, quick, accurate balls from defence or the DMs into space behind their defence, for the likes of Aguero or Edin to chase, will give us good, clear chances on goal. We had a lot of shots on sunday, but most were snatched half-chances, or blasts into a mass of opposition players. This means that we need an alternative of a total change of style even more than we need new players.
I just hope that Roberto has the flexibility to adopt a change when required. We could be virtually unbeatable.
