The entire game won't be based on counter attack, but it will be a crucial element in what we do.
What we need is to keep hold of the ball. Our ball retention against West Brom was perfect. Against United it will be more difficult of course but too often we let them play how they like in our own back yard. Last years Scholes debacle was a case in point.
Keep the ball. We don't need to be gung ho but patient and expose them when the time is right.
When they have it, press and counter.
