We seem to resemble a bottom half club in the dying minutes of matches. Even when we need to be piling on pressure, it often seems to be the other teams piling the pressure on us, truly unbelievable when we have players like Tevez, Silva, and Dzeko on the pitch and surely definitive proof that our midfield is broken in some way.

the attacking nature of our team has been stripped of all pace...look at utd...they have pace all over the place with nani, giggs and rooney isnt slow either...plus they have evra as well and valencia when fit....
we have noone with real pace except richards and swp (and he aint getting even near the subs bench!!)
our attack is too predictable, too slow (the build up play) and we dont attack in numbers....often utd have 5-6 players all attacking, all capabable of playing attacking football
the only players we regularly have in attack are tev, silva and at moment dzeko...milner tries to join in but is pretty much totally inaffective as an attacking force, barry isnt a forward thinking player and neither is dejong
RM has dismantled any goal threat we had within our squad....
we are the lowest goal scorers in the top 4 (by some margin) with only 39 goals
bolton in 8th have 35 and newcastle in 10th have 36
liverpool who have had real problems in that area this season have 33 and blackpool in 13th place have scored 35!!
RM needs to be more adventurous....he needs to trust the team more...he seemed to do it when we had balo in the team but since he has been out he has reverted to type again...and his post match comments dont do anythign to suggest that he is going to go more defensive!
this will lead to a very close race for 4th and with the squad we have that shouldnt happen
