Shite play, shite midfield on our side. We were holding the goddamned ball for god knows how many passes leading to nowhere. Patient build up? Yeah right. This isnt wigan, even wigan we had problems. And now thinking of champions league? Lol not with this frail midfield. Revamp the midfield. And we've been playing like this for so long yet saf aint changing it

I've never agreed so much on someone in this thread. Thanks mbekman.

I'd really wanna hear what is SAF's thoughts on the midfield, not the match. And please, not another englishman for a midfielder. There's so many attacking midfielders - Marek Hamsik, Johann Gourcuff, even we missed out on Arshavin when he was banging our defences when he was in Zenit S. Petersburg. Rooney and Berba aren't to be blamed. How many times do you see our central midfield passing the ball to each other without any intent going forward? Scholes is well past his fitness age, Carrick can hardly be accounted for, and please dont let me start on Anderson.

It's not of the result that bothers me, it's the performance throughout the season; mainly the midfield itself.

You know, the prospect of having Rooney as our playmaker is not too shabby I'd say. What do you guys think?

Having a trio of strikers, Berba and Chicarito upfront, with Rooney playing as the fox in the hole. He'd do wonders!
