The ironic thing is that with 2 supposed defensive didfielders, one would think theoretically that teams would have less chances against us.
But in reality, it works the opposite way. With 2 defensive midfielders, we are just waiting to be attacked. And when we do wrestle the ball away from the opposition, they are both just sitting there, one the toes of our CBs making no movements going forward, forcing us to go long or sideways. It's just so horrible to watch.
Giggs and Scholes are about 70 years old combined, but yet United get more out of those 2 than we do out of younger, fitter players. We're seriously lacking in talent, in midfield.

.. and who can hardly move.
It truly is mind boggling how we have such poor footballers at our club. From the 'best midfielder in the world', to one of the worst in the top flight. Bowyer and Gardner seemed more talented footballers than our two. Yet, our two are supposed to be internationals.
