vs Man City he created the chances for his team mates without receiving one himself, even though the team played well.
vs Chelsea he didn't get anything from his team mates.

We take for granted the number of chances he often creates from nothing, and we just can't expect him to do it on his own in all of the games.

Man United averaging just 1.7 points per game this season (34pts/20gm). 1.7pts * 38 games = 65pts. Haven't had fewer than 75pts since 90/91.
 
I take it that the Swedish league isn't that major?

AIK: Stuart Baxter, Richard Money (ex lfc player), Alex Miller (ex lfc coach)
 
BBC: For all the talk of his slow start as Manchester United boss, it took Sir Alex Ferguson 44 games at Old Trafford to rack up five home defeats. David Moyes has done the same in just 16.

[article=http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11096/9098542/style-issues]Manchester United top the Premier League for crosses per game, swinging in an average of 26.65 of them in their 20 league games so far this season. In the New Year's Day defeat at home to Tottenham, they took the policy to new levels. A whopping 47 crosses were lobbed goalwards for Vlad Chiriches and Michael Dawson to deal with. That was a United high for the season and more than in any game they played last term. It isn't proving an efficient use of the ball in the final third.

This is precisely the area of the field where the best teams will play an intricate through-ball to find a breakthrough. Tellingly, that's exactly what the impressive Januzaj did to create Danny Welbeck's goal on Wednesday. It leads to better quality opportunities and United are eschewing plenty of them: 423 of the 533 crosses hurled in have failed to find their target (again, a Premier League high). That's 423 chances to do something better in the last third that have been wasted.

It's a disjointed tactic too. Firstly, an emphasis on crossing necessitates quality in wide areas. While United have the numbers, the world-class wingers of the past are missing. Moyes' team has become wilfully reliant on the most mercurial figures in the squad, with the ruthless Robin van Persie reduced to the role of waiting in the box for the ball to arrive from the flanks.

Not only is this supply a problem but these wingers are not a direct source of goals either. Ronaldo was a revelation, Beckham averaged more than seven goals per season and Giggs netted 81 goals in his first 12 Premier League campaigns. In the 1994/95 season, Kanchelskis was even the top scorer. In 2013/14, Giggs, Ashley Young, Nani, Antonio Valencia and Wilfried Zaha have contributed just two goals between them. Only young Januzaj - with three goals - has scored more than once.[/article]
 
not hard to top that table with Januzaj and Young in their squad, surprises me Chelsea don't have more with Oscar/Luiz/Ramires
