    Pretty disappointing that we’ve focussed on trying to concede less than score more. The focus went all on the defence end of last season but our scoring slowed considerably too.

      If we tried to focus more on attack with our injuries then we would’ve still been worse at attack because of the injuries and our defense would’ve been worse because the emphasis on a attack that isn’t better than last season’s.

      Happy the manager is working with what he has instead of forcing something else.

        This is particularly funny cause his attack won him more titles than his defence did. I think he actually won the prem with the worst defence

        “In fact, Sir Alex was the master for winning titles with an inferior defence - mitigated with a league-topping attack. Manchester United only had the seventh best defence when they won the title in 1996/97, shipping 44 goals - Blackburn conceded fewer and finished in 13th place. And Fergie continued in the same vein, having only the fourth best defence in 1998/99, the sixth best in 1999/00 and fifth best in 2012/13. In each of those title-winning seasons, United scored more goals than any other team.”
