With the attacking options Utd have and their at home against bottom of the league you'd expect them to get a few.

Not always the case though.

We have scored 3 goals 4 times this season. 4 once on the first day of the season. Tearing teams apart is not our MO

UTD playing heads and volleys at this stage

even Mata and Rooney are just getting it into the box early no matter what.

Fulham are just sitting about 12 yards out, waiting.

And Van Persie.

Cross defend shuffle the ball about a bit, cross, header, fulham hoof it.

Need attacking runs from mf (coutinho, to an extent henderson for liverpool), instead united have ball shufflers and crossing machines.

Sugarlumps

Fulham are awful to watch and thoroughly deserve to go down this season. United are devoid of ideas, dried up like a used a tampon. But will win convincingly.

keith16

Can't wait to see the byeline stats. I reckon United are at least 7-0 up.

Rayne Wooney

28 crosses in 32 minutes

Pathetic stuff

At Old Trafford, one team is struggling to avoid terminal decline. The other is Fulham.

Moyes really trying to capitalise on Mata's height with the crossing.

Chagan

I just want see us to play a through ball. We don't even have to score, just a pass into the box that is below waist height will do.

FutureGuy

This is an example of tactical ineptness if I have ever seen it.

It's like a war of attrition. Keep crossing again and again and again and hope something will go in.

Painful

Utd will win this but what a waste of players like Mata, Rooney and Rvp 's talents playing like this.

Technophobe

If Fulham manage to play a full game like this and get a result, well Holy God Miley...

michael9999 and BNMC. Stop it.

SlickRic

it's quite frightening how a team with Mata, Rooney and RVP can have no spontaneity about it.

Moyes is an anti-genius for being able to do that. fair play.

Also taking advantage of the small Fulham CB, he's only 6ft 6 :P

It will happen, by accident rather than plan and Utd will most likely score.

Damn that would've been amazing.

Lord TSC

Should be two down

Jesus christ

Grayditch

How did ya mess that up?

Chagan

There was once a time United countered dangerously like that.

I am pie

Charity miss there richardson. Didnt wanna score.

Owen_S

Nice counter attack there, I remember when Utd used to counter attack

Neville is embarrassed at this stage. Even pointed out Rooney trying the sneaky trip on a player in full flight. Brilliant.

TheFullDuck

according to whoscored,
Young attempted crosses - 7, successful - 0
Rafa AC-6 S-1
Rooney AC-6 S-0

Cypher_sounds

Christ this is shocking to watch..i need a drink

mike65

Richardson couldn't bring himself to score against Utd

hullaballoo

How did Richards miss that?

Danger781

If Fulham win, maybe Moyes might realise this doesn't work.

Should be 2-0.

michael999999

That should have been two!

Chagan

When did Sky get the Copa Italia?

Nuri Sahin

That'll come back to haunt Fulham. Harder to miss the target!

Sugarlumps

Wilkinson really pulls off the ghoul look well? Billy Corrigan crossed with Fester. Should be two zip. Bizarre Gary...Bizarre....

CSF

Cross cross cross cross cross. Mata and Van Persie completely wasted.

Moyes.

Moyes's problem is he has never really had a decent Striker at Everton.

Fellaini was his top scorer last year, Osman was near enough the top season before that, Tim Cahill was his main scorer for years and Arteta chipped in as well.

He had Saha and Yakubu who both struggled compared to there performances at previous clubs, well Saha wasn't bad for a while.

Anyway Everton never really had a great attacking forwards, but they always had a decent midfield.

Complete opposite of what you lot have.

Yee have some great attacking players, but ****e midfield.

Different styles for now.

Lord TSC

It's coming...thankfully...

Mars Bar

How did that not go in??

Fuhrer

What was Van Persie doing shooting from there?


He should have tried crossing it.

Rayne Wooney

37 crosses in 40 minutes

5 successful

Crazy

bucketybuck

We should try a long ball, or a cross, see if that works!

Well they're trying to cross everything so not that surprising. Nobody trying to work it in

Lord TSC

Mata is great. Such a shame he is being wasted.

Need a big change of tactics right now...

Cypher_sounds

Fulham are defending with 5 centre backs, why the hell would they keep crossing it ffs use yer heads

IvySlayer

Fulham seem content to let United have the ball
