I'll spare you guys the rant, but I was just skimming through some of the threads and find some of the titles and opionions frustrating.
You need balance in a team and you need a balance of several attributes to be a top class player.
I have hinted on this subject in my old thread that this season the players are not playing like one would traditionally expect them too and I hope we can get back to it, because it's about balance.
Right now, we have Tevez - a striker - playing a midfielder, we have a lift winger in Park, whose play and skill are more reminiscent of a left back, we have Ronaldo who is doubling up as a striker, we have Rooney - a striker - playing as a left winger etc etc.
Yes, it works on most days, but sometimes it can come undone.
I hope it won't be the case tonight. Our second half performance against Spurs has been a confidence for everyone connected to the club, but I just feel we need more balance back in the squad and with the players.
A striker with great workrate, but less accuracy in his finishing, positioning, as well as passing is not as valuable as a striker who has maybe slightly less work rate, but is more gifted in the other areas.
Similarly, a striker like Berbatov, who has been praised by Sir Alex for his composure and touch could probably benefit from raising the parts of his game, which not up to par yet.
It's about balance and I just feel that the team is slightly unblaanced at the moment.
Intrisically, no single virtue could be "over-rated", but if one single virtue is all you've got, then yeah, it's over-rated alright.
So, in summary, I'd like our players to be more balanced and our team to be more balanced.
That would mean players addressing parts of their game in training and management adding to the squad properly.
I would relaly like to see our strikers plays as strikers, not midfielders and boy would I'd like to see our wingers play like wingers.
Thanks...
(I hope I explained myself clearly enough to avoid having stated the bleeding obvious).
