To attack or not to attack

Another deplorable performance by United last Saturday. A home defeat to Southampton. I still don't understand how the Tree gets to play every week. With him in the team, its more like a 10 vs 12 game. Without him, we look more creative, the ball keeps rolling in the right directions. With him in the team, we look far away from scoring, but better at defending set-pieces.                                 Rule 1: Don't let the opposition score.                                 Rule 2: Try and score a lucky winner, if possible.                                 Rule 3: Find Fellaini. So that is Louis van Gaal's philosophy in a nutshell. But it seems like the players are in a conflict- whether to play the United way or the LvG way. Because they are doing neither. Its horrifying to see Smalling play along side the forwards (not sure if I can use this word anymore) after 70 minutes, attempting to create something. Too bad we can't play Liverpool every week. Last
