Nick OGS20 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 for a minute yesterday i thought Fergie had done what i always do on FM - you pick your squad for a friendly, and with so many subs to pick the first four or five are defenders. you then forget to change this when it gets to a proper game with limited subs and realise you've got a bench with all the game-changing ability of Jason Lee in a coma :*( then i realised it was actually because we have no squad \O/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
alilaw Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 tbh, when he's back from injury I think we should look to offload Ole. No point in him needlessly taking a substitutes place ahead of any 4th choice left backs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was also bizarre that amongst the general dross, there were a few moments of brilliance as well. One great turn that left two defenders for dead sticks in the mind, as well as that driving run where he did a great little drop off back heel. And then each time, when i thought that was him starting to come on to a game, it was back to the lethargy again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nick OGS20 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 just a thought on the squad depth issue - i know we've all had a moan about all the youngsters being sent out on loan and largely attributed it to desperate glazer cost-cutting (and i still think there's merit to that argument), but i've just been looking at the reserve fixture list and Fergie's argument that the reserve system isn't good enough has more than a ring of truth to it: even before you get into the issue of quality, now the reserve league has just 10 teams, the quantity of games is utterly ridiculous - between the Sheffield United home game on 9/11/06 to our next home game (!) on 25/1/06, we have just two reserve league games and 1/2 MSC ties. how utterly pathetic. mainly ranting because it means much less games to get to, but it's got to make maintaining a decent size squad ridiculously hard, because unless you rotate liverpool-style (and how well that's working atm ), there's simply no way of keeping players outside your first XI at any kind of match fitness :/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
