Just saw a stat that we have only had 2 away league defeats in the last calendar year.
I wonder what this speaks about our style of play at home being different than away, or do our opponent's plan differently?
Do they come to Old Trafford thinking they can get something and attack, putting us under pressure?
Are we too patient when hosting teams and need to put them under constant pressure from the start more often? (do we do that enough and have just missed the chances that the team has worked so hard to create?)
Are teams more guarded when they are at home because they respect how dangerous we can be, and this suits us? Or do they try to play football, and we make them pay?
I can think of circumstances where all of the above are true, and I'm sure there are more...
It is puzzling though...
I'll just say that I would be happier to attack more, and that I hate Carlos Quieroz. That is all.
