Dear MON,
Please can we look for talent in defense this summer? To me this has been the sore thumb and the reason why we are looking up at the four spots available for Champions League play. Specifically outside backs. I think Cuellar, Knight, Davies, and Laursen are solid enough. The midfield and forwards are strong enough, but the two game eight goal bleed out has to stop. Luke Young has looked out of his depth.
Not keeping a clean sheet in 2 months is not Friedel's fault, though the first goal Sunday certainly was (whether to blame him for not calling for the ball Milner eventually knocked to him or his positioning on the resulting set piece). The trend that started against Stoke of being leaky when we could least afford to be continued on the weekend, as the team seemed to sit back and take what was coming in the last 20 minutes at Old Trafford.
