What problems? These are problems a lot of other teams would like to have. They aren’t better than Bayern or Barca. But that’s all I’ll give you right now.

Their midfield “weakness” is overstated, as they often bypass midfield, or have wing backs flying forward and hitting in crosses.

The other thing to consider with their recent lack of scoring is that RVP has been seriously off for a month or so now. He’s missing opportunities that he buried earlier in the season and his corners (he takes all the right sided corners) have been crap for about the same amount of time. When he limped off today, it made me wonder if he’s been nursing something for a while.

Also, Rooney has been injured and sick and just hasn’t been able to get any kind of run of form. We all know what Rusty Rooney looks like. He needs to play a lot to be effective and it’s been a rough season for him.

Then consider all the winger problems they’ve had: Nani and Young have also been injured off and on all season, everyone figured out that Valencia only has one foot and Kagawa hasn’t gotten steady time either. They’ve really got a LOT of people playing at 80% right now….but they have so many options that it seems that someone is usually good enough to score.

And, their defense has been very good. SAF has nicely rotated Rio/Vidic/Evans and Vidic and De Gea have sorted out whatever issues were causing Vidic to glare the the young kid all the time.
