Campbell and Flamini are playing roles guys like Anderson, Fletcher, O'Shea, Ji-Sung etc, played on so many of United's title teams. 3-4 WC players, 5-6 guys who are elite at their positions in the epl, and then 1-2 guys who give it 120% and fit well within the system and locker room.


I can see that.

The Flamini, Ramsey pairing in midfield needs to end very quickly. I know we have no other options there but they could have easily cost us the match. Just like the commentators were saying Ramsey needs to stop going so far forward, especially up 2-0. Flamini is not athletic or skilled enough to cover the space Ramsey was leaving today and that is not a shot at Flamini.

I think Dixon was overblowing quite a bit. The movements were late runs to overload a certain section of the defense, and usually they were the right movement. The movement alone created three chances. It's hard to conceive a situation where they would lead to a direct counter-attack, since when Ramsey moves forward, there were at least defensive players behind the ball. Ramsey does have to temper his movement, but only when he plays with a player like Wilshere who also likes to drive from deep.
