Those tactics may be perfect for Set Pieces but, what about the rest of the game?

I play MU and best tactics are offensive. My team in the first year is:

De Gea
Rafael - DFC1 - DFC2 - Evra (DFC's should be Evans, Jones, Ferdinand, Vidic or Smalling... it's the same, they are beasts!)
MC1 (Advanced Playmaker) Carrick - MC2 (Box to Box) Fellaini
AMR Valencia/Nani - AML Young
ST1 Rooney/Alexandre Pato (Second striker) - ST2 Van Persie (Poacher)

I'm at first position in January, 4 points ahead City.
 
we may be able to help you but we need the rest of your tactics.

post match results, and your tactics screen, and we can start there.

But, since you are ManU, we can be sure that its your tactics.
