i am boro in my 1st season and i am playing man utd in the leauge cup i am favorites according to the paper also the paper said if i do not got a good result my job could be on the line any tips to beat man utd ??????????????
well they are most like going to shred you down the flanks. rooney is going to be pulling deep all the time, it will play like a 4-2-3-1. weakness: considering you are boro, virtually none.
play 4-5-1 or 4-2-3-1 and hoep to get them on the counter. and pray they are off form
i think he meant you would only be favourites if your rep is higher in the first season if you edited it
BUT BEATING MAN UNITED
i think jp houghs away version of his 3-1-2-1-3 would prob be good because Man United (as long as they havent improved it) midfield is probably the weakest area because carrick can't hack big games or a physical game and only Fletcher has all the all round skills to play there for them whereas Hargreaves is normally comin back from injury (so unfit) and Anderson positioning is weak.
Also their wingers although quick arent that good crosser (except for giggs but goin physical on him reduces his threat a lot) which is why the three CBs (pogatetz, riggott and wheater i assume) would be good
don't use OIs other than weaker foot or tackling (hard) and you might do all right
But they will probably beat you anyway but whatever tactic you play unless u go 451 you will need an AMC
433 won't work if your Middlesbrough because they will kill you on the flanks on the counter
