Paul Scholes Slams Louis van Gaal’s Tactics for Not Producing Enough Goals.

Manchester United legend Paul Scholes has been critical of the formation and tactics currently being employed by manager Louis van Gaal, stating that the 3-5-2  formation the Dutchman favours won’t bring enough goals to make the team successful.

Writing in his column for the London Evening Standard, Scholes went in to detail on his thoughts, explaining, “My issue with it has always been that it gives a team the security of having possession without offering them the opportunities from which they might score the goals that win the game.”

United were beaten by Southampton at Old Trafford last weekend after failing to create enough chances, mustering zero shots on target.

“Angel Di Maria has the pace but is not a centre-forward,” Scholes continued. “As a player, when I was trying to open up opposing teams, a ball dropped in behind the full-back to a wide player often had the desired effect of pulling a defence out of shape.

“It dragged the full-back across to cover, then the centre-back was often drawn to the space left behind, which created room for the strikers to score goals.

“In a 3-5-2 formation, that width is just not there for United. Luke Shaw is an orthodox left-back being asked to play wing-back. Antonio Valencia has lost some of that great pace he once had, and it is more difficult for him to get past players when his starting position is so deep.

“There is no doubt that 3-5-2 helps you keep the ball. The three centre-halves and the three central midfielders can pass it around to their heart’s content.

“The problem comes when you try to hurt teams in attacking areas. You can have all the possession you like, but if you are not creating ‘2 vs 1′ situations where you outnumber your opposition and get behind them, then you are not going to score enough goals.”

It was thought that van Gaal was favouring the system while he was restricted by the club’s early season injury crisis, but now that it has abated he could yet revert to a flat back four.
