The Very Short Media Blackout

After today's Champion League win over Marseille I was poking my head about on sky sports and found a couple of funny pictures from the blackout when Sir Alex wouldn't talk with any of the media.

As a fan, I thought it was great to see Sir Alex sticking to his guns and not speaking out about anything that happened with that Chelsea game and Liverpool game, but as a aspiring premier league journalist, I was pretty disappointed how long it took for ANY sort of news to come out of the camp.

Anyways, after tuning into Talksport today, I thought about the question they asked(How would you set up the strikers for MUFC, with Hernandez continuing to score?) and decided that I would personally keep it how it's been. Rooney has been doing a damn well job as a striker that is going to continue to feed balls to his partner, while Berbatov to me is someone who is that long range striker that the squad needs.

So Man Utd has Rooney who has kind of given up on going for the glory of being the main central striker, having a sort of horrendous season (26 goals during 09-10 season, while only 7 for the 10-11 season.), but now he has stepped up into a position that he has found is working great for him, being sort of taking his spot nearer the mid field and letting Hernandez play however he likes forward of him. Then Berbatov is our one touch long striker, who has made some great goals though he has not played in the past couple of games.

How would you set it up, would you keep Rooney as the other striker so he can feed either Hernandez, or would you take him away and maybe move him into the mid field and give Berbatov and Hernandez an ultimate passing and ball handling mid fielder in Rooney?

Personally, I'd like to still see Rooney go score 20 goals in the next EPL game, but I am still wanting to see the man who dominated last season and that just isn't the case anymore, especially if it means we have a chance at winning the Treble now.
