This article made me start thinking about our current strike force and their weaknesses. In particular our difficulties in taking advantage of corners and fouls.
apparently Rooney wants more head (Colleen, you better get on that)

Wayne Rooney is hoping to score more goals with his head for Manchester United in the forthcoming season.
The 21-year-old netted 23 times last term as United took the Premier League title for the first time since 2003.
During his three-year's at Old Trafford Rooney has notched-up a total of 59 goals for the Red Devils but only one of these has come from a header when he scored the opener in United's 2-1 defeat at Arsenal in January.
"I've been working on my heading a lot in training, just taking crosses and working on my timing," Rooney told The Sun.
"I'm not bad in training but then the games come and...I dunno.
"I've only scored one header for United and I haven't a clue why. But, hopefully I'll get more this year.
"There's more to my game than just scoring. I went 12 games last season without a goal but I set them up for others and we were still winning, so it didn't bother me."

Adding Tevez doesn't exactly help the cause does it? While Ronaldo is fantastic in the air he hasn't been as effective in the air as with Portugal. Saha is great in the air, but he barely plays. Smudge is gone, and it isn't like Nani, owen nor anderson will be growing another foot anytime soon.
Not only do we have one of the ugliest teams, but we might just have one of the shortest!
This is a stat we could use that I haven't seen. The break down of what type of goals players score!
also do we see how often a player loses the ball to opposition (turn-overs to rip a yank term).
