Alex Ferguson will go down as one of the greatest managers in the English game. He has led United to countless domestic honors and even led the reds to the Champions league once. Fergie has an amazing ability to raise his players and have them fired up for every game whether it be Chelsea or Carlisle, but if the Scot has one flaw it has to be that he is not the most tactically savvy coach you will ever meet.                     Think that is unfair to say? All you have to do is look at Fergie's champs league record since that epic win over Bayern Munich. United have yet to reach the final again and a lot of times have been beaten up tactically by opposition that could be considered less talented than the squad Man U have assembled.                                             This was evident when United went out to a Jose Mourinho led Porto side a couple of years ago and when United failed to make it out of the group stages just 2 seasons ago. Last season was another example when Fergie's side seemed to be more talented all round than AC Milan, yet they were played off the park by Carlo Ancelotti's side. This Milan side then went on to the final against a Liverpool side far inferior to United, yet they were able to outplay the Italians even if they did lose in the end. United lost that tie to Milan because Fergie was unable to devise a plan to stop Kaka and expose Milan's creaking backline. Fergie's tactical naivety has been exposed again this year in his battles with Sven Goran Errikson. Fergie decide to start with one natural striker at home to City and Sven made sure his team took advantage in midfield with the aging Didi Hamann outplaying the younger, more skillful Anderson. Sven may have taken stick when he was England manager but has proved this season that he is tactically one of the best managers in the premier league. I am sure Man United will win the Premier league again under Ferguson, as his side are simply too good on most weekends for their inferior opposition.  But if the race ever comes down to a battle of tactics, i wouldn't put my money on the Scot coming out on top.
