So Rooney and LVG are both wrong?Yes it does seem harsh as they both had good games. Also no matter what Rooney says I'm sure his best position is as a proper striker these days.
Januzaj?Isnt it three starting (Blackett, Rafael, Evans) and 2 on the bench (Januzaj, Fletcher)?
Still some stat
Banging on about Mata being a defensive liability. Who gives a feck. Someone should ask him if he thinks Messi is a defensive liability, because he does less running than Mata. It's just as ridiculous a statement.What's he saying now? I've not got it on yet.
Dear God.Souness: Di Maria's final ball is disappointing.
It's his favourite pastime.God Nevills moaning about Mata..
Thought so. He said something like that when we bought him.He blabbed on about Mata not being a man utd type player, just as he's been blabbing about it for the last 8 months.
He never played for our Academy team .... so he isn't (technically or not)Been with us since he was 18, technically he is.
Said his final ball is disappointing.So what did Souness say about Di Maria?
Hes right though, when he was signed Nev was one of the only pundits that questioned it and tbh hes been proven to be spot on.God Nevills moaning about Mata..
He doesn't have a clue the moron. Probably thinks Lallana is better the bastard.Said his final ball is disappointing.
It's becoming tiresome now. Change the record nev.Banging on about Mata being a defensive liability. Who gives a feck. Someone should ask him if he thinks Messi is a defensive liability, because he does less running than Mata. It's just as ridiculous a statement.
Umm i mentioned him?Januzaj?
Mata being dropped is most probably a tactical decision since LVG probably thinks he would be easily bullied off the ball (and he wouldn't be wrong).Banging on about Mata being a defensive liability.

tbf,he was not bad last game.He takes some time to get going doesnt he?I'll stick my neck out and say RVP is going to score today.That's true but surely if someone is to be dropped it should be RvP, he's literally done nothing in every game so far, he looks like he can't be assed playing football.
Jesus H.
You said you wanted Januzaj to start because Rooney or Mata needed a rest and you're using Falcao playing as a striker and Rooney dropping into Mata's position for tactical reasons as proof of your point.
Nobody is getting rested, Mata is missing out because Van Gaal has made tactical decisions you doughnut. I never said we shouldn't change the XI, I said you were daft for suggesting we start resting players in September after 5 games played.
Rooney also said that LVG was encouraging all the new players to learn EnglishTweet

I honestly thought i had misheard him, what a bellend.Graham Sounness on the top assist maker in Europe, Di Maria: "His final ball is disappointing."
WHAT A CNUT.
No it isn't, Messi plays up front and Mata's a midfielder. Midfielders are expected to help out defensively.Banging on about Mata being a defensive liability. Who gives a feck.

LVG taking a massive shat on my line up prediction. Needs to buck up his ideas
You're really overstating it. He's 19, not exactly gonna be Paulo fecking Maldini is he? The truth is he's come in and done his job very well. I agree he shouldn't be in the XI, but only when all of our defenders are fit- they're not atm. IMO Smalling should've started but for Evans, who's been much worse than Blackett.You think this is enough? Our standards are getting lower and lower each week..he is good on the ball, but defensively way too shaky.
I am sure you had it down as 1 on the bench and mentioned Fletcher, Edited?Umm i mentioned him?
