Terrible, didn't even deserve a point.
The thing is, as much as the players were terrible, I find it hard to blame them so much when they are played out of position or whatever else. Finally the back 3 has been scrapped and I do like the diamond considering how we played earlier this year with but it's never going to get the same performances when you play Rooney and Januzaj in midfield and Di Maria further forward. It's stupid, and the fact that Herrera can't get a game is ridiculous. Surely playing 4-4-2 Diamond with players in the correct positions would generate better performances and results, why doesn't LVG see that? Or switch between that and a 4-2-3-1/4-3-3 formation. I would hope there is serious talks between him and the backroom staff cause I refuse that they all believe that this is the right way to go.
I do like LVG and yeah there is no doubt that it's better than last year, but the more he carries on with the stubbornness and weird tactical choices he's gonna put pressure on himself and things could get bleak. People say these are 'Moyes' type of performances but the're worse, because LVG should know better.
He complained about balance at the start of the season and with all the injuries fair enough it was a valid reason, but he's now the cause of the imbalance. It's his poor decisions whether it be formations or player selections that are now causing it and it's a worry if he can't see it or is too stubborn to change it.
