You must have started watching football tonight then.The worst match I've ever seen. Never been this angry after a match. Ever.
Sorry, but I stopped reading when you said Mata wasn't shite. It was one of his worst performances u have seen in any shirt. He's a very good player but not saying he was poor today is ludicrous.Some major overreaction in the matchday thread. Mata wasn’t terrible and we did go with a lightweight midfield. We didn’t have to. Then Louis makes a terrible sub in throwing on Fellaini for Herrera, further limiting our strength in midfield and people get all upset about Mata not being able to dominate a midfield with a clearly tired Bastian. And what does Fellaini do? What he was of course going to do unless he came on as a #10: slow us down and lose more possession.
Terrible about Shaw. Absolutely devastating.
But there are major positives in the game - this is where we saw Martial can become our main striker and we look threatening with him, he’s strong in holding up the ball and his link up play is top class for a 19 year old. Lining up with actual wingers makes us better. Maybe we’ll see youngsters get a chance on the right.
I think we were extremely unfortunate to lose the game. Bad mistakes for sure, but we looked much the better side IMV, until van Gaal made his subs.
Yes he did it in the Summer. Now he'll pick the fruits.Gaal did nothing wrong today.
Yeah I agree. I don't think you can read to much in to it, loosing Shaw the way we did and then having to bring in Rojo for his first game of the season caused issues.One of those nights, couple of poor performances but I thought we looked dangerous going forward. Shaw injury is the biggest blow.
He shipped out all of our strikers except Rooney (who couldn't finish his dinner--well, actually...) and brought in a 19 year old. He refused to sign a centerback and is playing a CM there instead.Can't believe LVG injured Rooney and Shaw, give Darmian a brain fart, organise a referee who can't see pen if it hit him in the face, gave Mata the touch of a rapist in the final 3rd.
Did they bollocks.PSV played us off the pitch.
Not sure if Martial being a pub player or "biggest shock in the champions league this so far this season" (1 game in) is more knee jerk.Wow.
Better than you do, that much's obvious.Mate... Do you watch football? Do you understand it?
Not sure if it was the case. Judging from his interviews, players that could improve us (Muller, Neymar, Bale) just not available.Mostly is. His lack of transfer in the attacking department is what has led to this situation where we have to depend on Fellaini coming on for long balls when we need a goal.
Footballers get injuries. Everyone knows that which is why most don't leave themselves with a fairly average target man to be our best source of chasing a goal. The Shaw isn't really relevant to that. We dominate games like that all the time. And Van Gaal signed most of those players.Can't believe LVG injured Rooney and Shaw, give Darmian a brain fart, organise a referee who can't see pen if it hit him in the face, gave Mata the touch of a rapist in the final 3rd.
That game is all on the players, when you dominate a game like that and don't win, you'll be mental to blame LVG.
I think that's a bit harsh. Lucky deflection for their first goal. Before that they didn't trouble us. They had a few more chances then when we puhed forward after they equalized.How did we lose this game?
United were the better team over the 90 minutes, had plenty of chances but somehow managed to blow a 1:0 lead and lose.
A massively frustrating night, with David De Gea having almost nothing to do except pick the ball out of his net twice. United took a well deserved first-half lead through Memphis but PSV hit back from a corner and then in the second-half snuck into the lead with a well worked counter-attack.
United's play became increasingly desperate towards the end, with desperate long balls to Fellaini which were never effective. It should never have come to that.
Despite United's dominance in most matches this season, they're still a soft touch at the back. Two more bad goals to concede tonight and if they can't sort that out, there'll be more results like this.
With the shocking leg break for Luke Shaw, it's turned into a pretty horrible night.
Yeah, we were very wasteful. That will happen though when two of the attackers are so young.But only 5 on target...
You must have started watching football tonight then.
What! We had 60% of the ball and controlled the match for the majority of the time. It is our soft defending which cost us the goals. Our attack was toothless, as usual, so I am not sure where you get the idea that our attacking led to us losing control of the match.Wonder how those who hated control and wanted attacking football liked tonight?
What an absolute turd of an opinion. Already!Gonna throw it out there, Marital looks like a pub player
And you. Actually pretend you watched the game mate!PSV played us off the pitch.
PSV. Seriously. PS fecking V.
