ROONEy will play 90 mins no matter what.

 

[ottosec]

Another thrilling half at OT.

 

[Anustart89]

WTF, no subs?

Of course not. LvG was happy with the first half. We controlled the game and didn't give any chances away. Probably had a sly wank in the dressing room at half time.. YEESH YEESH ISH GOOD

 

[acnumber9]

No it's not. We're ponderous as a team because that's the system. Our biggest issue is the standard of attackers we have, and the system/what LVG is getting out them. It's weird for people to constantly blame Schneiderlin, Carrick and Schweinsteiger. Who are they supposed to pass it fast to exactly? Rooney? The guy plays like he's ancient and can't keep the ball in tight spaces.

Carrick plays the ball lights years quicker and with more purpose than Schweinsteier. Of course it's a problem. I'm not in the business of defending Rooney too much but it's easier to play with ball moved quicker than when the opposition already have their shape. He's not exactly doing much defending so it's not a lot to ask he do more than take an age to play the ball sideways.

 

[The Firestarter]

I was watching Barca wipe the floor with Granada before this. It's like you're watching a different sport.

Yes, me too. Like the teams are in different galaxies.

 

[Tracy Sells]

United and LVG still getting ripped at the start of the second half on TV here. That might be significant because any Glazers that have not made the trip over will be watching this feed.

 

[Kostur]

Seems like Herrera and Fellaini changed their positions now. We've got a problem @NinjaFletch.

 

[littlepeasoup]

Got bored of the match. Started looking at the £5mil+ house I'll buy when I win the lottery tonight.

Players need to take responsibility and not hide behind the manager. Herrrera and Mata are supposed to be creative players but they can't get into the game.

Sheffield aren't giving them much space or the players they want to pass to are being well marked.

 

[Shady]

Was that Ray Wilkins?

 

[Spock]

First two minutes of the second half: more of the same slow, boring shit.

 

[Marty1968]

More painful football with no invention....

 

[Raw]

Got bored of the match. Started looking at the £5mil+ house I'll buy when I win the lottery tonight.

Give us £10,000 when you win it mate

 

[Kostur]

Was that Ray Wilkins?

Nope, it was Wayne Rooney but he's just as slow.

 

[Ibi Dreams]

It's also on the players. Rooney and Memphis have been poor this season irrespective of the manager's tactics.

The problem is obviously more down to the manager and coaching than any of the players. Our problems are so consistent and we play the same way, generally regardless of who is in what position. It's the way they have been told to play, and it doesn't work

 

[Spoony]

We're Sheffield United and we do what we want?

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Is it Van Gaal’s?

 

[mitchmouse]

I am guessing United games will not be shown live much in the second half of the season.

They are being moved to the Disney Channel - help to put the kids to sleep

 

[BarstoolProphet]

Time to bring out the "Let's pretend we score a goal chant"?

 

[kps88]

Never a good sign when I settle in front of my laptop while the game is going on.

 

[lilcurt]

How has LVG still got a joke. This is comical.

 

[The Firestarter]

I am fairly certain no sane football executive will base the decision whether to fire his manager on the commentary of a pundit.

 

[Lay]

Commentators seem bored.

 

[Rado_N]

We're Sheffield United and we do what we want?

Apart from come up with their own songs!

 

[BarstoolProphet]

"We're Sheffield United, we do what we want"

 

[Dobba]

So it's just a coincidence that literally every attacking player apart from martial has been largely useless bar little runs of form since Van Gaal took over? Van Persie, Falcao, Di Maria, Memphis, Rooney, Mata, Herrera, etc... These are all good players bar Falcao who was shit due to the injury. But the others? Van Gaal just ruins attacking players and doesn't encourage a style that lends itself to good attacking play

I'm just interested how you came to the conclusion that Van Gaal hasn't been the sole target for almost all of the complaints made in the club's direction both on here and in the wider media. It defies all possible evidence.

 

[Hammerfell]

We're Sheffield United and we do what we want?

Yeah, and don't you forget it!

 

[Maradona10]

I hope everyone comes to watch next game at home at half time. What yhe feck ?

 

[Needham]

Of course not. LvG was happy with the first half. We controlled the game and didn't give any chances away. Probably had a sly wank in the dressing room at half time.. YEESH YEESH ISH GOOD

Nil nil porn

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

There's only one thing worse that a smug Michael Owen's commentary critique of Manchester united - the fact that I agree with him!

 

[mitchmouse]

ROONEy will play 90 mins no matter what.

are you blaming rooney for this bore fest - he's hardly seen the ball

 

[Im red2]

I know some worms who are better in the air than Fellaini

 

[Rado_N]

Commentators seem bored.

Although they probably are I don't think we'd be able to tell with their dull as feck voices.

 

[sunama]

I bet Vangle is delighted with the first half judging by his post-match comments after Swansea. You see, we're controlling the game and haven't allowed any chances in front of De Gea. If the fans want us to create chances and score goals, they can feck off and support City. Spoilt bastards.

LOL.
LVG probably does say that in private.

 

[Tracy Sells]

I am fairly certain no sane football executive will base the decision whether to fire his manager on the commentary of a pundit.

I would counter that by saying no sane manager would not take account of all influences that impact their brand/product.

 

[minoo-utd]

If, at this stage of their lives, they need to be told to shoot towards the rectangle at the end of the pitch I think they're in the wrong profession. I'm sure Crayola can find a few product testing jobs for them.

Yes. But a good manager at this level should come up with ideas tbf it feels like he is a dead man walking.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

I hope everyone comes to watch next game at home at half time. What yhe feck ?

That's way better than the plane idea

 

[littlepeasoup]

Is it Van Gaal’s?

I was going to make a joke about buying his house and hiring him as a manservant, but he'd annoy me by always passing me things sideways. I probably won't bother.

Give us £10,000 when you win it mate

Yeah, alright.

 

[Needham]

are you blaming rooney for this boor fest - he's hardly seen the ball

The bores are on the pitch. The boors are in this thread. Me included.
