I am almost certain his subs are mostly pre decided.His game management is dreadful and he consistently makes weird decisions the sooner we are rid the better. I'd rather have Moyes at this stage!
Exactly:I am almost certain his subs are mostly pre decided.
He changes a bit if forced but very stubborn otherwise.
I think this has been noted a few times before. It's like he's playing Classic mode on FM and he's using the game plans feature. That Mensah sub was weird as feck.I am almost certain his subs are mostly pre decided.

this is what grinds my gears. its like he predicts what he is going to do beforehand like the actual game in realtime is irrelevantIt's blatantly obvious that he has his subs in mind before the game starts which is why they are always so baffling from a performance and tactical perspective.
You think he's going to pass up that golden opportunity to substitute a full-back?What was Fosu Mensah coming on for Darmian all about ? Why not a attacking change and if a RB then why not Varela ?
Bizarre thing was that he was staying back instead of charging forwards either.
Who do we have on the bench that has done something "to prove he's a man to bring on when we need a goal"?What the hell has Memphis done to prove he's the man to bring on when we need a goal? Especially when we have to move Martial central and sub Rashford out.
That's no reason to bring on someone who's been utter garbage for the entire season to the extent he's a liability going forward.Who do we have on the bench that has done something "to prove he's a man to bring on when we need a goal"?
Beats me, mate. That's on Van Gaal, as well. I'd have been happy having Welbeck, Nani or Hernandez coming off the bench for us. Players who have done the job for us before. (Sorry Louis, I'm living in the past here.)Who do we have on the bench that has done something "to prove he's a man to bring on when we need a goal"?
Varela had to come off due to injury anywayHe was gonna bring on Januzaj for Carrick and we scored.
He bottled that attacking sub then.
And even then, you could reasonably argue that that substitution came back to bite them for the shoot out that did knock them out...Probably the only sub he ever got right in his entire managerial career is bringing on Krul during the WC. Thats about it.
At which point he could be adventurous... Maybe move Lingard to full back... Or Blind and move Carrick back... Or just anything with a bit of adventure.The reason he subbed Rojo for Darmian was that Rojo's match fitness is not optimal. He was sweating like a pig and looked tired just 20 minutes in. I'm guessing that is why. Hence, he would blame injuries if he were to be questioned about making such a bad sub.
