Manchester United 1:0 Crystal Palace

CallMeV · Nov 8, 2014

Take off the Belgians and put on the Spaniards please.

shaky · Nov 8, 2014

we nearly always have one rubbish half and one much better half, LVG obviously wanted the duff half out the way first. roll on the better half now!

laughtersassassin · Nov 8, 2014

NO SUBS

Dylan94 · Nov 8, 2014

I agree. Fellaini and Januzaj off. Herrera and Mata on.

jojojo · Nov 8, 2014

Put Herrera on, pull back into a diamond. Either take off Fellaini or take off Januzaj, but don't just let this lack of rhythm, lack of penetration persist.

K_Ash · Nov 8, 2014

Fellani's power is not needed for this game....throw in Herrera/Mata

Lennon · Nov 8, 2014

Finally, ADM more central.

Though I agree he's better centrally, this argument is also a bit of a cop out.

I think people who expected QPR-esque performances every week (or anything like that) are in for a shock, regardless of where he plays.

I don't expect world class performances from him every week, but I do expect him to be able to influence the game every week and I think he's far more likely to do that from a central position. He can go either side of a player when in there, while on either wing he can usually only go one way. (Outside when out left, inside when out right)

pseudo_canadian · Nov 8, 2014

Januzaj has turned quite selfish. Not a fan of passing the ball anymore.

To be fair they have had 1 shot but we have had 8.

Doesn't matter if we had 8 if they were dangerous ones.

Woodzy · Nov 8, 2014

Corner time! Lets switch on for that inevitable counter attack.

Henrik Larsson · Nov 8, 2014

I love how people demand we should create more, because Crystal are obviously not defending with 11 men behind the ball so it would've been very easy to just go out and create.

We've done alright, one small error lead to their chance. For the rest we've been dominating, as long as we don't break mentally we're fine today.

mav_9me · Nov 8, 2014

Still totally in support of LVG but he has to get rid of fellaini and get some movement and better play going.

naija_chinex · Nov 8, 2014

Januzaj is useless right now!

do9 · Nov 8, 2014

How to turn off slow motion on panasonic tv?

R3D-D3V1L · Nov 8, 2014

based on this season, giving janujaz the no.11 shirt is like giving no.7 shirt to Valencia

Raw · Nov 8, 2014

Come on, prime opportunity now

Ole's_toe_poke · Nov 8, 2014

There are no points to corners and freekicks these days.

Drifter · Nov 8, 2014

Good ball in from Di Maria.

Redlyn · Nov 8, 2014

At least his FKs are quality.

sizzling sausages · Nov 8, 2014

Someone really should be attacking that free.

Dylan94 · Nov 8, 2014

Is corner taking really that much of a different skill to taking free kicks from a similar position?

iAm20Legend · Nov 8, 2014

not a bad ball in from ADM

That's the real problem of all our shots only Shaw's really came close to goal and we didn't create a single clear cut chance in the first half at all.

bosnian_red · Nov 8, 2014

How can his free kicks be consistently.amazing but corners consistently shite? I genuinely don't understand

I for one am beginning to question his tactical nous.

Is he really a tactical genius or is he the manager of man utd?

Janujaz should be a number 10 and nothing else. He just keeps putting him on the wing and Janujaz keeps flopping.

Di Maria is ineffective on the wing. At least put him back centrally so we can see whether it is position or form

Di Maria is still, STILL, taking corners.

Is van Gaal an idiot? Or is he just too stubborn to change things

Probably not an idiot since he's been manager of Barca, Bayern, Ajax, Manchester United, plus all the trophies he's won and paved the success for others. Not stubborn either considering how many changes he's already made this year. Don't think there's much he can do if either the players aren't playing the way he wants, or if he's trying to find the right balance still.

Isn't there any age limit on refs? This fecker looks 60.

Perhaps he's used to playing only with Real Madrid class talent, not the rubbish that's been shown

He had Ronaldo and Bale running off the ball. Compare that with RVP and Rooney.

I keep beating on this drum but Rooney offers nothing as a a midfielder. First touch and passing simply aren't good enough. Striker or bust.

---------------DDG------------
Valencia-----Mcnair----Blind-----Shaw

-------------Carrick---------------------
------ADM----Herrera---Januzaj

------------Rooney------------
-----------RVP---------------

Forget about the physicality Fellaini brings. He's not even influencing the midfield at all and jogs back when CP brings the ball forwards instead of getting back to defend. Attacking, he also offers nothing of note I'd rather stick something useful like Herrera to boost our attack and pressing and stick Rooney where he belongs instead of in midfield.

hobbers · Nov 8, 2014

Finally a good set piece.

No where near enough tempo in our attack. Fellaini is cumbersome. Valencia has the brain of a slug can only function at walking pace on the ball. Januzaj and Di Maria are shot of confidence and dont seem to want to try to take anyone on. RVP seems to have forgotten how to football.

vibe · Nov 8, 2014

RvP more suited for a museum than a football pitch right now.

Shark · Nov 8, 2014

This had been a bit better so far.

hbgreg · Nov 8, 2014

Great free kick, Falcao would of been on the end of it IF HE PLAYED

I was just pointing out you overrated Palace in the first half.

GHam · Nov 8, 2014

Was that handball a yellow?

Vindal · Nov 8, 2014

Carrick seems to offer so little in midfield - slowmo passing, no movement, basically nothing to warrant a spot on the field

The slope could be stuffing him up.

GifLord · Nov 8, 2014

rvp shot

Trizy · Nov 8, 2014

Pass, pass, pass, back pass, side pass, pass, pass, pass, pass, miss, lose possession, get back into position, win back possession.. Rinse and repeat.

laughtersassassin · Nov 8, 2014

great free kick
