He would have been better moving Rooney forward and putting Herrera into a 3 man midfield.

Let's fire Mourinho right away and get in someone who actually knows how to get something out of our players.
It this post for real !!! 5 games into the season and this.
FFS some of you need to get a grip.
Personally would've started Herrera in midfield in place of Rooney (or move Rooney up top and drop Zlatan whilst bringing in Herrera).One person could be doing Rooney and Fellaini's job, and doing both them better, and he's on the bench.These guys aren't even good.
Want a hug?I miss Fergie
The old frustrations that I felt under Lvg, which had disappeared, have now started to re surface again.Savage claiming Rooney's wasted in this formation compared to a #10. He's no different regardless.
He should have attempted it, however horrible the outcome would have been.Nice Hollywood ball Rooney you Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.Arsenal smashed 3 past these in the first half.
Ridiculous to say that
Pogba and Shaw were looking to counter. Martial should have passed the ball to PogbaI can see us shipping another goal any time nowI know that matchday threads should usualy not be taken super seriously, but at least half a dozen people jumping on Martial after the goal is really weird. The lad obviously suffered damage from the knock on his head. If you want to blame someone, blame your medical staff. He should have never been out there again in the first place.I'm still fuming that foul wasn't called.
Absolutely fecking disgraceful refereeing.
It's marginalCommentator just said
"Ashley Young, once of this parish"
He also mentioned the City game was postponed due to "biblical floods"You can see from this game and every game we play we need a player to take control of the midfield. Carrick is the only player in our squad who can do anything of the sort.Bring on Memphis. He tends to do well against small time opposition.
Ah wait I remember thursday now, nevermind.Ander Herrera on for Wayne Rooney at half time, push Paul Pogba further forward.It feels like we have signed a central midfielder every summer for the last decade and still have the shittest midfield in the league.
Why - because we look like crap despite him spending £150 million - while all the other topteams are playing nice football and winning ?We're a million miles away from the top teams in this league.
Did Wenger pick his team and formation out of a hat like our manager did?Rooney also fecking shit againsome of our fans deserve all the shit they get....only ever positive when we are winning.A load of square lumps of shit being forced into round holes, also made from and filled with, shit.
Honestly at this point we just need to get rid of the likes of Fellaini, Rooney. Those who have underperformed the last 3 years and caused our attack to basically become stagnant and impotent.
He's got less left foot than Valencia.Pep is the better manager.With the exception of the arsenal drilling. I cant remember a worst 1st half performance.This fecking idiot going on and on about Rooney and his position. Is the only thing he talking about.
I thought that was meant to be after tiring them out in the first half? They've ran us raggedNo yellow for Deeney?We'll be lucky to get top four this year at this rate. i just cannot understand it. We are an incredibly mentally week side.Zlatan and Rooney are playing very badly.
He has lost it compared to "Old Mourinho". His time at Real Madrid fundementally broke him as a manager - he's never been the same since. Anyone who thought we were appointing the Mourinho of old hasn't been paying attention.
That said, he's still a huge upgrade over LvG and ought to get us top four.So apparently twatting a player with full force is perfectly legal so long as you get a touch on the ball
If you win the ball beforehand of course you can tackle hard. If I tackled like that I would be disgusted if a foul was given against me.Still early days. Can see more goals in this game.......
