sound like van gaal´s philosophy is catching on. He loves pointless possession.
All true and now I'm reminded of that Newcaste game and will be shitting it, thanksYou miss the part where they get the ball, counter attack, and we start p'n ourselves. All in all though your summary is totally right. We look terrible. Shades of the home game we lost last season against Newcastle.
3-5Why did we go away from the 4-4-2 Diamond when we were actually playing good football then?
Feck knowsWhy did we go away from the 4-4-2 Diamond when we were actually playing good football then?
Fellaini has played well. I'd be inclined to go a bit narrower and put Herrera on for Januzaj.Take off fellani and put hererra back on ffs
Lol - I know we all get a bit emotional on match day but there seemed to be more uses of the word 'disgrace' than was really warranted. Come on now, Utd. Calm us down a bit.Knees jerking so bad I wonder how they even stay upright.
Angel Marked out of it again. It doesn't help that the movement is so slow up top, there is very little to aim for, and his deliveries are more often than not dangerous. Go diamond with di Maria in the whole. Bolasie is a danger though if given enough space to run at Valencia.I kind of agree with this, but we'll also need to go diamond I think; Angel Di Maria has gone to absolute Ashley-young-level shite on the wing.
Don't forget Januzaj playing.ADM's corners, Rooney in midfield, ADM on the wing, RVP isolated up front. Wtf is LVG trying to accomplish there ?
Would be great to see LVG on the sideline urging them forward getting up them. Show some passion.The way we're playing, top 6 would be a bloody achievement!!
Constantly breaking down the play for safe backpasses is annoying me too, but Carrick is sitting deep and offering no bursts of intent. His movement forward is very poor, it seems to me he's been told to protect our central defence and play it safe. Having seen what Herrera can do in the same position makes Carrick look slow and passive to me.Disagree tbh Carrick has been playing the ball forward mostly into RVPs feet, the game slows down when the forward players get the ball as instead of taking on their man, they play the ball back.
Or it means we are controlling the game just not creating clear cut chances which is the next step.Proof stats mean feck all. Only shaw's run is worthy of a highlights reel.
And ADM's corners weren't this bad at the start either, I thoughtI don't whether it is stubbornness or he sees something we don't, but the previous formation with Di Maria, Herrera,Blind in midfield was working a lot better for us.
People forgot so soon that Adnan was our savior last season, and of course our youth product as well.This, ADM is the angel here, they both have been terrible and they have added nothing since West Brom.
It's so obvious.Herrera and mata for adnan and felliani then switch to diamond.
Weird how he said we didn't have good enough wingers to play wingers. So we are playing with not good enough wingers.We need to go back to the diamond and with two strikers upfront. That wide play is killing us.
I agree with you. Problem is we don't really know which newbie comments caught the eye of the guy that criticised the newbies in the first place.We're not all that bad. Most of them annoy the good ones amongst us as well
Or try it with Januzaj instead of Herrera. I can only repeat myself. adnan isn't a winger.On with Herrera, off with Adnan and back to the diamond.
.........Carrick
..Fellaini...Di Maria
.........Herrera
This ffs. Fellaini is not what we need consistently, only for certain kinds of games. Also get Adnan off. Why are we sacrificing all that earlier dynamism we had going forward in earlier games? Also trying to accommodate Rooney and RVP all the time. Just choose one ffs and stick with it!Take off fellani and put hererra back on ffs
Right because that didn't have a lot to do with the shit refereeing and some awful defensive errors...
ADM has been terrible at corners for the last few games but one area of his game which I thought was solid today.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
Ask Louis. I didn't make the decision.Right because that didn't have a lot to do with the shit refereeing and some awful defensive errors...
Fellaini wasn't poor, just not necessary today.RVP, ADM and Januzaj have been poor for weeks, yet everyone insists that Fellaini is to blame...
Exactly and to be honest, I see some full member posts on here that are of the same annoying level.I agree with you. Problem is we don't really know which newbie comments caught the eye of the guy that criticised the newbies in the first place.
