feck off.

2 points in 3 matches, 7 attempts with Burnley's 9, whole defence looking like a bunch of clowns, everybody's getting injured and we have no fecking midfield.

Let's be honest, we look worse than what we were last season.

It's worrying that barely an improvement is being shown. I know only Di Maria of our new signings have played, but our original crop aren't getting better what so ever.

Can we sack Valencia & Young ?

Also our defenders bar Jones are a fecking liability.

RVP & Mata out of form.

Rooney slower than ever.

It's going to get worse before it gets better. Accept it and move on.

Simply not good enough. Our so called big name players aren't turning up, Rooney, RVP, Mata, Fletcher have all been terrible so far this season.

We're obviously in transition with loads of players bought, departed, and injured - and with a new manager and new system. And we're playing as such.

Pathetic performance. These guys will be tailed off by Xmas.

We need to switch to a 433 and buy a world class CM.

Terminate Valencia and Young's contracts immediately, at least if that's possible.

System doesn't work. The manager needs to swallow his pride and realise he's made a mistake.

Valencia hitting shins 1000x in the match.

Rooney's first touch.

Evan's passing.

Fletcher's "play".

I think Di Maria and Jones were our only bright spots today. RVP still clearly off the pace and Mata invisible.

Gone in 48 hours. Young, Valencia, Fletcher. Not good enough and won't start for top 8 team.

We could only dream.

Amongst footballing managerial 'Gods'
The 1-3-5-2 is not working. Change to a 1-4-2-2-2 or 1-4-2-1-3. The extra centerback in defense and the lack of competent wingbacks and midfielders are destroying our creativity upfront. Van Gaal also needs to make drastic changes including dropping one of van persie or rooney. Our squad and style of football is in a mess and Van Gaal is not directing it in the right direction.

Valencia was probably our best player - God knows how many times he helped our defense in the first half. As for his crosses - yes they hit opponents - but that has to happen when they have 7 players in the box and we have 1. Rooney and Rvp our 2 worst players

And Blackett actually looks the best of our defenders

Blackett - you can't pass, stop.
Evans - get your head checked.
Jones - alright, but still rasher than bacon (boom).
Fletcher - wow, an abominable performance.
Di Maria - An Angel from heaven.
Young and Valencia - two sides of the same hideous, disgustingly shit coin.
Mata - anonymous.
Rooney - Captain? :lol:
RVP - Unfit, uninterested, uncoordinated.

The season will get going after the break. Loads of different players in. But very damaging to have dropped 7 points in these games.

Sooner we stop playing this bollocks 352 the better. Our defense looks exposed and clearly cant handle it and our midfielders may as well be strikers because they're so far forward.

The 3-5-2 nonsense has to stop until we have players who can play. The whole defence look conference league standard and Valencia should be nowhere near that team.

Nothing will change until the formation does or the personnel in defence. Embarrassment

Absolute horror, apart from ADM, all the outfield players have lost any kind of basic footballing abilities that existed before. One dimensional shit played at the centre and defense. zero movement of the ball, terrible passing, average touches throughout. Lost for ideas from the beginning. Front two dismal.

I thought Burnley created the better chances. Rooney was poor. Mata was very bad. Van Persie still looks a bit rusty, but he was alright. Di Maria looked by far your best attacking player and nearly everything good went through him. I thought Young had a good game and Valencia wasn't bad either. Evans was sloppy and I thought De Gea was poor, particularly with his distribution.

Young, Valencia, Fletcher. The Unholy Trinity.

Di Maria will be a star.

Pathetic performance.

3 games in and we've created next to nothing. It's criminal when you have so many attacking talent and are struggling against teams who should be comfortable wins. The defence looks dreadful, apart from Jones who has done well.

The fear factor is gone, the confidence in the side isn't there. The formation doesn't work and suit us, I really hope we go 4-3-3.
