Misread that as grave
Van Persie is the new face of Hugo Boss
Exactly. Even when he didn't perform well, he (like Rooney) have been scoring goals, at least.I don't think he should take much criticism for this season. His strike rate (goals/min) was still amazing (best in his career I think I read somewhere?) considering we played so shit and the service to him was more suited to a big man striker like Carroll. Not forgetting his injuries. The criticism he has received this season has been way disproportionate.

Is it a 3-5-2? Can't quite figure it out. Where's Robben playing?Like the formation Holland are using tonight. Shows LVG is flexible.
That formation could accommodate Rooney, RVP and Mata in close to their natural positions and also give plenty of game time to Welbeck, Kagawa, Januzaj, Hernandez, etc.
If he adopted that at United we could focus on strengthening the defence and central midfield and not be unduly concerned with the attacking options, which for me is where the priority should be.
According to Whoscored and other sites, he is up front with RVP.Is it a 3-5-2? Can't can't figure it out. Where's Robben playing?
If Holland want a squad for the WC, they better abandon this game.
Was thinking the same. It's almost as if Ghana have forgotten that this is a friendly. Could have had injuries to Robben and van Persie already.If Holland want a squad for the WC, they better abandon this game.
Ok, cheers. Like you said, it could work with our current players, and would allow us to give plenty of time to all of our players in their natural positions.According to Whoscored and other sites, he is up front with RVP.
Sneijder is behind them with De Jong and Guzman.
Sneijder done an interview commenting on the system if you want to read the link

Yep. Also easy to slot in Kagawa, Januzaj, Welbeck, Hernandez and means we would have to focus transfers on central midfield and defenders which are the priorities for me.Ok, cheers. Like you said, it could work with our current players, and would allow us to give plenty of time to all of our players in their natural positions.
Something like:
De GeaAt times, if we need more natural width, we could start with Januzaj over one of Rooney or Van Persie.
Jones - Smalling - Evans
Rafael - Strootman - Carrick - Shaw
Mata
Van Persie - Rooney
Yeah pretty much. The most likely formation will be a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 which is pretty much the same thing with the way Van Gaal sets out. No way will our main formation be 3-5-2 especially when the 3 center backs we have aren't very good and are all injury prone.He implemented the 3-5-2 out of necessity because he didn't have Strootman to play his 4-3-3 formation.
He could play any formation. He experimented with diamond at Bayern early and has played 4-4-2 with AZ.Yeah pretty much.

Van Persie on his substitution: "Don't worry. I have a little pain in my groin. I don't even call it an injury. Just a precaution."Looks like another niggle.
I think that injury-free season for RVP is a tough ask. We definitely need a proper cover.
Hopefully we'll hold onto Hernandez. Might be a tricky season if he has injury problems with just Rooney and Welbeck.Looks like another niggle.

That's what he usually says and then... I hope it's nothing too, i am planning on supporting dutch team a little. For the first time since 98 actually.Van Persie on his substitution: "Don't worry. I have a little pain in my groin. I don't even call it an injury. Just a precaution."
I am not sure. If we will play with one CF the guy is like 4-th choice, i think Chicharito needs to move on. He needs regular playing time.Hopefully we'll hold onto Hernandez. Might be a tricky season if he has injury problems with just Rooney and Welbeck.
I like this formation too, but it is best to have Smalling - Jones - Evans. Smalling plays CB/RB, Evans plays CB/LB and Jones plays CB/DM. You can play Carrick as CB/DM too and you end up with a Rodgers type of formation, but Carrick is stronger defensively than Gerrard. Your 2 CMs could be Strootman and Vidal, so you have 2 box to box CMs and not just 1.Ok, cheers.

Yeah, I read that too. Apperently him and Janmaat were swimming at the beach and they got hit. Some scratches and a headache, but they're supposed to be fine. Friday we play against Spain and I would be sick if RVP has a concussion or something, but he'll probably be alright. RVP has a tendency to be a bit unlucky though.Dutch press are reporting that RvP has been injured by kitesurfer on the beach I kid you not.
