The bit thats the most frustrating at United at the moment is theres no semblance of play, the whole tactic seems to be built for someone to need to produce a moment of magic that creates something out of nothing - theres absolutely no flow in the team. I look back over this season and I cant think of a single game where Ive come out thinking "their keeper has played well", but I can think of a load where De Gea has saved us. Look at last night - aside from the goal what has their keeper had to do? I'm not asking for champagne football - the pundits and fans who think we played champagne football in the last 2 seasons of Fergies reign are drinking the kool aid. The year Fergie left was a title winning team driven by Fergies determination to go out on a high and the form of RVP. We didnt play good football at that time. It was also in this last year that Fergie let Pogba leave on a free at the start of the season and signs Wilfred Zaha for 15 million at the end of the season. Then youve got the Moyes and Woodward fiasco which set us back not only several paces but shot us back to 7th in the league. You then have 3 of our regular back 4 leave because they dont feel they can play under Moyes (personally I would have kept Vidic and Evra if only for dressing room reasons tho I can understand Evra leaving as Shaws arrival was imminent). I heard some bollocks about Moyes not being backed - he spent 27 million on Fellaini (could have got him for 4 million less and had another month of training with him if he moved quicker) and then 37ish on Mata who was totally on the out at Chelsea. Then he played both of them in the wrong positions / tactics for them. He also clearly set up the deal for Shaw (another 30 million) and I was told the Herrera deal was put in place by Moyes too (30mill again!). LVG comes in and the clubs a shambles to be honest but he seemed to be the right guy for the job (I say seemed, Im still fully behind him for another season). But then you have the only defensive signing being Shaw? I think Rojo is a decent buy, and I think Blind was a good for the money he paid for him (compared to the money we've paid for other people), tho I'm not sure you should ever play him and Carrick together in midfield. Herrera signing I dont think was his and I think thats why he has a lack of faith in him - I can see why he brings Herrera off and doesnt play him at times, he can be careless on the ball and his movement isnt always what I'd expect. I think Herrera will end up being class tho. Di Maria was a massive risk. Early on he looked fantastic. Then all of a sudden his tricks stopped working, then his house gets broken into and he uproots his family to live in a hotel and he goes so awful that he gets hoked off after one of of the worst performances Ive ever seen against Sunderland. Match of the Day didnt do it justice, he couldnt even pull off a simple pass. Last night he was at it again - tho his cross for the goal showed his class. His heads gone and he's needed dropping for a few games for a while, the red card is probably a good thing for him. What I dont understand with him is where he needs to play. He had his best spell at Madrid in centre mid, I thought he was more a left winger when he signed but he's been played on the right. Someone said to me recently that they think that this season got scrapped midway through by LVG, and he stopped trying to implement his tactics on the team and instead started playing knockout football as if it was a tournament, built just to get a result and get us back to the champions league so he can spend a full summer working on the team. I just worry what happens in the summer. We clearly need at least one centre back, and a right back. Falcao isnt going to stay, and as much as I'd love him to be a success LVG has no faith in him (he warmed up for about 15 minutes last night and looked a broken man when Januzaj got called back to the bench to come on while they were both warming up). So thats now 1 CB, 1 RB, 1 ST and you can probably chuck another midfielder in as needed too, 2 if you want to go back to playing wingers.

Jose posted:Didn't van gaal play Di Maria as a striker for a while He's played him everywhere. Tbh some of the roles I can see why - Played him as a striker because there was a total lack of pace up front and lack of movement. It didnt work and so he then moved him back to midfield. When we've played Falcao and RVP up top together theres been nothing decent movement wise up top - I dont put total blame on them tho as theres also little aim to find them from the midfield as it seems like everyones more interested in keeping the ball and not being the person to lose it rather than going forward. At one point in the match against Newcastle I think we'd had 69% possession and 3 shots on target. Its shocking. Youve got the fans shouting shoot when someone gets the ball 30 yards out because they just want a bit of excitement rather than the ball being popped around for hours.

Andre Le Fuckface posted:LVG making a double sub at half time yesterday was stupid, unless they were for injuries. Left him with no chance to try and push and get an equaliser Shaw was definately an injury from what I could see, he pulled up at one point. Not sure on Herrera, I think it was tactical. I love Herrera but I didnt think he was having a great game yesterday. He seems to sometimes just make the wrong pass or go into the wrong position and he passes backwards instead of forwards a lot.

euroboy posted:Hoofing it up to Fellaini becomes easy to defend against when none of the United players (except Rooney and Young) have any interest in winning the second balls. I think Fellaini is a good plan B, its when its used as Plan A like last night that its stupid. You have this massive gap between midfield and striker so youve got Rooney trying to do the work of 2 men. euroboy posted:I can understand Di Maria's frustration and attempts to con the referee, no one else is playing at whatever it is he's trying to do. The second part of the first half was fairly positive though, hitting crosses in against Rooney and Fellaini was constantly dangerous but Monreal, Coquelin and Özil (who was excellent all match) put a stop to it in the second half. His cross was good and he made some good runs when the defence had the ball and got totally ignored. Was funny when Carrick came on and one of his first acts was a long cross field ball to Young who'd found space on the left, it was the kind of pass that you're crying out for when the defence are playing it back and forth. Di Marias been awful for weeks and I hoped after the cross maybe it would inspire something but I'd have subbed him off again last night. euroboy posted:I'm still amazed Welbeck didn't gently caress up that goal tbh. He messed one up in the first half. I think it was a mistake selling him as he would have provided a lot more movement up front and created space. I can see why he went tho - wanted a chance to play every week and LVG could never guarentee that when he was bringing in falcao

Giggs not only has gently caress all experience as an assistant manager, but you'd expect Van Gaal would have his own man lined up. Everyone has hosed off except Giggs and Nicky Butt? And neither of them talk to the press?

When Falcao got subbed after winning the penalty against Sunderland the whole crowd started booing, then gave him a round of applause as he went off. He'd done nothing all game till winning the penalty, but everyone really wants him to click and the fact that he was taken off just after doing something great was really annoying. He's utterly gone with confidence at the moment, I fully understand playing him in the reserves to try and help him get a bit back.

The last two results have made me really happy to be fair. It looks like Van Gaal is finally clicking with a formation and system. Early on we had the struggles with the 5 man at the back system, but I do really think he went with that more because of defensive frailty rather than a long term plan. Smalling has got more impressive every game for the last few, tho Phil Jones still looks prone to an error. Pre match there was an interview with Van Gaal where he said he doesnt do much of a pre match talk as his players have been drilled into how to play the week before and how he wants 11 leaders on the pitch. I think you see that a lot in Herrera, while he's still young and I can see why he's been dropped a few times as he is prone to a careless pass, he also has a good head on him and isnt afraid to shout at senior players when theyre out of position. The interesting thing for me is how the team would play without Fellaini as at present he's a real outlet. He's a right oval office at times but the ball seems to just stick to him when its in the air. I'd also like to see Rafael come in for Valencia.

Ninpo posted:I'm not too worried about Fellaini not being in the team for whatever reason, neither goal yesterday involved a long pass to him I don't think? He's playing well though and there's been more good about his game than pulling balls out of the air. It's weird how the team suddenly clicked, whether that was the loss to Arsenal that gave them focus, or just time, or something else but the contrast between the Arsenal match and before that, to the last two, is night and day. Hopefully it continues and I'm seriously happy for Mata. I think Blind has been pretty decent in that position and could be better when hes got a better understanding of the pace of the game. I dont think he's a long term left back - he's one of the slowest players in the team. Its not just the long passes with Fellaini tho, he attracts defenders and tho his first touch with his feet can be awful at times he's been pretty good at holding the ball up. Anyone else in the number 10 role demands more of the ball I actually think the Arsenal match we didnt play as bad as people said tbh. Di Maria needs an extended spell out and I hoped he would come in yesterday and feel less pressure but his passes were awful again. For me the key part is the fluidity of the team. You often see Carrick drop back into defence when we have the ball if theres space for one of the centre backs to move forward and create play, but yesterday Smalling made a run forward, Carrick was up there as well and I was making GBS threads myself we were going to be caught on a counter, but when the ball went forward Jones had pulled into the right centre back position, Blind into Jones position and Young back into left back. Mata also offered so much more defensively on the right than Di Maria ever does

I think his defensive awareness is brilliant, he's no full blooded Keane or Gattuso type, but he reads the game so well and often gets a little toe in on an opposition pass to knock it to safety rather than sliding in with a thunderous tackle
