What did LVG say in his interview?

Blue always red · Nov 22, 2014

Hopefully with 2 up top we should fashion more chances for RVP instead of having him isolated all game and feeding off scraps.

Dude, he is suffering/recovering from injury.
When a player has been injured for a few weeks and started to do light training, you cannot immediately throw him on the pitch, in a competitive game.
You have to bring these players back gradually.
And the longer they have been out, the slow their introduction back to the 1st team will be.
For this reason, you wont see any of our absent defenders play a full 90 minutes for at least a few weeks.
The same goes for Herrara.
Falcao, if he ever plays 90 minutes for us, is probably a few months away from reaching 100% fitness, as his injury was serious (ie. career threatening).
And dont ask me about Blind - I dont think even he knows when he'll play a full game, again.

He does realise that in this league players quite often play when they are not 100% fit. If he doesn't, none of the injured players will be seen again this season.

Jazz · Nov 22, 2014

I'm really worried today. Other results have gone for us today so if we win we're at 4th. Really need to get this win. Can't stand the constant anxiety, whomever is out there on the pitch needs to get the job done today! And when are we going to see Ander play again?! (sigh)

Alex Styles · Nov 22, 2014

So, the return of the 3 -5 -2. Interesting!

...but souness just wrote us off because of the 3-5-2 system...

He wrote us off not because our players or manager or playing style - but because of our formation? Sounds odd.
Are you sure?

You just know he will bring on Fletcher or Young don't you?

We'll all be angry but they'll naturally score and then go on to play well and displace a new signing.

Spiersey · Nov 22, 2014

Is monreal or chambers going to play cb?

Di maria could get a lot of free runs through the arsenal team. Wilshere and arteta is a poor dm pairing still.

I'd be interested to know if anyone managed to guess 11/11 right in the starting XI today! I can't believe I got 10/11 right... Certainly didn't guess this formation.

I got 10/11 to, didn't think we would go back to 3-5-2 or 3-4-1-2 which ever way you look at it. Just hope it works out for us or this could be bad for us. I'm confident we will get something out of this...

LVG said philosophy twice in his pre-match interview. We're doomed.

Monreal has played the last couple with mertesacker

Gannicus · Nov 22, 2014

I'm more concerned about us winning the match than whether or not Danny scores.

Give Danny his track trick in exchange for a glorious 3-4 win.

Is that all.

Blue always red · Nov 22, 2014

Oh wow, I hadn't even realised we're still to win away from home

Galactic · Nov 22, 2014

Imagine if we lose this game.

I can already see the deadlines: crisis at United as LVG loses the dressing room over everchanging tactics

Special Announcement:
Due to the amount of injuries on both teams the managers will be allowed 4 subs for todays game.

For a moment I thought JazzG was back.

So his philosophy is to play a negative team?

His philosophy has been thrown out of the window today.

MarcRed96 · Nov 22, 2014

Win this and I reckon we'll get top four.

C'mon United!

Against Sunderland, Burnley, MK Dons, Leicester and West Brom too. It's an appalling record.

Philosophy is not the new 'try''

Sid234 · Nov 22, 2014

Blackett seemed his best playing as the left CB of a back 3 at the start of the season imo.

I don't think you'll make it as a headline writer mate.

ryan cook · Nov 22, 2014

Its quite funny when the reporter asks LVG about his team he picked and he literally names the squad. I've seen his do it before as well.

Zoo · Nov 22, 2014

I know most people want Herrera but Fellaini is a big threat from set pieces which Arsenal happen to be poor at.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Nov 22, 2014

Is every Spaniard in the world friends with every Spaniard in the world?

We will get top 4 if we win this. But if we lose we'll be in the bottom half.

Boycott · Nov 22, 2014

Mata's days are numbered

Dargonk · Nov 22, 2014

Big game today. I'm a bit nervous with that back line and I would expect us to concede a goal at least. Hopefully we can outscore them.

Dylan94 · Nov 22, 2014

Thank the lord De Gea has made it that's all I can say.

iAm20Legend · Nov 22, 2014

Welbz is nailed on to score isnt he

Kevzter · Nov 22, 2014

Please god not 3 at the back

...again

saivet · Nov 22, 2014

So Rooney is up front then?

Irrational. · Nov 22, 2014

As long as we don't concede a penalty or have a defender sent off/ injured, I will see this as progress.

Randall Flagg · Nov 22, 2014

Possibly 4 at the back with McNair at right back according to MT
