Wilshere is getting really frustrated mouthing off at everyone. We need Fellaini to get in there with niggles and send him over the edge

God love him, he's a category one prisoner waiting to happen.

Im with RVP for Herrera brigade. But when has LVG ever taken RVP off? He'd sooner pull of Rooney AND ADM than RVP.
Its time for him to show us how big his bollocks are with a RVP sub in this match.

He's taken RvP off a couple of times now, let's not over exaggerate. He's obviously doing something that LvG likes though, I don't know what, but he's justifying it to himself.

You wait ages for a game, then 5 mins into it you want it to end asap.

Yeah, agree with that.

3-4-3, 3-5-2, 4-3-3, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2...... Not sure it really matters anymore. So many injuries, no cohesion. Just putting 11 men out and hoping for the best.

blitz133w · Nov 22, 2014

Just take off all strikers and bring whatever midfielders we have into the game. We need to see some of the ball in order to make life easy for our defenders and create atleast some chances. Whatever is going on isn't working

Ritish Talwar · Nov 22, 2014

Bring Herrera on and show some fight for Gods sake

holyland red · Nov 22, 2014

Any updates on second-half philosophy?

Lawman · Nov 22, 2014

I'd keep RVP on but move to a 433. We are looking shaky any ball down the side of our centre halfs plus Young and Valencia are not great positionally.

BringNaniBack · Nov 22, 2014

We really need someone to come on and settle down the midfield and help us keep hold of the ball, that man is Herrera. If we don't do that we are going to be dominated all game and we will be very very lucky not to concede under constant pressure.

That's because we loved him and he won us lots of pots, obviously.

And Arsenal fans obviously hated RvP, with him being their best player and captain and all.

So you're saying that it's a case of van Persie deserving to be booed, Ronaldo not deserving it and Welbeck not deserving it, and not a case of Arsenal fans being classless shits who can't show any appreciation for any player who's left their precious little tippy tappy club? Gotcha!

R'hllor · Nov 22, 2014

Some people here,nothing can stop them to slag our manager and team,not even situation in the squad...

saivet · Nov 22, 2014

No change...

I really can't tell what our much talked about philosophy is.

The thing is , you seldom or rarely ever hear mourinho or pellegrini or guardiola or even klopp keep harping about philosophy.

strange.

Its non existent today, but normally its a possession style and dominating proceedings....

The gooners in fb are going crazy that they did not finished us off in the first half..

We're lucky they haven't scored 3 goals, they're lucky they still have 11 men on the pitch. Don't think either side have played well, but United have been about 5 levels below average.

hbgreg · Nov 22, 2014

Sad to say, twice in 15 by the end of today.

3 at the back just doesn't do it for me, and makes us look even more defensively vulnerable, in my opinion. I'd go to a 4141. We need two banks of four, because we're way too exposed in wide areas.

De Gea
Valencia - McNair - Smalling - Blackett
Carrick
Di Maria - Fellaini - Rooney - Young
Van Persie

That would be the most logical. If we want to play on the counter maybe this would work too:

De Gea
Valencia - McNair - Smalling - Blackett
Carrick
Fellaini - Rooney
Di Maria Young
Van Persie

pseudo_canadian · Nov 22, 2014

LVG has too much of an ego to change things during the game. Frustrating. It's obviously not working.

Shane88 · Nov 22, 2014

Only took them 35 seconds to shit themselves this half.

It's a moving feast. It's whatever explains our shitness best.

James_42 · Nov 22, 2014

Not sure what RVP is bringing to the team at the moment, I know Rooney's hasn't done much either but at least he is putting in a shift off the ball.

Whenever RVP gets on the ball the attacks fall apart.

Jazz · Nov 22, 2014

45 mins more of agony...

daniel9988 · Nov 22, 2014

Pass the ball around the back four, get into trouble and hoof it up. Rinse and Repeat.

montpelier · Nov 22, 2014

Is RVP coming out this half?

minoo-utd · Nov 22, 2014

Never easier to lose a ball really.

Anustart89 · Nov 22, 2014

McNair's done a great job on pressuring Alexis into having to move away from the goal when receiving the ball.

feck's sake Blackett why do you play those lobbed passes to de Gea all the time?

Revan · Nov 22, 2014

Good God! Blackett is really terrible.

Lawman · Nov 22, 2014

Get the feeling after Young's theatrics over the years he'd have to get axed to get any sort of foul!

Shane88 · Nov 22, 2014

Yeah, a bouncing ball back to the keeper. That's the stuff.

Mali_Zeus · Nov 22, 2014

Maybe LVGs philosophy is not to have all those injuries..

pacifictheme · Nov 22, 2014

Blackett is a very very poor player.

Gagsy · Nov 22, 2014

Is Blackett drunk?

hbgreg · Nov 22, 2014

LvG told Dr De Gea to stop booting it and to play it out of the back and this is what he gets.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Nov 22, 2014

Jesus, that passback from Blackett. It looked like a shot on target.

thepolice123 · Nov 22, 2014

Does Blackett know how to backpass.. :lol:

Hed Zitin · Nov 22, 2014

Blackett is brain dead.
