We really don't look comfortable on the ball when we finally make it into their half... and Rooney is seriously due a time-out from the team... Every match now he gets caught on the ball, repeatedly.

From reading this thread you'd swear it was a load of women breaking up with Rooney.We've lost our heads. Keep the bloody ball. Never thought I'd say that for a while.Glad we started our slowest possible team against Arsenal. Carrick, Schweinsteiger, and Mata won't be able to keep up defensively. Rooney will probably be a liability as he has been all season.
Yep. Sad to see so many writing us off in here based on a few minutes of the first half. Utd bound to have a spell or 2 in the game. Some have said they're turning the telly off. I lolled.Obviously a disastrous start but I'm very interested to see how the team respond to this. Will they capitulate or put up a fight? We're about to find out a lot about the teams character.Maybe this match would make van Gaal realise Rooney is past itBless me and my misguided optimism
Valencia has done nothing to show that wouldn't have happened. Seriously, get over it.Well done Young.2-3?I don't think we had two passes in a row within the team before they scored their second goal other than after the kickoff... TragicWhat is the point of Young?
Probably old womenCome on Young.Keep the fecking ball for at least 30 secondsWhat are we doing! We aren't even passing it. We're not pressing, we're not passing. We're just going through the motions.Need to get a lucky goal this half.
Fergie has gone remember.we are set up too defensive.
They scored twice without reply.Martial wont score a hatrick today
We look so tired and lethargic. This is what happens when you have such a small squad. We needed to play Schneiderlin. Carrick and Schweinsteiger just does not work. Too slow. Bayern found that with Schweiny and Alonso.Rooney and Carrick are the two worst players on the field.
At this point I'd even take Rooney off for Romero.We need to score wishing the next 5 minutes if we stand a chance
Is this the first time we've been 2-0 down? Lets see how an LVG reacts to that.Wish I was watching this on DVR. Could skip ahead.15 min
United trying to get a foothold back into this game but they still look in shock, not able to build any meaningful possession.
Arsenal are perfectly placed here to pick us off on the break. Could be a long afternoon for us.shitnessToo many hoofs.
Yeah, one goal can change the whole complexion of this game, Brews. And Arsenal are hardly Bayern Munich.We're praying for Arsenal to adapt to our snail pace.Can we just leave? Like, the result for forfeiting a match is 3-0 and some measily fine, right?
Rest the players for the next game.So then... I said the other day LVG has been lucky that we've yet to go two behind this season. Now that we are early on (and Arsenal look a threat every attack) in the game he needs to change things.
Why Schneiderlin the protector isn't playing is beyond me!Fellaini should be brought on for Rooney in HT if things continue to unfold this way, we have no control over midfield this game.Why the feck are all our defenders hoofing it when they get the ball.Ridiculous how porous we look without Shaw in our defence. I think they'd have scored less right now if he'd been there.
Do be fecking quiet
We also have two midfielders in our back four.We look knackered already- Status
