Burnley 0:0 Manchester United

And to think some don't want Blind. Him over Fletcher in this midfield would instantly improve the team.

REJE · Aug 30, 2014

So frustrating.. LVG's long ball comments are better directed at us.

Antonio 'backpass' Valencia

We are so rigid, what happened to the fluidity we all expected? We need to switch formation for the next half and take Fletcher off.

Hope LVG sees this.

Van Gaal known for fluid, attacking football? This 3-5-2 is a shambles.

The 352 is fine if players play it quick and on the floor. This lumping in the air shit is the problem.

Long ball rubbish

BURNLEY'S MIDFIELD IS OUTCLASSING OURS! BURNLEY!

That is about right coz we r mid table team

Ham · Aug 30, 2014

This game is such a perfect example of why we are signing Blind. He's not world class but he's a big upgrade over what we have.

Scarecrow · Aug 30, 2014

Don't worry, we've got Ando on the bench.

amolbhatia50k · Aug 30, 2014

Our transition from the ball being at the feet if the defenders to getting it into the oppositions half is the main problem.

Had that not been an issue we'd be 2 up already.

Cleverley is better than Fletcher.

Someone always has to take it too far.

United22 · Aug 30, 2014

We can't switch to 4 at the back when we have no LB and RB....

What?! He's very, very comfortable on the ball.

He's comfortable but he hoofs it almost every time

It's not the formation, it's basic footballing ability.

Agreed. Too many players are hiding out there.

Jonboy · Aug 30, 2014

Hoof after hoof.

The result of having no midfield.

Big Sam would be proud of this shit.

Bojan11 · Aug 30, 2014

And people saying Blind isn't an improvement. He'd improve us 10 times.

mancan92 · Aug 30, 2014

Why so many long balls it doesnt make sense

saturday_fever · Aug 30, 2014

We might have played more long balls than Burnley.

OnlyTwoDaSilvas · Aug 30, 2014

Burnley should really invest in some ball boys. Every stoppage feels like an age. It's not even an investment. Kids will do it for a burger and a can of pop.

The Red Thinker · Aug 30, 2014

I think it's blatantly obvious that the defenders are too scared to pass frmo the back, so they hoof it.

Fletcher is not good enough in tight spaces so they don't pass to him.

This is the problem.

Juansar_07 · Aug 30, 2014

Most disturbing thing is we are still clueless in our final third.No decent chances created and its fecking Burnley.These are the games we need to accumulate all the points.probably,the easiest start to the season we might have got.
Swansea,Sun,Burnley,QPR,Leicester,WestHam.Get at least 13 pts out of these games for God sake.

Joemo · Aug 30, 2014

Awful football

How has Di Maria been playing so far?

He's been our best player by far

Deleted member 78215 · Aug 30, 2014

So, we're playing Burnley, a team full of big, British bastards, who eat long balls and headers for breakfast, yet we're playing exactly to these strengths. Unbelievable.

There is literally no desire in these players. We're being beaten for every ball in the air, our big name players are content with playing the ball out wide to our wide players who they know aren't very good. It's almost as if they want to get as many managers sacked as possible to force Fergie to come back...

They've lost their self-belief

Reddywhenyouare · Aug 30, 2014

We have officially become....

Liverpool anno 2010

Hoof, hoof, hoof..

Red devil20 · Aug 30, 2014

This is painful Jesus Christ We cant build up possession

iAm20Legend · Aug 30, 2014

Young is so pointless, just amble up a bit and pass it back ?

Ralph1386 · Aug 30, 2014

Why doesnt Fletcher come collect the ball from his defenders instead of leaving them wandering around??

Godfather · Aug 30, 2014

Those long balls are a joke.

nokoya · Aug 30, 2014

Van Gaal, long ball does not work !!!

Ronaldo's ego · Aug 30, 2014

This united team is full of empty ballbags

Still think Ando couldnt make an impact here getting the ball off the defenders?

Ofc he could not

While the football has been bad again for the most part (other than Di Maria) we have to remember how many players we're missing.

But its against burnley.

pseudo_canadian · Aug 30, 2014

Penalty?

R3D-D3V1L · Aug 30, 2014

Lets be honest, If you were a top class player who wanted to win trophies, wasn't a mediocre and not a united fan, you wouldn't think about moving to UTD in this moment of time.

LARulz · Aug 30, 2014

Why did Fletcher just stand in the middle when our defence had the ball? In fact, why did everyone just stand still?

Ridiculous

pauldyson1uk · Aug 30, 2014

FFS forget what I said about looking good going forward, we dont !

Ludens the Red · Aug 30, 2014

Can someone explain what it is Ashley Young and Antonio Valencia do?
