    Di Maria seems to be the only player who wants to actually try something... Everyone else just hands it off to the defenders
     
    Mata's gone to CM, from there to the bench....watch this space
     
    This will take far longer than 3 months to work. Some of the players simply aren't capable of playing on this formation/system.
     
    There's just no option for the 3 at the back but to go wide or long. If they go wide, the ball just comes back inside since Young and Valencia won't take a man on. If they go long, we lose the header since we're a small team up front.

    Fletcher needs to work a lot harder to make himself available to the back 3.
     
    I liked that from Juan Mata.

    Not showing for the ball and encouraging Blackett to come forward with it.
     
    Why is Fletcher constantly flapping with his arms. He should be getting involved with the build up. He annoys me so much.
     
    De Gea to Blackett, back to De Gea, out for a throw in

    We're never going to move up the pitch with phases of play like this
     
    thought van persie would rack up the goals with Van Gaal in charge.
     
    352 just isn't working, switch it up!
     
    Fletcher has absolutely no positional sense or awareness at all. He's like the anti-Scholes.

    He has had three years of not playing top level football.

    The decision to bring him back into the squad was the same as taking any other relatively fit bloke off the street who can kick a ball and putting him in the side.

    He should never of been brought back in, he shouldn't of even been considered to be brought back in.
     
    Things have to get worse here before they will get better. LVG is sticking with this system so as soon as you accept that you'll see things differently. We just all have to suffer the performances for these next few months.

    We can't be taking draws and losses to relegation fodder... Jesus imagine what would happen when we play the upper table sides. We are going to end up with almost no points if we continue like this for months
     
    Please, just change this awful system. It is just not working right now
