I predict this will go the way it usually goes against Arsenal.. They'll strut their stuff for the first 15-20 minutes, then we'll do 'em.

This was YOUR fault!!!!!

What the feck can van Gaal do here? Is he the one who told Valencia to pass it to welbeck on a back pass? Or di maria to shove the ref? All on Valencia and di maria

We pass back to the keeper to often,thats the problem.

unchanged_lineup · Mar 9, 2015

Wow. Rarely seen a manager throw away a match to such effect like tonight. Everything was actually working as well as it could given our recent form, we were in control. Absolutely thrown away with the Herrara substitution.

I don't know why he replaced Herrera and Shaw, maybe injuries ?
And for me Fellaini was useless all game long.

Season is basically over. Absolutely gutted.

Agreed. No chance we'll get top 4 with this sorry bunch.

Heinzesight · Mar 9, 2015

Welebeck...classless bastard with his celebration.

BringNaniBack · Mar 9, 2015

Complete joke. Shocking substations and Di Maria cost us the game. Bad mistake, but we cant blame it all on Valencia he was fighting a battle all on his own on the right hand side the whole game, he didn't get a moments rest.

Managers half time subs were the main issue IMO, I have no idea why he takes Herrera off.

Annoying. Valencia back pass the difference. We better fecking beat these cnuts in the league

Jones left him little choice … Jones was the difference and he wouldn't have been on if Evans hadn't gobbed at Ciise!

The Hacker · Mar 9, 2015

They've taken the piss out of our right hand side since their goal - and it's worked almost every time. If we had a proper defensively minded RB neither goals would have been scored.

We should have put rafa on or moved anyone else to the right back spot.

This loss us even more frustrating because we lost due to two stupid mistakes and everyone on tv is a united hater. All of em are loving it!

A pass back has done us over.

Great!

Well this sucked, but I'd rather lose tonight than in May.. We'll better be up for it then.

thought ddg was a bit slow and to come for it and want great at their first - went in at his near post. But generally more dfenders fault

shivab · Mar 9, 2015

We were good and gave arsenal more problems than they gave us. Last year in such a position we rolled over and died. I hope this performance is start of better things. Fellaini should not be playing. It should be januzaj young and di maria up top with carrick and blind in the middle.

Shearer is far worse than Wright. Shearer spouts pure shite just for the fun of it. He obviously hates United as well.

stubie · Mar 9, 2015

Have got no faith in this team or LVG philosophy. Whatever he is trying to install just is not working. 18 months of a negative effect around the club is starting to hit us long term now.

Tonjo · Mar 9, 2015

Horrible second half.
No attack and very poor defence. LVG is still trying his favoured 5-3-2 whenever possible.
Valencia is still not steady as a defensive player.
Chopping and changing the defence every game is going to get United nowhere.
If they are not doing well why did LVG not sign another defender or use the likes of Mcnair or Blackett more often.

Jazz · Mar 9, 2015

Shocking from Valencia. Thought he started ok but honestly what a brainfart. That's the problem with most of our players, they haven't got any common sense. And why did Di Maria do that? That's crazy. Player's individuals mistakes have cost us. Don't want to hear anything about substitutions or formations. This was done to the players. End of.

Rednotdead · Mar 9, 2015

We've seen our future under Van Gaal.

TheSamulator · Mar 9, 2015

Half time subs were shocking, had no momentum following that. Reduced the midfield to pensioner pace. Pure shite.

mitchmouse · Mar 9, 2015

I am still thinking tthat as much as I like Blind, I do worry if it is him who slows our play down

Making us play well and scoring goals would be a start.

RedOldBoy · Mar 9, 2015

we were the better team but still didn't create as much as we should have. Di Maria is fecking stupid.

Michael Oliver is a disgrace

Harry Kane and Daniel Sturridge injuries.
And Christian Eriksen' and Raheem Sterling'.
You could add Hugo Lloris and Jordan Henderson injuries too.

We played well in the first half. You can't account for a feck up like that especially against a team like Arsenal.

hbgreg · Mar 9, 2015

The manager sets us up well but then the players bottle it in these big games.

Vs Arsenal they couldn't complete a pass
Vs Chelsea they decided that Rafael should mark Drogba
Vs City Smalling decided to get sent off
Vs Southampton they thought it was great to give away a goal

And today they did most of it again.

carrick did well but the substitions did change us for the worse

We would have got Bradford/Reading. I want to cry.

We created feck all after them. What we did do is make the slowest midfield trio of all time though.

Tonjo · Mar 9, 2015

Oh shit, Arsenal is playing Bradford or Reading.
United just lost the chance and Wayne Rooney will feel devastated.
This is the best chance to win the cup.

Meh. We played decent. Standards have fallen so dramatically. His shite substitutions even changed that though. Played too well for his own liking it seems.

Pathetic. I suppose you boo back passes too.

Perfectly entitled to celebrate; he didn't want to leave and had a point to prove to united's management. Doesn't make him any less of a red.
