I wouldn't be surprised if LvG decided to bring in Mata for Evans next and drop Rooney to defence.LVG is madThis feels like the Fulham 2-2 game under Moyes last season, the one game where it all collapses and the fanbase completely turn on LVG.LVG makes it hard to keep the faithFellaini for Falcao/RVP and Rooney up top and Fellaini at CDM is our best bet atm.Falcao can't control a football and Van Persie doesn't do anything unless the ball is within 2 yards of him. And we're paying £500k p/w for that.It's evident that Januzaj really tries hard this game, but he has to stop giving away all those easy fouls.I'd boo at half time if I was there today. Our problems are of our manager's making and I'd want to let him know.
Nah, it'd be Di Maria as a striker of course.Rooney is the guy to start our attacks and get others into the game. Oh dear
Fellaini for Januzaj.Im sorry but is Rooney playing DM???
I have no words.
I wish, this game might be remotely enjoyable.
No, that is too obvious don't you know? LvG will have to show off and put Valdes as a false 9 and Van Persie in CM for his philosophyHow embarrassing … I was so looking forward to this too!
That'll teach me!
Every one of our players look uselesson the plus side crouch equalisedI mean . . . Rooney is an attacking midfielder at a push. You'll play him as an orthodox midfielder in an emergency. But a defensive midfielder? No. Just no. It's a complete waste of his best attributes if nothing else.
*Now watch him score*get rooney up front
That doesn't make sense. On the other hand having DDG upfront could match LVG philosophyWe're all over the place
We all want him further forward and the way it is going he will be sat in the stands behind DeGea's goal.
Everyone playing us does these days.So so much space in the middle for Burnley.This is awful I can't remember the last time we put a decent attack in.Rooney in the holding role.
Booing at half time is an Arsenal thing.
If anything it'd make Van Gaal more determined to be proven rightIf Burnley win the knives will be out for LVG to go. We are turning into a laughing stock of a side as large as we are.I'm not even watching the game but it sounds hilarious.How embarrassing … I was so looking forward to this too!
That'll teach me!
Can't even tell you how many times I've thought that in the last 18 months.
Well apparently Mata and Herrera were wasted on the benchWe are being outplayed by Burnley FFSOle-ing us in the first half that is bad we areWhat an absolute embarrassment of a performance. Every single one of the players can feck off as canVan Gaal the fraud.44 min
Kightly lofts the ball into the six yard box for Barnes and he tries to shoot on the turn but doesn't time it right and it's out for a goal kick.We're playing Barcelona, must be....wonder what Giggs is thinking.....Lightweights.Worst half yet under LVG?- Status
