I would love Fergie to storm into the dressing room now and give the hair treatment of all hair treatments where all the team come out bald....

As bad as any Moyes performance. Truly awful Van Gaal needs to go.We've been unbelievably poor. Van Gaal sent us out there with no midfield to make space for two strikers who are woefully out of form. Worse, we lost our holding midfielder during the first half so Burnley are just running through us. Its awful. We've been out attacked at home against relegation fodder. Disgusting. Is this the great philosophy? The group of players we have should be absolutely hammering Burnley, and we're relying on set pieces to get goals against them. Pathetic. Other managers could get more out of this squad than Van Gaal is right now.
I totally agree with you, I look at Falcao jumping trying to win a long ball hoofed up outside the box and he never can and I get frustrated but then realise why ? Thats not the player he is, they are not the balls he scored from at Atletico, it's the imbalance of our squad and players out of position and thats down to the manager to change that but he won't and isn't
Rooney isn't a MF, Why play him there when you have two on the bench, why play two Strikers when neither of them can work as a partnership ?
It's poison to the eyes watching us right now, everyone around us is gaining form and we are dropping any tad of form we had.Other than goals, Smalling has been our best player. Falcao, McNair, Rojo, Januzaj and Rooney have all been catastrophic.
Didn't he play on the right in the first half against Chelsea?
At least he's doing what the strikers should be doing - SCORE! Would be well funny if he got a hat trick
LOL. Can't be any worse than the 2 strikers off form now.
A Smash & Grab ...... at HOME
Is that breaking news?I hope Burnley drop off because with one sub we can't change much.3 shots on goal - 2 from Smalling and 1 from McNair
With 3 forwards and 3 attacking midfielders on the pitchHard on the tinfoils but we ought to play better in the 2nd half.Some pretty shit football despite us being a goal up. Our forwards have been laughable today. Especially Falcao who cant even hold the ball up anymore.
We really do need to drop Falcao and either play Rooney upfront and/or get Di Maria/Valencia on the right wing. The team just looks so unbalanced still and its caused by us playing in a narrow formation with strikers in midfield.LVG, sort this out FFS. We can all see what needs to be done. How can he not see it the stubborn bastard!any rivers lads?
I'm not laughing!At least he's doing what the strikers should be doing - SCORE! Would be well funny if he got a hat trick
Well done!I have Smalling in a fantasy football I do so yes, I am very fecking entertained
I have Di Maria! ......
He just scored now! Gonna get me a new river at half-time.Nothing new here, absolutely boring but 2-1 up.
Based on them not performing.DDG - What can he do?
McNair - One good shot
Evans - I honestly believe he'd struggle to hold down a place in any PL team, totally useless
Smalling - Was goal x 2 !!! Not ideal to play with the worst CB in the PL, feel sorry for him
Rojo - Roughing up the oppo, tattoos
Blind - Our best man until injury, the new Carrick
Rooney - Looks bored with his passing, totally useless as a CM, no drive or spirit
Di Maria - One good cross, responsible for Burnely's goal, then a good assist
Januzaj - Losing the ball all the time
RvP - Useless
Falcao - Useless
...
Herrera - Savior
Jones - Glass, who will take corners?
We need to get Rooney the hell out of CM and let RvP and Falcs play the next month with our U21sThat was a horrendous first half from us and how we go in at half time leading I'll never know.I'm laughing at how bad of a performance that was and yet somehow we're leading with two goals by Chris Smalling.
I think that's one of the worst midfield performances I've seen from us in, well, god knows how long. So uncoordinated.
Completely agree. He talks about balance but then starts the game with 1 actual central midfielder.
Surely he's got to take Falcao off, he hasn't offered anything at all.Personally think we need to drop falcao and play mata. He just isn't getting into the game. He's not running in behind, he's struggling to hold the ball, just pathetic.
ADM got an assist for Smalling's secondWell done!
I have Di Maria! ......
At this point I would have to agree with this... Maybe he isn't still up to speed but his hold up play is so poor similar to chica but he was deadly in the box
Doesn't he always
Is this the same coach who had all those great attacking teams???Fitba, bloody hell.I don't know what this is, but I have my stream on while I watch the matchday thread
This game is so bi-polar, that I've literally not watched the game for 5 minutes consecutively.
It's chaos
Disbalance cause by LVG. Thanks Louis. Feck right off.Poor..only De Gea were good today (possibly Blind)
What happen to Januzaj?i thought he`s the hot prospect..but seeing him like this..i cant see he`s developing much..Stats; United on the left
There were none before? Interesting. And technically it would be a hat-trick from the benchThe Philosophy is actually just talking about the Philosophy
Smalling has looked lost defensively.
Absolute no doubt about that.
One has scored 10 goals or whatever this season. The other has scored 2 tap ins and missed a dozen sitters. One looks silky and calm in his hold up play and the other gets knocked over by a breeze.
Dude the only foul of any note is J.Evans on D.Blind.
You want LVG to ask the ref to book J.Evans?
The ref has done nothing wrong today and LVG shouting at the ref wouldnt make any difference.
Here's an idea, rather than shouting at the referree, we improve our own play?- Status
