Its starting to become painfully obvious that the type of football most people want us to play, won't be happening under Van Gaal.

CorrectIt's the intensity of these derbies that just makes you love them so much.
Young for Herrera. Young on left, Fellaini 10, Depay up top.Schweinsteiger and Herrera at the end of the first half typifying what's wrong with us: On the edge of the D, runners taking players away, neither tried to shoot, both opted for the shortest pass possible. Pathetic. We're trying to walk the ball into the net. Liverpool are playing poorly but they would feel hard done by not to leave Old Trafford with a point based on that first half.Surely we've got more going forwards than this?
Limited risk taking in the final third. Shooting opportunities turned to passes. We simply haven't made enough effort to win the game so far. Liverpool aren't much better either.I've decided that I don't get modern football at all.Shit match between two shit teams so far.What a fecking mess. Boring as feck, no penetration. I am worried about us finishing top 4 this season coz unlike Liverpool we don't have Coutinho. The only thing Memphis is passionate about seems to be complaining to the referee. Seems to take ages to bring ball in control, make decision and always looses while dribbling. Fecking boring fest.Four good fullbacks out there today. Impressed with Darmian (this is the first time I've seen him properly).
Other than that, zzzzzzzzzz.No use in dominating possession when you've so little movement in behind their defence. This is a poorly coached side in attack.Liverpool are really poor yet we have done nothing.
Don't care if LVG doesn't think he's ready for the occassion or not, Martial should be on if he's our only forward option. Fellaini up there on his own does nothing.For Martial's pace alone, he should be appearing at some point.Well that was a really boring half of football. Liverpool have looked very average, yet we seem to be happy just knocking the ball about and creating no actual chances. Nearly everything we do goes via the left wing in Shaw and Depay, which makes it easy for Liverpool to counter those two. We really need to bring on a wide player on the right, to keep Liverpool guessing at the very least.Start well then fade back to the usual crap. No surprise, though.Not a bad testimonial, this.
Seriously though, we're miles better than in recent times at everything bar the game-changing bit...which is quite important.Fellaini and Depay: Utter garbage.
Herrera: Trying to get involved but can't
Carrick and Schweinsteiger: Glacially slow.
Mata: Anonymous.
De Gea and the defence: Solid.
Shaw is the player in this team capable of thinking of and executing something quickly.I need to make the "where are the goals going to come from Mk. XVIIIIIIII thread"All fart. No poo.Just don't know why we didn't buy a striker. Lunacy.Biggest game in England.
Basically just what the Milan derby has become these days
Exactly. They are bent over and ready for a shafting but we're still fiddling about with the condom packetreally must question our decisions for replacing RvP and Falcao leaving which I knew we needed to do.
And now sending Wilson on loan.Fascinating half. Great stuff by United, played some great stuff. Shaw MOTM. The scousers will tire. We need a break early on in the second half and no feck ups/deflections etc.
Yeah thatMemphis has been complete garbage. People are comparing him to Nani but Nani was far better than this. Sub him for Young.
feck off you boring knob.This match is torture. "Derby" Lmfao....fecking rubbish. We must be the most consistently boring team in the league, especially now Chelsea can't defend any more.Shit match. Pointless passing in the final third to keep it safe. Take a bloody shot.Liverpool have been woeful and we failed to take advantage.
We've kept possession, but done nothing with it. Frustrating to watch.I think right now both clubs would be happy with sharing 3 points eachOur left back is our biggest threat, and has been all season.The pace of that counter attack
ffs United. ffs.
Seriously struggling to think of a poorer game. Just get Martial on for one of the geriatrics in midfield and see if he can make something out of nothing.Bring on HerreraLuke Shaw was the only positive that half.Absolutly dire game.
It's got all the pace of a legends game. Nobody willing to shoot or try something a bit risky, it's always a pass back or a failed attempt to hit Fellaini. No expression at all just formulaic crap.Painful stuff, I shouldn't be close to falling asleep while watching Utd/Liverpool.Only the manager who can change things now, a real word is pretty much needed.We play such boring football.
Our manager is insane?- Status
