Ugh, we've created nothing at all. With this team. Against a League 1 team! Not much more to say.

Expecting a much stronger second half.Paddy Crerand saying we aren't stretching the play, but we have no wingers as such. Memphis is on the bench and he has not picked Young. Lingard could do a job there as well.They are ripping a new one to LVG and Fellaini on Be In Sports Doha. My limited Arab tells me they are spot on
.
Seriously though, what a boring crap team we have become.Do they even have to bring the on target statistics up these days
Not Macca pleaseSchweinsteiger and Mata, what do they do? Completely average and pointless.Chelsea and Swansea matches were merely a slight sidestep on the slippery slope. This match is is the same dire dross we have watched all season, bar the odd meagerly better performance.
The fans deserve much better, than this van Gaal slow boring lack of imagination philosophy.
I genuinely do not think playing more youths would have been any worseLOL......US TV just said they shouldn't be called Manchester United anymore, its more like Manchester Fragmented.....then when on to say they should just sack LVG at HT.
Didn't Keegan quit England at HT?Wynalda just said they should fire LVG at half.
I hope so , but I am just expecting more of the same , with a nicked goal just before the end.Like we didn't even have our obligatory first 20 minutes of decent football. It's just been complete shit.Januzaj not on the bench?Well, Darmian has had his best half in a while....so there's that.Oh god, watching this on fox and these American guys are just painful to listen to. We've been pitiful, but saying Sheffield have been brilliant is ridiculous, they've just stuck all but 1 player in the box.Impressive how we've stifled the creative attacking forces of Sheffield Utd.Will he actually make changes and when? The when is the most important part.We'll win this...it will be a late goal after SU tire, it will give LVG more time...etc etc.It's horribly plain that nothing is going to be achieved with this manager and this set of players.We are trying to play through the flanks with no actual wingers, Darmian and CBJ ffs. Mata and Herrera have been shite and our play is generally too slow and tumescent... PHILOSOPHYAt least we'd be a solid league 1 team, maybe challenging for promotion.
I read somewhere, Matin Jol was told he was gone at half time but still managed till full time and was in tears towards the end.It's not fair on the fans the football we're playing. It's really not. United fans are used to and deserve exciting football.A proper pair of full backs, and Schweinillani in midfield!
We could get away with playing Young and Januzaj at full back today, and Herrera alongside Schweiny, and then adding Memphis up front.
And that;d probably see us double our efforts on goal to...erm 2.
I was watching Barca wipe the floor with Granada before this. It's like you're watching a different sport.
We have coped easily with Sheffield. It's more that we are not creating anything with the possession.
Even if we stretched the play. What do we expect our wingers to do? Place a cross on Rooney's bald head who is regularly the only player in the opposition's box?Not to overreact, as I'm still confident we'll find a way to win this particular match, but it's actually quite sad watching United these days. It used to be such fun and consistently entertaining. Now, it's anything but. My heart keeps telling me that they'll improve, but my head knows that there's really no basis to believe that. The games have become very predictably boring. They follow the same frustrating pattern, again and again and again. Both LVG and the players are to blame. I used to think LVG was building a foundation and that, while there would be growing pains along the way, it would be worth it in the long term. Now I'm starting to think that, in fact, the club is just plain mediocre.
I've never heard such caustic commentary on Fox Sports. They are absolutely ripping into the club and the manager.BT could save a lot of money by dumping the pundits for our games and just showing a rerun of a previous one.Just showing Andy Cole and company against the renties to rub in.Looking good for a replayMata is not a winger.
Schweinsteiger is different class and does exactly what a centre mid should do. If we had guys up top that could actually beat me or move at pace like Martial we'd look so much better. Yet we have Mata and Rooney who run like treacle!
Think lots of managers could get a better performance out of these players … it's 100% the manager for me!
