No, I just rechecked, he played that game.
I agree with you mate. No idea who makes the rules.60% possesion!! We won the philosophyVidic scored today.Granted Southampton is a difficult fixture but i was expecting United to grab at least a point here.
Attack seems devoid of ideas. Hard to diagnose why that is even with such quality upfront....Form based on luck always runs out. Van Gaals team selection and team tactics have been nothing short of disappointing.
I know it's harsh. It's my opinion though. I am not blaming him for the defeat. It shouldn't come down to him making a top class clearance to save a point.My 5 year old just said LVG was a loon as you don't bring on Fellaini for Di Maria...and he isn't even a ***********.3-5-2?
LVG needs to wake up... Needs to stop this crap and play 4-3-3 or with wingers 4-4-2.. Just a awful performance.. And similar to the xmas period..I can understand the logic of sticking Fellaini on, however to replace him with the one player who could actually provide him some decent service is madness surely?
That only happened after we were behind. We should have been putting them under pressure well before then.Well no use dwelling on it. Onwards to the next game. No use blaming LVG - those players have got to step it up. They're better than that ffs.Not enough chances created, the fact their keeper had no shots to save and at home is just poor!!That was so dire. The last 15 minutes just consisted of us lumping balls to Fellani, what kind of football is that? Why play Di Maria up front and Rooney in midfield? Why are we playing 352 when everyone is fit and clearly we have been struggling when we play that formation. Absolutely bizarre.Reminded so much of last year..Praise to Southampton for an awesome defensive display but, our players really need to have a look at themselves no urgency at all. Truly awful!
So then what you're saying is is that your previous statement and as a lie?Gutted we didn't have any answer to their well organised defence and midfield.
And Gary Neville is a fecking tit.Southampton played brilliantly but they deserved a draw, not a winFair play to Southampton, they made it really hard for us to create anything and have been quick on the counter. They should've already beaten us at St Mary's, so I guess the two games even out, as I thought we were the better team today, despite no shots hitting the target
So disappointing! Koeman > LvG
Yep. Even if we miss the 4th place by 1 point, Woody will show no mercy.People may as well give up complaining about the 3-5-2, the fact is it's hear to stay and we may as well get used to these type of performances sadly.3-5-2
Philosophy
Our luck has well and truly run out.
That's the thing. We have not being playing well at all. We have been lucky in the majority of our wins. I think we've had two good performances. Three at most. Even the Liverpool match could and should have had a far different score line.
Well, if this were Moyes in charge... Louie's status in the game may just keep the 'Louie Out' brigade on hold.Shit result. Some players need to look at themselves as there were some very poor performances.
Karma for the away game I suppose.Performance no where near as bad as people make out. That's the best Southampton side I've seen for years if not ever. Our passing was decent too. Subs didn't work at all and lost us the game. Sanchez showing Di Maria how you win football games, he was my biggest disappointment. We are still short of a truly world class midfielder. Mata was unlucky but should have scored at least on of those chances...Rooney needs to be up top
I don't think the players will give up. They fancy playing CL football, and I don't think they're going to be bothered with my indifference.LVG must ditch this 3-5-2 thing. Very dull formation no creativity at all with all these names. This is no our style of play.Philosophy isnt working,LVG doing strange things.
Di Maria upfront and Rooney in midfield? Shocking decision.
No Falcao in the squad was a brainfart of a call.
His subs today was laughable.
And 352 or 532,forget that shit,it will never work.6 points out of 15!!! Not good enough
Win the league - LVG let himself down
Need to scrap this god awful formation 3-5-2
Southampton beat us and kept us from scoring with ease with 4-3-3 so why can't and why aren't we using the same formation having the players to do so.
LVG is only letting himself down by being so stubborn playing this awful formation that does not give us any rhythm what so ever.Last edited:Plays 3-5-2 because he says he doesn't have the players for other systems.
We certainly don't have the players to play 3-5-2 so what do we do now?Mata should have scored. Twice.
His status in the game was build on playing fluid, attacking football in a 4-3-3 formation not this fecking tumescent 3-5-2 shite.Rooney should be playing in his position, Di Maria also. Falcao should have been on the bench at least. Too many mistakes by the managerCarrick was human today and rooney was not at his best so that hurt us. But our play is still so slow and yes we missed young today.LvG got the tactics and formation completely wrong, bemused, we're way too defensiveI like to consider myself a very patient man and have been defending the shit on a stick football that's been served up for the past few months but this is it. LVG is a stubborn old fool and you can see why he has been run out of clubs and I hope for our sake we wield the axe sooner rather than later before it all unravels in front of us. My main concerns are,
- the fecking 3-5-2, it confuses our defenders, ensures that our worst footballers are our main outlets, we entrust the building up of play in the hands of Jones and Smalling.
- Rooney in midfield
- favouritism towards his boy wonder that has ensured that Rooney, Falcao etc do not get a fair look in.
- the subs are all fecked up.
Need I say more? If he can't get a handle on this we need to get him out fast before we write off another season.Wretched, diabolical management today.
Wayne must be a real leader and have a walk in the woods with Louis.
Won!
That's what I said when I saw the opening minutes of play but got shouted down for defending Rooney at HT!- Status
