This thread is hilarious.Our midfield has been woeful in creating chances so far.Falcao can't create goals for himself he or any of our strikers need some support!

Don't be coming in here spouting logic its the match thread you know....

Van Persie needs to be a bit more urgent, could've tried that pass to Mata a lot quicker, perhaps even first time.

Van Persie invisible as usual. We've had the possession, but with such a woefully out of form striker up front we're not going to score.

He's not the only one. What has mata done?!!

saivet · Dec 2, 2014

Also, I don't understand why Herrera is playing higher up the pitch than Mata.

pseudo_canadian · Dec 2, 2014

STOP PASSING IT BACK.

LARulz · Dec 2, 2014

Herrera not having a great game it has to be said

Wilson isn't even close to being ready as a first teamer. I don't see why he is even ahead of Januzaj.

Agreed but I don't think either look particularly ready if I'm honest.

Krusty · Dec 2, 2014

Herrera is annoying. Pass forward or sideways not back

jus · Dec 2, 2014

Is Herrera drunk? Making some weird decisions

RetroStu · Dec 2, 2014

Crowd getting restless already.

SqueakyWeasel · Dec 2, 2014

It's like they're afraid to shoot in case the possession stats go down!

Am I the only one that thinks we played well and are very unlucky not to be winning?

Like the old saying says, you create your own luck. So far, we created little after the first goal.

Shark · Dec 2, 2014

Valencia never has any idea what to do what the ball from an attacking perspective. Never.

Drifter · Dec 2, 2014

We'll get a second .

Good to see Mata's transformation into a Manchester United player is complete, ie pass the ball out wide whenever you're within 10 yards of the box and wait for a cross. He really needs to step it up this half. We need some inspiration, some creativity. It's all well and good playing this simple, short 5 yard passing game when we're 3-0 up and cruising but we need him to take some risks now and provide something. Looks a shadow of the player he was 18 months ago.
I'd be tempted to throw Januzaj on somewhere to try an inject some pace and urgency into what is so far a stale performance.

i know what you mean, its frustrating watching them constantly pass the ball out wide waiting for cross. they need to risk playing killer balls and generally try and play through the middle. Would of thought this would happen naturally when both mata and herrera are starting.

R3D-D3V1L · Dec 2, 2014

Herrera, Mata, RVP and Wilson are passengers atm

Dylan94 · Dec 2, 2014

Young has played well again so far, don't know what some people are talking about. When someone provides an assist for a teams only goal of the game so far, you can't say that their not playing well unless they've scored an own goal too or something.

tob · Dec 2, 2014

Herrera needs to take the ball forward a lot more! Even if he has lots of space he tends to seek the easy pass backwards.

LeftyBlaster · Dec 2, 2014

When the feck did we start playing these dummies for our free kicks?

sizzling sausages · Dec 2, 2014

Terrible free.

Trizy · Dec 2, 2014

Lets keep putting it into Begovic's hands, great tactic.

pseudo_canadian · Dec 2, 2014

Genuinely awful with the set pieces today.

Dylan94 · Dec 2, 2014

Mata unfortunately is having one of his invisible games tonight. It's like we're down to 10 men.

balD_RoOnEy · Dec 2, 2014

we aren't clicking... nothing is really happening

Shyftyy · Dec 2, 2014

Here we go! I hope (and expect) to see some more movement off the ball. Second half is our half!!!(and various other cliches)

bosnian_red · Dec 2, 2014

Would probably bring on januzaj for mata if he doesn't improve

Sarni · Dec 2, 2014

We have not been that bad, still reckon we are going to win this but we need to up the pace.

Joemo · Dec 2, 2014

Can't understand why Herrera is playing ahead of Mata.

Dies Iray · Dec 2, 2014

Nothing says it's the oppositions throw like the entire team getting back into position only to have to come up the field because the ref got it wrong.

TelfordLad · Dec 2, 2014

Stream anyone please? Cheers

OneUnited24 · Dec 2, 2014

We really need Falcao to come on for RvP or Wilson, neither have got into this game

pseudo_canadian · Dec 2, 2014

I loathe Ashley Young.

JinnerJamie · Dec 2, 2014

Terrible cross from Young

Trizy · Dec 2, 2014

Lets face it, we always knew he was gonna make a shite cross.

Taxx · Dec 2, 2014

Very Bebe-ish cross there, Young.

Dylan94 · Dec 2, 2014

Wilson needs to bulk up a bit and also go off now. It's time for Falcao.

Im red2 · Dec 2, 2014

OMG Youngs cross like a weather baloon. Come on guys.

Amethyst · Dec 2, 2014

Some our 'service' to our forwards has been so poor at times this season.

Golo · Dec 2, 2014

Bring Falcao on, Wilson's not ready.

devilish · Dec 2, 2014

Fellaini elbow strikes again
