Manchester United 1:2 Swansea City

Godfather · Aug 16, 2014

Fletcher has been so poor.

82pence · Aug 16, 2014

What the hell did he take Herrera off!

Señor · Aug 16, 2014

Fletcher has reverted back to being spineless. We need defenders and midfielders stat. Can't believe here we are in August and we need a opening day defeat at home to tell some people that.

Thugmann · Aug 16, 2014

Well, I hope this is a wake up call to LVG And Woody, this squad will just not cut it.

Wade3 · Aug 16, 2014

Where is our sense of urgency now?!?

Scrumpet · Aug 16, 2014

Can't make it past the halfway line at the moment.

#07 · Aug 16, 2014

It feels like Swansea are running through midfield at ease. Van Gaal must've seen something to sub Herrera, I can't pretend to know what that was.

United22 · Aug 16, 2014

Fletcher quit please, if you love United

Scarecrow · Aug 16, 2014

Fellaini is such a cnut. I don't care if he's a United player, I'd never like that guy.

Vida5Nick · Aug 16, 2014

The game is crying out for Kagawa and VG brings on Fellaini. Shouldn't be anywhere near our pitch, let alone the subs bench in my book.

Laughable.

Fellaini not using his elbows anymore. Just his chest.

And knees. A proper knee kick in the back. Way to go

heub · Aug 16, 2014

thank god there is still time to sign our targets.

feck god its still woody woody who is our man for those kind of jobs.

villain · Aug 16, 2014

A lot of our top 4 rivals are playing each other early on.

I'm not going to panic yet

ShamrockD · Aug 16, 2014

2 people were responsible for last years disaster, Moyes and Woodward.We kicked out only one of them,the other one is still here.

LVG is a great coach,not a magician.

Rooney in Paris · Aug 16, 2014

That was a nasty knee to the bottom of the back by Fellaini on Montero.

Getsme · Aug 16, 2014

Players look panicky now.

KettleNeckTroll · Aug 16, 2014

Irrational. · Aug 16, 2014

Since Herrera's gone off, there's been no cohesion whatsoever, our play is reminiscent of a Moyes XI.

Smeemi · Aug 16, 2014

Top 4? Lucky to get Bottom 4 :lol:

matt23 · Aug 16, 2014

Well Fellaini certainly changed the game

Moyes > LVG

These posts stopped being funny before they even began.

Mister_Stubbs · Aug 16, 2014

I'm not even surprised, unless we spend spend spend this week we aren't going to achieve anything this season.

Shyftyy · Aug 16, 2014

Well, let's just hope it's a typical Louis van Gaal start.

AZ started the 2008–09 season with two losses: 2–1 to NAC Breda and 0–3 to ADO Den Haag, but after that the Alkmaar-based club remained unbeaten until 18 April, topping the table ahead of FC Twente and Ajax for the entire season, despite being predicted to finish as low as 13th by pundits

Van Gaal got off to a poor start as Bayern coach, winning only one of his first four matches in charge, and by November the club was on the brink of a first-round Champions League exit following two losses to Bordeaux. With Bayer Leverkusen at the top of the Bundesliga, speculation was rampant that Van Gaal was on the brink of a departure from Bayern even earlier than his predecessor Jürgen Klinsmann. Van Gaal, however, kept insisting he is a prozesstrainer meaning that his team needs time to play the way he imagines.[28]

Van Gaal installed many youth players as fixtures in the starting 11, including Thomas Müller and Holger Badstuber, and also converted the winger Bastian Schweinsteiger into a defensive midfielder. A feud with Italian striker Luca Toni, who had played an important role in Bayern's 2007–08 league and cup double, led to Toni's move to Roma. However, Bayern Munich's form improved with two Champions League victories including an impressive 4–1 victory over Juventus in Turin, which allowed them to progress from their group in second position behind Bordeaux. By March, Bayern had moved to the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal and were top of the Bundesliga ahead of Leverkusen.

On 8 May 2010, FC Bayern were crowned Bundesliga champions following a 3–1 win at Hertha BSC,[29] making Van Gaal the first ever Dutch coach to win the Bundesliga

ChrisBW · Aug 16, 2014

With Fletcher being the vice-captain, I can't see us signing a CM :/

Reddevilboy · Aug 16, 2014

Opening game of the season, LVG's first league game and being at home and we have a great record against Swansea, I really thought this was a nailed on 3 points. There goes my £1000. What a bummer this is. Sigh.

How the feck did Moyes won against this lot last season.

They was still in Fergy mode

Romez · Aug 16, 2014

Van Gaal's own fault for going into the season with only 3 senior centre backs, specially when the original intention was to play 3 at the back.

Fletcher is done isn't he?

No, not at all, according to many on here he's back to his best and we're fine for midfield with him and Herrera (assuming of course, Herrera doesn't get taken off early all the time).

Redfan94 · Aug 16, 2014

Hopefully this is the kick up the arse we need to go out and spend some money strengthening our squad.

I'm hoping it was to see how our midfield will fare without Herrera (and assessing Fellaini)

I wish carras16 was back. I really do.

To be fair Kagawa is fecking shite too.

Fellaini bashing,and after naming him MOTM after the Valencia game.

Fletcher is fuking shit

How the feck do we dominate possession, yet whenever they get near our box it's a big chance? We look like headless chickens trying to defend.

Except for Blackett

Does van Gaal really need to evaluate any further? We need midfielders and defenders, we've known that for years.

Yes...

if anyone belives hes still assesing needs a reality check.

amolbhatia50k · Aug 16, 2014

Hopefully we sign a defender and central midfielder before the end of the window. We're sorely lacking in these two departments.

LJO · Aug 16, 2014

Since Herrera has come off we have seem to have given up on this attacking lark.
