    This is a Moyes-esque bottle job by LVG. He was succeeding and had to snatch failure before it was to late.
     
    How is Van Gaal justifying wages is a better question. Half of our players are playing out of position and we are using a boring extremely defensive formation.

    Van Gaal is doing a great job on minimizing chances to win.

    Spot on. Only DDG is playing great because he's pretty much the only one playing in his preferred position.
     
    He used it once, i think. Outside of the world cup preparation.
    And you have to take into account that Feyenoord play with a back 3, Vlaar, Kongolo, Martins Indi, De Vrij and Janmaat are used to it.
    He almost exclusively played in 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1
    Well, sports journalists have mislead me before, if that's the case then I apologize.
     
    Valencia is an absolute fraud. Disgrace of a footballer.
     
    feels like Southampton at home where the game could go on for three days and still can't see us scoring.
     
    We have no midfield. There's literally nobody there. No options. No movement. We go wide every time because there is literally no other move on. Its like last season all over again. Get to the byline and then try to find someone, only difference is we play it on the deck rather than in the air. 3-5-2 doesn't work with the players we have.
     
    As everyone can see, it doesn't matter what striker you play - our strikers are not the problem. We can't keep the ball, can't pass, can't create anything. Dire.
     
    We seem to be back to being less than the sum of our parts. No one is expecting the finished article - re-building takes time - but it is getting just a tad frustrating as it's hard to see what LVG's thinking is. I can't imagine what he is seeing in training that suggests this is the best formation. My river also keeps cutting away to yet another Chelsea goal, which aint helping.
     
    We looked like we were getting back on track, at least in terms of results, but the last month we've been rubbish.

    We're just so boring to watch.
     
    Im increasingly thinking ADM and Mata cant play in the same team. I totally get that ADM may be too sleight to play in a mifield pair, but he doesnt work at all up front. Play him in the number 10 position instead of Mata, or bench him. Stick Rooney up front and play Herrera in the middle. Its like being down to 10 at the moment and not helping Falcao at all.
     
    What makes it more confusing and frustrating is that we started the season playing 352 and looked shit, then we changed to 422 diamond and looked a lot better but now for some reason LVG keeps playing 352 again. He's up with Moyes with how bad it is.

    I think it's worse.
     
    So angry, LVG being stubborn as feck. Di maria unfit my arse, just being played in the wrong position.
     
    LvG was the one who said in this formation the wing backs are the specialist players but Blind can't beat his man, Valencia can't cross, forget about debating whether to sign Falcao or not because he won't even bother signing for us.
     
    Di Maria recieving the ball on the edge of the penalty area and getting outmuscled by defenders because he isn't a striker. fecking change it Van Gaal unless you want another winless game.
