He replaced Fletcher who had an even worse game than Cleverley. Darren has all my respect in the world but he simply cannot be a starter in the side anymore.
Totally disagree. The players around him, especially the two behind are too static and slow in their passing. We also need pace and width to utilise him properly.
40m on vidal or someone in that bracket, 30m on benatia and then hope injuries clear up.Surely we have to be looking at signing a top centre midfielder.We were lucky to get a draw. LVG has a big job on his hands. Thankfully I believe he can do it.lee cattermole,MOTMIf im a right or left back id be ecstatic to play utd. You know you won't get beat down the side anyway.Fuc.king drivel. Fine every last one of them a month's wages for that utter shite.I don't care about the assist. Valencia was as shocking as the Cleverley, Young and Fletcher. Can't defend and about 90% of his passes were backwards!!!Im new to this but need to vent!
Why does Valencia never get to the by line? every time he gets the ball he passes inside even with 35 seconds to go one on one with the defender he passes the ball.
That was the worse attacking display Ive seen United play since SAF left us.
How is Di Maria going to play in a 3-5-2?
We desperately need a right back, a left back, a central midfielder and a manager who plays 442 or 451 in my opinion.
Kagawa already played that position in the pre-season.
Yep and LVG should be given more but the realisation that some of these players are not good enough should have set in. Anybody turning up there nose at De Jong are living in cloud cuckoo land!Hoping to reach 40 points lolWe should give 10M to some club to take Cleverly off our hands..Also Young..and Fletch who is past his best..
But the main worry is Rooney. Same problems.. poor touch.. not picking up the right pass and very very slow.. I think if we do sign ADM,Rooney will make way..If not Van Gaal has the same problem as Moyes..
Daft thing is he will put the kids in and they will show more guts than some of this lot.
Well, I told you...
...based on the assumption that we'd see a good linkup of Mata and Kagawa, considering our injuries situation. I'm always wrong, feck.
Only god can help us tbhThe worst problem is the lack of urgency. No-one is making it happen, they are just waiting to win, and it doesn't work like that.
They are trickling the ball around to each other, passing it square with no conviction whatsoever. Do you see any of our rivals doing that? No! They fizz the ball at each other to get it moving.
That doesnt mean he's a CM.
We did last week. We couldn't this week Fellaini was injured. We won here last year.Seriously I don't think Rooney has performed any better than Cleverley in this match.Too much for a "world class" player and United captain.
Threw himself around as always, but positionally he is still not on point.I predicted a draw (2-2), just couldn't see a win with this squad.
How many crosses/corners went straight to Mannone? Shite. One of my pet hates is putting the ball right on top of the keeper. Almost never works.
We need (how many times is this going to be said) a central defender and a centre mid. Put Di Maria in that side and it would still be shit.we need a defensive midfielder, some one who can break up thier play.... teams just walk staright through us3-5-2 didn't suit Valencia. Many times he had the ball in a good position but with no RB's running off him he couldn't do much. If our wing backs are isolated, what's plan B?I thought overall Jones was our best player but Welbeck was good when he came on because he ran around a bit. Just by having a bit of pace and running he looked our best forward player.
Cleverly, Valencia and Young were horrible, Rooney was invisible as was RVP and Mata although he did well to find the space to score the goal.
Fletcher was depressingly awful. Was like seeing a punch drunk Boxer refuse to stay down for the count, he was brutal.
True.
You muppets were telling me you had a piss-easy set of opening fixtures and would be top of the league end of September. Now bottom 3 looks as likely as top 4.
What are you on about?Jones was alright.It was Hernandez's fault. Looked like we were playing with ten men out there.I'm starting to believe the muppets who want a complete squad overhaul are actully in the right here. Another appalling performance.everytime we were trying to launch an attack the opponent have 6-8 players on the box (the same against swansea), I couldnt understand why the wing or mata didnt try to pull out those players in the box.I hope Di Maria doesn't watch this game. Possibly it might change his mind.I called the 1-1 scoreline correctly...Bag of piss, some of those players need shipped out quickly..Hopefully a top experienced CB and MF are in the pipeline next weekIf LVG is teaching them to play like this, then I'm mother Teresa! Truth is, the players we currently have aren't good enough for his systems.
I backed Moyes right the way through last season stating that the players were the problem... I'm being proved right . I don't want to be, but I am! Sunderland were terrible today, we made them look good. If Sunderland had turned up. It could have been all over after half an hour. de Gea hasn't made a save all season
its not even a debate at this point. the squad is "fundamental broken" as someone phrased perfectly earlier. no balance and a retarded lack of quality.
lol
Valencia seems to have some African magic to blind our past managers and many fans. This guy is terrible. I said it last season, he is possibly the worst and most negative wide player in the league.Forget Vidal, at this point I'm tapping Joey Barton up on Twitter to get him to play for us. Anything is an improvement on Fletcherley.
Januzaj is not shit but kagawa would've been a better option- Status
