The one thing you have to love about LvG is his willingness to play youth (no pun intended)

Does he really have a choice? Young, Valencia, Shaw, Darmian, Blind, Rojo. 5 of those are injured.

Just keep getting the ball to Martial.

That's exactly how we played when things turned to complete shit under Moyes, pass the ball to Januzaj and hope something happens!

Once again our midfield looks soft.

Our whole team + the staff looks soft, straight up to the C-levels.

Basti does get stuck in.

I haven't seen enough of Basti in a United shirt tbh. But we're certainly missing a Fellaini/Basti in midfield for this game.

Still think we should have the quality to go on to win this game though assuming LVG gets the subs right which is a big IF.

Despite his goals Lingard is just a very limited player and it feels like we're playing with ten men again. The odd goal aside he offers nothing to the team.

Overall we've been pretty poor yet again, but that has come as no surprise. Mata and Matrtial our best attacking outlets.

I think we've played quite well. Just missing a little bit of creativity to unlock defenses better and we'd probably have 3 or 4.

He could have used the transfer window...

Is there an echo in here?

"I have been really impressed with Wayne Rooney today, his work rate has been fantastic, his willingness to go beyond the final defenders is exactly what you want to see from your striker."

He gets laughed at in Scotland for his punditry to be fair

championo · Feb 13, 2016

We are much much better when we have Love on our side.

peridigm · Feb 13, 2016

Well there you go Darmian haters. Probably out for the season.

Rooney's reluctance to use his left foot is really annoying.

Didnt he nearly score with his left the other week? If its on he'll use it

Owen is a bitter little cnut really, isn't he?

That's his strategy having a relatively small squad.

LVG can't win with some of you. We complain that we what to retain United traditions yet when he creates the conditions to enable this, fans complain it's because we have no choice.

Rock and hard place.

You are not being fair. Creating the conditions shouldn't be on the back of a sketchy top 4 run-in and less win % than Moyes. Give chance to the youth if it doesn't hurt the overall results. You can do better.

Blind looks a bit like a demented poet with that beard.

Should have seen red there. Dirty. Down the back of his calf.

Something about people with Owen in their name.

You could say that about 75% of our "good performances" though. And some point you have to determine that we only look good in possession because we don't take any real risks to open teams up.

It's like an 89 minute trailer for a 1 minute movie.

Love is Blind.

That sentence is half of Man Utds defence.

Haven't liked Owen since he sat on our bench and didn't celebrate a goal, while the rest of the bench went crazy.

nice dive !

I posted it before, but it seems others beat me to it. We tried to get Debuchy on loan.

WyoManU · Feb 13, 2016

Rooney is a waste. Schneiderlin is looking worse and worse. Time to buy a whole new squad, again...ffs.

Wasnt just paper talk? Of all the players in the world we were in for Debuchy? Smacks of click bait to me.
