if ever there was a game for Fellaini this is the type.
West Ham are just lumping it up.Di Maria and januzaj pretty much non-existent.
Same old story for the last few years. Can't keep possession at the back/midfield = long ball = lose ball = repeat. Falcao and rvp get no service at all yet are expected to just produce from nothing.
We create so few chances it's embarrassing. By far the worst football to watch out of the top 6.
Infuriating when you think of the footballers we have in our squadDe Gea is his usual reliable self. Rojo, Shaw and Valencia are doing okay.
The rest of the team is seriously poor.
He is like a reverse Valencia - he just cannot use his weak foot
Yet they continue to make mistake after mistakeIf we are going to play two up front we should have some genuine width.
But frankly one of Herrera, Fellaini or mata needs to come on for rvp.No control in midfield, LVG must see how badly Rooney is struggling in that area???Need to get Fellani on and push Di Maria and Januj out wide
Van Perise and Falcao have been piss poor----Blind
Herrera----AdM
------------Januzaj
----Rooney---
--------RvP
Do it.That was garbage. Rojo and Shaw are the only 2 outfield players playing well. Blind is virtually having to play midfield on his own.
Having said that West Ham only look like scoring from a set piece. Better than us who don't look like scoring at all mind.Shit on a stickI honestly think that LVG philopshy is to bore the opponents to death in the first half of matches.
Another boring performance
Maybe Nani is even better.. Di Maria is only able to use his left foot while Nani is perfeclty two footed. I also think Nani his corners are better...Pure shit again... As expected.
So why not take off Falcao and RvP and move Rooney up front?Crappy half from us, the RvP/Falcao partnership is slow as feck and has no power or variety in it. the only two players to have a decent half were Shaw and Valencia who did well defensively.Van Gaal complains about the imbalance in the side but he chooses himself to play Rooney in midfield when he should have the balls to drop one of falcao/RVP and move Rooney up front with an actual midfielder playing in midfield. So frustrating Herrera is stuck on the bench.
De Gea is amazing again. We'd be fecked without him.We were so much more fun last season although it wasn't for the right reasons. This season we're very monotonous. THE PHILOSOPHY SUCKS!!!Can't get any worse can it
Brilliant tactics from LVG, lull them in to a false sense of security.. Limp in to a HT 0-0 with West Ham thinking they are on top.......They relax and have a nice cup of tea at HT while LVG makes three changes and gives the lads some Red Bull.Hahaha at Valencia hitting the first man on that cross.
i would of cried sweet tears of joy had that cross come in.
Sadly we all knew exactly how it would end.
took 3 weeks to whip it in hahaWest ham have been very good in fairness. We have defended well, all four of them and DDG are the only players performing decent.
The rest have been just not good enoughAbsolutely zero threat. Simply not good enough.
Because LvG wants him in the box to score.Januzaj and Falcao doing a Mata and Herrera impression in that you wouldn't know they were on the pitch. Unfortunately in Januzaj, Mata, Falcao and Herrera we have 4 players with big reputations that are simply not good enough.
RVP not getting any sort of service. We'll need a miracle to get 3 points in this gameone of van persie or falcao need to be benched. we have to play with valencia as RM and rafael as RB. we have no width.So fecking sick of LVG fielding these unbalanced teams. We have 3 strikers and 3 wingers on the pitch right now. How does he expect us to look natural out there?
He should have realized by now that no away match is easy in the premiership. You need to win the midfield battle in these situations and we are not doing that by fielding Rooney and Blind. Having two strikers upfront and then Januzaj and ADM in midfield just makes us so easy to be overrun in midfield.
Take off Falcao and throw on Herrera. Have Rooney play behind RVP and I swear we would have a much easier time of things. I just cant see how LVG doesn't realize its his team selections that cause the imbalance.Midfield just not working today.
I would be tempted to take Adnan off and bring on someone to help Blind. We are just get by-passed in midfield and are losing every second ball.
Nope. That lineup was asking for trouble.RvP off, Rooney up front and Herrera in the middle would make the world of difference.
Will probably wait for 20 mins then take Falcao off for Wilson or something.RVP or Januzaj off and Fellaini in. We really need him on set pieces.
There's a stick?
Thats what I was thinking.
Although, after the (5-3) Leicester game, I am always expecting Clattenburg to do everything in his powers to ensure we lose the game.Phil Jones is blowing out of his arse.
@ Rojo.
Sorry, but that's the best booking we'll pick up all season. Took out two players on a break!
As for the performance, meh. Need a midfielder on. None of RvP, Falcao or Rooney have done anything. The solution is simple. Take one off for a midfielder and play the remaining two up top.
Preferably Herrera but will more likely be Fellaini.We're so shit to watch these days.Looks like last few years when we basically had Carrick in midfield and no one else. Blind playing Carrick's part and Rooney filling in for the rest of the MIA midfield.First player I would take off is Di Maria, bring on Mata.
I wouldn't be suprised to see him accuse West Ham of negative long ball in the post match.
The mans a walking contradictionWe're not very good.- Status
