I don't think LvG has given half of the players much of a chance playing such an unbalanced team.
We've seen the last few years how rubbish our entire team is when the midfield is overrun.

No we won't. We'll get worseThis is so nervy. Why do we have midfielders on the bench and Rooney running around without a clue? Sigh. Sure they'll be changes anyway. Would love a jammy win here but we do make things so hard for ourselves.So...
Did we become Everton - Moyes, who need Fellaini to scores?I don't think we were that bad. But again, no fecking cutting edge.Take one of Falcao or RVP off and put someone else in midfield.
Last season we at least managed to hit the byeline
That was such a crap half of football.
We look terrible with both Van Persie and Falcao and with the way we are playing Fellaini up top wouldn't be such a bad idea or sticking him in midfield with Rooney moving up front.please please please please please take off janujaz and falcao and bring on fellaini and herrera!!!Credit to West Ham, they have worked hard and pressed United very well. United sitting off them gives them enough time to play out, maybe we need to counter press. The players also have to trust their ability to play the ball on the ground, too many aimless long balls. We should see a better performance in the second half.I am probably the only one, but I have enjoyed this half. People that think that we're going to west ham and dominate them are having a laugh, it's a physical battle and we seem up to it. I also thought we grew in the game.Yeah i cant believe the commentator - called it a foul BY Rojo. I thought he should have had his free kick given for him. Sakho just clattered him.
He also actively encouraged players diving to get a call a few minutes prior to that.
What a cnut.West Ham are playing well and are causing us a lot of problems with their physicality and their passes down the wide areas which forces us to kick long.
On the other hand we are not playing like a team and there is a lack of balance too. I think we need an extra body in the midfield to stem the tide get us on the ball more often because we are just going to get overrun otherwise.
Ive been saying this for a while now.
If we paid a lower fee, we could afford to allow him to play himself into form. But when you buy a marquee player, you expect immediate impact.No different to all our other away games, being outplayed, de gea is our best player and playing with two strikers makes us look like we are playing with ten men. Will end in a draw or a defeat, how LVg continues to think he can play RVP and falcao together away from home is beyond me, it hasn't worked all season and don't think we have won an away game when they start together.Pretty even first half tbf. Both had spells in the ascendency.
They're doing well on set pieces especially.
Rojo's booking was weird. Not saying the challenge didn't deserve it but there was a clear foul on him that Clattenberk ignored. Address the first foul and nothing comes of it.Same story, really. No creativity, no movement from strikers. LvG hates improvisation.We need to bring another CM on.Lack of pace upfront is destroying this team,surely LVG must see this....… and he's not giving it back until people learn how to spell his name properly
If that's what it's all about, I'm ready to write it correctly for about 10000 times in a row.
I'm sorry mate, but we were terrible.Can't believe I'm agreeing with Jamie Carragher here
I'd be happy with fellaini up front and us knocking balls to him! That's how shit our current play is that bloody hoof ball seems a better alternative!!
I'd take that in an instant.Although we won 3-0, I said it against Leicester that there was no balance in our midfield. Also, our strikers are box players, and very rarely run the channels, which means every time our full backs get it, they look up and no ones there, just as Gary pointed out.
I'd take off Van Persie, and put on Herrera.
De Gea
Valencia - Jones - Rojo - Shaw
Blind
Herrera - Di Maria
Rooney
Januzaj - Falcao
Be nice if they didn't just stand next to them, holding hands. A bit of movement would be nice. Saying that the hoof ball to the front is pretty poor.
Like to see Him flanked by the speed of Wilson and Januzaj with Mata behind though!I really don't get van Gaal. I thought he was the strong character who would make the tough calls. I really dont see that. he is tinkering with the formation to fit in the big names. It really isnt workingThe worst thing, I think we would be better without Falcao and ADM. Those money will never come back United spent on them.Get Rooney upfront and bring Herrera on in the middle. RvP and Falcao don't work together, theyre too slow.Fellaini and Wilson ON please LVGStruggle to get my head around how any of this lot made a sex tape, the lack of penetration is clear to see.
Its every game though, regardless of who we are playing. Thats why people are upset, not just because its West Ham.
I'd take it as well. West Ham have been better.Last season we at least managed to hit the byeline
how true!
Wilson would be a good introduction too tbf.I wish we'd go for 1 striker up front for once. RVP and Falcao have barely connected well this season.- Status
