I dont think it has to do with Giggs. We went out and bought 2 midfielders to play the formation with 2 DMs, something van Gaal played at Bayern with Van Bommel and Schweini. I just think Louis doesnt like being so open, so changed it.

Thank feck for that!
Back to save our season for the second time.
Herrera is the top gear of the United engine, if you wanna score, you want Herrera.
Rooney is back also. He will not play.
Hope we can get a good 10 games out of him now. Needs to get a good run.
In Ander I trust.
The lad will disappoint you all, he can't turn it all around by himself....if he even plays 
Hmm...Back to the game of where can we hide Rooney to least negative effect?
If we stick him out left we lose Memphis, who is one of our few players who can beat a man and score a solo goal.
If we stick him up top we screw the whole attack.
In midfield he keeps Herrera out.
Man Utd 1:2 Norwich
shit hair
We missed him so much. Everyone has been shit without him.
We need him on the field whenever he is fit.
Looked off the pace, as you'd expect. Should have started, so he could have felt his way in to the game whilst we were on top. Didn't expect him to save the game for us, but he did okay. Needs to start always.
I don't think he had any impact at all today.
Body language expert here.
There was a few times where Norwich broke and sure you'll have to take into account he was probably winded/rusty but he didn't make much of an effort to bust a gut to track back/with any intent.
This the Herrera, who always gives it his all even when he has to come on for a minute after being frozen out for several games etc.
Very telling LVG has even lost Herrera's prforessionalism and enthusiasm. He even cut his cut ffs! That says it all.

Looked a bit off but he should be one of the first names on the team sheet. Just so much more talented then Fellaini and actually attack minded compared to the other midfielders
I'm not one of his biggest fans but deserves a run of games
What he did today shows what weve been lacking all season when he hasn't played as a CM. I'm not even going to go there with Fellaini, I'm just going to come out with it and say it, we didn't need to buy Bastian, Herrera is that player we need. He kept us ticking over, kept the ball moving, opening up pockets of space, making us less predictable and Carrick also improved his game when he came on. The difference between him and Fellaini is universes apart, Fellaini just runs into the box and we end up hoofing it to him, where as Herrera supports Carrick and is always there for a pass or pick up the ball out side the box. This is the player that should be one of the first on the team sheet along with De Gea, Smalling and Martial.
Some people seem to see only what they want to see, I thought it was very visible today that he's been out for a while and it seemed like he was lacking both in match tempo and fitness. He should definitely be a starter for us when fit but today it was the right call to start him on the bench.
He was pretty anonymous. Lacked match fitness though so it can be excused.
Nope, it's the same type of thing Fellaini gets murdered for, it's clear instructions from the manager to stay up front most of the time, we're virtually playing with 1 defensive midfielder in Carrick, it's a 4-1-3-2 of some sort.
He did nothing. No need to hype his performance.
Saying that he does deserve more chances to play with Carrick.

I will put yesterday down to rustiness. He needs a run in the team not a sub appearance or game here and there. Even Jamie Jackson and Micky Quinn were saying he should be in the side. So should Morgan. He hit on a good formula last season and lo and behold ditched it this season. A midfield 3 and let BFS rotate. No Fellaini unless we are absolutely desperate and mainly no bloody Rooney. The formation last season brought the best out of Mata as well and they actually looked like they were enjoying themselves. We can't have that can we Louis.
Must start today, we need a player who's going to break down their defence with a cutting pass. He's the most likely of our players to do that.
I agree. Criminally underused this season
Stoke 2:0 Man Utd
He's not helping himself getting back into squad playing like this.
Shit first half showing. We really have made him out to be this saviour he isnt.
Why is he playing so deep?
Yep.
He should be playing further forward not the defensive pair along with Carrick. It's obvious this is not his best position, Van Gaal playing a player out of position and you expect him to play a blinder typical 
The truth is the difference between all the midfielders at United is not that great, they all have flaws and are not close to world class. So whoever you play is a gamble.
At least he's showing some passion, all the others have stopped playing for this club.
He's the only one showing some character and trying things on the ball. Martial too.. everyone else has been shocking.
He'd expect him to complete some passes.He should be playing further forward not the defensive pair along with Carrick. It's obvious this is not his best position, Van Gaal playing a player out of position and you expect him to play a blinder typical
He's shit like everybody else, then you've got people who are even worse. Bored of players who are just trying, we've got enough of those. Captain is coming on to show us that he's trying as well.
he misplaced some passes but apart that he's our best player and at least looks like he's trying. Carrick on the other hand is still on vacation. Herrera is the last player to critisize..
He's been poor
But everytime he passes forward Fellaini, mata, martial and Memphis are fecking it up with a shite first touch

Playing shite but who isn't? Pretty clear the players aren't the real problem here.
