Where do you live? I dont like Schweinsteiger but I dont dislike him as well. I find the Bastian Fecking Schweinsteiger thing and all quite cringey as he has done feck all for our club so far, but there's no reason to dislike him either. He's just meh as United player.

Just wanted to bring this here, I kind of agree (not about the BFS thing doesn't bother me) but about his status as a United player. I think if we had have signed this Schweinsteiger in say 2011 (not the prime BFS) when the squad was humming along nicely I think it would have appeared a better signing.

Bringing him into this already mess of a squad has been rendered a bit pointless and thus made his signing seem a bit underwhelming. The story I love, wanted to play for this team for years and left his boyhood club to fulfill a dream. I just wish the squad was built better than he could flip in and out of it rather than this silly time-share type thing he had going.

the point of him coming was to steady the ship, not break him in to a well oiled machine. First half of the season he was the natural leader, calming influence on the pitch. We were expecting box to box but that was our mistake

Right wing I think but when you can't keep the ball the wide players are more like fullbacks.

It's just so frustrating. Certain players should only be used in certain positions. Schweinsteiger is the deep lying playmaker, Schneiderlin is box to box, Martial on the left, Mata and Fellaini at 10, Rojo centre back, Blind left back. They might not ultimately be good enough but at least you then get the best of them.

This makes too much sense for LVG to even try it.

It would have been a lot better to bring him into a well oiled machine rather than expect him to "steady the ship". Especially in a league as physical and as fast as the Premier League. Suicide really.
 
Very, very good when he came on. Showed a lot of urgency and made some good challenges to help drive us forward.
 
I thought he played well when he came on. Played a bit quicker than he usually does which helped a lot.
 
Was ok at best. Pushing Randolph into the net was the sum total of his contribution.
 
Better in that advanced midfield role where he can use his nous and experience and not have to track back as much.
 
Played well. Showed a lot of urgency.He is a leader. He communicates with the team. BFS, Herrera and Morgan should be the midfield till the end of the season. But LVG won't let than happen.
 
Randolph ran into him, Webb was chatting nonsense. Good cameo though and he certainly doesn't go through the motions on the pitch, if only more players could follow that example.
 
Assume it'll be him and Schneiderlin on Thursday. I think we can turn that tie round
 
A sub that actually improved us. If it wasn't for the fact that Depay came on at the same time I'd start to worry that LvG's lost his gift.

A good cameo, and his *cough* intervention in the goal was absolutely key. If he wasn't on the pitch Martial doesn't score. We don't have another player that clever.

Rubbish. Schweinsteiger blocked him off. He knew exactly what he was doing there. And I'm grateful for it.

We need a quick goal and anything is possible. I'd love to see Memphis, Bastian, Herrera, Martial, Rashford all pushing forward and exploiting Liverpool's week defence.

Nah I disagree he had eyes on the ball from Herrea along with Antonio. You can't give a foul for that.
 
He's presence alone made the difference, he did more in the 15 mins he was on than Fellaini has last two games.
 
He changed the game for us. I don't care if he's slowed down a bit he's still 4 times the player Fellaini will ever be.
 
I said it before, but he makes our midfield better even if he's not as good as he was. If fit, should always be 1st choice.
 
There's no way it was intentional. He didn't look at Randolph once and he got nudge from Antonio as he was running across and his natural momentum was to take the next step of course.

Anyway he was really good when he came on.

Do you? I like your optimism pal.

I struggle to see us scoring 2 or more in a game at the moment. Arsenal was quite a surprise.
 
Changed the game and makes others around him raise their games, shame he's on his last legs.

Completely agree,he's one of the few leaders we have. He has such an influence on our game, glad he's back. I'm sure Fellaini will start again in our next match though, Louis van Joke will continue to make ridiculous line ups. So many players playing out of position. Just waiting for Phil Jones to replace De Gea when he's fit again. God I hate Van Gaal.

Considering we've scored 3 against them in our last two home games then why not? I do think it's all a bit pointless though after seeing Dortmund play a few times though. Neither are going to win it.
 
Did really well and picked up great positions further forward. Needs to start against Liverpool and hopefully he stays fit for the run in, we might just pick up enough points to capitalize on Arsenal/City collapsing
