I am glad van gaal is mixing it up a bit, but i dont like it when he leaves a player out for a month. Once he drops you, you have to wait for quite some time to start again, especially if we are winning.

agreed, him and Carrick to start IMO.
Chelsea 1:1 Man Utd
Invisible when he came on.
Invisible and lacking composure and concentration.. A terrible back pass to Smalling who was on the groud which lead to the hand ball
i wish he was invisible , he actually looked shite!
More like rash and pointless. Lunged into utterly shit tackles. People accuse Fellaini of being stupid but this guy is not much better.
He is not suited to LVG's system, imo.
Yeh, wouldn't disagree with this assessment as well. At least Fellaini makes himself a nuisance with his awkward posture
Does anyone actually remember the last time he played well? Because for the love of baby Jesus, I don't.
He's feckin' useless at the moment.
Composure on the ball in midfield at this level is so important, he needs to shape up quickly.
Shits himself all too often
There's something in old Trafford water, every good player coming here turns to shite.
Rooney could have been a messi if he drinks bottled water alone, fatch

Waste of space at the moment
Been very poor lately, really needs to pull himself together.
Im kinda confused in what we are asking him to do.
Is he DM? Or Box to box? Or what?

Its too early to judge him. He's only settling into a team that is expected to win every game, he is not used to that pressure. Hopefully with a new manager and a season behind him, he will be better next season.
I've said this in virtually every game I've seen him play in.
I don't see him do anything good or bad.
I just don't see him at all.
You are behaving like he is 19 years old.
He is in his prime and at his age, he should be expected to perform at his best, from the get-go.
Perhaps under a new manager he will do better, though.
He actually managed to be a noticably worse midfielder than Fellaini when he came on today, which is damming both for him and Chelsea because this simply shouldn't be something that's even possible.
What kind of fecking idiot plays a hospital pass to a team mate who's lying face down on the floor? I would genuinely have subbed him back off again for that. Made it clear he was going to serve no purpose other than being a burden on the rest of the team.
Was he a good player before he came here though? I thought when we signed him it was a bit odd because he never looked that good to me at Southampton. People used to rave about him but I'd watch the same games and he'd seem pretty inconsequential to what was going on at best. Sometimes I'd think he was a bit rubbish and he'd still get ppraised...I thought he might be a good signing IF he could step it up as we need the type of player he is...but he needed to step up and so far he just looks like the same average player I was watching before...only I never noticed how often he gets caught daydreaming when he was at Southampton. Maybe that's something he's learnt from the likes of Jones?
Either way he isn't good enough at the moment. Either with or without the ball. Pretty much every part of his game needs a massive tidying up so hopefully it's just a lackof confidence issue.

He really has to stop sliding into tackles. Just stand your ground and usher them into a zone if you can't get to ball before them. It baffles me how seemingly intelligent looking players can constantly leave certain parts of their game unpolished.
Someone should tell him, he can't be dominant if he's constantly under other players. He should be upright facing them and force them to navigate around him.

Wanyama was the DM in their partnership. But with France he is decent in a limited role next to Pogba and Matuidi.
Atrocious when he came on. That pass back to Smalling when he was on the ground was shocking.
Southampton seem to be masters at selling average players for big fees
Schneiderlin, Lallana, Lovren, Clyne, Lambert = Almost £90m
Ok... so whats his role for United?
His distribution was vastly better at Southampton, which is what amuses me that he is shitting himself in possession every single time with us. Wanyama definitely wasn't the player running that team.
It seems to be DM, the role played by Wanyama...
In my opinion he is a box to box, he is good when he is free.
To an extent, but he doesn't have the foreign new to the PL excuse.
That's the disappointing thing, of the players we bought he was the one I expected to fit in easiest, but he's been less at home here than the 19 year old from Ligue 1.
Somebody said it before, can't remember who, but he looks like a player who could have played for Arsenal between 2007-2014 or so when they hardly won anything.
I like him a lot, but he's been wank lately.
I genuinely thought he was going to be " the one" for us. hopefully under a new manager. been woeful recently.
I said at the time id of rather signed Wanyama.
Not great today but I have faith. Morgan is class and it'll all click together eventually.

Fellaini was more disruptive. Perhaps he didn't get up to speed of the game but to be worse than Fellaini doesn't bode well for the rest of the season for him.
His form has completely disappeared. Needs to sort himself out quickly.
Before he joined us I thought he'd set this place on fire. I'm going to blame this on the tactics or something. How can I player go from being so good to being so crap? There's a reason almost all our players except for De Gea are playing so bad. Have they all been philosophized?
He's a box to box player & now he's more like a static DM with us (based on instructions probably), he's not a thinker like Carrick or Schweini, so, of course, his performances wil be affected by that. He's more instinctive, or gung ho etc. If we allow him play that way, we'll see the real player in him. He's a fantastic player going through a bad patch, I'm not that worried.
Depay is getting a lot of flack (fair enough) in his thread for the incident leading up to the goal... but what the feck is Morgan doing up there anyway? We're trying to defend a one goal lead... he's brought on as our defensive midfielder, surely the only thing he should be interested in is sitting back an shielding the defense?!
I think that it's tactical because I've seen three Schneiderlin in the last 2 years. The first is the Southampton B2B, he is very good in his passing, running and pressing game. Then I saw Schneiderlin the DM for the french team, with Cabaye he was bad, with Matuidi he was good, finally I saw him play as a pure DM for United and he is bad. Schneiderlin isn't a defensive player so he is best when he shares the defensive work, he isn't a covering midfielder either, he is the type of midfielder who will run at the ball carrier and we are asking him to do the opposite.
He was doing his job, which in that particular attack (the one that lead to Chelsea's equalizer) was tracking Willian. And had Memphis not fecked up the simplest of passes, Morgan would have probably put all three points in the bag, just before that. And for all it's worth he rushes back, after he has already sprinted at the opposite end of the pitch, and he marks his man.
We were forced very deep because, with the introduction of both Pedro and Hazard (plus Fabregas in a free role) Costa had someone to link up with. And all of three of them were playing very centrally, so Morgan and Carrick had to keep an eye on them. What we needed was better hold up play but with Mata, Memphis, Rooney and a rather tired Martial, we were just giving them the ball back. Any good possession side would have put the game to bed long before the 91st minute, considering the risks Hiddink took in the last 20 minutes of the game.
The only Schneiderlin I have seen is in our team. I thought he was a DM and we bought him for that specific role. Now I read people saying he's a B2B CM. So, thats him, Herrera, Fellaini and I guess Blind and Schweinsteiger best as a B2B. Isn't that guy Sanches the same too? Am I on the wrong track here?
