If he does, it bodes very badly for the future.
1. How many other top managers play with 3 at the back? When the 62 year old man retires we'll be at building block 1 again.
2. Missing out on top 4 this season, which will happen if it takes at least 3 months to gel, will confirm this isn't a blip.
3. These players are not suited to 3-5-2. We will have to spend ludicrous amounts of money to create the team.
I'll give you my unpopular opinion, today's game only reinforced it...
It's my personal opinion that DDG is not such a good goalkeeper.
It's my personal opinion that DDG is not such a good goalkeeper.
but according to some experts over here, moyes was the only problem and once he d be gone we would live happily ever after. When moyes said we need at least 5 players, he was ridiculed over here....
it shows how clueless certain posters were...
Mind you, i still think lvg is the right man for us but the main problem imo was woody not moyes. He covered his ass very well, first by replacing united s most unpopular manager with a more popular one and now by spending big.
fixing this mess will take time as the club will lose money axing players and new players will take time integrating themselves. I just hope people realise this and be patient will lvg AND his players
Indeed. One thing that's become very clear tonight is we need more than a plaster to make things right. The thing that frustrated me the most tonight wasn't the youngsters failing to make a name for themselves but the established players looking half arsed, Welbeck, Januzej, Evans looked like the game was below them. LVG has a massive task in his hands.
Unpopular opinion: this result didn't really bother me in the slightest as I couldn't care less about this competition. If it helps reinforce the idea that we need to strengthen defence and midfield then all for the good.
That certainly is unpopular.
I don't know if after today this is such an unpopular opinion, but Rojo is the best CB we have in our squad
I think that that game will be the making of LVG here and hammer home to the players whats needed.
Sort of a 'always darkest before the dawn thing' but more: 'do you stupid cnuts actually want to be losing to league one teams? Learn how to play the game.'

Not united related but:
I dont see the hype around sterling. Think hes very over-rated and by the end of his career, he'll only achieve marginally better acclaim than shaun wright-phillips, with a lesser trophy cabinet probably.
Dont shoot me.

It's quite strange you say that following an impressive first half. Each to their own I suppose.
He is one player that deserves the hype he gets.
There you go though, an unpopular opinion.
there are stupid opinions.
It's his opinion mate and read the thread please.
What makes you say he is overrated though? Everything he does looks intelligent. From his movement to his decision making. Add the fact that he's quick and has great control, you have a good player.
I am just saying that this opinion is stupid. Everybody is obviously entitled to hold stupid views; so am I.
Sterling was highly overrated in 2012/13 but in 2013/14

Pretty much. He's the best teenager in Europe and has been our best player in 2014.
Hes obviously not shit, hes obviously a very competent player, but i think hes still over-rated. I was far more impressed with jack wilshere as a teenager than i am with sterling, and wilshere was never praised as much as sterling.
Fair enough if thats what you believe, i personally dont see it. That said i dont know who i feel the best teenager in europe is right now tbf, but i just dont think its him.
Falcao won't be a success.*
* I'm not saying he won't be, just stating my fears and a clearly unpopular opinion at the same time.

The wages we are paying lately are ridiculous.
Add that to getting rid of a lot of our English players, Welbeck, Cleverley, Zaha, Keane, Rio etc
And then buying already established players at exorbitant prices.
We are becoming more and more like City Every season since SAF's departure.

"When a world class player is available you should sign them"
This statement is not a sensible transfer strategy to take.

I'm not too fussed we've gotten rid of English players/Academy players because they aren't good enough for this club.
If they were, they'd be playing and be vital to our team and it's success.

If Anderson's legs hold up (I know it's a big if), he'll be a very important player for us this season.
I would rather play Januzaj on right wing than Mata/Rooney/RVP. Simply because he might be very good if given a lot of chances on this position, while we already know what we will get from the other 3 there. At the end of the season tough decisions will have to be made either way.
I'm talking about proper 4-3-3 with no number 10 position.

I feel the same. 4-3-3 with a front 3 of Januzaj, Falcao and Di Maria.
Thats not controversial. It's blatantly obvious.
Think that would probably be the majority opinion on here. Mata is useless anywhere other then as a 10 and he's been underwhelming since he's signed, Rooney is productive but his overall game isn't exciting and Van Persie has been mostly shit since he achieved his goal and won the title.
Evans has never been United quality
Depends in what context you're talking. If you mean top, top quality as in the level of Ferdinand and Vidic then I'd agree and I don't think he'll reach those heights, but in general terms I think he's been a fairly good defender for us and is deserving of a place in the squad, even if he shouldn't be first choice if we had a better defence.
Evans was great the season that Basel player sat on Vidic's leg.
Well done, that's the most ridiculous opinion I've seen in this thread.
If he means starting XI quality, I'd agree. He's not in the top 4 quality bracket at his best IMO, though he could be a squad player at the top clubs. He just makes too many mistakes to be part of it, even ignoring the injury problems.
Basically if he was starting for us, it would be a position we would look to improve on.
About right.
As for definitions of quality I think that all members of a squad should be starting XI quality. Difficult I know but that's where the bar is these days - 2 quality players for each position. You're either good enough to be on the pitch or you're not. It's all about squad depth these days and everyone is going to be playing at some point if a team is active in all competitions. I personally don't think Evans is good enough to represent us - he's just become our senior defender by default.
Yeah I'd agree, he's a player who's good to have and I'd generally rate fairly highly, but I don't he's never going to be a world class defender who will be our main defender. A bit like Welbeck in that sense, perhaps.
No way, I had this discussion multiple times here and I was told that RVP/Roo should be played ahead of Januzaj there because of their decision making and because they are much better players at the moment (which they are, but we're talking about specific role in specific formation). Plus I have been told many times Mata can be good out wide because he did play there back in Spain (I won't argue about that, but we're talking about here and now).
