coogar:when Falcao missed the sitter, i actually expected him to be subbed for Rooney to move forward. Smalling replacing Valencia - Valencia moving to the right of diamond - Jones moving to right back - Januzaj off for Herrera/Mata as well. we could have equalized much earlier before Fellaini (for van Persie or Rooney) comes on for the battering job in the last 10 minutes. the starting combo in the diamond didn't have much pawa & apparently we were going feel it against Song, Nolan & Noble. Over all, it was a difficult away game won/lost by fine margins. I just hope van Gaal can sort out our away form before the start of next season cuz we'll need it if we are to mount any serious title challenge 1 Like |

montelik: Is welbeck a man utd player, cos I'm struggling to get your point here ![]() On numerous occasions, peeps here have taken solace in our decision to "test drive" falcao (a test he keeps on failing ), before signing him permanently. On this same thread, we have people who are of the opinion that he should quietly pack his bags and head back to his hometown in Columbia at the end of the season, so why are you sounding as if he's being spared of criticism? ![]() |

SailorXY: if rooney cannot play as a striker, he shouldn't be in the team. it's that simple. we lose a lot of urgency with his nonsense diagonal ball. when west ham had their breaks, they hit straight balls to sakho & valencia.... when united countered, rooney keeps playing nonsense diagonal & backward passes. |

I think the real problem with this team is that we've got an arrogant mad hatter scientist in charge,tinkering with the team. Wtf is the point of having 65-70% of possession if your strikers are not putting the ball in the back of the net. What is the point of dominatong possession if at the end you are gonna go Stoke-esque and hoff the ball to bean pole Felliani ala Peter Crouch?Why not start Felliani from the get go and lets huff the ball to him if thats the only way to get goals. Van Gaal should realise there is no way he can keep on playing Van Persie,Falcao and Rooney at the same time. One or two of them have to drop out for the team to function. Valencia is played out of podition ditto di Maria and Rooney. These experiments are gonna end badly if we miss ouy on Champions league football again. |

Caveatemptor: That is koko so to speak. It is clear LVG is still experimenting with the entire squad. No real pattern or shape to the side from week to week, home and away. Players persistently being played out of position. This season is clearly one for lots of experimentation, but whatever happens LVG must finish in the top 4, else he may be shown the door and with good reason. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 8:51pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
montelik: and rooney is the reason players are being moved up and down. LVG has said rooney must play(form or no form) in every game by the virtue of him being the captain. rooney playing in the midfield denies genuine midfielders like mata, fellaini & herrera & thus our game play suffers a lot. rooney was like cleverley today, loads of diagonal, square and back passes. |

coogar:I always feel like puking anytime we are attacking and he backs the 2 CFs and pings it to the right which allows the opponent defence to settle. What then is the need for the 2 CFs or is he too dull to learn we're no more doing a flat 4-4-2 ![]() Credit should be given to Valencia; dude runs the whole of that flank |

What I can't understand about this dominating possession and no end result from the strikers. Falcao keeps falling all over the place. The goal he missed is suposed to be bread and butter to a striker of his "class". And he has to hit the damn target and at least make the keeper Adrian work. Van Persie too missed a sitter he should be putting away but at least he forced a save from the keeper. And why doesn't Louis Van Gaal ever get off his fat arze and come to the touch line to organise or reorganise his team?All coaches do it except him and it reeks of arrogance. He just sits there scibbling his mad scientist theories in his note pad before deciding to play more playerdout of position in the next match. 1 Like |

chrisley024: He can't continue to play Van Persie,Rooney and Falcao at once in the same team. He should get on his feet and bark out instructions to organise his team when things are going wrong and do less of his mad scientist scribblings in his note pad. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 9:23pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
chrisley024: rooney & blind completed 41 passes each. of the 41 passes rooney completed, only 15 went forward, 15 went backwards and 11 were square passes. of the 41 passes blind completed, 24 went forward, only 7 went backwards and 10 were square passes. |

Cant God just take us back to the post wc period when Lvg was d best coach in football history for long ball United fans............ Lolss, spend 200m just to play long ball....... Crouch is up for just 60m, nzonzi for 40m,Gomis for 55m.......at least u spent 60m for di crossia |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by coogar: 9:40pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
bigkesh: the long ball stuff is half truth. united are the 4th best in short passes in the league. rooney is responsible for 90% of those long passes. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by SailorXY: 9:44pm On Feb 08, 2015 |
Caveatemptor:Rooney did well in the midfield according to his abilities. van Gaal plays him out of position & for that i cannot really blame the player. the case of van Persie & Falcao is just the lack of pace in them. Falcao's pace has tailed off greatly maybe because of injuries & van Persie is going on in age. the same can be said even of Rooney, although he still possesses some pawa. i think the way out right now is to pair Falcao or RvP with Rooney, or we switch formation to a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3 with Falcao or van Persie is the point man. i believe the lone striker method will actually bring out their poaching instincts more, which is what they are both used to in their prime years anyway! in the long term, one of Falcao or van Persie will leave @ the end of the season for a pacy forward (not Cavani please) |
