weedtaker: I think Mata and Herrera have lined up behind a striker this season. But Herrera is injured now. It looks to me Mata plays better if Val is the one behind him. Who has a return date for our injured players? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 9:48am On Nov 26, 2015 |
tess1: I was fuming when he brought in Fellani for Schweinsteiger, but I thought he won't be dumb enough to commit another gaffe until the bastard removed Darmian for Mata. In short, Gaal is the worst thing to happen to United in its entire history!! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 9:50am On Nov 26, 2015 |
weedtaker: And who sold all our attackers and best crosser, di Maria? So i should blame Adelana1 instead of Gaal? www.nairaland.com/attachments/3118517_cqlinzquaaakkv9_jpega758e98690670761bc314c6aea134f4e |

chrisley024: This is why we need variety of players. Players with different attributes. Towards the end of the game, PSV came out but we didn't have a player to run with the ball utilizing the gaps. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 9:56am On Nov 26, 2015 |
sinizia:lol. We even have no striker on the bench to be called upon in situations like yesterday instead Fellaini. This man is hell bent on teaching his philosophy and should rather be in a school. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 9:59am On Nov 26, 2015 |
chrisley024: The idiott had all the time and money to buy top strikers, but instead he sold them all and put his hope on an aging White Pele. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 10:00am On Nov 26, 2015 |
elampiro:reason why de sale of di maria hurt me real bad, only if rooney hasn't lost his pace energy nd sharpness he would've wrecked havoc, giving the amount of space available for him to utilise elampiro:yea, i think mata's recent dip in form is due to vaL's injury, he seems to play better and drift infield comfortably with val at right back. I don't know our injured players return date, but i think jones and herrera would be fit for the match against leiceister |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by weedtaker: 10:09am On Nov 26, 2015 |
sinizia:Lol... I'm just saying that GaaL's philosophy ain't the problem for our lack of goal return, with the right attacking players and this philosophy that has made our defence a rock, we'll be up there with the best in europe in no time. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:10am On Nov 26, 2015 |
sinizia: Someone told me yesterday that this is the kind of game Maria would have utilized the gaps in midfield. I remember when we played Leverkusen. Jones and Giggs in midfield. Leverkusen appeared to have an upper hand. But Jones wins the ball and passed to Nani or Giggs. You needed to see the quickest of ball transition. Nani was particularly delightful, he dropped very deep. Once he received a pass, voom off he goes with it to the final third before you could pronounce NANI. Val and Nani were in the wings and it was a typical Manchester United attacking display, great counter attacking play particularly. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by parrotibaba(m): 10:14am On Nov 26, 2015 |
For me rooney was decent in the first half and utter sh't in the 2nd half, hell he would have caused a goal for PSV if not that Locadia decided to shoot from outside the box. Memphis was our worst player on the night, couldn't dribble, couldn't even pick a pass and held onto the ball far too long. I'm beginning to think that he should be pushed upfront or behind the striker where his brain fart will be limited. PSV were more mobile than us yesterday, the few times they got the ball, you could sense an urgency to put it into the box and attack. Had it been a better team, we would have lost. For the first time since he came to United, Morgan was crap yesterday, he didn't make any forward runs, looked confused with the ball and gave it away cheaply plus he was being dragged around by the likes of guadado. Martial was our best attacking threat yesterday but he had some few chances which he should have fired a shot but instead he passed it, thereby wasting the opportunity. I think fellaini kept losing the ball and our midfield lost it in the 2nd half. El jefe is another culprit in yesterday's debacle. We all knew that PSV will sit deep and try to hit us on the break kinda like the CSKA match where he went gung ho but instead he kept Mata on the bench and when he eventually removed Memphis and brought on young, he farted leprechauns by first removing darmian and then moved young who was finally getting a lot of joy on the left side to the right back position. WTF? I don't think lingaard should be starting all our games IMO, he offered little going forward and often had to drift in field to find a bit of joy and we are here screaming about how Mata doesn't take on players instead enjoys drifting infield. We have it all to do in Germany, nothing less than a win and I believe we will win in Germany and CSKA will cause a lot of trouble in eindhoven. Finally El jefe should fire our attack team coach cos we don't trouble the opposition gks and defense and we create so little going forward. The transition of the ball is too slow and this possession philosophy ain't working since we lack the players to perform with the style. We also lack in the defensive unit, bar smalling who was decent yesterday the rest were torn to shreds by the quick feet of PSV's offensive players. |

We have another creative outlet in Young but i don`t know the reason why he`s hell bent in converting him into a fullback. Young on the left offers the team creativity, assist and goals. Di Maria left because of him but now he`s not using him properly. Young should be starting ahead of Memphis until there`s an improvement in his game. Apart from LVG`s philosophy, his choice of personnel and subs can give someone heart attack. At a point yesterday, i was praying PSV don`t score when the pressure was so much that no one was able to tame those player`s crisp passes. And that was because they fancied their chances. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by parrotibaba(m): 10:24am On Nov 26, 2015 |
Imagine Scholes criticising martial for not being bothered when he didn't score yesterday. What the hell is wrong with this ex English players and English pundits? At least Roy Keane isn't blind to the frequent brain farts by our able captain. He absolutely blasted the white Pele. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:24am On Nov 26, 2015 |
El jefe! abeg what's the meaning? |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:24am On Nov 26, 2015 |
weedtaker: When Schweinsteiger went out no ball was going to attack and Rooney dropped deep later on to try to help the midfield. But he could not use speed and energy to cover the grounds in his front when he got the ball. If he had the kind of energy he used against Watford he would have wrecked havoc. I wonder if he got tired as he has not trained until Tuesday. This is why we need players with different ability to change game when need arises. I think even Herrera could have given us something if he came late on, but the yeye injuries plaguing us. |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 10:26am On Nov 26, 2015 |
elampiro: Our wingers were poor last night, utterly poor!! Lingard and Memphis were pathetically annoying with no new innovation or trickery in their ammunition All they were attempting to do was dribble and dribble without looking to cross the ball, something di Maria does with aplomb. I've never supported selling of di maria and i'll never support it. We lost a rare gem in that guy no thanks to Gaal's hatred of him. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:27am On Nov 26, 2015 |
parrotibaba: Not exactly so. ........ “Attacking wise, they just don’t look a threat, they don’t look good enough, they don’t look like they can score goals,” the former United midfielder told BT Sport. “Martial, for me, he’s still got a lot to prove goalscoring wise, he isn’t a centre-forward where he lives for goals, he likes to play outside of the box, he likes to drift to the left wing, he doesn’t look like he’s bothered if he misses a chance, he doesn’t look bothered if he scores a goal, where as a centre-forward, all you live for is scoring goals. He doesn’t look that type of player to me, and maybe Manchester United need to go into the transfer market for one of them.” |

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by funlord(m): 10:54am On Nov 26, 2015 |
A REAL CAPTAINS ADVICE: "It seemed a strange atmosphere at Old Trafford last night, they lacked cutting edge. You got the impression the players were waiting for something to happen, rather than going and making it happen. Rooney was recently going on about lack of composure and quality, but I think he was as guilty as anybody. He needs to step up to the plate." "You look at Wayne's legacy at Old Trafford, it's absolutely fantastic. His goals record is brilliant. But now he's the captain there's more responsibility and I think he's got to do a lot more." "I always question certain players what are they doing off the field! Last week I saw him slapping a wrestler and I'm thinking Why is he getting involved in all that nonsense?' There's no benefit to him. I'd have a look at that side of it." "It's certainly not helping him. I wouldn't begrudge him going out and enjoying himself, but if you're not at it yourself you've got to have a look and lead by example. He didn't do that tonight. He doesn't look sharp, he looks awful. Mentally he doesn't look really sharp; physically he doesn't look in great shape. He needs to have a look at himself." ROY 'KEANO' KEANE......sky sports!!! |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by parrotibaba(m): 11:09am On Nov 26, 2015 |
The most annoying thing about El jefe these days is that he doesn't seem to care about anything. Last season he listened to fans, ex players and pundits alike. He changed formations and personnel. When we were playing the 3-5-2 formation the fans screamed for the 4-4-2 formation and he changed to it but somehow this season, he doesn't give two shakes of a rat's about anything. Must we always line up in the 4-2-3-1 formation? How about the 4-3-3 formation which was clearly our best formation and delivered the best football and play since the start of his tenure. Right now I wish his contract is expiring this summer so that we can go for the likes of pep, carlo or simeone. |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by sinizia: 11:18am On Nov 26, 2015 |
When Dadehmola and I were saying we don't need to waste our money on CR7, some people were kicking against it, i hope this article helps buttress my points as to why we shouldn't buy CR& back. He’s still a magnificent specimen, would sell a shed-load of shirts and possibly score plenty of goals but petulant Portuguese is not the player he was |

An anonymous Manchester United star has
reportedly admitted that he is “half the
player” under Louis van Gaal. United limped to a goalless draw against PSV on Wednesday evening which means that they are still not certain of a place in the Champions League knockout phase with just an away trip to Wolfsburg remaining. Reports of Van Gaal’s strict regime having a negative impact on the players have already surfaced this season but The Daily Telegraph’s chief football correspondent Jason Burt told BBC Radio 5live: ”I’ve got to be careful what I say here but I've spoken to one player at United who told me he's half the player he can be here at the moment because of the way they are playing. "He doesn't feel that it's fair on him. He doesn't feel that it's fair on the fans. “He can't express himself properly and finds it very difficult to play here." |
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Nobody: 11:51am On Nov 26, 2015 |
LVG's United are boring and dont entertain. Wednesday night's dull draw against a limited opponent was a case in point. United had Champions League knockout qualification, Sir Alex Ferguson's bread and butter, on the line yet Van Gaal's side strolled their way through an achingly boring match as if possession was more important than goals. Now they will probably need to win at Wolfsburg to go through. Ferguson -- even to his detriment at times -- loved a gamble. That is what United are meant to do; take a chance. Losing 3-0 at half-time away from home? No bother, score one and let's see what happens. Tottenham in the 2001-02 season didn't know what hit them and United won 5-3. Van Gaal has forgotten more about football than the majority of United supporters will ever know, yet he warrants an increasing amount of criticism for his awful football, his stubbornness, his poor substitutions and his ridiculous scepticism of certain players such as Ander Herrera who, though currently injured, is United's best midfielder.
