Does it really matter the score line? We lost the fear factor that was certain to creep in when you're up against Man utd of the yesteryears just cause LVG was on about his philosophy ish...

The team that outscores the other wins Are you related to Spy360

No, I am related to The Nevilles

Diademk07:


Most of them still camped and countered against us though..

No doubt we shoulda break them down and done better but we lacked the pacey quality individuals both upfront and in the middle to do that. We were a lot better with Rash and Linggard for example.

Which all boils down to the blunders Van gaal had in the transfer market.. For example, Depay whose acceleration and agility were/are non-existent or the crock, Schweini who looked sluggish and unfit..

And there were Rojo and Darmain who looked garbage on the flanks.

elrony:

Haha. ..see scheme! !!!... Dmcdad can you dug it?

patrickmuf:
I'm happy you acknowledge the fact that LVG got it wrong most times he went buying, however, I'd appreciate if you at least give it up for Mou for the quality show his signings have put up so far instead of jumping on the lame excuse of individual brilliance.
Now to expose your folly, on the one hand you say Mou shouldn't be praised cos it's all down to individual brilliance rather than his tactical acumen as a coach but on the other hand you blame the poor display from Depay, Herrera, Schweini, Schneiderlin, Rojo for Van Gaals failure, so what if they all played to their capacity, would you entertain other folks here attributing any success we attain to their respective quality and not that of the team led by LVG?

This one that everybody is giving the match to United. Am keeping an open mind. The style of play on display will be more important to me than the result tomorrow

Diademk07:


The team played as a functional unit though but lacked the quality. That's the key point..

If we had set out relying on individual brilliance, we would've been battling relegation like those small teams as soon as those individual moments weren't forth coming..

Exactly what happened at Chelsea last season when attacking teams such as Everton, Southampton etc were toying with them..

SailorXY:
style of play my ass.
Give me 3 points & keep your style of play.

patrickmuf:
The quality in these and any case is the individual brilliance you're using to discredit Mou.
Small small, you go rope yourself in...

Diademk07:


Take the Dortmund friendly match for example, where all the average players were assembled..

We were not only camped in our half but were well spanked in that game! Same happened vs Galatasaray in the 1st half.

That could have happened a lot in the league if Van gaal had dared to take one foot off his possession tactic like he did vs Pool in the Europa 1st leg match.

patrickmuf:
So why are you against Mou for massively improving the quality of our team in just one window compared to LVG who had multiple chances to get things right?

SailorXY:
currently not good enough
