    Not been on the site for a while. A lot has changed since my last post. Going to drop a few opinions here on the whole situation. Van Gaal sacking: Correct decision. We were going nowhere with him. The football was rubbish and when there is no tangible improvement over time he didn't deserve...

    Mahrez would be nice. Just carry on where he left off at Leicester. Januzaj should still be here and in this schedule would have got games. Waste of time at Dortmund. Sent from my GT-S6810P using Tapatalk

    Rooney was lively in the first half but out of it in the second. On the whole he was one of the better performers. Lot of rubbish served up in the second half. Savage made a good observation - players looked shattered. Schneiderlin especially which could explain the hospital passes near the end...

    I've seen some say Schneiderlin wasn't picked because his performances so far have been a tad innocuous. My response is that this was our first real test of our credentials therefore you pick the most balanced midfield. Schweinsteiger and Carrick as a pair are a much of a muchness in the...

    His goal was to get back in the Champions League. He achieved it. He put up a formidable title challenge. Last season if you won on the final day you'd have finished 5th. Two cup semi-finals. Dalglish's reign in the league was shocking. He's made some clangers in his decisions transfer wise...

    This game was the type Schneiderlin was bought for and the way Fellaini played coming on showed that we would have done better with a dominant presence in midfield.

    Too much smoke for there not to have been fire. Rodgers must have known right from the summer that with his coaching team being dismissed and the board bringing in new guys, that the level in confidence in him was low. That should have sent alarm bells ringing in his head that he was fortunate...

    There was a period during 2009-2011 when he was underwhelming. His passing and reading of the game has been there since he arrived but at that point he was at times a passenger, and other times a liability because he didn't do much. See Carrick now and in 12-13 was excellent as he was sitting...

    Long ball to Fellaini is our best way of creating chances. While Mata and Herrera are sacrificed to fit in big name players who aren't performing. Blind is cultured and and Rojo suits the PL but as for the rest of the summer signings..

    Playing safe has cost us points and allowed other teams back into the mix for top 4. It's allowed Southampton to get to 3rd. If you don't trust your defence, utilise your attack. Our attack is full of quality players yet we're sacrificing to put an extra man at the back. Goals win games...

    My biggest gripe is not results, it's his mentality and how he gets away with it because he packs it up in the word philosophy to come across better than if he were like Moyes who was too honest for his own good and admit things are in a bad state. The football is so defensive. Moyes was...

    Herrera for Carrick. We need some more energy and dynamism and to be honest Carrick is playing too passive. They're not closing him down but he's still taking too long to pick a pass, and even then it's sideways and backwards.

    This is very uninspiring. I hope it's one of those games where the players settle in and dominate after getting the breakthrough.

    If you're judging passing ability on how a pass is categorized for stats then you don't get the bigger picture.

    Difference with Smalling is that his passes are hopeful, aimless punts, not accurate measured passes. Also United defenders will have passing stats higher because most of our play revolves around passing backwards and sideways in our own half. Liverpool are getting their confidence and style...
