The Manchester United Thread

Pathetic. Making Yeovil look like some top PL team. This system is a joke and shame Van Gaal can't see that.

We have nobody good enough on the ball to hold up play and actually lay it on for the attackers. And this formation doesn't allow for that much too, too many gaps in order to do so.

Its so obvious that we don't have CBs who are good on the ball yet Van Gaal somehow is playing a system which required CBs with skill on the ball and ability to play from the back. Getting tiresome and bit worrying for United fans.

True enough. Dunno why he's persisting with it, guess will have to wait and see.

Wilson is playing rather well.

Because he is an arrogant SOB. Robben made the system work and we dont have anyone near his level.

Arrogant? Yes. Foolish? Naw;; Which is why I'm still holding out judgement until we see where he wants to go with this. Plus, will probably work better when we get Fellaini and di Maria back..

It doesn't suit our players. Evans who was decent CB looks absolutely clueless in this system, same with all CBs.

Mancini tried this and paid price when they dropped silly points, then he switched to back 4 and eventually got sacked.

Rafael and Shaw are not wingbacks, they are good with overlapping runs. They can't attack on their own.
 
Terrible game. McNair doesn't know where he is. Even Blackett looks better than him. Shaw doesn't look even good enough to be backup for Young. Dare I say god ****, why is Young injured :(
Lets hope Januzaj comes in for McNair and it switches to 4-3-3 or something like that.

Best wingbacks are wingers. That's why Young is doing well. He's tricky enough to be threat in offense, he's disciplined enough to not be considered liability when defending. Rafael and Shaw are both attacking minded fullbacks, however, they don't have that flair in them to dribble past their man constantly.
 
Lets be honest guys that performance has nothing to do with the system! Hope LVG puts a rocket up them at HT! That was just woeful in everyway!

That's why they are poor wing backs. They can't attack like wingers. Its like we are poor attacking from middle and also from wings. Not sure what's the point of this **** tactic.

It's system. When you have no one to pass then you just kick the ball as far as possible and that's what our players are doing.

Shaw is still getting back to fitness, and is technically not a WB anyhow;; He'll be good in a 4 man defence;;

Yeah, pretty much what happened with us. Way too many gaps, so players trying for longer passes to connect, which is not happening properly due to some good pressing by Yeovil..

Is it the system that McNair is getting bullied off the ball? Is it the system that is stopping us playing 2-3 yard passes? Is it the system for our poor concentration? Is it the system that Fletcher is ****? Is it he system that Blackett has no ergency as a player? Think people use this to much, when we cant even do the basics.

I know. It doesn't change the fact that at this moment, he's not good enough. Maybe in a couple of weeks we can see some improvement.

Neither Blackett nor McNair are Ball Playing Defenders. Blackett has been making mistakes even at the start of the season, think he needs a loan move to a PL club for a season to properly develop. McNair has been a bit staggered after the head-crash. Also, lack of movement and proper understanding in the team is leading to long range passes..
 
And we've gone to the Diamond now.., although McNair at RB, and Evans on for Shaw..
