Does Valencia ever go left?

One of the things I loved about Janmaat early on. If you covered the outside too much he attacked the middle straight away. Valencia is one of the worst at continuing to drive down blind alleys.

So many British players love the sideways and backward pass man, my God!!!

Jonny Evans has been comically bad

 

So little ability with the ball. The guy plays football everyday for a living!

 

Better than Piqué according to Fergie, you know.

 

ManU are awful, awful.

Geeeeeez, Pique in this formation would be getting assists from centre back, there's so much room for them to get forward and play balls to the forward players.

Bet you'd do a better job. amirite?

You're not wrong

Van Gaal should be ashamed. Used to be such an attack minded manager..

He's had just Fletcher sitting inmidfield., with Van Persie, Rooney, Mata and Di Maria allowed freedom to get forward, as well as the wing backs too!

The defenders and Fletcher cannot get the ball forward without hoofing it over everyone's heads. They better find some defenders that can pass the ball.

Di Maria is going to be class man. Excellent addition.

Colback and Sissoko worries me greatly, neither are very good at dropping deep, circulating possession and making themselves available for a pass.

 

Last two weeks when Anita went off we struggled to keep the ball at all because neither of them understand the role.

We'll see what Colback is made of today, with no Anita alongside him.

Phil Jones keeps yelling at people and he's playing terribly 

Going to be comfortable win now.

Stop it 

Just echoing what others are saying really but Man Utd need somebody deep in midfield collecting the ball because the centre halves and Fletcher are awful on the ball

What's disturbing is that the centre backs don't have to do anything extraordinary. Just take a few more steps forward to draw men off the midfielders, and then pop the ball into them! It's actually winding me up how bad they are at it. I mean these guys do this football thing every day for goodness sake. Wow.

That little passage of play looked much better. Fletcher finall got on the ball and played the little ball forward. They'd kill these guys if they did that more often.

Another crazy long ball from the centre back 

Good stuff. This is going to blow up big time when we lose today, and fail to score again. Great job guys. There will be no hiding place for this buffoon.

The roles need to be defined really, Mata doesn't seem to have a clue what his role in the team is.

 

The system isn't helping anyone either, even if you ignore the fact the defenders they have are not very good.

Seriously the space the defenders have in front of them to just drive into, and then play a short pass to Mata or Di Maria who are in dangerous positions, and they're terrified to do so. They just slow down, and then start passing sideways or backwards before ultimately hoofing it. Awful to watch.

This system definitely needs at least two centre backs who are confident using the ball, be it dribbling with it, or passing it. It's painful watching the current crop in this system.

Just watching the highlights, the Blackett kid is so bad 

It hasn't really been pointed out I don't think, but virtually all of MU problems with adapting to a 3-5-2 are because British players are so technically poor and thick to go with it.

The three at the back today are so bad with the ball it's actually making me cringe, and Fletcher is just absent. Crazy how bad they are, it really is.

If Herrera is playing in Fletcher's position today they would look so much more threatening, as he would be able to get on the ball and get it to the forward players quickly, and to their feet.

They're in big trouble as far as centre backs go, because none of those guys want to do anything with the ball. Rojo will be more suited, but they'll need at least one more who is comfortable with the ball.

The potential for this Man U team going forward is phenomenal. The big problem is that the three centre backs are uncomfortable on the ball, and are unable to pass it. Compounding that is the fact that Fletcher is ridiculously bad at getting in position to receive the ball from the back three, in order to then get the ball to the forward players.

Just watch Fletcher when the three centre backs have the ball, it's absolutely ridiculous. It really doesn't help because the three Man U centre backs are embarrassingly bad with the ball. Blackett just wants to hit it long. He look slike he can barely dribble the ball when he's on it, and as soon as anyone comes near him he hoofs it or goes backwards. He's a black Dummett.

We really have to get hammered tomorrow at this point. I can't take much more of this.

What happened to Capoue, Is he injured or just not fancied?

Pochettino wants two DMs as he had with Schneider and Wanyama at Southampton.

Think Bentaleb will drop to the bench now.

:lol:

Some of the more trusted Liverpool ITK (I know, it's an AIDS term) saying he didn't test his medical....rather failed his drug test. 

 

Be interesting to see how it goes if he has one for Chelsea. Hope he's chatting s****.

That would make a lot of sense actually. What an idiot if true.

Monaco say that Falcao can go out on loan for 12million Euros with no permanent clause

Football is going mad. So why are they loaning him out if he's going to be going back there?
