    Joke system, really worrying for United fans that a manager of his caliber can't see such an obvious hole in the team. We don't have good enough CBs to play from the back and still Van Gaam plays a system that depends on CBs to carry the ball forward.

    What's Coleman in Irish?

    It wasn't funny.
    It wasn't supposed to be I don't think, he was stating a fact?

    Indeed. It was just something I noticed there and with all the Coleman talk lately.............

    How is it a fact? Coleman is something different in Irish.
    So it is Seamus Ó Colmáin

    The game is as almost unimaginably bad so far.

    Ffs everyone bar Magimarker knew what he meant. I dunno what the big deal is and why people are being so pedantic.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,741 ✭✭✭Hococop


    Awful for the first half 3-5-2 is really not working


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 533 ✭✭✭SheldonC17


    Falcao will need to improve if we are going to justify forking out 40 million for him. His hold up play as not been up to standard at all! Shaw also disappointing so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,521 ✭✭✭Giggsy11


    Such a painful match to watch. Losing hope with every passing week. Hopefully we switch to back 4 in the second half.

    Rafael and Shaw are full backs not sure what Van Gaal is trying to prove here with 3-5-2 system.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    United are seriously boring to watch.

    3 awkward centre backs are playing every week, regardless of the personnel. There is no CB at the club that is comfortable on the ball, it looks like amateur stuff at times back there.

    I'm the same. Evwrytime I see 3cbs on the teamsheet I die a bit inside.

    We have the players to run riot in a 442 diamond or even 451 or 433. 5 at the back is not working


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,073 ✭✭✭irishfeen


    This 3 at the back thing really is utter s.hite .. Brutal stuff here.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Good news, we've gone to 4 at the back.

    Bad news, we've taken off both full backs to do so.

    For the umpteenth time this season, our biggest issue seems to be on the sidelines.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston

    Predictably childish response from you.

    For the players that we have, United do play an unattractive, boring brand of football. You can say it's the players adapting to a new manager or whatever but highlighting our poor style of play doesn't mean I want to go off and watch Madrid.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,885 ✭✭✭SherlockWatson


    Sublime finish.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,741 ✭✭✭Hococop


    Yes!

    This is poison! Looking at this game, barring injuries Fletcher is finished with United, McNair really is not deserving of a place in the team, poor footballer so is never gonna fit into LVGs system. For all the hype about Wilson he is yet to do anything in the first team to warrant continued selection. I like the kid from what I've seen in the reserves over the years but needs to start delivering.

    Oh and what a hit by Herrera!!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,408 ✭✭✭✭J. Marston


    Some hit on the turn.

    Of course it was. Sure I am only 10.


    Because Yeovil and utd was going to be an exciting game.

    The amount of hysteria.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,199 ✭✭✭✭bucketybuck


    Because Yeovil and utd was going to be an exciting game.

    Yeovil and Utd should have been a walk in the park, and no amount of FA cup magic bullshit changes that in the slightest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,786 ✭✭✭Thepoet85


    Has to be the end of 352. If we can't make it work against Yeovil then it's not gonna happen imo.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 31,170 Mod ✭✭✭✭Insect Overlord


    Was there any update on Blind's injury recently?


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 42,995 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lord TSC


    I really hate Rooney in midfield. He's either amazing (1 in 4 games) or utterly toxic. He looked utterly bored.

    DiMaria was class when he came on, clearing off the line AND scoring a goal. Herrera's goal was stunning.

    Fletcher is gone. Smalling was way too nervous early on.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,241 ✭✭✭Vic Vinegar


    Awful performance really, two outstanding goals though. Herrera's was amazing technique.


  • Posts: 27,583 ✭✭✭✭ Elliott Ugly Owl


    3-5-2 must go in the January sales

    I wish Di Maria would take the ball around the keeper in those situations. That chip finish is 7 out of 10 at best.
