Please tell me our players were not getting jeered at Old Trafford tonight

I can neither confirm nor deny.

Be curious for many different reasons to hear what Van Gaal has to say in his post match interview been an interesting day!

NoviGlitzko · 12-08-2014 08:27PM

Fellani had a cracking game when he came on. Full of energy and got in their face. No reason he should leave after seeing that.

I hope Fellaini stays, there, I said it.

I don't mind if he stays but not as a starter and more as a squad player, he has great potential to enforce a different option mainly when we're chasing a game. Hes better than most at that

Adamocovic · 12-08-2014 08:27PM

Good to keep the momentum up so close to the start. I'd say VG won't be too impressed with the performance though.

Jones looking very solid and Young seems to be adapting well.

Delighted to see Fellaini score. The ironic cheering was disgraceful.

Can't wait for the season to start. Hopefully we can get a good run going!

ShooterSF · 12-08-2014 08:27PM

Pro: When is the last time United got that trademark last minute winner?

Fellaini may not be good enough for United but it's absolutely pathetic to treat him like that.

Have to agree, want him to gone. But some fans were an absolute disgrace. Someone posted they are probably fans that don't go, or won't be at season games. And I suspect this myself, because they were fecking idiots.

edgecutter · 12-08-2014 08:28PM

Disgraceful from the fans towards fellani, I don't want him here either, but that's no way to go about it. If anything TC23 should be out before him.

lordgoat · 12-08-2014 08:28PM

I assumed the crowd were saying shooootttt rather than booing, said it to DDG at one stage, more a bit of craic as it was a pretty dull game?

Could be completely wrong though...

Blackett cracker of a game. Well played son, i'm improving my opinion of him every match.

There are two schools of thought with regard to booing "one of our own", probably best illustrated by reference to David Moyes.

Some people's view was "he is manager of Manchester United and I will stick by him no matter what".

Some other people's view (my own included) was that he was totally out of his depth and had to go. At Old Trafford, I would have booed David Moyes, chanted "Moyes out" and sung "Cum on Feel the Noize...Sack David Moyes". I would have chipped in towards the £800 to send that plane over Old Trafford if asked. Every day that man spent at Old Trafford was an extra day where we wouldn't be chasing our 6th European Cup.

My feelings regarding Fellaini are broadly similar...he is totally out of his depth and should be cashiered out.

Does a "real" fan laud anyone who wears the jersey or insist on the best for their club? I consider myself a Manchester United fanatic, but I have nothing but contempt for (say) Fellaini, Moyes and Barthez to name but a few.

You'd fit in well with the rest of the muppets at the match tonight.

NeVeR · 12-08-2014 08:29PM

From listening to it it sounded like cheering.. but if he held onto the ball for more then 3 to 4 seconds it went into jeering....

Why are they ( if they are that is ) jeering him in the 1st place ? .. anything to do with the fact he was Moyes only signing and didn't play well last season .. or is it something else he's done over the summer ? -- Did he upset England at all ?

keane2097 · 12-08-2014 08:30PM

Was Rooney that bad? Was only half watching but seemed to be picking up some ball and linking up with the young lad on the left well.

Quandary · 12-08-2014 08:30PM

Positives:
- Blackett, very composed and comfortable
- Jones was very good
- Smalling was solid
- Herrera was great, aside from a couple of misplaced passes.
- Fellaini played well when he came on
- Januzaj oozes class and he has a brilliant eye for a pass
- R James was decent
- Cleverley played alright

Negatives:
- Rooney was poor
- Chich was poor
- Mata didn't do a whole pile

I couldn't believe my ears to hear the "fans" jeering Fellaini:mad:

Fcuking disgrace.

You are completely wrong,

Anytime he picked up the ball no matter where on the pitch you could hear the noise increase with the jeering, I've never seen that from United fans and it was shocking behavior

I agree, I like this kid more and more every time I see him.

Ah come on based on a friendly against valencia, i think last seasons form should be taken into consideration and based on that he should be sold.

I am very annoyed at what I see as the mismanagement of our club. When Van Gaal was appointed, my expectation for this coming season was 4th at a minimum. But, secretly, I expected us to mount a title challenge because I fully expected someone like Van Gaal to quickly see through spoofers like Cleverley and Fellaini and to sign truly world class talent. That hasn't happened, so I'm decidely disenchanted. I see us being in a dogfight for 4th which could potentially go either way and that saddens me immensely. Van Gaal could be our Jose Mourinho or our Phil Scolari...at this stage I just don't know. But I am not a happy bunny.

But Larry your mate at jp Morgan will sort it
Have some patience
Vidal will sign today or tomorrow or Thursday or Friday....
Then everything will be ok..

the booing probably came from another part of the stadium and directed towards the people jeering it wouldnt be the first time its been done in OT (nani last year iirc)

1. I hope I never sit beside you at OT
2. Wow. That comment.

They weren't calling for him to shoot in his own half....it was sarcastic cheering, and if he held the ball for more than two seconds, it was whistles and boos.

thelad95 · 12-08-2014 08:32PM

Van Gaal brings on Fellaini who scores a last minute winner. Tactical genius! :pac:

advertsfox · 12-08-2014 08:32PM

Even though the woeful MUFC TV microphones are made of tinfoil and spit, they were definitely jeering at Fellaini - I hate to see that, especially at OT in our final game of a great pre season.

I have to disagree with this. I know it is just a matter of opinion but in my view if someone is representing the club I will support them. Now I'm not saying that everything they touch turns to gold, we can criticise them and say if we feel they're not good enough but to do so during a match I just find very disrespectful.

Getting behind the team/players when they are under performing will have a better effect than booing them in my mind.

He started OK, just didn't look interested the longer it went on. The usual sloppy passing when he goes into that mode.

I am sure fans normally sing a song to support a player, not whatever that was tonight.

v3ttel · 12-08-2014 08:33PM

Delighted to see Fellaini come on, do well, and get the winner.

The ironic cheering from the crowd was a complete disgrace. No place for that at Old Trafford. The lad can be a very decent player for us. Get behind him ffs. When a player is struggling they need support more than when they are doing well.

FutureGuy · 12-08-2014 08:34PM

As I said earlier in the month, everyone should be given a clean slate under Van Gaal.
