    Smalling has possibly been as bad as I've ever seen a player play for United.

    That's a very strange one taking off Shaw and Rafael and leaving mcnair and blackett as fullbacks

    Taking off Shaw and Rafa and then going 4 at the back makes no ****ing sense to me.

    Especially a back 4 in a diamond formation, where you rely on the full backs for width.

    Bizarre.

    Not sure what van Gaal is doing here. The teams use of the ball has been a disaster all season which is a direct result of 3 centre backs constantly trying to create attacks.

    Now we have four on the pitch with Fletcher...

    Because they're both returning from injury and he only wanted to give them 45 mins instead of risking a reoccurrence?

    They've both been involved in the last few games. Shaw played until midway through the 2nd half v Stole and 20 mins at Tottenham. Rafael has been fit for weeks.

    The worst thing about the substitutions is that only one of Fletcher, Smalling, Rooney and Wilson can come off.

    So he switches it up because of 3-5-2 not working and revert to 4-4-2
    He should have left them on for at least ten or 15 mins to see if they could produce a cross or two or at least run at the defenders
    Evans and Blackett are not going to do that well
    So the only way we can score now is through the middle, where fletcher and Rooney are doing **** all
    Here's hoping mata gets on the ball and di maria comes on later


    Chance should have been buried from yeovil we deserve to be loosing

    I can see it being Falcao to come off and it will probably be for an other defender.

    Evans nearly gifting Yeovil a goal with a flick on into the area,it's a mistake a game at this rate.

    Those subs were most definitely pre-determined and there was no flexibility with them.
