    whats the formation and set up... confused:confused:

    Either

    DDG
    Jones---Carrick
    Rojo
    Valencia
    Blind
    Fellaini
    Di Maria

    Januzaj

    Falcao
    Wilson

    Or

    DDG
    Valencia----Jones----Rojo
    Blind
    Carrick
    Fellaini
    Di Maria
    Januzaj

    Falcao
    Wilson


    I think it'll be the second one, or at least I hope it is.

    Bad feeling its going to be 352 with januazi playing left wing back. Happy with the team otherwise except how is ander not playing


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 19,889 ✭✭✭✭The Moldy Gowl


    Di Maria sweeper to utilise his pace?

    Would really have liked valdes to start.


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


    Disappointed to see Herrera on the bench.

    Januzaj left wing back no doubt

    I hope Cambridge take it easy on us


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    No Victor Valdes :confused: why was he signed? Keepers get tired too. De Gea has played every game this season.

    Keepers don't get tired

    They really don't tbh, not physically anyway.

    He's 24 and the club has no european football this season. Some managers just don't rotate keepers, although I suspect that LVG may not be playing Valdes to prove the media wrong going on what he said about it in his presser.

    Some reports emerging from Austria saying we've agreed a fee for Dragovic. Big ass centre back with a cool name.

    Hey you can dress it up anyway you want but you are arguing dishonestly. You seem to enjoy doing this and will endlessly waffle on so post this response I'm off, I don't have the time or inclination to get bogged down in it.

    And now you finish with an ad hominem. Well played.

    Me too, all of them have been either on the bench for some time, or injured.
    So no worry of burn out or fatigue.
    And Rooney gets a night off.

    BACK FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUR!

    €20 million for him is the rumour.

    Thank you, thought you of all people would appreciate it given its an homage to your own inimitable style.

    Jones on corners again. Lol.

    Love the pace this side offers

    Has LVG said why he asks Jones too take them..?

    Seems that the lads had a corner taking contest after training....Jones was legendary at them...made poor Angel start to cry with his exquisite touch.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,902 ✭✭✭MagicIRL


    Rojo is a beast.

    If you think he wouldn't have signed mata as he is not a lvg player there's no way kagawa would have been played either

    Kagawa is faster and I think that would appeal to LVG.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,134 ✭✭✭✭Rayne Wooney


    Poor selection and tactics from Van Gaal again it must be said

    Cambridge look the better team

    He had his chance, wasn't good enough and was sold for 8m


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 17,638 ✭✭✭✭bangkok


    Blind very disappointing first half, so many times he had the chance to cross but didn't. Needs to up his game and take a chance falcao making runs for nothing.

    Rvp on for Wilson as well I hope


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,858 ✭✭✭Manutd_4life


    The whole team just isn't playing right. Now that we have a back 4 the forwards and midfielders can't pick out passes and run at the defenders. And when there is space (januzaj) they take too long to make a decision and end up playing the ball backwards. need to start playing quick one touch and move football


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,867 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    The only reason why watching Januzaj play isn't 100% aggravating is because you can derive the tiniest sliver of enjoyment from shouting "GO YOURSELF" at the TV every time he gets the ball.


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


    The Herrera situation is beyond baffling at this stage. Our best all round midfielder and can't get a game.

    Getting absolutely nothing from the mid field. Only time fellani has been mentioned is for fouling and getting yellow carded.
