Does anyone know what the philosophy is... clearly the players don't. . We really have limped all season.... horses have been shot for less. ...so frustrating.
Ruining weekends. .

I didn't say we were good today - I just said that it was our best performance in weeks.

I agree, but I also think we should go back to performing worse since it provides better results.

ATM Southamption, Spurs and Liverpool are playing an awful lot better then us - Top 4 now would be a BIG achievement for United.

Absolutely. Next two games against Sunderland and Newcastle are massive for us. 6 points or else it's bye bye champions league for another year imo.

It does really feel watching general play, that there is no means to an end with it. Look blunt going forward and constantly short and nervous at the back.

They already did that today. Any result for Southampton tomorrow and we're 5th.

I know. I meant they'll definitely be ahead of us at the end of the season.

Philosophy my ass

Ha yeah but our luck was always going to run out, we aren't playing next to near good enough to finish in the top 4 - we could be in free-fall when the big boys come calling.

Fakman87 · 21-02-2015 05:09PM

It was so ****ing easy for Swansea today. That's the hardest part to take.

I fear that point has already come, I would be surprised now if we were to sneak 4th - and that's the truth.

RobbingBandit · 21-02-2015 05:11PM

Can we sell the manager yet? £50m and LVG for Pep.

edgecutter · 21-02-2015 05:11PM

We had three shots on target today. Anyone who thinks we played well today is deluded.

I didn't think it was easy for them at all. They were on the ropes for most of the second half.

The commentators were saying that they couldn't see how Swansea could get back into the game. The only way I could see was a worldy or a counter. I was half right.

Quandary · 21-02-2015 05:14PM

Absolutely disastrous result and could really be a factor in our top 4 hopes. That being said, there were definite positives to be taken from that match. We have played far far worse and won when we didnt deserve it. Today, if our strikers managed to operate at even 50% and Di Maria managed to cross a ball we would have won that match.

I'd like to see us stick with that formation because IMO, it's playing players in their best positions(or close to it) and will pay off. We saw plenty of signs of how effective it could be today.

Thought Herrera was class today, and ironcially, Fellaini was too when he was getting balls into feet around the box.

We need to see a hell of a lot more from Shaw and Di Maria.

Ha I don't think anyone said that.

ElChe32 · 21-02-2015 05:16PM

I'd like to see Young start the next game. He's a hell of a lot more direct. Be it for Di Maria or Shaw.

rob316 · 21-02-2015 05:16PM

That's the double for Swansea this season.

Manutd_4life · 21-02-2015 05:18PM

It is absolutely catastrophically amazing how a team of such highly rated players with the likes of rooney, van persie, mata, di maria, de gea etc can't beat the likes of ****ing Swansea City TWICE IN THE SAME SEASON.

I thought we would comfortably get 4th but after today when we had a very strong and positive line up but still can't produce good football, I will be over the moon if we get 4th place.

edgecutter · 21-02-2015 05:18PM

Again I just can't believe that we didn't move Di Maria and Young onto the wings. We looked dangerous with crosses and the overlapping of fullbacks could have been the difference.

Playing the three in the middle just doesn't work, whether that is LVG's doing or we don't have the players. We played much better against Preston and Burnley with 4-4-2.

The fact that Fellani is uniteds biggest threat at the moment is a sign of the massive problems there right now. He's a lump, a useful lump...

If you really believe that's what he is then you haven't got a clue.

You are grasping at straws. . We have been poor all season.. never got going... limping along.. We look toothless up front. ... panic stations at the back.. midfield..... that's a fcking 6 year saga

problem is will De Gea put up with this crap much longer

irishfeen · 21-02-2015 05:18PM

One word on Young... only player who came away who could hold his head up high. First name on team sheet v Sunderland for me.

What match were you watching...Fellaini was atrocious did nothing
Shaw created our goal with a run down the left

Is it bad that I hope RVP has picked up another injury?

No not at all. Despite it not going to really affect anything i guess i wouldn't mind it.

Don't know why I feel I have to look at the match threads...unbelievable what some of them get away with that I've seen people being permabanned for similar.

I want to agree, but this guy playing for the full 90 mins made no sense.

If your opinion of Fellainis performance is that extreme then im not going to get into a discussion about it with you. Suffice to say I strongly disagree with you based on what I watched today.

As for Shaw - apart from that run he was very poor.

This doesn't deal with my point at all. I'll make myself clearer. In this particular match today, we were all over Swansea in the second half and we were the safe money to go on and win that game until their goal. Nothing about the rest of our games, nothing about other results. This specific match.

On the topic of De Gea, I know that it's anathema to most to criticise him but does anybody think that a lot of our struggles with crosses and corners come from him not claiming balls in and around the 6 yard area. I'd love to seee him clear house and claim a ball early on to stop players from getting brave with their crosses.

TBF, there are a few regulars in here that start the same crap in other match threads, its nature of the beast and tbh, Id be happy to see both sets of supporters banned when either start the obvious winding up.

Childish and tiresome.
