    433 today with Blind Herrera Rooney, di Maria falcao Young...

    Read rumour yesterday that lvg was planning on switching to 433 lets see sure I have never been able predict an lvg lineup yet :)

    LVG's line ups are almost as hard to predict as Fergies was.

    With the way out season has been going I wouldn't be surprised to see LVG roll Van Persie out the tunnel in a wheelchair and stick him upfront. We'd probably still get the same amount of movement :pac:

    Surely he'll start Carrick today? Hopefully not a Herreras expense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 17,865 ✭✭✭✭keane2097


    Is this some kind of inane joke? Or do you just struggle to read for comprehension?

    There were a serious of posts based on the massive strawman that criticism of LVG also somehow means LVG was the worst coach in the world who never played good football and didn't like to play good football. Except that nobody had said that, and Kryogens original point was a reply to something nobody had said.

    Kryogen's post was like something he really wanted to say despite the fact it made no sense in terms of this thread, where people pointing out that we have been performing poorly does not actually equal people saying LVG doesn't like good football.

    And now Keane comes in with the usual chip on his shoulder to accuse me of a strawman. I really would prefer he figure out the ignore button, but I suspect I hope for too much.

    I was super drunk, so I have no recollection of why I posted that.

    Last week a few people were talking about how DDG might be at fault for some poor defending because of not coming for crosses. I re-watched the highlights of the Swansea game there and I think they covered all the crosses that caused trouble, four altgether. For all the crosses I saw, imo he was right to not come for them. They were all either headed, or should have been headed before they came into an area where you'd want him to be claiming them.

    I didn't look back at any of the previous games so I don't know if he was at fault in them, I know people weren't just talking about the Swansea game.

    De Gea, Valencia, Smalling, Evans, Rojo, Blind, Herrera, Young, Di Maria, Rooney, Falcao. #mufclive


    If we don't win I'll eat a bag of mouldy turds.

    De Gea

    Valencia Smalling Evans Rojo

    Blind

    Herrera Rooney

    Di Maria
    Young

    Falcao

    Looks 4-3-3 to me, or 4-2-3-1


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,492 ✭✭✭Quandary


    It's hard to tell how we will line out. I don't really care as long as Rooney is up front or just off Falcao and it's not 3 at the back.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 23,140 ✭✭✭✭TheDoc


    Evans at the back instantly makes me nervous.

    No mata again reaks of him being sold in the summer. Herrera starting a good sign. Shaw ommited from squad with no injury. Don't think Van Gaal is overly impressed with him.

    It's my mothers birthday today. She's 75. She's a Utd supporter. Along with my wife and my sister(who is also a Utd fan) we are bringing her out for lunch before heading back to her house to watch the Utd match.

    Now I am in no way a spiritual man but there is no way, for the day that's in it, that Utd won't win.

    Nothing is going to spoil my mothers birthday today.

    Happy Birthday Mammy Adox,

    It's me own birthday today as well lads, with the 2 birthdays there just has to be a win!

    Farewell Mata. It's not you, it's us.

    Well, it's kinda you but mostly us.

    Happy Birthday to your mother.

    There was suppose to be United match on my birthday in April against City but the date was changed for the match...

    LVG fired if we lose :P

    btw I think Mike Phelan should have been brought back as the assistant manager instead of Giggs who has very little experience.

    It would make sense, sometimes sense seems to be in short supply though.

    Haha true too but I'm staying positive win for us today and results go our way in games later and tomorrow we could have bit of breathing space again.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,709 ✭✭✭✭Cantona's Collars


    Poyet sees that Evans is playing and his tactic becomes hit long balls towards him as he'll just allow the ball over his head and look on despairingly as a Sunderland attacker leaves him in his wake,rinse and repeat.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,492 ✭✭✭Quandary


    So you do care

    Im happy as long as its not 3 at the back and/or Rooney in midfield. Aside from that I'll be pretty happy with most line ups.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,825 ✭✭✭Timmyctc


    We need a 20 goal striker. LvG plays our only player in the team to get 20+ goals in MF. Logic.

    People can try to defend him by mentioning assists or blaming the "philosophy" but Di Maria is poison.
