You missed 352

Which have we used, please give players for each formation. I am trying to learn here

 

Your fake 352 was really a 532

 

And now Brendan stumbled into the same system

 

Except we do it with style.

 

Scholes as been speaking out since retiring as a player. I'm convinced the reason we hardly heard from him and he was regarded as a very quiet player is because Fergie knew he was a nob so kept him on a very short leash

 

You missed 505

 

Always wanted to use 'the wall' formation which is self-explanatory and set up in front of the goalie like so and contracts and expands as necessary to intercept the ball / stop the opposition

Agreed, and the argument that "playing badly and winning is better than playing well and losing" is such bollox, why can't you do both?? But some ppl are also too thick to realise that playing sh1t is not the same as being a sh1t team. The league doesn't lie and however badly our performances are we have enough quality to get results.
On the point of diving, that's all very well, but until fans start picking up their own players on it there's no point criticising others or expecting things to change.

 

You can do both but playing badly and winning is always preferable to playing well and losing.

Until you get points for performances, its unlikely to ever change.

Its a good foundation to have. The difference between United, City chelsea and the rest of the league. Being tge winner despite not always being the better side.

 

That only applies if you don't have the players to play better though. I didn't like it under Fergie during the last couple of years but I could understand it with the lack of creativity in midfield. But not with LVG when he has the likes of Herrera, Di Maria and Mata. Then it becomes a poor argument I'm afraid. There's no reason why we can't play well and be winning.

 

One of the above yoonited fans is happy to let his club's cavalier attacking traditions die for the sake of results, it was that very thing that attracted those that have supported that club for decades.
Just like yoonited's style of play attracted the majority of its support it can also drive them away.

And Treble nobody said the yoonited team were ****e, weve said the tactics of the flawed genius are ****e and that the team has been playing ****e because of it, big difference there mate.

 

Hahahahaha dream on ffs.

The wet dream of a kopite that lad

 

Please explain your assertion that lad?

Which parts are untrue?

 

Theres every reason and you know full well what it is. Fergie had the strongest defence around so risk taking was a much easier choice. You knew if it went wrong rio and vidic would be waiting behind to clean up.

If the midfield messes up now, there may as well be nothing between the opposition and de gea.

So while Fegie had no midfield the risks were lower. van Gaal and every United fan have seen the risks. We know what happens when it goes wrong.

 

Trying to suggest that United's fanbase is going to crumble off the back of winning games in a scrappy manner this season is absolutely preposterous

 

When you have little or no clue what you are talking about, its better to say nothing at all.

We've been playing aesthetically poor football for years. Under various managers and against all kinds of opposition.

Its nothing new. The difference between Fergie, van Gaal and Moyes is two of them know how to win regardless of the performance while the other had us giving up in every game we went 1 down in.

Anyone who enjoys performance over result is a very strange person. The whole idea of football flies right over their head.

 

These same clowns are the ones who say our 2013 title (20th title for you Liverpool fans) was the worst ever because we played rubbish football and were bailed put by RvP.

 

How does that apply? We played some poor football in Fergie's last couple of seasons bcos of a poor midfield. We have a much better midfield now and are playing worse.

 

"This season"?

Stop making things up because you know I never said that, it was yoonited's style of play that attracted the masses, if they play crap for an extended length of time they could lose support.
