At least the other two sides are drawing. If we can somehow turn this around, we have a real chance of topping the group? Personally, I'd just put Martial up top, bring on Mata and Darmian. Take off Valencia and Rooney.
Fellaini on for Schweinsteiger. I think that will lead to a lot of stop/start with the fouls this ref will keep giving. Hope LVG has made the right call here.
Completely agree In the other thread you're having a go at me for predicting Man Utd won't compete under Van Gaal, but it's things like this (which has been going on for almost all of Van Gaal's tenure) that makes me say it
Rooney is so fcking 5hit. If any other player gave the ball away as much as him, he'd never wear a United shirt again. His body language stinks. Can't stand a player feeling sorry for himself and this guy has been like that for 2 months.
Astro, I'll assume you're not on the wum and agree. I've said as much in the past. But your reasoning in the other thread was different. Money's got little to do with it. The players we've bought aren't bad players. The 100s of millions haven't been spent poorly. It is just what LVG is doing with them, that can be criticised. If they were 5hit I might be more understanding, but they're not. Which is why I question LVG ever being able to win anything.
I'm annoyed. Mainly because it's only 1-0 and you'll probably get some 'Utd Luck'. If it gets to 2-0 I won't be as annoyed, probably slightly relaxed
The art of football according to Antonio Valencia: Plan A: Run 10 yards forward, turn around and pass 10 yards back. Plan B: Run 10 yards forward, cut inside and cross it aimlessly to oppo's defenders.
