    I feel the players have lost interest in what he trying to make them do, its just not working he hasn't bought correctly and trying to make them play a system the players are not comfortable with, you can see it they don't look relaxed to play just awkward and tense.

    Oh he made the wrong call today bit you would have applauded it no doubt. Taking out best player off, leaving Mata on. Terrible call and really made no sense.

    Top manager? Maybe in the past but he knows nothing about new generation football.

    Not a ****ing surprise. I said a draw would have been a good result but with the whole team decimated with injuries, suspensions etc, it went to plan.

    The start could be similar. But when it went 1-1 I think you would have gone on to thrash them tbf <ok>

    I don't even know what to say. What is van gaal's filosopheeee? Keeping the ball? Let's be sincere, we are only able to keep the ball against teams that sit behind. Against attacking teams we are exposed. Evident against arsenal, Wolfsburg home and away and today against Bournemouth. With van gaal it's only going to get worse because teams now know they don't have to sit back against us.

    Don't think he's lost the dressing room. We've lost any cohesion though.

    Seeing the calamity that is our defence after so much work getting it tk the best standard in the league, is gutting. The attack managed 55 minutes today before conking out into nothing.

    Credit to Bournemouth though, Chelsea and us in a week. Stuff dreams are made of.

    As well as not picking Schneiderlin and Jones because that would go against the Feelossofee and not either starting or bringing on Young. Three experienced players who watched an inexperienced team get torn to shreds at times. Oh and playing Powell up front, a position I doubt he's played very often. It was another shambolic managerial performance. The entire world, apart from you, can see that.

    The thing is UIR nothing has changed from last year, under Fergie no team ever out did them for work rate, now any team that are busy, work hard, put themselves about and get in their faces the players don't want to know. The first thing ever you have to do to win a game of football is win the battle then your quality shows through.
    He should of bought Young on instead of Jones shot Depay alongside Martial and Young on the left dropped Carrick a bit further back and went for it, there was only 5 mins left for god sake. There is only so many times you can bang your head at the brick well before you knock yourself out.

    Yep the excuses were certainly flying in before the game. Showed faith in the manager there. Or perhaps the bravado and back slapping is just a veneer?

    Schneider Schneiderlin isn't fit, nor is Jones. They were on the bench because we have to have 18 players in the squad. Jones is further ahead as he played a short period in the u21s but lacks match fitness.

    We cannot afford to risk more injuries, especially in defence. I wish they had played though, its easy for us to say.
