What he also failed to mention was the passage of play leading up to that corner for their second goal. The mazy run from their half by one of their players, while Fellaini our CM stalwart just stood and watched was par excellence.
It was asked. He didn't look happy. I suspect that will be addressed in the drawing room. And rightly so.
I can't believe LVG is not pissing the league after his spending. No outstanding sides: you are really missing the boat
LVG couldn't work for a fast food company. The burger would be passed up and down the line for far too long.
For someone who can't hack it he's doing better than most isn't he? Current form is very poor though and the whole team, manager and staff included need to sort it out.
I know the only way to stop people who press you and harass you is players who have technical ability, strength, one touch ability, football brain and work rate to move with the one touch football. Fellaini has strength (good start).
If you say so. I guess. I would blame the team personally, though offset by so many injuries its always goingbto be a challenge. One they weren't up for.
Martial and Memphis played well first half too. Martial looked dangerous and capable of making something happen. Elsewhere it wasn't great though and those 3 faded away second half (obv Fellaini was subbed). The young defenders out in a typical young players performance. Very inconsistent, lacking in the cohesion we see with the usual defence. Bournemouth realised this and took advantage. Sure, Jones could have started and maybe Schneiderlin butbthats 2 unfit players or 2 fully fit youngsters. Hardly a mad call was it?
I am quite happy with the way the two full backs played, they have been thrown into the first team in difficult circumstances and have performed ok. McNair has gone backwards from last season and I would have preferred Blackett to get a chance if Jones was going to be on the bench. Mata has been woeful for the past few games and is obviously missing his link with Herrera, Memphis is getting better again (slowly), Martial is just a bit inconsistent. Midfield was poor today, Carrick doesn't have the legs to do it on his own anymore and Fellaini is no great help there. We still had enough on the field to win that game today but too few showed any real fight.
