Absolutely fcking sick of watching Rooney's hollywood crossfield bollox For a team that passes sideways to death, we are fcking **** at passing. Not a single pass forward is finding its man. This is shocking. If Van Gaal was around in the second world war he'd have surrendered on the sniff of a german crossing into holland. Either that or run backwards and sideways.
Smalling wins the ball just outside his area, runs forward, past the half way line, approaching the final third... and he has one player with him. The other 8 United players are still in their own half.
sums up all our seasons .. he think we are mid table club scared of attacking ..and our downfall is goal difference with City
When you think that if we had scored the usual number of goals and the usual decent GD, we could have competed with City. We need decent attacking football and a bit of bravery at home. The extreme caution is just not United.
Chris smalling own goal denies de gea the golden glove He is probably booking his flight to Madrid as I type.
And that is why in every sense, he has failed in the league. And also why results aren't all that matter but also the performance.
1 point at home to Norwich (that's Norwich) would have sufficed. Oh well. On Saturday I have one of the great days to look forward to. Going to a cup final with my lad, a day I hope he enjoys and remembers long after Stan has gone to join the majority, is a big deal for Stan. He'll best enjoy and remember it, win lose or draw, if LVG lets them play. He won't though and Stan Jr will tell his kids about the boring, losing cup final his dad took him to. I'd start Young ahead of Lingard...
I am a little confused/torn here, like most I am blaming the dull football I have watched all season on van Gaal yet , in most of his last few interviews he has stated we need more fast attacking players and more goals. Is he holding us back or are the players just not performing as a team?
He has one tactic. Defend deep and when the opposition are almost as bored as the crowd give Robben the ball. Robben doesn't play for United. Hence Philosophy Fail.
Enjoy the day Stan, hope it turns out to be fantastic for little Stan. We are long overdue a cup win and a good celebration afterwards.
