It was a repeat of Mata in the previous window.

Step 1. Make big money signing as statement of intent (overpay as investment).
Step 2. Attract top class players to improve the squad (recover Step 1 investment).
Step 3. Forget to do Step 2.

Mata has been good when he has played, we all want him to play,Di maria has been poor
 
Top top player. Needed to work on his work rate and fitness, he did it. Needed to improve his shooting, he's seems to have do this too. Just needs to work on his consistency now.
 
He's a good player but the fee was excessive considering he couldn't even get a game at Chelsea.

the main issue with Mata is that he is just too slow.

Di maria is blessed with pace.

The issue i see if van gaal has tried but cannot find a means to get players into a team that works.

EG. you have rooney... as captain but his best position is no 10. Van gaal seems to want di maria there but seeing he's muck at it he's out on wing again. don't worry though quality will shine through. Ozil was absolute muck second half of last year for arsenal but he is quality.


the real issue IMO is too many player in one positon and not enough in another.

eg... 50 left fulls, no CMs. 5 no 10s, van gaal can't make up his mind.

If utd could get the 3-4-3 working like LFc have they could be good. but so far he's not

the fans want 4-4-2... city just showed how 4-4-2 can be got at.

A 4-3-3 might work.

4-1-2-1-2 might work..
 
<laugh> I'd be surprised if you genuinely believe this. They may have been critical in the last 4-5 years as you've been ****e but they have always been very very pro Liverpool and I'm not gonna blame them as they are club legends, if Le Tissier was on the panel it would be painfully pro Saints. To suggest that Lawrensen and Hansen are anti pool is nonsense as is suggesting that the BBC is too. Liverpool have a massive following and they like every other sports programme channel play to there audience. These channels are also very pro Man Utd because of there massive following but you don't hear them moaning about faux conspiracies as I'm sure the majority of their fans understand this and they also do not have a " we are always the victims " complex. I see former pro Danny Murphy is now on the MOTD panel too singing the praises of Liverpool whenever he gets the chance as does Shearer for Saints.

Hope we can keep the lad - need to qualify for europe and start winning trophies.

Special talent and example of finding gems at great prices around Europe.
 
Right side really didn't auit him I felt as he ran too laterally and had not **** threat. The goal came of set piece which he didn't deliver all that well

In short... Why is he playing right side ? He's played left side all the time we went on our run. Has sterling said he wants left side?
 
No. In the last 5 games I've watched or listened to, we've scored when I go for a piss followed by a ***. It even happened in the united game when Sturridge scored <ok>
At least till the end of the season,would you mind drinking and smoking a little (or a lot) more. Thanks <hug>
