You missed 352
Which have we used, please give players for each formation. I am trying to learn here![]()
Your fake 352 was really a 532

Except we do it with style.And now Brendan stumbled into the same system![]()

Scholes is being a bit of a prick really. I know neville has to stand up and give it but you know he's still in the salford camp which is fine.... but f me Scholes is so bitter about him not having a coaching job or something cos he's not a good word to say about utd it seems...
however i didn't think that was any sort of melt by van gaal
this i found funny
Long-ball Manchester United?

the salford bbc are so desperate to show van gaal is not a lumper that have compared to moyes and showed bizarrely that ferguson's side lumped it long more than moyes.
how pointless is that....................
i mean seriously.... moyes team failed for a reason... no attacking play.... sideways and back passing then a hoof.. ferguson's side won the freaking league! (woeful standard of course) but van gaal is sort of just as good i suppose this stuff says.
I don't want to get caught up in the current argument, but I think this is an interesting point.
You see, I'm not convinced that it is only points that matter. Of course if they win you a trophy you'll be happy to win it, but surely fans want their team to play well and be entertaining to watch, otherwise what's the point? It then comes down to bragging rights over rivals rather than a serious love of the game.
I feel the same when people say diving and cheating are acceptable because it's only winning that counts. I just don't agree with that and never will.
Being happy at winning even though you've played badly should have more to do with relief than pride.
Agreed, and the argument that "playing badly and winning is better than playing well and losing" is such bollox, why can't you do both?? But some ppl are also too thick to realise that playing sh1t is not the same as being a sh1t team. The league doesn't lie and however badly our performances are we have enough quality to get results.
On the point of diving, that's all very well, but until fans start picking up their own players on it there's no point criticising others or expecting things to change.
You can do both but playing badly and winning is always preferable to playing well and losing.
Until you get points for performances, its unlikely to ever change.
Its a good foundation to have. The difference between United, City chelsea and the rest of the league. Being tge winner despite not always being the better side.
Hahahahaha dream on ffs.One of the above yoonited fans is happy to let his club's cavalier attacking traditions die for the sake of results, it was that very thing that attracted those that have supported that club for decades.
Just like yoonited's style of play attracted the majority of its support it can also drive them away.
And Treble nobody said the yoonited team were ****e, weve said the tactics of the flawed genius are ****e and that the team has been playing ****e because of it, big difference there mate.

Hahahahaha dream on ffs.
The wet dream of a kopite that lad![]()
That only applies if you don't have the players to play better though. I didn't like it under Fergie during the last couple of years but I could understand it with the lack of creativity in midfield. But not with LVG when he has the likes of Herrera, Di Maria and Mata. Then it becomes a poor argument I'm afraid. There's no reason why we can't play well and be winning.
Trying to suggest that United's fanbase is going to crumble off the back of winning games in a scrappy manner this season is absolutely preposterousPlease explain your assertion that lad?
Which parts are untrue?

Theres every reason and you know full well what it is. Fergie had the strongest defence around so risk taking was a much easier choice. You knew if it went wrong rio and vidic would be waiting behind to clean up.
If the midfield messes up now, there may as well be nothing between the opposition and de gea.
So while Fegie had no midfield the risks were lower. van Gaal and every United fan have seen the risks. We know what happens when it goes wrong.
