@SouthamptonFC thank you , you don't know how much you as a club mean to me , thank you so much I really appreciate it

Lovely lad, hope he makes a full recovery. Such a shame as he has looked back to his best this season as well for club and country.

[david3103]

Looked horrible, just hope that he can make a full recovery.

Schweinsteiger appeared to have a phantom fracture in sympathy.

there isn't much creativity in that side considering all the money that's been spent.

You could say the same about Liverpool Keith.

Oh I disagree with this David.

Plenty of creativity in the Liverpool squad (Coutinho, Lallana, Firmino, Allen) just seems like Brendan can't work out the best way to turn the talent in the squad into a decent team.

I think you could say the same about United Keith. There are creative players there, *(Depay, Rooney, Herrera, Mata) but the LVG philosophy appears to stifle much of it.

*an equivalence of talent in my view, but am prepared to debate it.

Moving on

What went wrong last night?

We didn't convert dominance into goals, again. We allowed ourselves to be caught by sucker punches when the LVG philosophy of possession possession possession fell down through some poor decision making, or poor passes.

Not at all impressed by Schweinsteiger, he seems to slow the game to walking pass every time he gets the ball. Indeed, there were times in the second half where he slowed it to a standstill. I know I am harking back to a golden age, but Scholes, Keane, Butt etc were dynamic both on and off the ball. Carrick looks forward and looks to move the ball quickly, Schweinsteiger just doesn't. Last night Smalling looked the most effective midfielder (had he scored when he burst through from the halfway line people would have been rapturous in their admiration).

Finally,
Get well soon Luke Shaw. Couple of pins and a few weeks on crutches and hopefully he'll be right as rain by the new year.

Yes, hate to see that happen to anyone.

Thoughts on Depay?

Looks about as 1 footed a player as I've ever seen. And I watch Adam Johnson every week. (When hes not in Nick) ((Nick means jail, not a 15 year old boy))

[BorntoBubble]

Basti I think has been great, he looks so solid and rarely gives the ball away.

He fits well within louis philosophy which I'm growing to live with, it may not be sexy but we are not going to have another fergie popping up anytime soon.

Look at Jose and the style of football he has played over the past few years. Boring but effective (this season apart)

Not been blown away yet and I still prefer young on the left, where I sit at old Trafford we get the left side first half attack and depay looks slow with only one move to get past a defender, I don't want to give the game away to much but he cuts back inside off from the left onto his right to cross/shoot, every single time!

I wouldn't call Depay, Rooney or Herrera particularly creative.

They are all excellent players when they are on form obviously, but they are unlikely to play the killer ball players like Scholes or Giggs used to.

It would be nice to have some more forward passes, they dont even have to be killer!

From what I saw last night he definitely had a few looks but never actually made the pass. Do you think that is just because he is cautious or team mates not offering in a space he wants to pass to?

I thought the same as BorntoBubble has been solid and rarely loses possession.
