Some of those were picked out of a hat.

8 out of the 11 are playing in non preferred positions.

I've always rated Mike Dean

Nailed on pen for both teams. Fellaini a liability as ever, nice assist though.

[david3103]

Rooney reminds us all that he is a quality player.

Encouraging in it's way, but a lot of simple passes didn't complete and better teams than Newcastle will punish that even more.

Liverpool next. Bring it on.

Funny to see all the people in Twitter saying they'd rather lose an entertaining game than win a dull 1-0 complaining tonight.

I'd take a dull 1-0 on Sunday. In principle anyway.

we knew.


Man Utd under Moyes (£60m spent) - 40 points in 23 games. Man Utd under LVG (£250m spent) - 37 points in 23 games.


so, serious questions not meant to troll

- what do you want to see happen next and when?

- would possibly missing the 2016-17 champions league be a big driver in any managerial decision you make?

- what three "easy wins" are there in tactics, team selection, approach etc that could see you create more chances for the remainder of the season (assuming giggs caretakes or mourinho is appointed, the answers may be different(

thanks

"The players are bored, fans are bored, everyone's bored. You look across at the bench and Van Gaal looks bored as well." Scholes yesterday on BT Sport

without changing manager, what are the tactical solutions to this, if ineed they are needed?

Adapting tactics to the opposition would be a start. We play the same formation vs everyone. Playing 2 defensive mids, 2 number 10's and no wingers vs a team that is going to come and put 11 men behind the ball is just asking for what happened on Saturday. The rigidity in formation is killing the team.

Fellaini and Schnerderlin started again, at home to Southampton, who are playing 4-5-1, like every other team that shows up to OT. Just drop Fellaini, drop Herrera back into centre mid then play any combo of Rooney, Martial, Depay, Lingard, Pereira, Januzaj as the front 4. LVG has nothing to lose, performances can't get any worse and he still won't change formation. Having all the quick fullbacks/wingers out at once is a huge blow, and isn't helping the football.

Really don't think we're going to change manager before the summer at least. No one at United likes Mourinho and the next manager appointment is so huge and don't think they want to rush it.

This is probably the lowest the club has been since I've been alive, but we're only 5 points behind a champions league place (which is Spurs and they'll do a Spurs like they always do), 10 points off top (which is Arsenal who'll do an Arsenal like they always do) and still ahead of Liverpool so can't really complain that much.

I'll start to panic when we appoint Pochettino and sign Delle Ali and Kane for £120m.
