Dear Louis van Gaal,
It was a very sense of relief for me especially after you resume as Manchester United new manager but your decision to be using a unfamiliar formation is giving me a lot of head ache.
In the game against QPR,We need to switch out of the the 3-5-2. The fact that there have been like 5 or so matches this season in which you start with 3-5-2 but was force to switch out of it because the team is playing bad in it speaks volume to how it needs to go.
I have seen a couple United fans defend the use of the 3-5-2, using your argument that it provides "balance" and better defense, and I wonder if these people are watching the matches. I'm not trying to bash anyone since we are all United fans but are you people defending this formation watching the team play? Balance? Is balance what you call playing almost everybody out of position? Rooney in midfield and Di Maria as striker is balance? Is balance using a formation that prevent you from using the players (Hererra, Shaw, Falcao) that you spent millions on? Is balance what you call using a formation that exploit all of our CBs weakness? A formation that is requiring the CBs to have the ball on their feet so much that in some matches they have more possession than our attackers isn't balance.
Also, the ideal that the formation provide better defense is unfounded. We have allow just about the same amount of goals this year as we allow under Moyes 4-4-2 last year and we have a worst goal differential right now. Also, anyone watching the matches know our defensive record is decieving. The only reason we haven't allow more goal is De Gea. He is on one of the best goalkeeping form ever. His form right is better than Van dar Ser when he set the record.
How many times have we seen one of our CBs turn the ball over because the 3-5-2 requires them
to have the ball on their feet and give the opposing player a goal scoring opportunity only to have De Gea come up with a big save? Uncountable. How many times have we seen our CBs been out of position in 3-5-2 formation because they don't know how to play in it only to be save by De Gea making a big save? Uncountable? Any balance or defense solidarity
that anyone think the 3-5-2 provide is perceived and far from reality.


Truly yours.

And you think that man give a f bout what u wrote

Don't blame LVG, it's old age dat us worrying him. When he was appointed as the coach, I was expecting something like playing attacking football but the reverse had been the case so far. To me, he has the same mindset with Moyes; being conservative. 3-5-2 Is a defensive formation, and anytime i watched our lineup and see it, I just gave up. I hope he can see it dat it's not working. #one united

I'm beginning to hate dis LVG of a man....
He seems too arrogant....Anyways
#United

lol...weldone Op u try!


And the board still want to give a 100+ million to spent on players if what is in the news is to go by.

Unite only try to keep the ball, win possession, defend recklessly and blunt in attack.

United fans tell Van Gaal honeymoon is over, time to bring reality and objectives.

Man United needs to spend money now to replace some weak defensive and mid field payers!
