You can say that again...

Even if Rvp wasn't contributing much, The Wilson sub was just ridiculous!!

I was expecting di Maria (even though he struggled) to come in for mata.

2 points dropped but fortunately, it has no effect on our position

Newcastle next...

We were mounting heavy pressure before the goal. It would have been wise to keep mounting pressure same way for at least another 15 minutes before the substitution.

I expected Mata to have helped the midfield knowing what was behind him. Some how he compounded the midfield woes by losing the ball carelessly in the first half.

I am not happy about this points dropped. I wanted us to lost Arsenal and Liverpool. And may be Spurs and Southampton if they were to be taken serious.

It was just a few minutes after subbibg RvP for Wilson that the red card came. I don't think Lvg would have removed RvP if the red card came while Rvp was on the pitch.

Wilson, Evans and Fletcher need to rediscover what their talents are - maybe guinea fowl hunters or something because right now they don't even look like ball boys in a primary sch match.

He shouldn't have subbed RVP in the first place. Wilson isn't going to offer more than even half fit RVP.

Exactly. Di maria and Wilson offered nothing. Young and Val should have remained in their positions or Val for Rafael.

Unto da next.

It was an off day for Gaal. He is getting to know his team every day. The starting line up was wrong. Then the substitution were wrong. How do you make substitution when at 60 mins everything looked perfect and hot?

Gaal thought Villa speeding counter attack died with Agbonlanhor's red card. Then he pulled out Val by bringing on Wilson for a direct attacking play. It badly backfired. Villa somewhat took over. Also, it looks like Young is weak on the right side of the wing. He didnt offer anything near what he gave on the left.

Wilson should be sent on loan.

we have pissed 2 points away...

the balance of the team was never right from the outset. we should return evans & wilson back to the reserves. i dunno why poor players rarely get injured. evans should never wear our shirt again.
That's quite strange. According to you, we can defeat any team.
Anyway, Van Gaal shouldn't be absolved from the blame too. The annoying thing about him is that he keeps promoting the wrong young players. No doubt Wilson is a great talent but we have many forwards in the team that need game time, especially Januzaj and that's when you consider Wilson himself needs regular game time which he's likely to have in the reserves and the fact that the reserve team has no striker.
And there's Thorpe, the reserve captain who was better than any of Blackett, McNair, Keane in the reserves. I saw him for the u20 worldcup last year and he was a rock in the defence for the England team. He's also a good on the ball, even better than the aforementioned names.
Lastly, we have some good central midfielders (Pearson, Harrop, Perreira) in the reserves that should have been promoted to avoid the reliance on the likes of Mata and Fellaini in midfield. The two bolded players are even the interesting ones because one is a playmaking CM (Harrop) and the other, a holding CM (Pearson) who's capable of being an understudy to Blind, now that Carrick is put in defence.

I no vex, I just did not understand why he would think that particular perfect pass to Rvp would be what I would be critical of.

Immediate after that incident there was a ball Rooney shud have controlled for himself to take a shot he bungled it about 2 - 3 other miscontrols tha he did in the game.

Rooney has well in this game, nothing spectacular but he has done well. I was hust particular about that failed control because it was a big chance for us.


If it were abig chance, I should have seen it. Big chance = CCC. RVP was the one who missed a big chance.

As for control, who doesn't miss control. Even our 'controls master' Mata has had horrible control this season even went sent clear in the box.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 7:30pm On Dec 20, 2014
Valencia is highly underrated. As soon as he left, Villa had a field day on the right side of our play.

If only Val could use his left leg at all.

LvG should note that:

Di maria can't play as a wing back. He was bad the last time.

Wilson should be dropped from the 1st team. He ain't Chicha.

I still don't see the way forward with this 3-5-2.

More from the boss, speaking

How much is RVP collecting per week ?, he was just anonymous, mata nko? No where to be found, 2 unnecessary points dropped. Flecher has served his time, he needs to join a team like burnley, evans will never improve, the passes in the final isn't there again. Van Gaal is killing united with his unorthodox method, 4. 3 3 or 4 4 2 please.

In the match you saw, did Wilson come in for RVP?

Di Maria came for RVP,n and we were still dominant in the final 3rd until Val was substituted. It was Val/Wilson substitution.

Feltcher/Bvlackett
RVP/Di Maria
Val/Wison

I think he meant to stress the point that ; had agbolanhor been carded while Rvp was on the pitch, LVG wouldn't have subbed him

we had no excuse not to walk away with all the 3 points tonight. mcnair & blackett are better than evans. the back four would have coped better with rafael--jones--mcnair--blackett.

No doubt Wilson is a great talent but we have many forwards in the team that need game time, especially Januzaj and that's when you consider Wilson himself needs regular game time which he's likely to have in the reserves and the fact that the reserve team has no striker.

i called him out the moment i saw the line-up. the tactical approach was rubbish. the formation isn't really the problem, the personnel tasked to play the formation is the main issue.


And there's Thorpe, the reserve captain who was better than any of Blackett, McNair, Keane in the reserves. I saw him for the u20 worldcup last year and he was a rock in the defence for the England team. He's also a good on the ball, even better than the aforementioned names.

you watch under-20 world cup?

enough is just enough!
any of our old players still crocked after christmas should be sold. we need at least one more defender & a box-to-box midfielder. i thought rojo was fully back - where is he? herrera, fellaini, shaw, rafael, blind, etc. these players better shape up or ship out.

He didn't mean that. He thought Wilson came on for RVP. And he dragged some people along that line of thought.

As for Gaal, he is still getting t know his team.

It was one of the matches we dominated, but creativity wasn't there in the first half and final minutes of the game. However, Villa keeper got Motm of whoascored with 8 saves. May be we weren't lucky.

It was a mistake! But even with that am happy intelligent people got my point.

Wilson for Rvp or di Maria for Val or vice versa was not the point I was driving at.

Someone has cleared the air you are still insisting on something trivial.

Leave Rooney ouy of RVP's miss. You only wanted to make RVP's miss less criminal. Rooney's miss is nmothing compared to Mata's misses throughout the game. Why did youi not highlight Mata's miss or his poor control all these while.

Dadehmola, what other meaning can you give to this? Wilson for RVP? Lol, Wilson came after the red card.

This is how he saw Rooney missing a big chance.

Rooney did his best. We always struggle having Fletcher in the middle. Rooney was near perfect up to the last 10 minutes of the game. We could only have blamed him for lack of adequate forward play in he first half. Again he paired Fletcher who always make us struggle even if it were 5 mins to go he came on .

You keep assuming.... That's why when you argue you end up tieing yourself in tortuous knots!

After my post

You assumed I was talking about the perfect pass Rooney gave Rvp for his miss.

You now assumed again that by insisting what I meant was the mistake I make in the substitution of RvP for wilson and insisted I dragged people to think that? Who are these people.

You are now assuming again that I highlighted Rooneys poor control just to diminish RvP miss. When those two incidence were, how do they say it again, MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE!

* I knew your mission. I nicked it in the bud.

* Tell me some truth. You haven't seen Mata, RVP and Falcao control badly many times? S why is it that every Rooney's mistake get recorded here?

Some mistakes are pardonable. For Rooney's performance today, he ought to be pardoned for any error in the final 3rd. Even though most of his passes were square, it is not easy to come out with 93% pass accuracy from 90+ passes pairing Fletcher. He also did well defensively.
