Van GAAL's actions and inactions during the past year as coach of my darling tean MANCHESTER UNITED, elicits mixed and feelings from ardent fans ....From player management technique to controversial statements , shear stubbornness, high level of tactical discipline and of late inexcusable deployment of players out of their natural positions.Man united fans seem to be getting impatient with the gaffer with some liking him to David Moyes his predecessor whose time at man united have been tagged 'shambolic' by both fans and pundits alike-hence the creation of this topic ......
Is Van Gaal a tactical genius?
.
1. Almost none of Europe's top
teams have a left-footed left-centre-
back, barring Juventus who have
Chiellini. Given that, is it still so
important that he plays average
centre-backs (Blind, Rojo, Evans),
over a Jones-Smalling pairing?
2. Our centre-back pairing of
Smalling and Jones, whilst not bad,
is not exactly title-class. Given how
many times De Gea bailed us out last
season and how close he is to
leaving, I simply cannot understand
why he would not think that centre-
back is a priority.
3. This is a guy who was quoted as
saying that Darmian is second choice
to Valencia.
4. Even last night, Luke Shaw
marked Zlatan Ibrahimovic at a
corner while Phil Jones was running
in freely like he was in a PSG shirt -
Are you f**king kidding me? Worse is
the fact that Rafael is not preferred
since he does not have height and
the most common example is that he
missed marking Drogba at a corner.
How is this absurdity accepted by
anyone? A full-back is not
necessarily tall and is most certainly
not expected to be marking the
target men of the opposition.
5. Depay, with all his pace and
acceleration, plays #10 and Mata
plays on the right flank.
6. Which genius plays two deep lying
midfielders in a 4-4-2 formation,
particularly against a 4-3-3?
7. We are going with Rooney as our
main (and sole established) striker
because - hear this carefully - he told
Van Gaal that he will score 25 goals
this season. What did he expect him
to say - "Uh Boss. I dont think I'll
score over 15 goals this time. Please
sign a better striker"?? Rooney is
prone to the occasional dry spell -
Who will get the goals then?
8. Which bungling idiot maintains a
negative tone in public over transfers
for whom you are trying to drive the
price up? Every single I don't know if
De Gea wants to stay and I don't
know where Di Maria is quote
increases the power for the other
party in the negotiation.
This is the guy who designated Phil
Jones to take corners, asked Rooney
to play [defensive] midfield, played
Valencia ahead of Rafael, thought De
Gea was not all that good, took off
Di Maria in THAT Leicester game,
played the dreadful 352, got pi**ed
with Valdes for not playing in the
reserves, got pi**ed with Van Persie
because he wanted to play in the
reserves and perhaps even 'sucked
the joy' of playing for Di Maria (and
much much more.)
To his credit though, he did kick out
Cleverley and Welbeck. So, perhaps,
we can call that evens.
F**k it (Still infinitely better than
David Moyes) MUFC
Blind At CB?
So let me get this straight. We're
going to start the season with Daley
Blind in central defence and Di Maria
will be playing for PSG?
All those Ed Woodward memes seem
a bit premature now.
