Don't know if its worth it watching this match.

That unreactive stature of the LVG coupled with his clueless and bland look when seated holding his yeye folder is just annoying.

Bournemouth smiling and rubbing their hands gleefully at their next match.

sinizia:
Van Gaal to be sacked. SMH!!

He desrves to be sacked repeatedly.

Some players are not man u standard. Or rather the standards have fallen.

This is serious ooo.

Naija, where are we heading?

elampiro:
When Darmian first came I supported him over Valencia. I thought may be we had an Azpilicueta.

Darmian might be going through a rough patch now. It is not fair to conderm him the way you are doing.

Valencia himself has been shyte for some period time but has then turned around to put in decent performances. I think Darmian is a good defender, LvG trying to convert him to LW will distort his primary function.

I'd rather really assess him on his defensive duties than attacking even though I feel he needs to snap outta this his recent form.

AdeLaNa1:
The Scousers look like a rebranded team. Beating S'oton at home is never an easy task

I dey fear those guys and tottenham, they seem to be making a case for top 4..

6 teams wan occupy top 4.

elampiro:
You may not have noticed but it's a true assessment I have given you.

There is a difference/variation in 'give me I give you' from player to player. Valencia, Jones and Young are better on the ball in their feet in our own third/half than Darmian. Darmian is not comfortable on the ball when passed to him, he wants it out of his feet quickly. He is a little better when he gets it in the opposition half and there's is space.

There are some passes released too soon and too safe, to the back. There are many things. When Val or Jones wins a tackle you are never again going to win the ball back from them until they utilize it, but Darmian loses. When you talk about going forward, he is also very very weak at it.

Val and Jones can do no wrong in Elampiros eyes, even when they are injured.

I totally agree with all the pot shots at LVG. Is it that LVG has come only to stabilize the team? He is not interested in winning anything? He needs to free these players and ask that they take a little more risk so that there can be positive forward play instead of recycling possession play that just leaves us going round in circles.

Are Daar communications staff still being owed?

I hear he owes his workers for months before he pays and I know the staff will not know that such an amount was paid to him for "media and publicity"

How NSA office take dey pay for publicity is rather interesting.

Mourinholic:
I don't have time to dig....but I sure did when the signing was announced.....

Guy you suppose dey warn Moanrinho say if Costa see knife he will not hesistate to use it on him instead of taking panadol for our headache.

CyberWolf:
how will the diversification work without true federalism?

And when we advocate for true federalism they will oppose it.

Its a shame.

elampiro:
We have played without Rooney before. Win 1,lost 1.

We also played without him today for a good period. I didn't see any improvement. It's like all the space suddenly vanished.

I only want the pressure to be taken off him so that Kean and co can think of something else. When Rooney returns he plays freely.

I am not surprised you are more concerned about Rooney than the way the team is faring!

One or two games without rooney will not give a true picture of what the potential of the team should be.

There are other things that affect the team, but let's just see how it goes without Rooney, for me the philosophy is the major problem though.

But I will always add that since the team is amongst the top 4teams with marginal diff in points Lvg can boast of doing something right.

Micheal Owens said when he looks at United he does not feel they will/can win the prem, but they are somehow doing something right to be where they are. I feel the same way.

We should remember the EPL is a marathon, people still expect that leicester will still finish 6th - 8th.

MrTA:
Benching Rooney doesnt solve any problems for us this season.

It solves atleast 35% of our problems.

possession philosophy 35%

Memphis 10%

Others 20%

Danhumprey:
elampiro seem to have run out of excuse.

He is now negotiating for Rooney to sit on the bench for some games.

elampiro:

I like the way Gaal substituted Rooney. If possible he should be left out in some games. It will take the pressure of him.

When we said that Rooney should be benched earlier in the season you cried wolf, that we were all against Rooney because we hate him.

Now you are saying the same thing. Let's even see what other players/formations without him will fare because Rooney has consistently dished out shyte when he plays and LvG plays him regularly, that's why his shyte displays are so obvious.

Odunharry:
na now you de know?

Naa! I don know tey tey just that anytime we say Rooney is useless and finished his supporters will make it look like its because or bad belle or refer to his achievements or talk about another player that played badly not addressing the fact that their god Rooney is useleSs.

Am only saying that Rooney is actually finished and its not because of bad belle. He is actually truly finished.

nyabinghi:
mr codedguy read where he said he deserves to be shot dead

I. Don see am.

Thank you.

Claroo:
Rooney can't score!!!

Rooney can't dribble!!!

Rooney can't assist!!!

Waiting 4 Rooney Advocates to come and defend him

He can't cross!

He can't control the ball!

He can't shoot!

Darmian was terrible today.

Memphis was just running around like a headless chicken making a nuisance of himself.

nyabinghi:
how I wish you were actually shot for that statement, how cruel because of what, even if you are a holder of a season long ticket you shouldn't say that. He has gone out how has the attack fared, martial has been shyte in this game so far, memphis playing like a conference player.

What type of irresponsible talk is this! Wishing someone is shot just because he feels Rooney who is ur god, a human being like u should not continue as captain.

Its his opinion.

igbsam:
I see.....dat boy vardy really scored us. He vowed to score united and he did. I duff ma hat for dat guy

Painful!

Odunharry:
Carrick don weak.. Chaii

Without any bad belle.

Truely speaking Rooney is finished!

dopeJemi:
Lol, how do you pretend to play direct? alright bro, let's enjoy the game

Let me try to answer ur question.

Left to LvG we should pass that ball for 90mins in our half and have 100% possession, but that would be too obvious so from time to time he instructs the players to try and move the ball forward to deceive the fans.

He is satisfied with 100% possession in our half.




u don't have to accept my explanation oo

dopeJemi:
I'm not sure you payed full attention, we were direct and faster before the goal, for the first time we looked like we really wanted to attack, it is now we are passing the ball around

I payed attention, we were pretending to attempt to play direct and forward like we always do in different variations.

So u now observe that its now that we are a goal down that we are passing the ball, is that the kind of reaction you shud expect from your team.

We have won games playing like this and I hope we win this too.

But its not an interesting style. We are 2nd on the log and that's what we should be happy about.

Goal schweini!

dopeJemi:
Which boring tactics are you talking about? We were playing really well until the goal

It was the normal passing of the ball without any penetration which we are used to. If you call that playing well, no problem.

Let's see how the team reacts to the goal.

Our reaction to this goal is to increase the passess.

Vardy don score ooo

RVN will assassinate some united players today.

igbsam:
update pls

I no go watch o!

Our boring tactics seem to be stifling leicester. Its making them not play their normal fast game.

That has always been the plan.

MrTA:
Midfield is a problem, attack looks ok. Defense I'm unsure of.

What kinda result are u expecting from an unsure defence, problematic midfield and an ok attack, considering we are not exactly a high scoring side that can ignore whatever the defence does knowing we can outscore our opponents.

This guy with all the hardcover notebook wey him dey carry, he no take down the reason wey make Arsenal tear us apart with our 2 slow and old midfielders in schweini and carrick. All the money we waste in buying paper for Van Gaal is going to waste if he does not write anything of note that he can fall back on in times like this.

Those leicester players that move like spirits when on the attack is what LVG wan use carrick wey just recover from injury and schweini wey dey tire early. Another lazy mata on the pitch again.

And its now people like Val and jones are injured.

God is Good!

Leyqute:
Are you going to watch the Leicester match? It's going to reveal if LvG is actually the fool many have touted him to be. Utd's away record in the league could be better as the team has struggled against weaker oppositions. Leicester is a good team, I want to see how el philosophy will arrange his team and how the players'll communicate. However if he fields a stupid lineup, na to off TV go sleep.

My love for the club will always push me to not be able to deliberately not watch the game, but if I can't for genuine reasons, na highlights go sweet pass especially if we win.

Highlights will make us look good even with el jefe's feelawsawfee!.

These days all I wish for is to hear we won without watching the game because watching the game aint worth it.

SIRcumalot:
You can expect a solid win.

Amen!

When I complained about our lackadaisical style of play even after we won a game and where supposedly sitting on top of the table starboard and Coogar said we complain too much.

The truth is this philosophy will only make us look like wannabe champions. Its is quite hard to criticize LVG because of his position on the table, so we will continue to watch.

Honestly, if we eventually win anything this term with this philosophical ideology of a style, I would be really really really surprised.

Whether players don't understand the style or we don't have players that can execute the style is what I don't really know. He has spent enuf money to bring the so called players that he knows shud have understood his philosophy by now.

Anyways! We are 2nd on the log and that's what it is.

I don't even know what to expect against leicester.
