Did Falcao jus miss that?

The defender nicked it outta his path

Why do I have this feeling we won't win this match?

We scored a few mins after switching to 4-4-2.

Is van gaal too daft to take this into consideration?

Fellaini scores..

Rooney isn't good enough as a cf, LVG withdraws him into the hole. Rooney can't displace mata from the hole, LVG withdraws him to CMF at the expense of a natural CMF in ander Herrera......all because captain fantastic must play.

Van gaal has ruined us!!!

RuuDie:

Louis van Gaal slams Man United critics, claims his team are improving
By Ryan Hill

Posted on January 17, 2015

Louis van Gaal has defended his philosophy and claimed that even in defeat Manchester United are always improving, as reported by Goal. Furthermore, the Dutchman claimed that some of the criticisms his players have received has been “unbelievable.”
Following last week’s defeat at home to Southampton, the Dutchman has come under a lot of scrutiny – especially as he had virtually a full squad to choose from.

The United boss controversially also left out Radamel Falcao from his first-team squad for the game, casting doubts over the Colombian’s future at Old Trafford, as reported by The Independent.
The former Ajax coach has claimed, however, that the Red Devils cannot be doing so badly if he, is getting nominated for Manager of the Month, as reported by Goal.

Van Gaal also chose to point out that United have lost just one of their last 12 matches in an impassioned defence of his team and philosophy – stating that whatever people say, his side are always improving.

Speaking to MUTV (quoted via Goal), he said: “It’s unbelievable that people, most people of the media, are saying this but indeed we have lost once in 12 matches, 0-1, and when you see the game you have analysed that Manchester United was the better team, so it is not so bad.

“I have read in the papers that I have been nominated for manager of the month, so it is not so bad as some media are writing.

“What I am looking for, what I am analysing, is all the six [away] matches we were the better team, we could have scored and we could have won, but we didn’t win, so that is a disappointment, but in the process I have to say that we are always better.”

Van Gaal has seen his troops take only two points from their last three Premier League matches, while they have also been criticised for a failure to create chances against Stoke City on New Year’s Day and Yeovil in the FA Cup third round. They only had one shot on target against Saints as but Van Gaal is adamant that there is no issue on the creative front.

He told MUTV: In recent games…I don’t agree. You can say that we have not created too many chances in the last three matches, but before that we played away against Tottenham Hotspur and we had six big chances with the same system, so it’s always dependable of the opponent also.

“But I will say that in the last phase of our attack we failed in the last pass and that is the most important pass. I hope we shall improve that in the coming matches.”

This man dey craze..

SmellOfMonkey:



Serves her right. When they go about wearing mini skirts who dey there?? Mtcheew

You are a consummate retärd...

A lady died a gruesome and unfortunate death, you are here spewing poppycocks.

May all the females in your accursed family suffer the same fate as that lady, you miserable son of a haggard village wîtch!

Sophyrocks:
Reasons i stay away from men who are breadwinners/too generous to a fault. They dnt know when they stop, plan and save. What their mates have achieved within a few years, they will achieve in donkey years, if possible, never achieve till their old age. And their families are usually very entitled and without gratitude. They also disappear when they need help the most.

My NL wife.... I don dey find you sinceeeee!!

How you dey?

SailorXY:
what's the point playing two strikers when we can't even spot their movements or create even two chances for each per game?

even against minnows like Yeovil, see the way we were struggling to create anything - diagonal passes & keeping useless possession by returning the ball to de Gea! what is exciting about such displays?

Rafael & Shaw are very good full backs & should continue as such. the excuse was that he's forced to play this system because of injuries, what's his problem now?

4-1-4-1 or 4-4-2 diamond was clicking nicely, I'm sure 4-3-3 will do just fine - we must make the UCL so he better drops his arrogance. see how we've wasted multiple opportunities to close the gap @ the top with very winnable games; yet we are falling even more behind

From the look of things, 3-5-2 seems to be the koko of the "philosophy this, philosophy that" wey LVG dey always shout.

My own be say we gast qualify for the UCL or else e no go funny oo

elampiro:
I mentioned diamond (formation).

The problem really is that Gaal has not fully understood this team and how best to combine these players.

When and how to use Herrera. The Carrick/Blind choice. Even what formation would accommodate all his favourite players.

The above are the problems facing Gaal.

And bale should come and add more wahala in this regard abi?

chrisley024:
Is LvG drunk or what?
Didn't put Falcao on the bench and yet substituted RvP.

If it was because falcao is injured, the usual "injuries have affected us greatly" excuse woulda been put forward when in actual fact, some of LVG's tactics and substitutions have been horrible even without injuries.

Whatever jazz van gaal is using to keep us in UCL qualification race had better continue cos if for any reason we no qualify ehn.....

SailorXY:
Messi of 2011-2013 may be worth it, not the Messi of today. its a no brainer for me even tho he's world class.

That's because he has set the standards so high for himself. Even at that, this is a player who won the golden ball in Brazil ( debatable though), scored 41 goals in 46 appearances last season and already has 23 in 23 this season.

SailorXY:
a fair negotiation should see his value around £110m-£130m & if I call the shots @ OT, I'll still not pay that figure for him!

so how much do you think he is worth? This is messi we are talking about.. not Eden Hazard!

SailorXY:
Gareth Bale comes first for me @ £120m max cuz of his lengthy contract that is

messi's contract expires in 2018, bale : 2019 . If i am not mistaken, the migdet's salary should even be twice that of bale's as we speak.


From the look of things, it seems that 200m being quoted na release clause which even makes it a good bargain IMO. With the recent hike in prices of players, paying that amount for the 2nd best player in the world appeals to me greatly, afterall............











THE MONEY DEY!!

iheanyi40:
u ehh

SailorXY:
I will rather pay £70m for Ronaldo

I doubt if Madrid will even consider selling a Ronaldo who is still fit and firing on all cylinders.

This is messi we are taking about - the chance to sign such a player won't come twice!

Btw, if you had to choose between signing bale for 130-140m and getting messi for 200m, who would be your choice?

SailorXY:
hahaha with £200m?

the cash will build this team to perfection

But the money dey na?

Na messi we dey talk oo - arguably the best player in the history of the game. He is just 27 and still in very good condition.

.

The payment thingy has officially been effected - my friend paid both obligatory and tuition fees today. Take the pay advice to any of the designated banks and pay - a text message from the PG school acknowledging the payment follows almost immediately.

When he logged back into his portal, he saw the "print receipt" option there.

Cheers

Why aren't we in the race to sign messi?

CFCfan:
Imagine a front four of:

Messi- Fabregas- Hazard
Nzogbia - mikel - salah

--------Costa --------
benteke

It's only a fantasy sha

Rooney has to be the worst player in this weekend's round of matches. See as e play that ball

Hererra strikes...

Replay no go make sense oo








That's if we don't lose today anyways

Rafael and shaw have been piss-poor so far.

Smh at Rooney's mediocrity so far

adebayo201:
I think DM... that's we don't need him... abi??

My exact thoughts..

Dunno why song's name should come up in a discussion involving the likes of Vidal, strootman and pogba as potential additions to our MF

.

SailorXY:
£10m for Song makes sense & I'm sure he will like to push for a deal be in Manchester

Is song a DM or CMF?

chrisley024:
I don dey feel sorry for Martinez sef

4 consecutive losses...

If they are not careful, dem go relegate
