hehehehe - oxdale had rapëd valencia & another covering player at the edge of the box. he was going to shoot on target & smalling quickly covered the zone oxdale wanted.

look at the gif very well. had smalling stayed with monreal, oxdale gets a free shot on target & there was no market near him. smalling did his job, di maria slëpt on his toes.

fact still remains phil jones is badluck.

31% win percentage? very poor!

coogar:
unfortunately for you, last season isn't this season. jones win% got us the 7th position & it's our worst campaign in the history of the league.

we are talking of 14/15 season under LVG. moyes season is done & dusted. why is your favourite defender the most useless defender in the premier league?

coogar:
you are a fool!
if valencia is tracking alexis, di maria's job is to track monreal. there was no way di maria should have allowed monreal to be goalside of him. these are basic stuff in defending. why would smalling be telling anyone to do his job?

a winger's job is on the opposing fullback. a fullback's job is on the opposing winger.

coogar:
so we won because of jones?



jones didn't play 3-5-2 yesterday & he certainly didn't play that formation against swansea. admit it, jones is badluck.

jones isn't the only defender in man utd - how come he has the poorest win% in the entire squad? jones 31% is even the poorest in the premier league.

SIRcumalot:
Smalling his better than jones he just isn't consistent enough.
Jones play style his to physical with little technical ability,his inability to read the game properly allows him to perform ridiculous tackles as a last ditch effort and this reckless abandon for himself is repackage to us as "bravery"
Bottom line both of them aren't good enough any one of smalling's useless mistake could've caused a goal yesterday.

coogar:
show us the games jones has won this season.

coogar:
yes, smalling was the reason di maria didn't do his job? which winger doesn't know he has to cover his fullback in the premier league?

coogar:
yes, he padded his stats up against burnley, newcastle & sunderland too.



but it was only when jones came on that we conceded the winner?



he's on his way out.
watch what happens to him from now. the whole world now knows his nuisance value. MEN & MUTV discussed his decline extensively last night before the game......

shaw's lack of fitness & evans' punishment was the reason jones played yesterday. until then, he had been sidelined by LVG & we were winning games without him.

jones played against west ham(draw)
jones subbed early vs burnley(win)
jones played vs swansea(loss)
jones absent vs sunderland(win)
jones absent vs newcastle(win)
jones played vs arsenal(loss)

what other evidence do you need?


we should believe your calculation over OPTA?

coogar:
mcnair - 82%
smalling - 60%
rooney - 59%

idiotïc jones - 31%

the facts tower over your opinion, any given day!

coogar:
which error did smalling commit last season? why is last season even relevant in this discourse? was yesterday's match a last season's game?

rooney played well yesterday.
di maria played well yesterday. many of our players played well yesterday. jones was the only bad apple & perhaps the morönic januzaj.

i cannot fault the effort of the coaching crew or the tactics. we cannot continue to give opponents awoof goals like arsenal's 2nd goal and not get punished for it. that's not a tactical error - it's an individual error.

get jones out of the squad & we would be fine.

Leyqute:
Jones will fumble if he plays LCB. Both are right footed players and can't clear well with their left. only Evans can.

Moreso Smalling z better than Jones at RCB considering his recent performances.

coogar:
he was dragged into the centre by alexis. di maria was at fault for the first goal. if valencia isn't there, it's di maria's job to track the full back. it was a well-worked goal by arsenal to be honest. i don't apportion blame to our players when we concede a brilliant goal.

who should we blame for rooney's goal? szczesny or koscielny? you can't blame anyone for that - sometimes we have to accept the brilliance of the players that created a goal & stop scapegoating. british pundits started that nonsense - someone must take the blame for any goal scored.

chrisley024:
i don't see anything wrong he did in the game but his badluck i can't explain.

SIRcumalot:
I fail to understand this tactics
If you're trying to neutralize oxlaide and sanchez, is a slow player like carrick the answer ?
I hope LVG was trying to protect Herrera's red card because I can't see any advantage to having blind,Carrick and Fellani on the same pitch.

A40:
I don't know if LVG has lost his mojo are Man U players are just shyte. All I saw them do was hoof the ball to Fellaini and hope for the best. I thought the Long ball United thing was just bants but it was embarrassing to see for myself. If Man U don't make the top 4, Adidas and Chevrolet don enter one chance

SailorXY:
LvG doesn't like -
Mata,
Herrera,
Shaw,
Rafael,
Smalling.

he doesn't double check before yanking them off a game & keeping them on the bench.

I like LvG, but players like Herrera & Mata only make it to the pitch cuz the fans @ OT & the media believe in them - & this is fact.

chrisley024:
Dude was ok to me 2day. How on earth he's gonna pick form by having very little game time

chrisley024:
The players are not ok with the new formation in the 2nd half. You can see the frustration through their many fouls and on their faces.

Herrera that was better than Blind in the 1st half was subbed just to keep his fellow country man.
