Manchester United Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread - Mod Note in OP, 13/8

glued

Same problems again. Carrying way too many players in this side.

Danye

We genuinely need 5 players (minimum) in to do something this season.

1 top drawer centre half, another decent centre half and a left full.

1 top drawer central midfielder and another physically strong dominating midfielder. We're so light in the centre of the park. Getting bullied.

Hoofball to Fellaini now.

Shambolic!

Liam O

Some baffling personnel decisions and the formation didn't suit the players chosen. Kagawa not playing is annoying in the extreme. Januzaj playing right back is a joke. It's descended into goofball. At least Blackett's good.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Jones fantastic challenge again, Sigs lovely ball. Gomis should have had a go.

Backstreet Moyes

Jones been sensational.

KH25

Fellaini needs to be sold. He is a disgrace. Constantly elbowing players.

Hank Scorpio

Elbow ffs, hes fair dirty

Headshot

He should of been sent off for that thuggish tackle

5starpool

Could have been red for Fellaini. Def a yellow card for him anyhow it should have been.

bantee

Strange that it was Jones shunted to RB again with change of formation. Surely Young at RB and Blacket at LB would've been better?

KH25

Shelvey is a detestable player. Would love to see him get a taste of his own medicine.

Who else are we signing so?

One positive thing from this game is that You can be assured some proper signings will be made in the next two weeks

Liam O

As bad as Herrera was he's not the player you take off to win a game.

Lucas Hood

We've looked terrible since Herrera went off.

Thanx 4 The Fish

Ooh, reckon FA will have a look at that one from Fellaini, which would probably be good for Man U anyway. He def went for a little smack out at Ki.

How Soon Is Now

This place is going to be hell on earth for foreseeable future.......

ParkRunner

Jack Charlton would be proud of this

Oh really? Because its not like we had all summer to do it...

redbaron_99

Shambles. That is all.

KombuchaMshroom

2 weeks away from this thread will probably be the plan now to safe my sanity

Hank Scorpio

That Herrera sub was baffling alright, he was keeping things ticking in midfield

Liam O

For all the good we seen from LVG in preseason he made some real shockers today. Januzaj coming on for Lingard at RWB is something I never fathomed ever writing.

5starpool

If Ferguson was in charge I'd still expect utd to win.

brinty

This game has proven everything we already knew
The preseason didn't highlight a thing
Chico is not going to last
Fellaini is simply not good enough and adds nothing in midfield or attack
Weve no one in midfield thats fighting for the ball
Young has no place in the team
Rooney is not a captain thats going to drive this team
Cross cross cross doesn't work

We needed signings weeks ago and now its too late

But they didn't and this game would probably speed up things regarding possible transfers

newballsplease

Ashley young should be playing in the championship. Rubbish.

Don't be so sure. We said that last season too.

Who said Young would revert to form after pre season? Whoever you are, can I have the lotto numbers for tonight?

jimmytwotimes 2013

Signings needed or its a struggle for fourth.

Adamocovic

I know this hasn't been ideal but most of the people saying we are a shambles now were fairly happy this time last season when we won 4-1 against Swansea!

This is only one game, we have a lot of injuries and not much depth. Give VG time before we start predicting impending doom!

FutureGuy

Ah I'm sure everything will work out perfectly fine ...

No need for a CM or a CB. Sure that'd be silly.

I'm happy for Van Gaal to give time to assess what he had but if the problems aren't rigging alarm bells in his head after that, it's going to a very very long season.

Rayne Wooney

You know I knew that was going to happen

So much for positivity, club is a complete joke if we don't sign two midfielders and two defenders in the next two weeks, and top class ones at that

We were poor in our first game last season, despite the score . Shambles today. Lacking quality in all areas

JaMarcusHustle

Well on the plus side, a lot of people will be out of Last Man Standing.

Harry Palmr

Welcome to the Premier League Mr Van Gaal I think.

edgecutter

Right Ed time to take out the cheque book NOW!

It may be time to revive the green and gold brigade if we don't get players in that can help us compete.

Just thought that myself

Lord TSC

People will focus on defence cause it's the popular topic, but this match really showed me how much I wish Rooney was replaced. Despite a great bicycle kick, he was ****ing dire all over the match; shooting instead of passing, when he did pass, he was lazy and misplaced them, and never looked like a leader trying to prove himself.

Meanwhile, Fletcher was anonymous at best, Young undid all the good faith he gained over the preseason, Nani did very little when he came on, Hernandez is already out the door.

Personally, I felt Jones and Smalling looked quite good; the goals, for me, came from deficiencies in the wing backs.

The biggest positive is that this should lead to transfers in ASAP.

Anyone see Mata today? Ffs

In my view the final third was our big issue. Doing nothing with the possession we had. Obviously it would help to get in some players with the injuries we have but I'm not going to start going into this mad panic some people seem to be.

I'm waiting to see how we are at the end of the month before I start to panic.

TheDoc

While I "should" be annoyed, I'm not overly freaking out.

I think watching that LVG will have gotten himself very much equipped with the task ahead and what is needed. We looked a bit toothless going forward. RVP to come back will make a big difference. Herrera still to settle and the team to get a bit more equipped with what is required.

Fully expect signings to come in during the next week, and I mean fully. The squad is not top 4 material without making some quality signings I'm afraid. Real lack of quality.

How he stay on for the full match was strange. Herrara should have stayed on.

Well said TSC
LvG has domne nothing to impress me yet during his reign

We need to spend major £££. And that was before the match.

Is that last bit sarcasm?

I wonder how many people are going to keep their heads in the sand about whats going on at the club now?
