Manchester United vs Burnley Match Thread 11/2/15 k/o 1945 (NOT ON UK TV).

Soldie

Not sure I can stomach watching this. Pathetic stuff.

Unearthly

Burnley 10 attempts to United 2 ffs

super_furry

Wayne Rooney as a holding midfielder - Van Gaal is a clown. He'll be bringing him on as a sub goalkeeper for a penalty shoot out to prove how clever he is next.

Your Airbag

Burnley fans cheering a sequence of passing where they cut right through us making us look like the away side. This is cringeworthy so far and LVG doesn't look like he'll do anything to change it or change the philosophy/formation in the coming weeks.

sky88

Surley fellani should have came on to play dm instead of rooney

Spazdarn

Januzaj and McNair playing pretty well considering the rest of the team have been terrible..

Smalling again!????!!!!???

Burnley bossing this 1st half.

LVG needs to sort that team out. Loaded with talent and he cant make it work

kryogen

Smalling again, nice corner routine in fairness

Nolars

Smalling haha

Mars Bar

Smalling again. ****ing lol!!

Lord TSC

Smalling on a ****ing rollercoaster!

LuckyGent88

Completely undeserved

Will I Amnt

Lol, 2 goals him playing sh*te.

Kerrydude1981

Short corners are the way forward

Kylo Ren

Great corner. Smalling on for the Hat Trick.

Undeserved. We'll take it.

Professional Griefer

Waheeeeyyyyy. hoof it some more now

Right before half time too, great time to score

Giggsy11

We didnt deserve to be in the lead at all.

Pathetic performance.

Unearthly

Smalling with a Ronaldo 08 CL final type goal

John Cherry

Get the **** in. Genius management by LVG

secman

Against the run of play to be fair

Umpalumpa

The lack of celebration shows the players know they are playing sh`it

The Moldy Gowl

hahah from a cross from the worst player in the world

Jasus no passion at all from united players.

Liam O

Just play Smalling up front as the lump in the box from now on.

irishfeen

Embarrassing stuff in fairness.. 2-1 but it could be 0-3 Burnley..

Your Airbag

Finding it hard to enjoy this even with that goal. A horror show in terms of style and heart.

advertsfox

3 shots, 3 on target, 2 goals. Its been messy though!

Iused2likebusts

burnley cant defend set pieces I think thats 15 goals conceded from corners which will see them relegated. Bit of a shame as they give it a right go in every game.

Maximus Alexander

Good solid first half there.

irishfeen

United 3 attempts, Burnley 10 ..

edgecutter

Delighted to be in front, but this insistence on playing two upfront is killing us.

Falcao needs to come off, can't even hold the ball up. Better off putting Big Fel on and moving rooney behind Van Persie.

LuckyGent88

Score line completely flatters us. 2 opportunities on goal and we scored both.
Shambolic at times in defence and there is no midfield at all to be able to bring our forward line into the game.
Falcao has been brutal any time the ball has come to him. Can't hold possession at all and looks devoid of any confidence.

LVG needs to apply the hairdryer treatment to the players badly here and giggs needs to do the same to LVG. He really needs to get his act together.

RVP's had about 3 touches

cournioni

Good to see Herrera on. Hopefully now we'll be able to play a bit. He's constantly looking for the ball and looking to play it forward. Most of the others seem to be going through the motions.

Falcao has had numerous and given it away each time.

Aidric

Burnley taking the game to us at home, grim stuff. Not complaining about leading but glossing over a terrible performance.

RVP has been completely anonymous, though I get your point.

Rooney's been terrible in that position too, I'd have the more mobile Rooney up there with Falcao and Herrera in midfield... though that's bound to be ruined by the injuries now.

user2011

It's a serious god awful chore to watch United attempting to play football.

bangkok

winning 2-1 that mean we are playing good football?!

Another dire half of football from us, this time v Burnley at home. Thank fúck we grabbed 2 goals, good man Smalling! Even if he is getting the run around in defense tonight.

Delighted to see Herrera get a chance at decent minutes, devastated it is only because Daley Blind has gone off injured.

Putting Rooney to DM is a crazy move, but in fairness it hasn't been a disaster so far, although there's still 45 minutes of football to play.

The space between our defenders bringing out the ball and our MF/attack is too much. No wonder a lot of our possession involves back and forth between our defense.

edgecutter

Hopefully Jones isn't injured badly, because he is nowhere near as bad as Evans.

Mantis Toboggan

Falcao has been woeful

Nolars

you have to laugh

Lord TSC

Without De Gea, we'd be ****ed.

Mars Bar

:eek:

That flick

irishfeen

Jesus Christ almighty we wouldn't defend a Jaffa cake

kryogen

Smalling is not awake
