We won't sign anyone, too late to get the quality required. Letting Hernandez go without cover is baffling.

This is a ****ing joke. We were comfortable before Rooney fannying about again.

Mitch Connor

So another game we need a goal, and no sign of Hernandez and Wilson, yet people will argue we have replaced RVP and Falcao with Hernandez and we are fine. Yeah. Good one.

J. Marston

Surely the end of Rooney.

and play who upfront? how did the club get itself in to this situation

MagicMarker

Get ready for it.

Paul Tergat

LVG has had 3 windows now. Plan A is rubbish - dull, slow and easy to play against. Plan B is to stick a big man up top and launch balls to him.

It's not good enough

deaddonkey15

Is Memphis really any better than Nani right now?

Crimson King

If Adnan Puti n the kind of display Memphis has today he would be rigtly called out!

Headshot

LVG and Woodward have a lot to answer for this summer transfer window

Lord TSC

Sigh.

How many ways can I say; Rooney up front just isn't working

FutureGuy

Yeah. Go fcuking backwards with 15 seconds yet.

Guys. Seriously.

4 premier league games. 4 dreadful performances. Utterly dreadful.

I'm glad we are on a break now. Actually hate watching it.

Unearthly

Once they scored you knew it was over. Sad

irishfeen

That was beyond terrible

Nolars

hopefully we buy a pacey striker and winger and cb now.

Giggsy11

Money spent, signed many players but somehow Woody and Glazers will get the abuse rather than Van Gaal.

We have good enough players to score more goals but slow tempo games means our strikers gets **** all chances.

Oh btw, fix is not just signing players, its getting head out of the arse and play with higher tempo than this crap possession game.

Quandary

Memhis and Schweinsteiger were very poor. Romero suspect big time for the 2nd. Rooney really should have put away one of his chances.

Very disappointing. We need another option in attack badly.

He shouldnt be in the team full stop. Any other player with the same level of performances wouldnt be starting. Its really starting to ****ing annoy me at this stage

Can't believe I'm saying this but I'd rather Young starting

LostBoy101

Painful stuff from United.

KH25

This is simply not good enough. Holding possession is useless because we create nothing. We need a goal and the plan changes to hoofing it to Fellaini, which is literally what happened when he came on.

Rooney must be replaced. We desperately need a striker and a goalkeeper.

Romero was never up to standard for United, we need to get a new keeper.

bangkok

they were "long passes" at the end, not long balls :rolleyes:

Up front - so Fellaini is considered a better bet to score us goals than Hernandez or Wilson, and your arguement is that Chico is a good enough addition to the front line? If he was good enough, he'd be in contention for a starting spot. He's not even close.

That Fellaini is second choice striker just underlines my point - it is a pathetic situation.

United's squad isn't good enough - any argument otherwise is in utter ignorance of the performances vs Spurs, Villa, Newcastle and Swansea.

We've scored 2 goals, ourselves, in 4 games yet our attacking options are good enough. Its an unbelievable argument.

JamboMac

Hopefully this means signings are coming, if this is Rooney confident then I'd hate to see him play depressed.

Can't wait for the Rooney excuses it's everybody else's fault he didn't score, go get Robbie Keane.

PhlegmyMoses

Big mistake from Rooney for their first giving away possession cheaply with so many committed forward. Romero atrocious for the second.

I just don't enjoy watching this team at all. So devoid of creativity and pace, so nervy, so safe. Brutal stuff.

irishfeen

DeGea must not be sold for any money this season... window closes and he plays v Liverpool. We NEED a striker and CB before window closes - no if's or but's...

And a centre back. And we won't improve with a lumbering Schweinsteiger in midfield.

Yeah you know what? Deserved.

Someone needs to answer why we did not strengthen crucial weaknesses.

Hernandez as second striker. No.
Romero as keeper. No.
Blind as centre back. No.
Rooney as striker. No. Too small, not strong enough to play this system.

I hope Gary Neville has the balls to call it like it is. We are a joke.

I have watched pretty much every team so far this year. We play the worst football. It's not even close.

We all like Van Gaal. Great personality, a great laugh and great for the banter.

If Moyes was responsible for those four performances, we would be ripping the **** out of him.

So I'll say it. LVG - shown nothing as a manager so far this year. Nothing.

Rossi IRL

LVG must not watch the match atall.

Leaves on Rooney , Depay and Swein who i thought were dissapointing.

Takes off Mata , Herrera and Sneiderlin.

Rooney gives the ball away cheapily for the 1st goal.

Shaw and Blind nearer the half way line than where they should have been for the second goal.

Romero has been found out, just have a shot. He is good at coming at crosses and catching it, but saving shots........

We need to break the bank and get a proper center back and a replacement for Rooney.

Blind has been decent up until now, but he is always out of position.

Over-reaction after a poor result, maybe put im sure those points are clear enought that most people see them.

TheDoc

That was a pretty frustrating result considering what happened elsewhere at the weekend. Swansea, while a good team, weren't that impressive today. Two really soft goals.

Little created ourselves. Rooney should have had us 2-2, looking for the peno and then a dive. Really unusual decision making and had me going beserk.

Not going to freak out about it, plenty of teams will struggle there this year, but not winning those type of matches id the difference between winning a title and not.....

Roquentin

rooney is just awful. hit it on your left. if that was aguero, hes definitely scored one goal at least. rooney as well at fault for swanseas first goal. driving me nuts just watching him.

RobertKK

It has been one of those weekends.

Now I hope United decide on getting Laporte.

Then we need someone for upfront instead of Rooney, who should drop back to number 10. He is not good enough for lone striker. I rather lose today when we can still do something as in bring in new blood, rather than in two weeks time.

Lord TSC

Think I will just go away for a while...

Soups123

Hey not a Utd fan

Do you guys think Hernandez is underused? Do you think he could be a real option up front if given a run of games?

With you on that. That game was just infuriating.

He is fine for the sub goalkeeper.

BenK

Not ideal still needing 4 players at this late stage in the window. Rooney looks a shadow of himself and having Fellaini as your main attacking alternative is so crude. Not much evidence of a philosophy with that one.

Yeah signing more strikers means more goals. Mancini would put his head in the sand and shout "that's not the way it works".

Signing striker won't solve any problem, problem is Van Gaal and his slow possession game.

Hernandez and Fellaini is considered as options for back up role and this game Fellaini got the nod in this game.

Hernandez is more than good enough for back up role.

Oh btw, re your previous argument re RVN and Hernandez goals in so and so games. Great point .You just love to be dramatic with your points. Hernandez played around 800 mins and RVP scored around 2300 mins.

bangkok

some of fellaini's passing/touches when he came on were shocking, a simple 10 yard pass to young, he puts it 5 yards over his head out for a throw in. shocking

He is leaving most likely.

IvySlayer

Back pass, back pass, long ball. LVG can feck off at the end of the season if this keeps up. 5 points behind City and Utd lost the toughest fixture yet.

200m + spent
No De Gea
No striker
Rigid predictable tactics

What is in that folder he carries around?

J. Marston

Meh, rage over.

Signings won't really help in a system like this. We're all hoping for some superstar attacker to save us but the football is so shít that probably won't do much better than Rooney. Which wouldn't be difficult.

adox

A keeper a CB a striker and a pacy wide player are needed and there's two days to go in the transfer market. Van Gaals and Woodwards management of the squad has been awful.

Van Gaals tactics are absolutely awful. It's just putrid to watch.

The running of the club since Ferguson and Gill left has been awful and exacerbated Utds demise.
