Fellaini at #10 is a good thing, he can concentrate on attacking.

When LVG plays him in midfield he seems to also be instructed to move high up the pitch to provide a target which in turn leaves his partner in midfield isolated and the defence exposed.

Herrera at 10 is the better option for good link up play but your most likely right and it will be the big man at 10.

Nothing changes for me regardless of next two games. Van gaal has to go.

Finally, Smalling and Jones as cbs

Think carrick selection to allow some runners inbehind defence

It looks to me lvg is adjusting and that side looks a llittle bit more attack minded

Big game for Herrera today

Rooney getting dropped is a good thing and may be the slap in the head that spurs him on

Mars Bar

Has everyone forgotten that we have a game again on Monday? I don't think Rooney has been dropped. He has just been kept for the Chelsea game IMO.

Would agree if there was any other first teamers rested, but by the looks of it, thats the strongest team he could have put out, with the exception of Rooney and Schnederlin, who he seems not to want to play anyway

madcabbage

Ah good, Jones is back... How long will it take to get himself injured this time? :rolleyes:

Leroy42

So a must win game and LVG suddenly thrusts (&trusts ) Herrera after ignoring him. If Herrera doesn't provide the magic people will say its a bad call but you can't really expect him just to turn it on.

Rooney has had 4 months of terrible performances and only now does LVG see it.

Better late than never, and glad he's taken the decision, but won't be blaming Herrera if it doesn't work

Good you have made your mind up, the next few weeks are important for him, I dont think two games will make make anyone change their opinion unless we are on the end of two hammerings.

I think it's too big a game for him to chance resting his form players as well. I think Rooney has definitely been dropped.

Still think the Stoke game is bigger at this point.. if he loses today he's gone full stop.. he will lose the last of his backers. He knows that too.. Rooney seems to be the only one "rested" so I reckon he was dropped..

Oh btw the lads were wondering where their pics are :pac:

LvG has no business resting players here, his job is on the line. He has to win this match today.

We have a thin squad in fairness. Rooney probably won't last 2 games in 74 hours and neither will Carrick. I think Rooney will come in and so will Schneiderlin against Chelsea. Is Schweinsteiger back on Monday? Wouldn't be surprised to see Herrera dropped on Monday and Schweiny back in if he is.

If Herrera is as good as people say he is then yes I expect him to turn it on

Given a chance, if he does well he certs himself for the Chelsea game

I'm wearing my Xmas jumper today. They MIGHT get lucky on Monday.

EDIT: If United win today, I'll post a pic on Monday!

This is more exciting than any United performance to this season.

What form players? I dont think we have any.

Id make an exception for martial. to score in this setup at such a young age he is doing well.

And even if he doesn't he should be allowed to play his way back into form.

What do people make of rooneys body language?

See yis on the other side in the core reactor for this week's meltdown.

another nail in the coffin im afraid to say

Korat

Good afternoon folks. Hope you all had a great day yesterday.

Headshot

He has to go, for the good of club and getting CL football again. He has to go.

ElChe32

God we are absolute muck.

Hococop

That's him gone I'd say

sky88

Think that's that not a chance this team can come back.

Memphis has been a disaster today

Yeah, Depay needs to be sold.

Our lads looking like they are playing football for the first time. Stoke are good but United can't string two passes together, can't even ground/settle the ball to get some passes going.

hogandrew

Was just looking on oddschecker and a few bookies seem to have suspended betting on lvg being the next manager sacked

Leroy42

Guys, are we not meant to stay away from commenting on the match, isn't that what the match thread is for?

tayto lover

I don't like to see this happening to United as I always admired their strength and resilience but some of those players are letting down their club. It all can't be laid at LVG's door. This is going to be hard to fix.

J. Marston wrote: »

Your going over board now.

He is still young and in a new league/country. He needs time and I dont think LVG is helping by sucking all the confidence out of the team

SlickRic

The players have given up; stopped fighting.

He's done.

José will be in by New Year's Day.

Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up 5-2 4-2 or something like that. Can see us scoring ane conceding again

The fact that this is what we are aiming toward again is an indictment in itself.

I'm not even getting annoyed any more.

Sad state of affairs when this is expected.

I agree the players have given up on him.

Who was the notetaker in the stand?

Yap its said state of affairs unfortunately.

I saw it coming after the summer transfer window

Alex Meier

That's a disgrace from Martial

Well that's the final nail in the coffin for me. Everything is just terrible at the minute. I think a lot of these players will be sold too. I think we're in a worse position now than we were under Moyes as a lot of these players have underperformed consecutively under two managers. The league position may be better but I don't think the squad is that much better. We can blame LVG for a lot of this mess but a lot of these players aren't fit to wear the jersey.

Jose will be a disastrous appointment again in a years time we will all be here again. There's a reason he falls out with nearly every team he's managed.

It's just a worrying time tbh.

Korat

Woodward out.

Have they? They never really started playing to give up. Outside of Smalling, Schneiderlin and Martial everyone else varies from pathetic to just not good enough.

Difference being he usually wins silverware before he leaves.

The state the club is in at the moment, I find it unbelievable that people don't think Mourhino would be a good appointment. Needs must and all that.

Yeah it's particularly worrying seeing so many fans pining for what would be such a toxic appointment. The only hope you could have for Jose is that he really has learned massive lessons from Real Madrid and Chelsea but he always blames everyone else.

how.gareth

Just keeps going downhill, performances and results are getting worse, morale in the team and fans is miserable. We need a change in management and pray that we can stop the slide. Depay and martial have the ability but at the moment for whatever reason they are not showing it

i wonder did Fellaini finish his dinner yesterday?!

But that isnt really fair on Jose.

Inter players adored Jose and id be surprised of Porto players didnt feel the same

RobbingBandit

Toxic football who or what can fix this mess?

Is Cathy board of Alex hanging around the gaff yet?
