Players with head injuries dont generally hold their ribs, wait for a whistle, lie down, wait for a whistle some more, realise theres no free then decide to hold their head

Nearly an own goal there, although would have been ruled out for Fellaini's handbags anyhow.

bangkok · 26-12-2015 2:29pm

what a player fellaini is

Neamhshuntasach · 26-12-2015 2:29pm

Stoke doing their best to score for United. That's been 3 nearly into their own net from attempted interceptions.

He got a bang in the ribs.
He's grand now - just soft

26-12-2015 2:29pm

Having to rely on Fellaini as an attacking option speaks volumes

Something for St. Stephens - read the rules.

I'd love to laugh at this but we know what's coming at 3 PM.

Alex Meier · 26-12-2015 2:30pm

Fellaini there. . . Where do you start with that?

Your team is losing 2-0, your manager is about to be sacked. . . You have a corner. . . I'll think I'll wrap my hands around the defenders head. . . yeah that'll do it.

LostBoy101 · 26-12-2015 2:30pm

I really hope we get rid of Fellaini. He is just useless.

raze_them_all_ · 26-12-2015 2:31pm

You know whats pathetic?? We all hated the 0-0's now we can only dream of a good result like that. ****ing hell

SantryRed · 26-12-2015 2:33pm

Fellaini should get a pair of chests stitched onto his feet. He'd be world class then.

For my Fantasy League team, I hope it is the Riyad Mahrez show.

Rooney is coming on .

Louis van Gaal's red army!

FutureGuy · 26-12-2015 2:34pm

Rooney being signalled to come on at ht.

Guys and gals. This is it. This is where it turns around. We win 4-2 and go on to win the league by 15 points.

Francie Barrett · 26-12-2015 2:34pm

Excellent work agent Van Gaal - report back into Anfield for further instruction for the second half.

RobertKK · 26-12-2015 2:35pm

If I was Louis I would take Fellaini off and put Rooney on, bad and all that Rooney has been.

He wouldn't have made a decent United team

Memphis off, martial left, rooney up top.

keith16 · 26-12-2015 2:35pm

Inexcusable really. All the money that's been spent and you have players playing out of position and with zero confidence or joy.

allthedoyles · 26-12-2015 2:35pm

Who would even care what Giggs is saying to LVG - No need to hide his lips .

0gac3yjefb5sv7 · 26-12-2015 2:35pm

Time to go LVG...I can't believe we can't create a chance. Watch any game today and there will be a few chances for each side. Even by just luck like.

OctavarIan · 26-12-2015 2:36pm

Losing 66-34 to Stoke, need a serious second half if we're gonna flip that around.

You mean where we DONT go on and win more like

Andre 3000 · 26-12-2015 2:36pm

Memphis Depay what on earth has happened to you....brutal

Lord TSC · 26-12-2015 2:36pm

Rooney on is a lose lose. He made it clear he left Rooney off for tactical reasons, so putting him on now makes it look like an admission he got that wrong. If Rooney performs well, it solidifies that. If Rooney doesn't, then LVG is probably fired.

Well done on most non-sensical post of the day and it's only 13:36

26-12-2015 2:37pm

If lvg takes off the wrong player for Rooney I'm gonna be pissed. Depay or Fellani should be clearly the only players that should be picked

Andersonisgod · 26-12-2015 2:38pm

Stoke have done well but haven't had to be anywhere near as exhilarating as they were against Man City a few weeks ago. Two horrendous defensive errors from Depay and Young (coupled with an incredible strike by Arnautovic) has given Stoke a 2-0 lead.

Man Utd, aware of what happened to Man City here, have not pressed and have compressed the middle of the pitch to stop Bojan and Shaqiri from picking up space in front of the back four which they did to devastating effect against City. The result is that Man Utd have struggled to win the ball back in dangerous areas. When Man Utd have gained possession they've been far too reliant on long balls to Fellaini, who is being well marshalled both by the Stoke team and the wind swirling around the Britannia. At times, Carrick and Herrera have resembled training dummies, such is their lack of involvement in Man Utd's build up play.

Yeah, it is like saying Liverpool are losing because Klopp wants Liverpool to finish beneath United.

Tomagotchye · 26-12-2015 2:39pm

Stoke have been excellent. I think Hughes is a brilliant manager. I would drop affeley for diouf and have bojan no. 10 though

United look terrible. Says a lot there is nothing on their bench

The space Bojan creates by dropping deep gives Arnautovic so much space to make those outside to in runs that have troubled Man Utd.

py2006 · 26-12-2015 2:43pm

A new shade of sh1te...

madcabbage · 26-12-2015 2:43pm

Maybe Rooney might be in a better position now, p*ssed off from being dropped. He always played better when angry.

Yeah it's all down to La Masia really isn't it? :rolleyes:

26-12-2015 2:44pm

Regardless of what lvg does this is a huge 45 minutes for Rooney

His form has been awful but getting dropped I hope has a positive effect, if he cares enough he should be fuming with what he's watching

If he's our captain its up to him to grab this game by the scruff of the neck and drive the team back into this game
