Of all of last seasons fuck ups, the most costly was losing Vidic. He wasn't as good as he used to be, but he's still a leader. We have none in defence now.

Vidal would be an excellent signing, you can tell that guys a boss just by looking at him. He's like Roy Keane 2.0
 
Dunno why he thinks we have enough competent centre backs to keep playing three every week :lol

And we don't have any fucking wing backs whatsoever.

We do have wing backs, but they are injured.

The centre halves, it's not just about being competent. It's about knowing the role. Some of our players clearly do not.

People are over-reacting. Like I said it's an awful game but you can't just immediately claim it's all the formations problem. You saw the game, we lost 4-0 to MK Dons, do you honestly think the main reason is the formation? A 433 would have made that big a difference?

But we didn't have the personnel then. That's like saying "I'm going to sign Messi, I will play with Hernandez as false nine while I wait."

I've got no doubt we'll continue to play 3-5-2 on occasion. I think we'll be playing 4-3-3 as well, once all our buys (if there is more) are done.
He was after, from what we know, players like Vermaelen who could play in that system, wasn't he?

Remember the Barca 3-4-3 days

You're so fucked

we play better with the 3-4-3 than under the 4-3-3 to be honest. The 3-4-3 is closer to our 4-2-3-1, we have players who fit better in those kind of formations.

Still, obviously, he isn't going to win shit with it. I really think this will be his last season

352 won't work.

The players may not be ready for a 433 but they sure as hell don't seem ready for a 352 system either.

I want a change.

Louie pls.

He should do a lot of things. How is Vermaelen not replaced yet? Why is Carvalho not an Arsenal player already? Why we so dependant on Giroud in the first place?

No we don't. We have wingers and full backs. We don't have dedicated players in the squad who have played in the wing back position before and done all that it entails, covering the entire flank by themselves.

And I'm not reacting to the formation change as the reason we lost, it was far more than that. You said the formation was staying, I said I think he'd switch to 4-3-3 if we had all our injuries back and if we make another signing. Didn't say "get rid of it because of tonight", that's the others m8

We lost because the personnel was dire and it didn't help when Wilson came on and it seemed no one knew where they were supposed to be playing. Pereira as wing back, Adnan in the centre, Wilson on the other wing? Nominally that might have been it, but I couldn't tell.

I want Wilson ahead of Hernandez in the pecking order. Think Chich needs to be sold for his own good. Not even half as good as he was a few years ago. Needs a change of scenery.

Yes.

I'm not saying we won't be playing 3-5-2. I'm sure we will be playing both.

The reason all the teams are playing 3-5-2 is because it isn't one they're comfortable with, and 4-3-3 is one. If you want to be tactically flexible and play both formations, clearly more work is needed on the one that we don't play, and at youth level where winning isn't imperative that seems like a good idea to do so.

Right. We are in agreement on this.

I asked why are you against getting Falcao on loan.
I answered this already. Wenger won't spend the money required and get Carvalho it's one or the other. I prefer Carvalho. Young, strong and can beef up our fragile midfield and play CB.

Falcao is our entire cl budget for just 1 season.

Realistically how bad can it get for United from here?
You'll have to wait until the transfer window closes before we can give you a proper answer. Even then I think a lot of us expect things to continue at a low ebb for the next few months.

We should have money for both.

No excuse.

So far this season we've only looked good when the team changed to a 433 (against Swansea) imo.

I just don't think we have the right players for 352 to work. G.Nev also stated we needed specialist players to play in positions such as wingback.


Get Rojo a damn Work Permit and get Di Maria ready for the weekend. We need 3 points.

Chicha can score a few goals off his face for a different decent team, Serie A may be a good spot for him(regardless of this fucking annoying Vidal talk that should have been silenced already).

I really like Wilson.

English lads: what the fuck was going on at government level that allowed Rotheram to be completely ignored? This is on the scale of Irish govts turning a blind eye on paedophile preists.

Their excuse is that they thought people would think they were racist, so they just let people rape and assault children. Put me in the group of people that doesn't buy that excuse at all.

Inward looking communities not willing to sort themselves out, local government turning a blind eye for fear of being called racist, national government incompetent and police not giving a fuck. Perfect storm.

3 games.

Tonight's which you shouldn't even really count considering the personnel.

Just ridiculous knee-jerkiness.

At the moment its more of a 532. I doubt he'll change so soon and we'll see more of it, but imo I just don't think it'll work.

Hopefully I'm wrong :)

Desperate to see Lazar in action after his cameo the other night. Pace and great technique. Let's hope he has the required penetration.
