I thought Valencia was okay vs Southampton. Defensively didn't have much trouble and he got past Bertrand quite a bit. His final ball is constantly shit though.
Rafael hasn't impressed since his return from injury too. Therefore I'm not suprised we're linked with a RB.
Don't think I'd start both Blind and Carrick in midfield. I would drop one in favour of Fellaini.

Yeah I mean thats really not mata's fault though.
As people have said, for various reasons. a) you need to play centrally b) you need runners.
Man U have provided him with none of those things. Which is why I asked the question I did .
i cant breathe
that's a Murcielago (the predecessor of the current Aventador)
It looks amazing but it's an awful AWFUL ride, you literally can't see anything behind you, and it has nothing to do with how low it is, you just...can't :lol Italian cars are just good to look at really
Kinda like Italian models
it's quite unfortunate but the Ferrari is a proper PROPER car, cunts
End of an era.
They weren't really together
2009 or 2010 Valencia would have abused Bertrand for 90 minutes. This shell of a man that we have just beat him a few times and then the end product was useless. Fellaini and Blind could work well but then I think you have to keep Blind as the more defensive role of the two. With Carrick and Blind the latter can do the more hard working role of starting the attacking and joining in. Plus their passing range is better.
Poor Kagawa was dead from the start. We brought him in to play as an AM behind Rooney and then Ferguson bought RVP. Clusterfuck.
Maybe it all part of their plan and they'll pull a Kaiserslautern, who knows?

He's played wide at Chelsea and was still able to influence games. We have runners in RVP and Falcao, and they make intelligent moves, but we still seem content to just move the ball wide to our wingbacks. Could be a tactical thing hampering him too I guess.
They'll get bullied physically tho.
I just hate that with the attacking talent we have, we struggle to create chances. The only focus seems to be to get it wide a hope a good cross comes in.
Fix it Gaal!
^Kagawa said we play too much on the wings. He knew.
Yeah, it was definitely a decision driven by sentimentality rather than by practicality.

I don't think it was a mistake - it would be a mistake to keep him on now.
Fletcher wanted to come back and the club helped him to try and do that. That he's even got to where he is now is kinda amazing and something he can be really proud of. He deserved that chance and I'm glad the club played their part.
Sadly he's lost more than he can recoup and now it's time to call it a day.

The Balon d'Orc ruins relationships
we need a manager of the modern age before we can change to a one striker system. I think its quite amazing that we went to it in 2009-2010.
he would of helped us out more by just retiring. Fergie would of had to go and buy another midfielder or promote a youngster. Most of us felt like he'd never recover that top form he was in.

On your first point, Van Gaal has played 433 for most of his managerial career.
On Fletcher - that's not his responsibility.
I suppose that's certainly true.
Ghost of Fergie, he's influenced two mangers who have played with one striker to change everything and play with two up front, and not just any two, but two men who are old and slow.
you're right it's not Fletchers responsibility but as a manger you have to fear the worst in that situation and anticipate. You cant sit back and hope he recovers and will be able to play the same. In the NFL the Kansas City Chiefs have a great player who just got diagnosed with Cancer. If you are the front office of that team you have to replace him. He's got a long road ahead of him, it could take years for him to recover and if he ever does will he be the same player. Can't take that chance.
I will take the list to Van Ghoul! Which way to Manchester?
Change to a 4-2-3-1 with him on the right, or switching wings with ADM/Januzaj. Strootman, Carrick as CMs, your choice of AMF.
one does not simply walk into Manchester,
There is evil there that does not sleep
We all know that the only place he has in his heart is for Fergie, now come back to us!

What's a good resource for foreigners to purchase Champions League tickets? I'm thinking of flying to Madrid and catching a game. Any links appreciated.

YES DICK
Not to the degree he ever was playing centrally, he was never really a match winner for cheslea out wide. This was realized quickly and played centrally for the majority of his best season to date.
I'm not being funny but although RvP has scored a few goals this season, but his movement is a shade of what it was in his first season for Man U. Falcao I havent seen enough of him to be honest to say.
But it's more to do with playing him centrally. Look at every single other playmaker that gets played out wide, there influence is lessened because you kill what the can see, the options they can take and the angles they can create.
