LVG has always been known for his weird subs and position changes but what the fuck was today?

Take off Rashford and replace him with Ashley Young who has just come back from a very long term injury and has only played up top ONCE in the U21s. Meanwhile Anthony Martial a striker is stood on the left side which is ironically the position that Young made his name in!!!!

Not only this but he continued with Mata in the right position for 70 MINUTES. Despite him not doing a single thing positive in that position!! And who has also played that position this season.. Ashley Young...

I'm so confused, If a game summed up our season it would be this one!! 81 Days till Mourinho guys.. 81 days...

It must just be an ongoing joke at this point.

He'll probably write up a 4chan greentext at the end of the season laughing at how he managed to get away with so much crazy shit without getting sacked

be me

be LVG

Surely I'll get found out soon, how am I still even allowed in this chair?

My notes are crossword puzzles ffs

Okay, need a win for Top 4

Putting too many people to sleep, need a sub

Young at striker, keep Tony on the wing. Wouldn't want to frighten my man Hugo

TFM is too horny, needs a replacement

We keep letting our players get away with murder.

Swapping the striker with a no.10/winger is NOT why we conceded 3 goals.

The gameplan was keeping Spurs pretty fucking quiet. The bumbling defending on that 1st goal was an individual mistake, not a tactical one.

The mentally crumbling after going 1-0 down was not a tactical mistake.

Fuck these players. I can deal with them being technically shit but I can't stand them being this mentally weak.

So mind the Ajax flair but United is my team away from home. I've been one of the biggest supporters of van Gaal throughout the whole of this season. One of the last fans still supporting him at this point. But today was just fucking insane and I am at a point where I don't give a flying fuck if he loses the job. You want to bring Ashley Young on at half? Good call! But don't fucking play him as a fucking striker. He has 0 ability to hold up the ball, is far slower and worse in the air than Rashford who he replaced. Take a chance to win the game and take off Jesse "always plays it safe" Lingard. The guy isn't bad, but he sure as fuck isn't good either. He isn't going to win you a game. Take a chance when you go one down and put Memphis on. Yeah, he's been inconsistent, but he does have the ability to make something happen on his own. Michael fucking Carrick. Look, I get he is important to the club, brings experience and what not, but he is so far over the hill. He doesn't even pass the ball well anymore and he is slower than my fucking grandmother who has been dead for over 5 years. LvG finally makes some positive changes after the game is long gone and United are 3 goals down. United needed to win. Make those fucking changes when it is tied at nil. Take a risk. If we gave up 3 playing an unbalanced, attacking game, then so be it. But this was fucking pathetic. I know it's late on but today was the straw that broke this camel's back.

Spot on, couldn't have said it better myself. People act as if we don't need to buy a number 10 because we have players like Lingard, Herrera and Mata (and some even include Peirera). Couldn't be more wrong. We need a De Bruyne, an Erikson, someone to fucking transfer the ball from midfield to attack without passing it sideways, backwards, or straight up losing the ball. Average team, average players (excluding Martial and De Gea), average performances. Oh, and a shit manager

[–]JamesakaNoah 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was on your side as well for a long time. I admire him so much for his achievements with the Dutch, he was able to make players better than they were. That makes a big difference between good and awesome managers. Sadly, at this point he is making players play worse. It hurts me to see Memphis play and believe he is actually one of the people hurt most by LvG.

[–]eternali17 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Thanks for that on Lingard. He might not be scoring a hat-trick o own goals daily but he's not winning anyone any matches either because he excels at nothing, not one thing. Carrick needs to change his mindset or get moved on quickly. He doesn't show for the ball and when he does get it he's so ponderous it hurts. His game was never predicated on physical attributes so he doesn't get that excuse. He just looks so timid he reminds of Cleverley at the end.

Exactly my thoughts. What the fuck was Young doing as a striker while Martial was playing on the left? Mata was absolute shit as well. Van Gaal is fucking clueless.

[–]TheLannister_ 14ポイント15ポイント  (10子コメント)

The saddest thing is Ed may stick with Van Gaal next season. Van Gaal is the biggest culprit, but Ed Woodward is part of the guilty company too.

In the 'real world', Ed Woodward would have been sacked by now. The stock plunges, the performance of the team goes down the toilet. The fact that he did not sack this clown yet, is an indication of a weak -VERY WEAK- C.E.O.

[–]tamasuperstarDe Gea 5ポイント6ポイント  (5子コメント)

Yeah but lets not pretend that Ed Woodward isn't incredible at the other side of his job, the business side. Because that's the reason he's still here, whether you agree with that or not (I don't).

[–]bigumbrella 5ポイント6ポイント  (2子コメント)

Then we need a director of football. Because Ed Woodward the business genius soon won't be able to keep making money off this terrible team that Ed Woodward the football man is incapable of fixing.

[–]LDN2016 30ポイント31ポイント  (19子コメント)

Mata was pathetic on attack. Young's sub was crazy but may have even worked if someone was threading through balls.

Meanwhile right now Kagawa is running the show in the derby, asbolutely dominating vs Schalke and just scored this goal: https://streamable.com/9yz7

Kagawa is now on 16 goals + assists from 21 starts (4 subs) this season.

[–]cristiano10sMartial 4ポイント5ポイント  (2子コメント)

Hernandez scored as well, didn't he. So many of the players we let go have had great seasons, which only rubs salt in the wounds. I understood we had some past-it deadwood, but letting the likes of Kagawa and Hernandez go was foolish, and hurts so much more when you see Young up front and Lingard at CAM

[–]LDN2016 2ポイント3ポイント  (1子コメント)

26th goal of the season. He's one of the top 10 strikers in the world this season. He's been creating a lot and has been incredibly dangerous outside the box as well.

[–]wakey87433Mata 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I'm guessing Rashford picked up a knock. And I can understand why he wouldn't want to move Martial up top because he offers a threat from wide where as Youngs threat from the left is more putting crosses in which doesn't play to Martials best streangths as a striker.

You needed someone with more pace and tricks than Young to be able to move Martial up top and sadly Memphis lacks the workrate defensively and also is still largely ineffective when running at defenders as he more often than not gets bullied off the ball still against PL FB's

[–]Saf94 3ポイント4ポイント  (2子コメント)

For all LVG's faults I don't really think this loss was his fault. I highly doubt if Rashford had stayed on we'd have scored when we were creating nothing (bar that Martial run) or we wouldn't have crumbled after the goal. The truth is there's fundamental problems with this squad, no creativity and no world class players/matchwinners and no leaders at the back

[–]TheLannister_ 5ポイント6ポイント  (0子コメント)

If Leicester doesn't teach you anything than nothing will ever will. They certainly do not have a world class player. We have a few of creative players, it's how you deploy and use them.

The fundamental problem is the manager, his so called philosophies and his inability to respond to his opponent's tactic.

He should and could have brought in Herrera, patch the midfield because we were outrun by the end of the first half as they started to exploit our right area. Fosu Mensah was directed to bombard just like he did at Everton with Mata staying back to cover <-- if this tactic doesn not sound wrong, I don't know what is.

[–]kiacMartial 1ポイント2ポイント  (1子コメント)

I think everyone, especially commentators, get way to stuck on positions rather than roles. I had a little giggle in the match thread when someone claimed Lingard doesn't have the passing ability to be a 10 at United... well obviously, that's not why he's playing centrally. For one, apart from Mata's run earlier this year United have rarely ever used an actual playmaking #10. Lingard's there to press and win the ball high up the park, which he did do quite well today. Alli plays a similar role for Spurs, win the ball in the forward half, find pockets of space, get in behind. I think Lingard's effort was just let down by how poor our passing was between the front three all game, just lazy really, a lot of indecision and no real flow going forward.

Mata, well I suppose the idea was to drag Rose inside where he is quite uncomfortable and get TFM around the outside because Erikson doesn't cover. Happened once early I think but other than that Mata was really ineffectual and there should have been a change at half time. I think Young comes on up front one because Martial was getting some reward out of Walker (which paid off when he should have put us ahead and probably avoided the collapse), two because Martial (and Rashford) is not getting that kind of space to run at players in the middle, so he's just put Young there to play with his back to goal. Really hope Rooney's ready I think we've been asking too much of Rashford, Young not suited to that role and Martial has the unavoidable x-factor coming in from the left.

Game was lost when you can only create a rare chance and then miss, and just incompetent defending for 5 minutes where they were completely asleep. I don't know how you combat that on the team sheet, even Townsend was complimenting how well set up we were, then it just falls apart. Darmian comes on for TFM who wasn't great in the first place. First one he's asleep and lets Eriksen waltz in behind, then gives away a foul getting second to the ball and the third he has to block the cross, where he's let the ball go across just made it too easy for them.

You're going to play up front on your own against two of the best central defenders in the league."

I'm generally ok with his experiment nature, even though I'm very much pro-Mourinho, but fucking hell, what in the ever loving fuck was that? Not to mention Lingard and Mata playing in swapped roles made worse by the fact Mata was clearly instructed to play back and cover for/with TFM, something he isn't known for and that Lingard is actually quite capable of. The front four today was fucking retarded.

While it's kinda true, and kinda devastating, it's also kinda light at the end of the tunnel. Sure, we all feel horrible now, but at some point, the majority of Shaw, Fosu-Mensah, Martial, Rashford, Memphis and a few others will properly come of age, as reliable first-teamers, and that's something that definitely won't pay off this season. The experience they'll get this season will pay off in the future.

Currently, it's silly how bare the squad is, and how we have to rely on young player x, and young player y, but that will pay dividends in the future.

Not just that but after two years of mismanagement we're also relying on two players up front who both made their debut this year and are far too young to perform consistently over a season. And that's after selling three strikers and sending another out on loan. Absolute shocking mismanagement.

And yes, people say "blah blah not world class blah too old blah" but fuck me, are you saying that any of the strikers we've let go wouldn't be an upgrade over Ashley fucking Young?!?

Darmian was useless. He watched errikson walk past. He fouled for the second and then lost Rose for the third.

[–]tocitusMemphis 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Mate Rojo was more at fault than Darmian.

Rojo doesn't cover after Smalling and Blind do their comical collision and so Alli is completely free in the centre for Eriksen's early cross. What was Darmin supposed to do? Go tight on Eriksen? That just leaves a massive gap in the centre that Eriksen can run into.

Second goal - he gives away a free-kick but come on man, it was poor marking by Rojo on Alderweireld.

Third goal - comes from his side but Rojo loses Lamela completely.

TFM was excellent, even if his task did mean Mata had no threat in attack.

Young, a left wing specialist, upfront when we have an excellent striker on the left sums up LVG's substitutions.

The fact we fell apart so easily is the worst though, no fight from anyone, and LVG persists sitting down on the bench believing that the players know the plan for every situation. That is not modern management and it's not what this club is about. This club fights all the way to the end. For Van Gaal, it is the end.

Take nothing away from Spurs - they've been by far the better side both today and this season. And I'd argue that they are stronger at every position.

That said, it's embarrassing for us to be so reliant on an 18 year-old academy product with 1 previous PL start to his name. He goes off and 8 minutes later we've conceded 3 goals, all from the flank he was on. I love that this club promotes youth and gives fair chances to youth players, but to be so consistently reliant on players like Rashford, Martial, Lingard, and today, Fosu-Mensah, just shows how much wrong LVG has got in his tenure. We should not capitulate when a virtually untested 18 year-old goes off injured.

[–]Pedantic_PatFan Favourite David De Gea 31ポイント32ポイント  (3子コメント)

Bringing on Young instead of Memphis was just laughable. Ashley Young up front? Fuck off. We're giving Memphis all the opportunities to fuck up his talent.

At this stage, the Jose announcement can't come soon enough. If we're waiting for top 4 to be impossible like with Moyes to save some money, think about every player we're going to try to sign this summer and what they're thinking. A proper plan needs to be laid out.

I'm getting annoyed at how our goal seems to be to pass it to someone standing at the top of the penalty area who is covered by 3 people.

The same old shite yet again. Utterly, utterly pathetic. We had a chance of getting within one point of City but you'd think we were in mid table with nothing to play for after that complete joke of a performance. We created one chance the entire game and that was completely down to Martial's individual brilliance. Defensively we were abysmal.

I'm so fucking sick of LVG's fetish of playing players out of position. Ashley Young up front when you have Martial in the team is a laughable decision. As is playing Mata out wide when you have Lingard in the team. It's basically trying to fit square pegs into round holes when you have round pegs right next to you. I doubt it would have made a difference in the result today but there's just no logic to it.

Fosu-mensah was the one positive of the game. He showed more in that game than Darmian has all season as far as I'm concerned. The positivity that all the players coming from the youth system have makes me wonder why the whole team can't play like that.

It's a fucking embarrasment that the best case scenario for this season now is 4th with no trophies and even that's looking very unlikely now. Pochettino will be telling his players 'Lads it's United' next season if we something major doesn't change in this football club.

[–]whydoyouonlylie 6ポイント7ポイント  (3子コメント)

The positivity that all the players coming from the youth system have makes me wonder why the whole team can't play like that.

My theory on this is that they haven't been corrupted by Van Gaal's philosophy when they break into the team so they play a completely different style of football than what he has ingrained into the senior players. When did Martial/Rashford play their best football for United? In their first 3 or 4 games when they were only being introduced to training with the senior team. After Van Gaal took them under his wing their performances dropped.

Don't get me wrong, they're still good players but they are nowhere near the level they were when they broke into the first team. And I believe that's all down to Van Gaal's training and tactics destroying talented players.

What in the actual fuck does LvG think of?

[–]mufcirclejerk 12ポイント13ポイント  (4子コメント)

The good:

  1. Fosu Mensah again impressive
  2. Lingard, Martial, and Rashford showed some good interplay in the first half
  3. I didn't travel to the game
  4. The myth of Blind being a worthy first choice centre back should finally be dispelled
  5. We didn't lose 5-0, which we easily could have
  6. We probably won't finish fourth now and I'm ~80% confident that LVG will be sacked if we don't
  7. Our fans turned up on time
  8. A plane did not crash into the stadium and kill any of the players, fans, or staff of either club
  9. We are 90 minutes closer to winning a trophy at some point over the next quarter of a century

The bad:

  1. Blind will still be a first choice centre back for the rest of this season
  2. Fosu Mensah injured
  3. Rashford injured
  4. Rojo plays first team football for Manchester United and nobody seems to question it
  5. We brought on Ashley Young to play as centre forward in a must-win game
  6. Another game totally passed Carrick by
  7. LVG will be our manager until the end of the season because it's still mathematically possible that we can get fourth
  8. LVG might not be sacked if we finish fifth and win the FA Cup
  9. Depay looked bobbins when he came on (again)

Surely Memphis or Martial are better options than ASHLEY YOUNG up top eh Louis? Thought the game was up for grabs until the 70th minute, but then we straight up imploded. A day to forget for sure, but I still believe top four is well within reach. Hope TFM injury isn't serious as he was easily our best player today.

LVG's tricking us into his delusion. Have our standards ever been lower? It should never be okay for United to have so many games without shots, adventure or anything of the sort. That should never be okay. Those three behind the striker were all out of position and played like it. Nothing into the box , nothing into space and a back-from-injury winger failing to hold up the ball. He could De Gea up front if he wants to, as long as it works. Nothing has, he must reap that as well.

  1. Erisken is everything I hoped Mata would be. It's incredible how often Mata gets showed up by actual creative players

  2. I'm glad Memphis looked like he gave a shit unlike our manager.

  3. Fuck everything.

Also, Rashford chose the worst of times to have a poor game. Rooney is about to be back to full fitness and I think LVG will be mad most of our starters after this match.

We capitulated after TFM went off. And inb4 LVG blames the traffic

[–]merlin318 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

Cant wait for this fraud to leave. Absolute fuck all team. Talks so much about balance but plays an attacking midfielder as almost a wingback, a featherweight winger as striker, a youngster who is a much better striker is left on the wing and an extremely poor Lingard in a free role. Ive never wanted to punch an old man so hard.

[–]thabooshkaManchester United 3ポイント4ポイント  (0子コメント)

Absolute shocking display. We were in a good position at half time and then for the life of me I cannot figure out the substitutions LVG makes. Ashley Young substitution was fucking awful. Not bringing on Herrera was also a mistake for sure, Mata was useless. Then after the goal furry he brings on Memphis for an absolutely useless 15 minutes. The poor lad had to watch Ashely Young be subbed on before him after Young hasn't played in a long time. In my opinion this was our worst display of the season. Other than a couple great runs by our youngsters we had nothing going forward and could not keep up any sort of sustained pressure. I know he won't be sacked after this game, by fuck me if this doesn't further solidify his departure this summer.

I don't even know why the fuck we play Rojo. He's a shit left back. He's a center back and that's it. Literally every game that Borthwick-Jackson has played this year at left back he's played better than Rojo does. He's just as solid defending and provides much more threat in attack.

It should be BJ and FM as our full backs instead of Rojo and Darmian.

Van Gaal plays the right winger at attacking mid, the striker at left wing, the left wing at striker, and the attacking mid at right wing.

What the fuck kind of substitution was that? A winger who has been injured for MONTHS being subbed in as our lone striker. Why? Why? Why? Why? It makes zero fucking sense in the first place and it makes zero fucking sense the fact that Martial was already playing and could be easily pushed into ST role. What the fuck dude...

TFM was the bright spot but he went off injured.

I've been advocating for LVG out since December so this has not really changed my stance. I've become numb to this mediocrity.

[–]tehforsh 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

I really want to like LvG, I really do. He has genuinely done some positive things for the club and some bright ideas - the problem is he's made twice as many atrocious decisions as well. Blind has been a great step-in defender (though yes today he made some bad mistakes, but remember how good he was last game), Martial has been fantastic, though the young-uns were forced in they've been managed very well, a lot of the dead wood has gone (though i'd have kept 1 or 2 until we had proven players in their position...).

However, the team selection has been absolutely atrocious at times. Today has been ridiculous. Mata and Lingard are in the wrong position. The Rashford/Martial combo worked quite well when we didn't have a decent winger, so we had to use Martial - but with Young and Valencia back there is no excuse. TFM at RB over Darmian did appear to work well this game, but it was a big gamble with so much at stake. Rojo is in a poor run of form and should have been dropped. Then the stupid out-of-place substitutions ... what is going on?

I'm still not convinced Mourinho is the best manager for the club, as i'm worried he'll burn us out like he did Chelski .. but LvG HAS to go and Mou is the best manager available.

LVG has made some strange calls in his time, but playing a winger in centre forward, a centre forward on the wing, a winger in number 10, a number 10 on the wing... None of it makes sense!

Have to give it to TFM today... He was a class act. Really fell apart down that side, 2 goals from open play when he came off.

I really cannot wait to see the back of LVG

Aside from losing, the most frustrating thing to me is that it seems like LVG is still messing around with positions.

WTF with the changes at the half? Was Fosu-Mensah really that integral prior to the injury? After Darmian came on, it was as if Spurs said, "hey, we can exploit that back line now..."

[–]Rylingo 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

That was brutally bad. One of the worst games yet. We never looked like winning it.

I just don't get Van Gaal's positional choices. Playing a right winger in the number 10 role and a number 10 player on right wing is just weird. It's no surprise all those goals came down the right side. When I saw Young warming up I assumed he'd be coming on for Mata but instead we subbed off our striker for a winger and played the winger up front. If he had some secret set play for Young to do that's cool and all but no service meant he was isolated anyway.

Blind is erratic as ever. Fantastic in the last game, attrocious in this one. Completely outpaced and at times I swear his mind was elsewhere. Rojo didn't even bother challenging for the second goal. Sometimes I think he doesn't care.

Fosu was the only player who came out of this looking good.

[–]kabz95 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

The less risk in our play, the fewer the chances created. The fewer the chances created the fewer the shots on goal. The lower the shot count, the fewer the goals. And without goals you simply can't win the game. LVG should've left time ago.

[–]Bey_Harbor_Butcher 1ポイント2ポイント  (0子コメント)

United should do the same thing City did - get the new manager tied down to a contract before he changed his mind.

If the club keeps stalling and loses out on Mourinho, who can still go back to Inter, I fear for the future. Miss out on Mourinho and the club's management will bitterly regret it. It's insane to even think Giggs can be a manager of a club as big as United.

[–]opacino 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

I don't even know what is worse, feeling bad for some of our fans that had hope about today, or feeling sorry for some that still believe in LVG like /u/theAwakened

At the end of the day, this is a very predictable result. I made a thread about how we tend to have bad results every 2-3 games. If we don't get knocked out by West Ham, which is highly plausible, then our next third game is against Leicester. Expect us to look impressive against Villa and have a dour win against CP.

We should accept that we have failed as a club. LVG has spent money woefully and the team is weaker than last season. Ironically the story of the game is how Spurs dodged a huge bullet in not signing LVG as their manager. Pochettino has come in with limited funds and built a team that plays like a team and has the right balance of experience and youth. I said to someone on this sub that Dele Alli has had a more impressive season than Martial and will probably win the young PFA award over Martial. As usual was downvoted.

We can't feign ignorance over this loss. We faced MK Dons in LVG's first season and Dele Alli destroyed us. Yet we did nothing. We faced Leicester in LVG's first season and Vardy and Mahrez destroyed us. Yet LVG did nothing. Not saying that we shouldn't have gone for Martial, but there is talent that we just ignore and waste millions on buying players to be moulded into diff positions.

LVG has actually tarnished the image of the club. Only mercenaries will consider coming here. Every player has regressed under LVG with the exception of Blind, Smalling and De Gea. It's a bit of a shame but most fans on here wanted this end result so this is what it means when you downvote folks that disagree with you, you end up being confused and saddened that champions league is out of our hands.
