Manchester United est. 1878, Season 2015/2016

Playing well, think Schweinsteiger has been very poor on the ball but carrying out his defensive duties well.

Memphis looking sharp but he’s one of those players who always looks like he could do an awful more than he actually does.

Agreed it is a lot better from Memphis. He can still more hopefully gets a bit of confidence now. A forward line of depay, lingard and martial could be very good.

I think Herrera beside Bastian with Morgan in behind is our best midfield.

Brainless defending from Rojo.

They deserved it awful performance in the second half.

stupid cunt

Deeney scores the penp

Scwheinsteiger’s passing has been woeful.

OG or Schweinsteiger’s?

19 goals (including 2 own goals and 2 penalties) from 13 league games tells its own tale about the Louis Van Gaal brand of football. Even what are seemingly the most cherished and immovable of principles are there to be abandoned. There’s very little talk from the Man U supporters here any more about the ‘United Way’ they once seemingly held so dear.

Any idea when Man U last scored so few goals over the first 13 games of a league season? Relegation season of 1973/74 or 1986/87 possibly?

LVG is doing something right when he has the anti United brigade seething. :smile:

Won it in Fergie time too. :ronnyroar:

Great win in the circumstances - by the end of the game United were missing Shaw, Jones, Carrick, Herrera, Fellaini, Rooney and Martial.

De Gea :clap::clap::clap:

Definite OG.

Actually thought Schweinsteiger was very poor in the second half.

After professing that Van Gaal was going to restore the ‘United Way’ @dodgy_keeper continuing to do a Chemical Ali and completely ignore and dodge the issue of the poverty of the football and entertainment served up by the Van Gaal way. The best he can up with is Des Cahill style bumbling about ABU.

I saw the second half against Watford…they ran UTD off the park and were dreadfully unlucky not to score 2/3 goals. De Gea is top, top class…but Untied fans must be sick of this type of football.

They actually played well in the 1st half. Hererra going off injured and LVG switching to 3 at the back changed the game. Should’ve just brought on Darmian and pushed Young into midfield.

What a contrast in style it will be at Filbert Street on Saturday - the verve, attacking intent and cavalier attitude of free scoring Leicester City against the sterile, negative and one paced boring, boring Man United.

I don’t thunk it was anything to do with the shape of team, it was a mindset issue. United went a goal up early on and decided to see it out.

Intriguing top of the table clash between the top scorers and the meanest defence in the league.

I wouldn’t agree Nembo they did play well until after half time. People forget LVG laid the foundations for this Bayern team. Miguel done a decent piece on a few months ago. United are very good shape compared to 18 months ago.

They had plenty of chances to score a second before the penalty. Three at the back certainly doesn’t suit them as was evidenced last season, Vardy would have a field day if he played that formation on Saturday.
Agree on the mindset for the last 20 minutes, the difference in tempo for the 2-3 minutes after the equaliser was massive as would be expected.

David v Goliath stuff. 18 -v- 1 on the Premier League Rich table. Man U with £433.2 million turnover in 2014 to Leicester City’s £31.2 million.
