He used to seem like a principled guy but seems devoid of them in his simple punditry.
United were full of footballers passing sideways last season, what was he saying then? Blind plays very intelligently & is an asset to the side. Neville had a good season in 06/07 but made high profile mistakes in his career; it's aggravating to hear him preaching against defensive blunders when you remember his utterly stupid & pointless handball vs Bayern in 2010 in the away leg which brought them back into the game and tie ... |

As the deepest lying midfielder, the last thing Blind should be doing is making risky passes. That's what £37 million Trequartista Mata should be doing, but doesn't. United's front players in general do love a momentum killing sideways pass though. Maybe the penny hasn't dropped for LvG yet but United need to drastically up the speed of play in the final third. Not only is the current style of play ineffective, it's £#%&!ing boring to watch.

Problem is we're still not breaking fast enough. When you don't break fast, meaning not just foot speed but quick thinking, quick ball movement and runs made independant of the ball, you lose most of the advantages that particular passage of possession promises at the outset. The second we regain possession, particularly if it's deep, we should be on the move, quick and decisive. Keep the opposition midfield disjointed and the defence on the back foot half turned or facing their own goal. A defence that has time to organize and face away from goal is infinitely harder to break down, so why do we insist on slow build ups?
The best football United have played over the past twenty years have all had solid defending and quick breaking at it's core, from Kanchelskis and Giggs, through to Ronaldo and Rooney, and it's still a killer tactic as Liverpool proved last year. So why do we seem to have drifted away from it last few years, who knows? Maybe we don't have the personnel capable, or possession has trumped risk in our coaching methods. |

Blind is far too isolated when he is on the ball, look at the last 2 games, started with Mata and Fellaini against Chelsea, both of whom moved high up the pitch when Utd were in possession. They were often 30+ yards ahead of Blind, meaning that to find them he has to play a very risky pass which if intercepted creates an instant counter attacking opportunity. Similar circumstance against City, Rooney sat a little deeper but Blind is still too isolated. Even Carrick at his best needed players close to him to pop the ball off and keep it moving.
Fellaini out and play football rather than look for the Special teams player. |

Stop £#%&!ing lumping it. Stop playing Fellaini. Unless this is some Machiavellian shop window shit from Van Gaal. If there's no pace in the side then the football has to be more intricate, it's not possible to play intricate football with Fellaini, Rooney or Januzaj for various reasons (shit, shit touch & greedy). Basically there's a poor chemistry in the personnel at the moment, no one knits it together. The absolute 'team of individuals'. So Van Gaal needs to earn his corn by training them & quickly & buying a couple in January. One of them better not be that lummox Vlaar either. |
