What we need is for the back four to remain a back four and for Rafael and Shaw to stop getting caught so high up the pitch, they are simply not good enough for that role. If we keep the discipline at the back then that midfield will be more than comfortable. |

I agree we need defenders whose primary responsibility is to defend, though rafael is a good wing supplement, but the problem with that midfield above is that herrera and di maria are attacking midfielders at best. a tight midfield of valencia-carrick-blind with herrera in front of them, di maria free to roam either wing and one striker would be a far better set up. personally, I would pick rooney and tell him to stay the £#%&! up front (and hope he finishes better than for england).
if fletcher or fellaini gets anywhere near the team against chelsea or city, van gaal should resign. |

He is still banned. We know RVP will start. So not sure why people are just dropping him from the line up. And most like falcao will start too. We are not going to drop him after getting him on loan for a year at such a high price.
Hope its --------carrick--------blind--------Herrera---- --------van persie---falcao-----di maria---- |

As much as I like mata you can see why Maureen got shot of him(and for top money too)but that's what world class managers do as I think LVG will even if it's unpopular with a fans favourite as he is here and was at chelski.
I'd be surprised if he is still here next season but the greater good of the team is needed and we can't afford luxury players these days Italy or Spain suits mata and he will do well over there |

Fair play to Fellaini he gave us a bit of much needed steel in midfield that you need against the west brom,Stoke and West Ham type teams away from home.(which herrera and mata did not)
Chelski though is a different ball game he could have a good game or just give fouls away and get sent off. |

Mata would benefit from a more mobile side around him, if he's going to be (inevitably) slow, then the rest of them need to compensate. He's not magically going to get quicker is he.
Unfortunately none of our forward line, Di Maria aside, have any kind of pace. So even though his scoring record is comparable to any of the attackers since he joined & he's made a decent amount of assists everyone looks at the price tag & wants more. Not sure you can blame anyone for that, for £37m I want to see some magic from the little chap. I don't want to see him leave, but unless you stick a pacey, attacking forward to his right & a more mobile forward than van Persie in front of him it's more of the same. |

the last fk we scored from was shit as well tbh and should have been caught never mind just saved
mata scored a beauty last season at newcastle iirc amazing how often the top players balloon them over the bar - or in some cases miss the target wide by about 6ft. No doubt it's cus they're aiming for postage stamp, a particular spin on the ball or for an exact trajectory over a particular point of the wall etc |

Both correct. I almost feel bad for Mata, he seems like such a lovely bloke but the truth is, he is not a good fit for the side and what LVG is trying to do. He will probably be sold in the summer or maybe even January, I just hope he goes back to Spain and we treat the guy with a bit of class. |

I agree I think Tony adds some bit to the midfield. Herrera is so good with the ball at his feet he should be further up the pitch, and Di Maria can then roam a bit and play off Rooney (don't you dare £#%&!ing drop into midfield) or Falcao. Will never happen though. I thought Tony was excellent in midfield fwiw. |
