I don't mind what he's doing with Jones. We've heard for a while now how good he is. The greatest manager and the best footballer Britain has produced both tell us he's a special all-round talent. LvG is putting him under pressure to prove it. Not letting him have it easy, making him take responsibility. If you're such a great footballer, let's see it. Lots being asked of him on the ball, and at the moment he's making a mockery of those who praised him so highly. Shown faith and given responsibility by the manager, tonight he looked like he was wearing the wrong shirt. I don't think his future is in immediate danger, but if he does get bombed out the club he can have no complaints. |

He won't last here as he hasn't got the ability required on the ball for a Van Gaal side. He'll probably end up being a decent centre-back somewhere else, but Van Gaal will go out and buy a player than can play out from the back line, and likely partner him with Rojo.
Compare the distribution of Jones to Rojo, and it's so obvious which one is more comfortable in this system. In fact, I'm not sure there is a player in world football less suited to a Van Gaal team than Phil Jones. |

I do think the set-up of the side tonight was a bit weird, but the basic mistakes he made in possession were inexcusable. |

Ps - Rojo's distribution = good. Really? |

Agreed regarding the shitness of all our defenders, tbh. I blame Fergie for that, too. The job he did replacing Rio and Vidic (and Evra) was shambolic. We haven't had a consistently good right-back since Gary Neville, either. A mess. :shakehead: |

Corners, more touches than anyone else at times, he is giving Jones every chance to prove he's a footballer |
