The last minute summed us up. Burst in to the box finally, stop, turn, pass backwards, crisis over, half time.

Change something up. Di Maria should be played as a winger. Play Fellaini centrally and give us something to cross to.

They've conceded 29 goals this season in the league in 25 games.

Also, if you insist on having the inswinger, give Valencia the ******* corner.

When you are playing with Phil jones as your playmaker you might as well put the cue in the rack.

Disgraceful display. The fact that we couldn't score a goal against a team that concedes 1.2 goals/game in League ******* 2...

Januzaj, Di Maria, Wilson, Falcao, Fellaini, Rojo, Jones, Carrick and Blind were all terrible. van Persie should have scored. De Gea didn't really have to do much, surprised we didn't go with Lindegaard or Valdes tbh. Only Valencia can hold his head up high, other than De Gea. Shaw didn't have enough time to get into the game. Herrera was good when he came on. Hopefully Shaw can play a full game next time. Blind is not a LB. Maybe something like:
Valdes
Valencia - Jones - Smalling - Shaw
Carrick - Blind
Herrera - Mata - Rooney
Falcao
Valencia - Jones - Smalling - Shaw
Carrick - Blind
Herrera - Mata - Rooney
Falcao

Valencia was ******* wank, Rojo was one of the few to pass forwards and was great down back.
De Gea
Rafael - Jones - Rojo - Shaw
Carrick - Blind
Herrera - Mata - Di Maria
Rooney.
What good is possession when you cant use the ball.

Rojo was outbodied several times by whoever that CF was for them and conceded several poor corners. His passing was also abysmal. Valencia consistently attacked down the right and had absolutely no problems defensively, was easily best on for us. Remember the first chance? The first header (that was going in) was Rojo's man. Defensively, Rojo was easily the worst of our defenders, and that was with Blind and Valencia playing out of position.

It's like watching a bunch of individuals run around with no connection as a team, they all have no idea what eachother will do or where they'll pass, it's terrible.

Defence was alright, strikers just didn't get the ball, midfielders were s**t.

Eh, I'm going down to my cricket club and sinking a few beers while watching our top of the table 2nd XI destroy whoever they're playing.

FFS this is frustrating.
LVG comes out during the week and says for all the s**t the 352 cops it's worth it because the coaching staff were always on edge worried we would concede when we played four at the back. Surely nerves about conceding are better than frustration at not creating, worrying about conceding seems the height of ridiculousness when it means we're struggling to even take a lead.
Also Herrera needs to play, Fellaini gives us much more strength but it's clear as day how much we're missing a player like Herrera who can increase the pace of our passing and produce quality through balls.
