[dsch]

Utter cowardice and shitness like we haven't seen since Moyes. We were playing like we were two goals up for all of the last twenty minutes.

 

[kps88]

Looked tactically naive; far too open for a European away game. Was the same against Brugge as well. Not sure why we keep things so tight in the league but try and go all out attack away in Europe with our two holding midfielders on the bench. First priority should have been the clean sheet but we seemed intent on outscoring them instead.

 

[Annihilate Now!]

Can I just say, that match day thread was an absolute fecking embarrassment.

 

[Wednesday at Stoke]

Just a horrible night overall. Hope we put 4 or 5 past these feckers at OT.

 

[Kag]

The Fellaini sub killed the game.

That aside, the players are to blame. Not good enough in the final third.

 

[snk123]

Easy chances to score - I don't care if you got there Smalling - just fecking put the ball in the net

 

[acnumber9]

I wasn't that annoyed at 2-1 down as for once I wasn't comatose watching us play. Then we sent Fellaini on and lost any momentum whatsoever. Our tactics when we're chasing a goal out shocking. And people here whine about 'dinosaur' tactics and old fashioned play and defend the way we currently play?

 

[Nickosaur]

Van Gaal needs to

Fool.

 

[Raw]

Not the end of the world though, still 5 winnable games to go. Our attacking football was better than usual but it just wasn't our night.

 

[Ryan7]

Typical wank tactics from Van Gaal. Takes Herrera off and leaves on his love child in Juan 'Tortoise' Mata. Then he brings Valencia on. Lmfao. Sells Hernandez, Van Persie and Di Maria... leaves us with Valencia as our only attacking option on the bench.

 

[Ødegaard]

All Van Gaal's fault that.

Not at all.
It's Van Gaal's fault we play like pussies.

 

[Sereques]

We should have won the game in first half. Big let down here. PSV worked so hard, they didn't want to lose the first game at home.

 

[stubie]

No backup plan

LVG seems to think when we go behind putting Felliani on is the answer. Even Moyes would not be that naive!

 

[Ainu]

The worst match I've ever seen. Never been this angry after a match. Ever.

 

[Blodssvik]

Very disappointing result, disappointed with our general play. Most of all just gutted for Shaw though. Might struggle to get through this group.

 

[ArmchairCritic]

One of those nights, couple of poor performances but I thought we looked dangerous going forward. Shaw injury is the biggest blow.

 

[VanGaalEra]

Horrible, horrible night!

Starting from the Shaw injury and no idea how we lost this game. Seems when we play well and create chances we don't win.

 

[Sultan]

I'm not sure of LvG's thinking. Why when he says a draw would be a good result he plays just the one defensive midfielder in an away game.

 

[Wumminator]

Embarrassing?

LVG needs to go?

We have some cretins who support us.

 

[dannyrhinos89]

Different game,

Same old shite.

 

[littlepeasoup]

Can I just say, that match day thread was an absolute fecking embarrassment.

I honestly don't know which was worse. That match or the thread.

 

[mav_9me]

Depay and Mata towards the end and Fellaini in general were pretty bad.

 

[sizzling sausages]

17 shots, 62% possession. We dominated most of that game, the subs cost us a bit of momentum though.

 

[Jagga7]

Terrible night all round. The less said the better.

 

[Sied]

For all that possession we only had 1 more shot on target than PSV.

 

[PlayerOne]

We look clueless when we go behind. Putting Fellaini on every time is getting boring

 

[ivaldo]

Not at all.
It's Van Gaal's fault we play like pussies.

Why. Explain, in detail.

 

[Player Red]

Utter cowardice and shitness like we haven't seen since Moyes. We were playing like we were two goals up for all of the last twenty minutes.

Jeez, it wasn't that bad. We were the better side...

 

[FromTheBench]

why though? We had our chances, didn't take them.

What chances ?

DId their keeper make a save even ?

 

[milemuncher777]

Fellaini for Hereera sub was awfull. Just when we started to get in behind their defense he does that. Lvg is a thick idiot.

 

[Yorkeontop]

No way we should lose that. PSV are not as good as I thought.

 

[Dé jonge god]

The philosophy is clearly working. Same boring, static and lack of idea football. Plenty of moments where the ball could've been passed twenty meters forward, but noo, let's tick it sideways for five meters because it minimizes any risk.

 

[Shark]

Shambles. The players have been a disgrace tonight. Seemed like I was watching Arsenal, not United.

 

[shivab]

LVGs substitutions make zero sense. Darmian had a poor game and needed to be taken off for valencia. Herrera should have stayed on. as soon as he left we looked completely disjointed. very poor from van gaal.

 

[Sied]

17 shots, 62% possession. We dominated most of that game, the subs cost us a bit of momentum though.

But only 5 on target...

 

[Triple.Threat]

just the thought of having Valencia and Fellaini as your options when chasing a game is totally wrong.

All on LvG am afraid.

 

[Offside]

The worst match I've ever seen. Never been this angry after a match. Ever.

Yep the circumstances in which we lost.

They just totally had a working game plan on us and we just let it happen. They literally were in out box twice and scored twice (before their 2nd).

 

[Jacob]

One of the bigger champions league shocks this season.

Let's face it, PSV aren't a good team, they are an OK team.

We simply do not have a plan B and for over a year it's not been addressed by LVG.

Gonna throw it out there, Marital looks like a pub player

Wuuaaaa

 

[RoadTrip]

As a team, we have no idea how to chase a game.

 

[iammemphis]

Should of had a pen.
Should have been a red card.
Should have been playing against 10 men.
Offender then goes on to score equaliser that sets them off to a win.

Play that game again with a proper ref and we would have won. We made mistakes and we will learn from it so onwards and upwards. At least we know not to play Mata centrally. Much better on the right.

 

[Hed Zitin]

No mental composure in this side at all.

They go to friggin' jelly.

 

[Mr Anderson]

The repercussions of a fairly thin squad. When we need a change, it was to lump it to Fellaini. We were just lacking in ideas late on. Darmians first below par game and Mata was just as bad.

We played well, but this is what happens when you can't close games out. Tempo went down when we lost Shaw to that horrific injury, but that isn't to blame overall.
