One interesting point is we've rested Blind and suddenly we take a good corner 
He has been poor but I would rather we gave him more game time to see if he can get better. Its not like he is struggling because the PL is much more competitive/physical than the dutch leagues. His first touch etc have let him down a lot of the time and that is because he is rusty.
Another game where we are getting outplayed and outworked by a team scraping the bottom of the table. How we are still in with a chance of 4th boggles the mind.
You sir are being ridiculous! How can you be declared a tactical genius if you play people in their natural position.

commentators absolutely slamming LvG over the Lingard/Mata **** up 
His touch was letting him down even at the beginning of the season when he was playing every game
Also if Memphis is playing as the wide player, where is Martial played? Rashford not playing if Martial is up front, Mata on the bench? The team was stronger and playing better when Memphis didnt play (if Utd were playing worse then you might have had a point)

Nobody on the pitch has scored since March. Bodes well.

We've only beaten Villa out of the bottom 8 away from home?? That is ridiculous.
Look as though they don't care about 4th place.

Oh god I just looked at our bench.
Our only even remotely attacking option is Januzaj. A player who hasn't played for like 8 months for us?
But it's ok, LvG didn't leave us with a stupidly small squad this season and there is plenty of backup.

Yep - completely awful. Rooney offers less then nothing in that position. I'd let him go in the summer - he's done nothing for years. Also, how many times has darmian gone off injured this season. he's worse than Rafael.
Just doing the same
When F-M and Schneiderlin are the most remotely likely subs its a really tragic state of affairs (because Janjuzaj hasnt exactly been lighting up the U21's)
Bit more difficult than just "letting Rooney go" - as those huge wages still need to be paid by someone , and I cant see him going to China just for the money.
Bit harsh on Darmian, he has actually played some very good games this season (although he does have some terrible games also), maybe a little too inconsistant this season but deserves a 2nd season (under a less random manager).

Darmian's had some injuries but he's done well for us. He needs a competent manager who doesn't switch him from right back to left back to centre back to dropping him for weeks for no apparent reason.
Rooney is just not a striker any more, and certainly not a solo one. He's lethargic and loses the ball too much. He can be ok in a midfield role, not world class but better than he is up front.
