In the Old Trafford game, we played diamond 4-4-2 and we won 4-0. That should be our first choice formation. 5-3-2 is fine when you have many defenders injured. Also why the hell is Rafael not in the team?

That formation was correct. Di Maria as a striker does not have space to run and is offside frequently. He aced last season as left sided midfielder in a 3 man midfield. Why not play him there and Rooney as the striker? This simple switch would make the team click. We have so much possession but QPR have had the better opportunities.

Yeah it was sad to see Falcao become Torres tonight, missed 4-5 great chances ... I guess he just need more games ... but LVG will not pick him over RVP now ...

So much money for Di Maria and Wilson was way better than him ... I think he's fucking waste of money in EPL ...

I don't think Falcao was "awful". His forward runs, determination and eagerness to get the ball was very encouraging. Unfortunately his finishing was not the best. He spent most of the past year injured so it will take time for him to regain his sharpness. He wasn't quite "Torres". At least he could run and put himself into good positions. Torres couldn't do anything with the ball.

The second half performance was so much better with diamond 4-4-2 but still not convincing enough. Di Maria in midfield was so much better. He had space to run.

Di Maria was bad because he played out of position in the first half. I think he did alright in the second half. He could have had 1 or 2 assists. He's not a "waste of money". He has played very well when played in his best position, i.e. left sided midfielder in a 3 man midfield. He has 6 assists and 3 goals in 13 games (i.e. created 9 goals in 13 games).

Wilson has scored an easy goal today, his first goal this season. Despite not scoring much, he has been impressive. He is fast, collective and well composed on the ball.

Judging him on just the last 2 games is awfully stupid because he has played as a striker. He should never play there. When played in his position, he has made 6 assists and scored 3 goals in 11 games. i.e. 9 goals created in 11 games. That's awful..

Exactly. And i also agree with your suggestion of diamond midfield, definitely the best way to go!

Falcao? Just sell van Persie to Zenit and let the el Tigre stay! :D

And i have to say that i don't agree with Wilson starting or even being subsituted in.. I mean what the fuck.. We have Falcao who's at least top5 in the world, regarding strikers, when on form.. Wilson is rubbish and will probably loaned out to Leicester City in a year or so. Falcao not even being on the bench is ridiculous.. Yup that's it.

Fucking start Falcao in the X!!

Falcao was good in patches. At least he was looking for the ball, looked urgent and busy. How can he do his thing, if we're playing the wrong formation, wrong players in wrong positions? ADM is not a striker. Get him back into midfield so he can utilize his skills, Rooney and Falcao upfront.

I feel like we can't really play Carrick and Blind at the same time in the midfield. They're too similar of a player. I would drop Carrick and start either Herrera or Fellaini. Everytime Herrera started, he has looked dangerous and was the one that linked the plays starting from defence to attack.

Exactly!

By the way after Carrick returned from injury we won like 5 games in a row. He's still good, just he needs two other midfielders next to him. His passing is superb at times, he's no Scholes but still.

I'd like to see more of Ander Herrera as well. That's why i agree with Nady, that the diamond formation would be the best to go with. Di Maria....Carrick (Blind)....Herrera with Mata in the hole, Falcao and Rooney starting. But i don't have anything against Rooney playing in the midfield either. I mean he's got the energy, his passes are sometimes Schole'esque etc etc...

I prefer Ander and Mata to Di Maria all day ... never like him as a player ... so inconsistent throughout the games and even each match ...

:rofl::nape:
Maybe his current form isn't good, but he's the best striker in the world by a mile.

One can argue Carlos*son Martínez is a close second though. (H)

yeah, I'm talking about 2015, not about 2010. I used to like Falcao more than Ibra. Right now, Falcao is awful and even if he plays at his best, he wouldn't be the best ST.

Better than van Persie that's for sure. If you've watched Manutd matches you can see right away that he's such an intelligent player you know? The runs he makes, lethal in the box etc. I don't even have to say it out loud. Goes without sayying.

If Bale gets signed with DdG going the other way, thay would be a stupid mistake. We are in excess of attacking players. Unless van Gaal wants Bale as a forward instead of Falcao (will most likely not stay)

I guarantee that the majority of the united fanbase, will be so angry if we got Bale in exchange for DDG. DDG is a WAY more important player than Bale.
