On Saturday we played QPR and won 2-0 and on the way of driving home listening to call Colomore which I usually listen to laugh at the people who think they know football but don’t. But this time there was one caller who said that the tactics this week where the worse he have seen and where worse than they were under David Moyes so after watching the match and watching reruns of the match and important parts I have to say he was right. It was worse I have seen tactically from a Manchester united manager I have seen until the formation was changed and to four at the back with wingers included in the formation. But this does leave a big question is this the end for 3-1-4-2 well in my opinion yes it should be and we should change to a four or five at the back to make us more of a balanced team which would mean we would win more away games like this one. Here are my player ratings for this match.
De Gea: 8
Kept us in the match with some amazing saves from shots that should have seen the back of the net.
Evans: 5
Was poor in the first half of this game but did eventually improve as the game went on.
Rojo: 6
Was good in the game but allowed Zamora to get under his skin which is why he only has a 6.
Jones: 7
Was our best defender on the pitch and did well in getting the ball even though it was wired to see him taking corners.
Blind: 4
Looked good on the ball but looked disconnected from the midfield this is why he only gets a four from me.
Carrick: 7
Saw plenty of the ball and kept it well but did not have enough penetration when going forward.
Valencia: 5
Had a poor game in whole but did well in picking Fellaini for the first goal.
Di Maria: 6
Was a poor in the striker role but when LVG swapped the formation was better in a deeper role.
Rooney: 7
Did well on the ball as he continued in his midfield role but could have had a bigger impact in a more advance position.
Mata: 6
Created United’s best chance in the first half when he played a ball into Falcao but then was replaced by Fellaini.
Falcao: 3
Was disappointing today and should have scored a hat trick.
Subs:
Fellaini: 7
Came on for Mata and gave our midfield a more solid look and did well taking his goal.
Wilson: 7
Gave us pace and made chances for the team also got a good goal from running from the half way line.
Herrera: N/A
Come on too late to score.
Our next match is against Leicester at Old Trafford which we will be hopping for a better performance and another win.
