Okay performances have been poor this season I agree. I expected lvg would need time but didn't imagine we would play so crap and not be able to win a game. I still believe in lvg and am confident he will get it right. The man is a superb coach with a great cv not a miracle worker. This team finished seventh last year for a number of reasons. I believe we need to gut a lot of the dead wood. For me Anderson should be gone the man is on 80 grand a week and offers nothing and can't even keep himself fit he has wasted his talent. I look at him and other players and they do not seem to be playing for the badge. The money these guys are on they should be coming of the pitch having given all they can and the majority can't say that. For the likes of adnan and young Wilson coming through it can't 've a good thing for them to see the likes of Anderson who don't care whilst there busting themselves to get in the team. Di Maria is for sure overpriced but he is a top player and we don't have enough of them. He adds pace and skill to a team lacking both and he can cross a ball which sadly young and Valencia seem to have forgotten how to. Him and adnan down the flanks assisted by Shaw and Rafael would stretch most teams. Watching us this season and last it's clear we need that special box to box central midfielder who can pass, tackle, score, set up, command and link defence and attack. Vidal would be perfect but any, player in that mould is a must. At least one top quality centre half is needed as I think smalling and Evans are not good enough. I think Jones will come good if he gets a good amount of games in this position. I think rojo will be good for us. I think we need a leader to play with these two like hummels or again someone in that class. People are comparing lvg to moyes which is silly. I know it has been hard and believe me I am hurting so I know how u feel. Give lvg a bit of time he is a great manager.

I completely agree. Lvg has lost 3 defenders! Take 3 of the best defenders out of any team and watch them. It's definatly an issue that needs sortin.

Great post JohnJoe! Agree with all you have said.
Wish more of us so called Man Utd fans would calm down a little and have some patience

We desperately need a top, commanding CB more than anything. It's the defence that's been at fault in games so far - how can you attack if defence keeps giving ball away or is clueless about what to do with it? Rojo will add some urgency but an experienced commanding voice is needed. That's why LVG wanted Vermaelon. Not sure who's out there now though that we could sign.

The defence isn't the only problem what has shocked me more is the inability from ALL our players to not even be able to perform a simple 5yd pass to feet when there is no pressure if you wath the games closely no passes go to feet they all seem to go 2 yds behind the player or are over/under hit it just looks like we have rounded up 25 lookalikes and let them have a kickabout
