Van Gaal is a clown
Signs Di Maria 80 millions, and decides to field him as a striker, whereas he was one of the best if not the best CM last year.
Sticks Rooney back in midfield where he has less influence on the game while Di Maria is stuck forward not knowing what to do or how to move, because guess what? he is not a SS or CF.
He has Falcao staying home one week because it's better to have Wilson on the bench, whoever that kid is lmao.
Now Falcao is starting all of a sudden, looking rustier than 2011 torres
Doesnt matter how well Herrera does when he plays, always in the stands,
The guy has Phil fcking Jones taking corners for his team
what a clown
half a season and his team still has 0 identity

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
that was one of the most stupid thing i had seen in a while, he has mata, carrick and rooney on the pitch, yet it's Phil Jones, Right center back, that crosses over the pitch to go kick a corner from the left side.
daf*ck
you want to guess what happened? cleared by the first defender before it even reaches the front of the box

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
Reminds me of what some of the posters here would look like if they were managing. Seems like he does things because it's the hipster thing to do and no one would think to do it. Reason why is cuz it's stupid as hell.
He's an idiot.

Didn't Van Gaal convert Schweini from a winger to a CM?

Schweini started as a winger actually.

Don't know, but i remember Schweini used to play on the wings for Van Gaal. Albeit, it very well could be, as i've only seen Van Gaal's Bayern a couple of times in the CL lol

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
Because that's where he used to play but ultimately it was vG who put him into CM so that's certainly nothing he can be criticised for.

TBF Pep tried it as well. Ribery is a street thug so he intricacies of football elude him. LVG needs to use a 4231

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
Step 1: Back to the back 4 system with proper fullbacks.
Step 2: Play Herrera in place of Blind.
Step 3: Switch Di Maria and Rooney's position.
Final step: Dont be too much inventive! ( No need to change a GK before a penalty shoot out! )
These are very small changes. But we all know Van Gaal is too much stubborn to admit his mistakes.

Exactly. Van Gaal had a huge part in making Schweini what he is today.

wrong suggestions.
Step 1: is correct.
Step 2 : Play Herrera in CM
Step 3 : Play AdM in place of Carrick. Play rooney as one of the 2 forwards.

its because he is still having those wet dreams about robben terrorizing teams in the world cup sprinting forward from a wide advanced position. Now The closest you can find in this team who can do that is naturally di maria. Same formation as Holland, same position and role as robben. The only problem is that its flopping big time, I mean that ploy.

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
But Di Maria is not even playing from an advanced wide position, he's play very central. In fact there are no wide-to-center movements at all, everyone just stays in the same static position and just moves forward and back.

Not true... he's not scorer and has said so himself. He's a winger through and through.jibers wrote:sportsczy wrote:He had Ribery play as a false 9... so nothing shocks me.

Would you ever think of playing Overmars as a false 9??? same thing.

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
He has the ability Sport, according to Pep its just he couldn't wrap his head around playing in the middle, he needs the line behind him. It's not that ridiculous of a suggestion though, he has everything you'd need.

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
it's not ability... it's training, instincts and mentality. Ribery has always looked to make the final pass, not score. To be a scorer, you need to think and have scoring instincts.
Besides, one of Ribery's biggest attributes is his sheer speed and, putting him in the middle, he has no space.
It made absolutely zero sense ESPECIALLY since the player didn't want to move at all... Ribery told the manager no and, when moved against his will, he rebelled against it.
This isn't a kid... he's an established star.

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
No, you need to have scoring instincts to be a scorer, or a traditional number 9. Not a false 9. Ribery has the dribbling, the vision, the passing, and the finishing to be successful in that position.
It's not like Van Gaal/Pep tried to turn him into Pippo 2.0

Re: Van Gaal is a clown
Proving to be an egotistical buffoon, a stubborn one at that.
Almost (can't believe I'm going to say this, never thought it'd come to this) as bad as Moyes last season. Taking things into consideration like availability of good players and money spent in the summer. Some would say he's doing worse.
Funny how as soon as we change to a back four, we look much more threatening up front and created chances and instantly scored too. (exactly a min after he switched formation).
Everyone can see that this 3-5-2 is holding us back, but him. even the frigging Utd fans on the stands were chanting '4-4-2'.
Odd tactics galore, odd subs galore, atrocious boring football. Square pegs in round holes. trying to shoehorn all our best players to one team. Struggling to create chances and play the slowest brand of pointless possession football. Ugh!
Been so underwhelmed by him. He talks a good game, has the confidence and swagger to manage Utd, but this man's ego is on another level. wants to badly prove his managerial intelligence by enforcing this garbage system of his, over-complicating the basics of football.
He carries this on and it will be his undoing at the club. No top 4 and he is gone imo.
Disclaimer: I'm not clamouring for him to get sacked. But he's not making it easier to support him by his odd decisions every week.
Also Jones as our CK taker today
