If Bastian was average, the others are even worse. Mata did back passes more than him. Rooney as always... sux big time. Carrick was slow on the ball. What do you expect when there are players like this playing around you. + someone mentioned earlier, pls remember his age and dont compare what he did in Bayern before. LVG's tactic is one thing, but most of our players also not good enough.
yes, others are worse. age and the goal doesn't change the fact he was average. there are others who at his age performed much better. im not blaming him, as like you said, others are worse. it makes life difficult
I'm afraid it's the LVG's filosofi that hinders our players abilities. Darmian was very good when he arrived, the same can be said of Martial, but after filosofi applied into their game play, they look average now..
Remember how bright Martial and Darmian was at the beginning of the season ? Even our no.7 to some extend ..
It seems like LVG just want to secure us top 4 every season and retire like that , instead of risking his reputation .. Though , wouldn't he want to add the premiership to his list of achievements ?
Martial played well when he was no.9... now LVG just tried him everywhere to accommodate Rooney and because Depay sucks at LW.
I also suspect Darmian was burned out after continuous starting at RB, after that he played poorly and never went straight into starting 11 since then... not sure if that hurt his confidence.
Depay only played well against lower teams during CL... he never good playing in PL.
lvg play restricted players with flair to roam over the pitch. hence their creativity oso will be restricted. then the players' perf of cos not as up to par lorr..
I wouldn't said bastian is solid, he's just average to me. He used to run with the ball with the when he was at bayern and national team, not sure why not now.
Yeah. In fact, i shall say almost all the Mu players do not run with the ball anymore.

lidis why need a 20 goal striker, or players like robben,bale ronaldo?
cant win game say no players lidat. den spend so much money play like robot
If you guys watch LvG's Holland team in last Word Cup... you should know only Robben was given free pass to attack whatever/whenever he likes. The rest need to follow philosophy...

The main problem is we don't have a Robben / Ronaldo with this philosophy. Depay cannot even dribble past a man. Martial was forced to play out of position. Mr Luni cannot even control the ball. Mata is not even a winger and he lack pace.
Herrera & Bastian the most creative players (Bastian already aging & Herrera not always in the 1st team)
