Seriously though, what would you do? Don't say "attacking football" without saying what you mean: Van Gaal thinks that's what he's playing right now.

Perhaps tell them to play like they did today at the start of the second half, and set out Without two defensive midfielders.

Also, I'm not sure if it's Van Gaal or the players that's to blame really. Lingard and Memphis don't look like they put in enough effort if you ask me, Mata has too many touches on the ball, and has no physical presence, while Rooney tends to overthink it, and has a poor first touch. They can play really well, boss the game and look dangerous - but also look completely clueless and pass back and sideways, not create any chances etc..

Aaand.. I don't know. There's a lot of injuries also. It's true for other teams as well, but it does affect performances. Luke Shaw had an amazing start to the season, Rojo looked strong also. Martial is still the real deal I think, but he has too much to do on his own, maybe he could do with a rest.
