By Eike Go To PostLvg could not have predicted the under performances of his players.you've got to look at all the players that have come in, Darmian, Martial, Herrera all hit the ground blazing with spark and ambition, look at them now...ADM with 6 months under him couldn't string a pass together, that is woeful man-management
from the cafe -
His tactics are the great equalizer, every team that can defend in two banks of four is going to have a relatively easy and stress free 90 minutes vs us. People want him gone because there has been no progress, no improvement in team or individual play, just slow descent into pure awfulness. Some of the players may not be up to scratch, but these are mostly his players, either because he bought them or chose to keep them ahead of others that he sold. After ~20 months of being in charge, the buck has to stop with him.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostIt is time for #JoseIn
It's been time for that since December tbh.
We can slap ourselves on the back for saying we didn't knee-jerk sack him but that's not got us anywhere.
There's also the laughable logic of giving a manager that's about to retire more time. Like it would've logically made more sense with Moyes if I'm honest, not that I would have agreed with giving him more time.
I have never and will never rate LVG or his football, his reputation was built on a side of a different era completely and never proved that he could replicate what he did anywhere else.
his Bayern side was one of the absolute worst and luckiest teams to reach a CL final in recent memory.
I KNEW this was gonna happen since day one, along with the Bayern/BVB posters.
Will Mou fix this squad? Sure, if you're willing to literally start from scratch and gut the whole team (United is one of the few clubs who can absolutely get away with doing this). So many disgraceful and overrated players.
starting with Martial. I'd expect more from a 800 million striker quite frankly

Funny you should mention him being lucky, since I read this today which describes the effect his football has quite well in that regard:
Manchester United and ‘roll the dice’ football
The sterile possession and lack of clear-cut chances created determines that the result of each United match is decided by very few individual moments. When the vast majority of the match is played outside both penalty areas, missed chances and defensive mistakes become more important, for they have such a great impact on the final scoreline.
The problem with United’s ‘roll the dice’ style is that it inevitably produces inconsistent results. Sometimes it will work, as against Watford and Swansea, and sometimes it won’t, as against Southampton. Sometimes United will register fortunate victory, as against Liverpool, and sometimes they’ll be slightly unfortunate in defeat, as against Norwich.
The ultimate conclusion is that Van Gaal is doing far too little to cause a positive impact on United’s results. Rather than affecting their own destiny, United’s miserable style is a game of wait and see. Given the money spent and the patience afforded, that’s wholly unacceptable.
Doicare should read this.
By Bold 2 in One Go To Postyou were making sense up until the last linethe martial line was a joke
but I'd still hang him with the rest of those cunts. Albeit with a looser rope
Rooney should be hanged using an ANCHOR"S (BARBED) ROPE
I don't understand why the players don't just try to play in a different way than what their manager is telling them to do?
Thats the thing though, I reckon United have the 3rd best squad in the league when all the players are fit, (the best midfield we've had since 08) its just months of cancerous football has merely dis-sensitised us to that fact. get a proper manager in there who understands the strengths of the squad and even dullards like Fellaini can find their place. Definitely still injection of strong pacey wingers and two decent strikers and a proper CB

Now now.
By Laboured Go To PostNow now.Perfect for FA cup and League Cup matches.
By Slizz Go To PostPerfect for FA cup and League Cup matches.
Is he now?
I must have missed those.
He's been ok shitehousing in key games, but only in a 4-3-3 formation.
And those have been very few and far between.
By Shanks D Kowak Go To PostItaly's best hairdresser to ref the derby d'ItaliaFirst Damato, yesterday Banti, now Tagliavento to complete Trio Terrible. It's like FIGC is sending us a message and we're sending ours right back by winning despite these godawful refs.
LVG should have been hounded out when we seen his Plan B was to put the tallest player up front and kick it up to them.
Hideous football.
Hideous football.
In some ways the ways in which Moyes and LvG have both used Fellaini has managed to damn them both.
He absolutely should be sold as soon as possible. You can't play good football with him in your team.

By Shanks D Kowak Go To PostI am gonna say it, fuck Arsenal. I hope Claudio wins the league.
How we are not running away with the league is beyond me.
Actually it isn't.
It is because we have Wenger in charge.
This man knows whats up
With all the big contenders failing hard, we have the obligation to dominate this season with this squad.
Next season with Chelsea back, United with 1 billion pounds in signings and a decent manager, City with Pep, Klopp with his signings, Tottenham getting better every season, we wont even reach top 4.
By Freewheelin Go To PostI don't understand why the players don't just try to play in a different way than what their manager is telling them to do?Most likely enjoy the bench afterwards.
LVG is a strict 'fuck with me and you die' guy.
Valdes is an example.
#GreatJobGuy
I love him. Christ why is he and Barzagli so criminally underrated
certainly compared to the fucking Chiellini of late
By Ashwinho Go To PostIts scary to see where Neymar is now compared to Ganso.
Both names got touted around at the same time iirc
Ganso was actually rated higher than Neymar in 2010-2011 here. He had an mcl injury in 2011 and never really got back to his best.
By Fergie Go To PostMost likely enjoy the bench afterwards.I'm still dumbfounded by that whole Valdes situation.
LVG is a strict 'fuck with me and you die' guy.
Valdes is an example.
The way he was treated by someone who supposedly wanted him was just bizarre. It was the clicking pont for me to see just how bad his man management skills are.
He would have been a good replacement for De Gea if he went. But the way LVG exiled him out the squad would have left us in a situation of relying on Romero to be our number one if De Gea went.
I don't know what was going through his mind at this point.
Whather it's Giggs or Mourinho we're going to end up spending even more money trying to fix the squad. We have good players in a number of positions, but we've spent £300m in the last three seasons and the squad still has holes in it. Ed is fucking lucky most of headlines are on LVG.
By all accounts Valdez was a prick and refused to play for the U21's. Dropping him was one of the things LVG got right.
By Cleff Go To PostWhather it's Giggs or Mourinho we're going to end up spending even more money trying to fix the squad. now we have good players in a number of positions, but we've spent £300m in the last three seasons and the squad still has hikes in it. Ed is fucking lucky most of headlines are on LVG.We just need a striker a CB 2 wingers a backup lb a backup rb.
But hey... atleast we have good CMs.
Fargo S1 was very very good. I kind of felt the everyone dies but Molly coming, but apart from that I can't think of anything I outright disliked. Even K&P were good in it, and I generally can't stand their show. I think it could have been improved a little in some areas though. I only really loved BBT's character and felt like the writing / dialogue was missing just that extra oomph to take it into goat show territory.

I don't think Ed is wanting to sack LVG. Manchester United as a business comes first before the football for him and the other suits. Now for him to get LVG sacked is two appointments under him that haven't worked. Thus risking his own tenure. He'd much rather let him retire.
As much as I want Mourinho I can't see it happening. Giggs is the perfect candidate for what Woodward and the Glazers are looking for. Mourinho has his own entourage of people which the Glazers won't like.
Giggs on the other hand would be under their control.
The sooner Woodward is gone and the Glazers (But that's a ship that has passed now. Our moment to get them gone was 2005) the better.

By Kikarian Go To PostI'm still dumbfounded by that whole Valdes situation.I get the punishment when he refused to play for U21 consistently, but to keep it going for this long?

re: ronaldo
He's truly dead, the knees are shot and he no longer seems to have the physiological depth to make the simplest of passes. His runs are ill-timed, his attitude is awful and the manager can't sub him out. Mendez has indicated his client would not leave and want's to see his contract play out.
Pure goal output is not indicative of team achievements. For example, Bale scores less goals, that much is clear, but as the main attacking threat and with a well balance squad supporting him Bale could take this team back to where it should be, winning trophies, something Ronaldo hasn't been able to do.
Ronaldo will always be a legend to me, but I'm afraid he's going down the same path Casillas took.

Considerably worse. Much like the Glazers I struggle to see a realistic scenario in which he gets shit-canned any time soon.
