Fecking around with Herrera
Ass kissing Rooney
Awful.. awful football

My patience is gone.


Bye bye LvG..
 
Overreaction coming IMO. If you read this thread without knowing the score, you'd think we'd have been battered.

Not saying the criticism isn't just though.
 
He has completely castrated our confidence in the final third.

If it weren't for a combination of woodwork and best keeper in the league we could have well been.
 
How can anyone blame him tonight? We created loads of chances and missed each and every fecking one of them.
 
Woeful finishing yet again. I don't know that this can all be LVG's fault. Had god knows how many shots in that game and the keeper made one save.
 
Sack this dinosaur of a manager. He's done some good, but it's been avalanched by the bad at this point. He was a long term solution anyway.
 
Say what you want about the style but the players aren't producing going forward. Full backs do feck all, Fellaini slows everything down, Mata doesnt show any match winning quality.

Frustrating that we dont have anyone else to fall back on either, seeing as Rooney and Young have all been equally useless cnuts.

Memphis, Martial and Lingard are all young and inconsistent.

Is it reaaly a suprise we dont create or score enough with such a lack of outstanding quality?
 
This is bollocks now. Going into the season with 2 recognised strikers (with any experience), one of which has been declining for years, the other is only a potentially good player is negligence.

That said, is there actually a part of the pitch (apart from in goals) where we don't need to improve?
 
I don't know how anyone can continue to defend this shite. There's no sign of improvement whatsoever. We walk through games thinking a goal will somehow magically appear for use fire we seem to realise that we had best start trying to score. It's unacceptable and it's not being spoilt to point it out.
 
he is getting stick from the supporters now. not quite good enough side to win the league. if he doesn't get a striker in the window we'll finish 4th-6th. with a balanced side united could be out front. it's just not god enough. too much money spent for this uninspired dross.
 
How safe is his job? Will he be under pressure if we feck up in the CL?

His control has taken a lot of the attacking instinct out of our game
 
He's reaping what he sowed. You can't sell/loan all your strikers, buy one and rely on a declining Rooney to score goals.
 
If we can line up a big name in the summer LVG really needs to go. This is not working.
 
Decent performance and a clean sheet. This will get better as we approach mid-season.
 
If it weren't for a combination of woodwork and best keeper in the league we could have well been.

Our finishing was poor. You can somewhat blame him, but also the players put in the positions. I think Fellaini, Martial and Lingard all should have scored. You can argue that as much as our luck in not conceding.
 
His squad management of our attacking options has been nothing short of appalling. Sanctioning the removal of Hernandez, nani, Di Maria, Kagawa and Van persie without replacing or improving upon them has crippled us.

Because we look impotent in our attacking play again. Its so boring that the only thing that makes me watch it is because its United on display. Its not an isolated event, this shit on a stick has been going on since LvG joined us.
 
When we got beat/draw with Wolfsburg and out of CL, he is gone, and rightly so.

100%. The board won't accept that and we aren't exactly a guarantee for top 3 or or 4.

Edit: 100% Gone but at the end of the season is what I meant. They won't sack him for the sake of it if there is nobody they want available.
 
Also, last week we had a striker on the bench. Rooney gets injured and despite being a further striker down he decides we don't need one on the bench this week. It's bonkers.

Van Gaal could have signed attackers in the summer. He let guys like Van Persie and Di Maria leave without replacing them.

Depay and Martial should have been bought in to supplement the above replacements. Not be direct replacements.

Everyone on the forum was not happy with the attack.

You found tonight's game boring?
Erm 6th 0-0 already perhaps?

This wasn't a typical 0-0. Surely you see that? Both teams should have scored and we should have won.
 
I can see the muppets will be hoping and praying United lose some games so he gets sacked. Some fans.
 
Can we blame him do today for our missed chances? No. We can blame him overall for farming/selling out our experienced players and not replacing in the right areas. Hence our incompetence up front. 20 attempts, 1 on target.....

He has misjudged our forward options entirely.

Not to mention set your team up/train in a way that doesn't maximise enough of them. We've got next to zero clinical finishers, we should be ensuring that we max out the chances we create to ensure we'll taken enough of them.
