Our front 6 was fine on paper.. The defence was the part that was worst hit by injuries.

We lost the game because we looked toothless. Injuries are not the excuse.

The front 6
Martial = ~36m+
Mata = ~37m
Memphis = ~25m
Fellaini = 27m
Carrick = 16m
Lingard

And we looked absolutely awful going forward.
 
The performances have been shit all season and now we're getting the results to match. 3 wins in 12 matches.

Has to go.
 
nah, this is not okay. He has to go. Let's not forget moyes had a higher win%.
 
Our players don't look like they care. This is the mangers first job, to inspire the lads to give everything when they are on the pitch. We honestly don't look bothered. Does anyone here really think LVG should stay on for 18 more months?
 
Right I'm going to say it, I am in the camp now.

LVG out
 
We all know he won't be sacked, which makes it all that much worse.

Clear as day that LVG isn't working. If he had any respect for himself and the club he should just resign.
 
The injury crisis is partly his fault. He let go of too many established first teamers.
 
Terrible stuff, not even like Bournemouth played amazingly, they'll play way better this season.
 
Bournemouth deserved the win... All that needs to be said. Van Gaal has to go. Can barely get any excitement up for any United game until he's gone. Yes we've had injury troubles, but that's now just 4 wins in our last 14 games. 3 draws and 2 losses in our last 5 games. fecking terrible from us. All games where you'd normally expect us to win as well, bar Wolfsburg away.
 
He's lost the plot as well. Powell as the solution. No Schneiderlin or young to come on. Not ok at all.
 
Bournemouth are a shocking side. Disgrace really. They should have scored more. I expected us to kick on from that cagey form early season but we are regressing.
 
That second half is as bad as it's been.

In terms of of LVGs management...he's just made so many mistakes that are unforgivable. From the size of the squad to the style of play...it's time for something new.
 
What the feck can you do when you have injured/suspended/just back from injury and not fit:


#10 Rooney/Herrera

Wing Lingard

Midfield Schweinsteiger/Schneiderlin

Defense Smalling/Shaw/Darmian/Valencia/Jones


How do you plan for that? The average age at the start of the game was 24 and went down when Perriera and Powell were brought in. Still shit but feck me these injuries are awful.

It's not his philosophy to quit. I am so looking forward to his post match press conference. I just want to hear the excuses.
 
I enjoyed the game and we played some good stuff, we've been unlucky. We're depleted in defence and have an issue currently with set pieces. But taking off Fellaini was the wrong move, Powell did nothing.
 
Pressing and running are the game these days, too ponderous, anyone who has any energy can beat us, utter garbage. Great players we have, not in this system and league though.
 
Would be wise to stick with VG to the end of the season, but I got strange feeling he could go earlier.
The problem would be that a caretaker till the end of the season could turn out worse.

Grant you that but we still should not have been outplayed that badly. We were simply outplayed, outclassed and embarrassed in the 2nd half. The score should have been more than 2-1.
