Norwich City 0:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Sat, 07 May 2016

We are too spoiled for you lovely bunch of average players. Please find it in your hearts to forgive us when the club dumps you for someone much more better. Hope we can still be friends.
 
Performance of the day: Me, for not falling asleep and thus being able to witness the goal.

Another season of this shite will be the end of me.
 
Firstly, shit performance. But what more can we expect under LVG?

I'm hoping for a miracle and hoping Arsenal can beat Citeh and we can conjure up a miracle by beating West Ham and Bournemouth. I hope Martial isn't too badly injured and Rashford can give us that bit of pace that we lacked today.

Finally, is it only me that thought Rooney showed good awareness with his assist? The consensus here seems to be that he almost fecked it up and got lucky with the Mata pass. I thought he showed a good awareness of Mata running in behind, he knew he didn't have the pace to get away so picked out Mata.

Anyway, c'mon Arsenal!
 
I'm actually happy I'll miss the game on tuesday. That was incredibly shite.
 
90 minutes of absolute dog turd from Memphis today. Januzaj must be wondering what he has to do..
 
I'd take the same performance and result first our 3 remaining games. Mata, Mike, Carrick good the rest meh
 
Dire viewing without our pacy frontline.

I know we won but that was very uninspiring for the future. I'm concerned if Martial is out for any period of time. Rashford goes straight back in.

The manager didn't help us.
 
Our Man of the Match was Sebastian Bassong. Depressing, utterly depressing football.
 
That was soul destroying, utter garbage performance that we sneaked a win from due to a brain dead defensive error from an equally shite team.
 
Boring game, but at this stage it's about the three points. Norwich are awful though, up there with Villa.

Smalling and Mata our best players today. Think Lingard is tired now
 
The official term is 'professional display'.
 
Actually slept throughout the first half. It was that bad.

Great result, awful performance. Just got to hope now that Arsenal do the job.
 
Terrible football, one of the most boring games I've seen recently but I'll fecking take the three points gladly.
I don't know how can one vote for a man of the match, when no player played like a bloody league three player, the man of the match is no one because everyone was shit.

Depay - oh boy, when will you show a glimpse of being a footballer? That late free kick was so close and could've given him the morale boost he needed but his extremely poor.
Mata - I don't know how he won POTM but he's useless out wide. I can't remember the last time I saw him win a physical tussle.
Lingard - has he touched the ball more than a couple of times in the game? Why the feck is he being played #10 when he has not even a single attribute fitting for that role, and why is Mata not being swapped with him for 75 minutes before either is subbed? What are we missing here??
Rooney - incompetent striker, lucky to get to the ball for the goal but did well to assist Mata. At one point I was sure he'll flop it but I'm delighted he made it count. Can't play not even a single further match for Manchester United as a striker.
Januzaj - poor boy for twice missing out on subbing in, but I think it was the right decision from LVG for a change. I'm one of Januzaj's biggest fans, but in such a big game the goal should've meant no fun for him.
Herrera - Poor performance yet again, but what sickens me the most is how much I think he could've flourished under a better manager who plays more freely. Terrible stuff.

feck all of this. 3 points!
 
Norwich were insipid, too. Can't remember a team in the middle of a relegation scrap showing so little fight or effort.

I saw the same thing happen against Villa.
It seems that the players of both Villa and Norwich simply turned up to the match, believing that they would & should lose.
We got 1-0 wins against both those teams.
 
I had zero emotion when our goal went in, and zero tension in the last few minutes about Norwich scoring, cheers LvG you've just about totally killed my love for the game.
 
Disgraceful and undeserving bunch of cnuts, our players are. Forget Mourinho, I want Keano to be our manager so he can tear into these clowns when they play such sloppy crap on a stick football.
 
A borefest, but given our desperate situation it's all about results. Job done, but my god it was awful to watch.
 
If we do end up with top 4 it'll be a complete robbery.
Funny but so so undeserved. We are fecking pony.
 
Boring shite.

Mata on the right wing and Lingard allegedly in the middle, why fecking why?
 
3 points. If the Arse can do us a favor, I'll take two more games twice as boring as that with the same result.
 
Yeah LvG needs to go in the summer whatever happens..

In relation to today I thought Rooney did very well isolated up front in the hot weather with scraps to feed on, Mata did well 2nd half when he moved more central (why put him out wide?), Hererra probably the only player to make forward runs off the ball along with Valencia but still careless at times.
 
Totally wank game/performance but 3 points very important. At least we made some effort in the second half and actually should've won by a couple in the end.

Norwich deserve their league position. Couldn't score at a brothel's Xmas party

Hands up anyone who thinks Van Gaal and this team can challenge for the title next season.
 
At half time I turned it off and watched the Brighton game instead. That's unthinkable for me as i watch pretty much every possible minute of United games, but today was horrendous. It's got to the point where I don't give a shit if we win or lose. Van Gaal needs to be gone after the cup final because another season of this can't happen. I've got real anger at the board atm for the position that we are in.
 
I just feel a bit numb about it all. Are a lot of our players that bad? Is LVG blind to how awful and dull and boring we are? Is Ed sitting there saying...."wahey, we won, great match, so exciting". I mean, it was so poor in technique, passing ability, creativity, teamplay....the lot. What on earth do they do in training?

Surely there has to be a change? Surely?
 
It's been 2 seasons of tumescent football, I'm not going to complain about the quality in the last 3 games as long as we win them.

Hopefully Rashford & Martial are back for West Ham.

Oh and Memphis. Dear God.
