'Shredding his legacy at every turn'. He should of resigned before Xmas. He'd of left the game with more respect. The way it's going he's going to go out in terrible fashion.
I agree. Leave with some dignity or you will be run out of town.

It feels like the film Groundhog day, LVG as Bill Murray refusing to change his ways and get it right. Repeating the same uninspiring, bland, robotic football week after week. There is no excitement, no risk and no desire. How could you get excited to go and watch that every week? Van Gaal isn't going to change his ways. The board are the ones I blame, we are not chatting about giving a young manager more time. We are giving a stubborn man who refuses to change his style of play more time. A man who plans to retire next season who has spent a fortune, more time?

The club is being badly run. Look how Bayern have dealt with Pepe leaving half way through the season. They have Ancelotti lined up to take charge next season. We are going to turn into Liverpool and get left behind the way thing are going. We have the opportunity of getting Mourihno or Pepe and we have done nothing so far. People going on about Mourihno playing boring football, could it be much worse than this? I would prefer Giggs to the end of the season rather than this. This isn't an overreaction after getting beat, this is complete frustration at lackluster performances. We could get a new manager, who would have a window to bring in new players and salvage this season. Instead we will probably stay with LVG and achieve nothing. Being linked with and hoping a Southampton player can come and fix everything, what a delusion. It's not all doom though, we still have a good core of players like De Gea, Smalling, Schneiderlin, Herrera and Martial. We just need someone who can manage them that isn't Van Gaal. It's so depressing, I hope this nightmare ends soon.
Groundhog day is an excellent analogy. It really does feel like that. :lol:

care a damn what happens to this clown. He is ensuring the team is being totally dissapated.
Yeah, I agree, I didn't mean it that way. I meant surely he cares enough to not retire from football with his managerial legacy destroyed.

BT sports have ripped him to pieces and Tslksport are doing exactly the same right now.

Just heard his post match interview with Talksport and I can't believe what I'm hearing.

LVG on waving at the fans as the players came off "Well they wave to me, so I wave back" :lol:

Same here. He destroyed something i loved.
Yes. I bailed out ten minutes into the second half.

Then I watched the Real Madrid - Deportivo game. The contrast was unbelievable. Beautiful football. Like coming from a dark room into bright sunlight.

Surely if this dreary play continues it will affect us commercially? The only things we can be convincingly linked with now are toilet paper and nappies:

"Are we comfortable with shit? We're a Manchester United product"

OK I give in - I hate constantly changing managers - but we're not going to progress even if we buy a couple of new attacking players - the players are being stifled and suffocated by this system - the players are clearly obeying the manager's instructions so don't really want to blame them, we are just playing risk-free football which may work if everyone was a robot and no-one makes a mistake but although we don't make mistakes very often, when we do we can quickly be in trouble.
Although today we were never in any danger, we still didn't take any risks against a League 1 side and played too slowly as usual.

I'm afraid any hope I had of progression has evaporated and he has to go. I hope he resigns.

We're playing with a goalkeeper, 6 defenders and 4 players supposedly attacking but too isolated from the rest of the team and smothered by the opposition meaning that we rely on mistakes of the opposition to break through instead of adding pace and pressuring them so much that they do make a lot of mistakes and thus creating lots of openings.

Please go

After seeing what our next few games are, I can only conclude that it's not going to get any better. I think we've got this until the end of the season tbh, and it's utterly depressing.

He's not quitting now, unless we go on another losing run. Lose to Newcastle and get turned over by Liverpool and things might get very rough for him....again, but he managed to get through it last time.

I'm sure that you are as gutted as most of us have been when we came to that conclusion, it's an awful feeling.

It's pretty inevitable what's happening. Ed has bottled it and won't act until it's staring him in the face that we won't qualify for top 4 - away defeats to Newcastle and Liverpool will see to that.

Just like Moyes, it will be too late. Congratulations Ed, you've outdone yourself again. The club is rotten to the core.

It's pretty obvious we're going to keep doing the same thing as long as he's here, so why would people think it'll improve? Apart from a few good games last season the style of football has been awful. He doesn't want us to be attacking or expressive. His press conferences make it very clear. He sees the issue as us not scoring the chances we create, rather than some sort of systemic issue or that we're not attractive enough.

He's been given an absolute fortune and yet we still have a squad that's too small and which has a lack of quality and glaring weaknesses. I see he's already started into that shite about how tough it is to buy in January, which means we'll get through his fourth window with the same old excuses being trotted out. If we don't do anything in the market this Jan we'll have gotten through four windows with one arguably world class player bought, albeit he was sold within the year. And yet we still claim to be the biggest club in the world.

All of that said, though, what's the point in giving him fantactis attacking players when he'll just strangle all semblance of expression out of them. If even je could just work better with the players we have then we'd have nothing much to worry about. Bottom line, he's been shit since he pitched up and his sole remaining selling point is the apparent legacy he's going to leave behind. The smell of bullshit is overwhelming.

It's going to take a big defeat for him to be sacked. Aren't we playing Liverpool soon? I know they are totally wank but I can only see them giving us a pasting getting him the sack.

We've won and I feel depressed, something wrong there.
After the Everton game I thought we were really going somewhere, but even the 4 defeats in a row didn't get me as depressed as I am now. We need a change urgently.

In comparison to Moyes, it's a different feeling, was astounded when Moyes was appointed, tried to keep faith with him but soon became apparent that he was not up to the job for a club of this size. LvG should be capable but he seems to have lost his bottle.

I've actually gone past the point of being angry after a shite performance now.

I expect the worst every single game. I can't see this changing until we change managers.

I just keep hoping that this is the game we get a real performance and the players look like they are enjoying themselves. There are very few games where I am not crushingly disappointed.

:lol:

I knew this thread will be like this..
It was a dog site performance but few teams would look too great against basically 10 defenders. It's a win at least

I hope he gets a striker or winger in Jan, and stops playing Rooney upfront. He's not a natural out and out striker where he can fall back on his instincts when his legs have gone.

Newcastle, Liverpool and Southampton next in the league. I'm willing to bet that we'll score two goals and get two points from those three games....and that's if we're lucky.

I actually don't want us to get any new players in January, cause van Gaal will just feck them over. This seriously is worse than under Moyes...I never thought I would think that after the debacle that was David Moyes but seriously van Gaal has just eclipsed that....maybe because we've had to put up with this shit for longer is making it even harder to bear.

Even van Gaal's ignorance is beginning to rub off on Rooney. I don't even want to think what would have happened if he missed that peno. I had to leave the room and wait for the cheers!

I'm still not convinced sacking him now is the best option but he must be gone by the end of the season.

Ah..now you have explained the problem tonight...care to shed some light onto this? Cause I'm just thinking he's crap. Am I wrong?

I think that it's the loss of faith in the manager and the team.
