I'm fairly certain we're just going to let LVG stay until he's at a point where the only option is to sack him, at which point it'll already be too late to salvage anything good from this season.

I'm beginning to get the feeling i had in the Moyes era where i actually never expect United to win games. Van Gaal manages to have us lower the expectations.

Great post.
Well said. A 0-0 draw at home with two shots on target is now acceptable because we "played well". Jesus wept...
I kind of expect them to sign an additional winger and striker for him in January too if we don't just bring back Januzaj.
I hope there's a reason to this madness and the board is being far more pragmatic than indecisive. LvG has also given debuts to a ton of academy players which the club probably feels good about.
Firing him is easy but what if Mourinho comes in and brings the same malaise that he had at Chelsea while ignoring the youngsters too? Then we run out of options.
I think I'm ranting to myself so I'll stop now.

Wait what
30 points after 19 games (at the halfway point for this season). On course for 60 points unless things start getting better.
We're on course for 60 points, currently. In 13/14, we got 64. LvG needs to improve to get to Moyes' level.
I could list games we've lost this season too! Maybe your short term memory is as faulty as my long term memory.

Trying to imagine how the 2nd half of the season will go now it's becoming increasingly likely we wont sack him.
Thank you sir.
I don't understand what a 0-0 draw changes. He blames luck, but LVG is beyond lucky himself.
You deserve to be disappointed for listening to something the media. I honestly dont know how far all these years people don't realise that these stories are invented to get clicks.
Feck sake, I now pronounce us Manchesterpool United!
Against the team sitting 16th in the table no less.
The man is deluded, a draw against a relegation contender and he thinks that he is invincible. There is no hope.
So LVG and then Giggs...this club is very strange
Maybe, but I'm not retarded enough to believe Moyes was more entertaining; a manager who up that point had won the Community Shield
the feck is this?
Our board are a bunch of fecking idiots if they don't sack him. They'll probably buy into this bullshit that today was a genuinely good performance. It was better then normal under LvG, but a 0-0 draw at home to Chelsea (who are fighting relegation at this point), after the run we've been on, is shite. No two ways about it. 4 wins in the last 17 games, none in the last 8... Dreadful form.
More than LvG has got for us. I'm not retarded enough to be happy with van Gaal's successes before he came to OT.
In the context of who we are and the state of our opposition, it was dogshit. Fair enough if you prefer the context of the previous few games, where it was much better. Is that our standard now then?
If that stat is correct then wtf is going on with our board
Just re checked it, it is actually 17
I hated moyes as much as anyone, but statistically, we had more shots per game (and the opposition had more shots per game against us). Overall, it's just as bad, just that Van Gaal has been about as boring as possible, despite spending 250 million. Yet Woodward has a hard on for him for some reason
Yup, it's rather defeating. I hope the standards are not slipping at the club.
You are so cool.Feck sake, I now pronounce us Manchesterpool United!
Even so, what's not invented is the facts. Whether it was a briefing or not, the pressure was on after the Norwich game and that's what our next 2 results were?
you can take any quote out of context. He said he isn't concerned about his job lol, I'm sure he's concerned that the performances aren't good
At least we had some good wins in there. Compile Moyes's victories vs Van Gaal's victories and Moyes's victories would come out on top in terms of goals, quality and purpose.
I suspect he'll either go in the summer after getting us in the top four or sacked after it becomes mathematically impossible to get a CL place.
Enjoyed the performance, first time in a while I have been totally engaged for 90 mins. Chelsea were poor and it may have been a different story if Diego Costa had been fit for them. Still unchanged on my position, LVG has got to go. No wins in 8 is not good enough.
It has become ludicrous. A manager of one of the teams lower in the league would be under very serious scrutiny with 4 wins out of 16, never mind the Manchester United manager.
Top team with top management will recognize when things aren't work out and act swiftly. Not our management sadly.
Well they clearly are.
This is absolutely insane. A draw against chelsea at old trafford has saved his job. Seriously unbelievableJust re checked it, it is actually 17
Your post was dogshit.
Biggest farce in the history of any sport ever
it honestly is getting that way.While I am lukewarm to the news of him staying for the moment, I don't see how this result is any worse than our previous four. People are feeling positive because of a change in performance on the pitch, regardless of the disappointing result.
Moyes was appallingly bad, the amount of home defeats, and seemingly a new record each time, "this team haven't won at OT for 241 years until now" type stuff regularly.
But I don't remember 5 home 0-0s, and 8 games without a win.
8 games without a win! At Manchester United!
