I agree, Van Gaal seems more and more appropriate as the new manager, he's supposed to be a tough old bastard, and these players need a bloody good kick up the arse.
That's what they need.

Right so you're one of these idiots who thinks Rooney running around like a headless chicken equates to good effective football. Jesus Christ.That is true when he wasn't fit, but when he has been fit than he was one of the few this season that hasn't massively underperformed on a very consistent basis. That list also includes Januzaj, DDG and Mata. All the rest has been shown out this season for what they truely are, not good enough, I'll throw a bone to RVP because he hasn't been fit either (and when he was he scored the goals).
United in the last couple of games, not brilliant, but not far as fecked as they were today. Difference between United today and last week (en the weeks before) Rooney on the pitch.
But no go on and bitch how he is the personification of every single problem here at United, while the truth maybay closer to the opposite.
And he doesn't give a feck about reputations.See that bollocking he was giving the Ajax team? Legends now! Back then he drilled the work ethic into them....I agree, Van Gaal seems more and more appropriate as the new manager, he's supposed to be a tough old bastard, and these players need a bloody good kick up the arse.
There's plenty of precedent to suggest that when a new manager comes in all the bad form goes away and the form picks. Especially after a super performance from last week in the second half. No this is more than a confidence issue.True and our wide players, in particular, were atrocious today (no surprises there considering the lack of quality). I think the higher tempo football that we wanted would have led to more chances being created though.
You'd think with the amount of leaks we've had this season, that would have come out. I think it might be more to do with the confidence being so low from the poor season that it's hard to pick them up.
sometimes one year is all it takes to show up. He should not be here next season...to Newcastle probably.Carrick has been one of our worst players this season, massive blame falls on his shoulders for our collapse since Fergie left. Truely this guy has fallen so low comparred to his performances last year.
We have always said, we don't have the best midfield, but alteast we have Carrick and when he is fit, he performs on a consistent basis. This season, he is actually been one of our worst midfielders, says it all about this season.
So you just walk out if we don't play so well?You do if your manager is clueless and the players look lost.
in fairness it's no surprise giggs likes 2 wingers and 2 strikers given his history. united haven't really played a #10 and have won a bunch. he obviously had to start mata but i would guess, could be wrong, that he doesn't love him. he likes pace and directnessAnd both of them stayed on but the Spaniard was taken off......the ugly face of racism at Utd
A nasty person and a bully? Really? You don't seem to get the joke. I was responding to a bit of sarcasm shown in a post. But if you don't get the joke, fair enough.So you're a nasty person and a bully. Is it just today or as per usual? Just curious
The United way........he obviously had to start mata but i would guess, could be wrong, that he doesn't love him. he likes pace and directness
Aye the 85 minutes prior are forgotten about if you leave 5 minutes before the end. I'll remember that.So you just walk out if we don't play so well?
What happened to getting behind them.
If it was intentional, I hope some of them won't moan that they get no game time when a load of new players come in.Has to be intentional...only way to explain such utter crap
My thoughts as well. People have been harsh on Giggs because of all the frustration the whole season.What's so disappointing is that we lost & I wasn't expecting it. Under Moyes I accepted a loss as I didn't expect us to win.
You can't question the fans' commitment FFS. We've been behind Moyes more than most clubs would have.It went pear shaped I know but we gave him and the team a chance and they've repaid us with a performance like thatSo you just walk out if we don't play so well?
What happened to getting behind them.
Can we start with mortaring a few players? Now where shall we start...except Januszaj,Rooney and DDGThe class of 92 is a serious problem. They are very vocal and g neville is rambling on and on about how united play and then scholes is on sky saying fellani is rubbish and so on.
Its a bit like all those liverpool pundits from the 70s who were giving out about there different managers who came in.
We need some soviet union style media enforcement. Anyone who speaks out about man utd and the new manager should be sent to North Korea.
I never questioned the fans commitment, fans leaving early is something I've always had a gripe with.You can't question the fans' commitment FFS. We've been behind Moyes more than most clubs would have.It went pear shaped I know but we gave him and the team a chance and they've repaid us with a performance like that
What do you reckon it is so? I doubt it's a case of the players revolting against Giggs already. Perhaps mentally a lot of them are already gone somewhere else, be it new clubs or on holidays after a terrible season.There's plenty of precedent to suggest that when a new manager comes in all the bad form goes away and the form picks. Especially after a super performance from last week in the second half. No this is more than a confidence issue.
I agree. Lindegarrde had me excited saying giggs was the new pep.You can't question the fans' commitment FFS. We've been behind Moyes more than most clubs would have.It went pear shaped I know but we gave him and the team a chance and they've repaid us with a performance like that
How Can you recover from that accusation? It must hurtA nasty person and a bully? Really? You don't seem to get the joke. I was responding to a bit of sarcasm shown in a post. But if you don't get the joke, fair enough.
Well hopefully that's the case. Many players have been proving all season they don't deserve the playing time. Genuinely looking forward to LVG coming in and tearing shit upIf it was intentional, I hope some of them won't moan that they get no game time when a load of new players come in.
Now that's a great point. Rio looked set to leave until a few days back. Vida is leaving. Pat has been criticised for how poor he has been this season. Hernandez is not happy with his playing time. Welbeck was unhappy up until last week.What do you reckon it is so? I doubt it's a case of the players revolting against Giggs already. Perhaps they a lot of mentally a lot of them are already gone somewhere else, be it new clubs or on holidays after a terrible season.
Shows players are not the most intelligent.We beat a side that is going to be relegated and he's the new Pep?I agree. Lindegarrde had me excited saying giggs was the new pep.
The players werent even moving today. Look at liverpool, all there players move and move. We just static waiting for a ball to bounce our way.
Morale is low in the team. Need a man who will shape them up
Yeah nah you're totally right, the fans ought to be applauded for making it all the way to the 85th minute.Aye the 85 minutes prior are forgotten about if you leave 5 minutes before the end. I'll remember that.
Yes... I'm utterly shattered.How Can you recover from that accusation? It must hurt
Sparky?Our shit performances this season could cost another manager his job, and he's one of our own. Can anyone guess who I'm talking about?
id have rooney up top, mata in behind and then a few new players around them.Can we start with mortaring a few players? Now where shall we start...except Januszaj,Rooney and DDG
Ole. We've guaranteed relegation for Cardiff I'm sure. Wouldn't be surprised if they sacked him.Sparky?
Bruce?
Ole?......
errr.....Giggs?
No wait got it........MOYES
Just take heart from today's performance...it was uplifting enough to get over being called a nasty bully.Yes... I'm utterly shattered.
thats a problem. right now the players have too much say.Shows players are not the most intelligent.We beat a side that is going to be relegated and he's the new Pep?
I mean more like moyes royally fecked up in both transfer windows. Last summer we needed to sign a proper midfielder at least to gradually phase out the experienced players, but we let it go on for too long and so the whole team aged collectively without strengthening it and taking the burden off them. Carrick would be better next to a good midfielder, as would everyone else. Like this they all look shite because none of them are very good individually (midfield).I'm really struggling to see how we need to sell a load of players because Moyes ruined them. I'm seeing the need for a big change because the player are either past it or don't have the right attitude and application.
Class of 92 has done its jobYou complete and utter motherfeckers
You complete and utter motherfeckers
You would think that the coaches would have seen that they have taken 4 points out of 6 from City and the Rentboys, were unlucky to lose at Anfield and have just trashed Cardiff. Expect a bloody hard game against a side showing top 5 football and comittmentYou have to give credit where it is due, Sunderland played really well and deserved to win, could've had 2 or 3 even. Remember that this team ended Mourinoh's winning streak at Stamford Bridge. Gus Poyet has really turned their season around in an incredible manner.
Now as to our lads, I felt as though we werent that poor but attempting to break down a very well organized defense proved quite difficult. Carrick and Fletcher couldnt handle the pressing from Sunderland and lost the ball too many times this is again credit to Sunderland for identifying our weaknesses and exploiting them. I believe Giggsy made a mistake with the starting lineup in the form of Young and Nani. While Young did actually make attempts to cross and to beat his man but I just cant stand the sight of him tbf. I also think Giggsy made a huge blunder by subbing out Mata I would've kept him in and played with Carrick in the middle towards the end of the game.
It is strange that I am not feeling angry or depressed after a loss I guess this how this season has been but getting beaten 7 times at Old Trafford is an atrocious record.
True, watching Ashley Young bravely cross the ball at the S'Land defender's legs brought a shiver down my spine. I think I'll let my teacher be for now. He's a Liverpool fan. His life can't get any worse right now, so maybe next time.Just take heart from today's performance...it was uplifting enough to get over being called a nasty bully.
But I would report it to a teacher
