I hate the majority of our fans with a passion.
He was very bad yes. And Di Maria was my motm by far.Thats enough for anyone to get MOTM, have you ever played football? He scored 2 goals and wasnt the worst defender. Who was your man of the match then?
Pretty sure someone rigged it then, considering the outcome is about the same every time.Im convinced this is how LVG picks his teams

I have decent wit, and intelligence but most importantly Im not a spoiled brat who cant give things time and patience.Na, that accolade belongs to you, such wit.
We're five clear of Liverpool in 7th with a killer run-in.Yet in 3rd position.
the strange thing is, I reckon we are going to do alright against the top teams....We're five clear of Liverpool in 7th with a killer run-in.
I'm not counting our chickens.
We can put him on show vs Preston and they might consider it.How bad is Evans? I can't even imagine any club taking him off us.
They probably knew that we didnt exactly perform tonight and Burnley caused us problems,Id say it was more of a massive sigh of relief we got the 3rd goal.I think what is worrying, is the lack of reaction to RVP scoring the 3rd, albeit from a penalty. There is just something wrong with this team mentally. No Fergie team would not celebrate a goal in that way no matter how bad we had played.
Do you think LVG or the players should be immune from criticism?I have decent wit, and intelligence but most importantly Im not a spoiled brat who cant give things time and patience.
Except right at the beginning when Ings missed a sitter.Well controlled 2nd half performance, Burnly only had 1 shot on target and never looked liked scoring in the half
Mata can't play in midfield, he's a #10, Fellaini and Herrera, yes.If the injury to Blind doesn't force LVG to rethink his tactics and get two of Herrera/ Fellaini/ Mata in midfield and move Rooney back up front, then nothing will.
Good result, next two PL games are Swansea away and Sunderland at home, which we should be winning really. But as we've found out, there are no 'bankers' under the LVG regime.
Still a better option and superior passing to Rooney, but yes - I guess our first choice CM pairing should be Fellaini and Herrera.Mata can't play in midfield, he's a #10, Fellaini and Herrera, yes.
No, I know what coaching and building a team is like. I know that theres been many variables with United this season and considering the amount of changes in this past few years that LVG is doing alright. Is he beyond criticism? No but the level he gets on social media, the real media, and the so called supporter base is very disproportionate. Theres an instant results culture thats permeated football and has reared its ugly head in Uniteds supporter base since Fergie retired.Do you think LVG or the players should be immune from criticism?
Are you afraid to criticise the players or management in case it makes you look like a bad fan?
I'll prefer Blind and Herrera, but if Blind is missing through injury then Fellaini should get the nod over Mata, maybe Mata + Rooney as the front two but LVG will surely not do it.Still a better option and superior passing to Rooney, but yes - I guess our first choice CM pairing should be Fellaini and Herrera.
I'd say that Blind probably wouldn't be injured if he didn't set up the team way he did in the first place, i.e. if he didn't let Burnley be all over us due to no fecking midfield. Jones is just being Jones, he can't even fecking walk properly so his injury was inevitable, sooner or later that is.I just dont understand some people here...Having a go at LvG for putting Rooney in DM position...We had really bad 1st half,2 players lost due injuries,lost our only DM in Blind,who you would put instead?One of our ball playing CBs?
At the start of 2nd half he switched us to old 4-4-2(remember,during SAF,some said its zombie and outdated formation) we looked better,compared with 1st half our 2 strikers looked better too.
As long as we're in third place and it is his debut season, no one should be calling for his head. We make the Champions League, he brings in who he wishes in the summer, and we assess from there whether people ought to be calling for his head.I didn't call for his head.
I said that people will begin to call for his head if things continue (or words to that effect). I can't remember the last time we convinced over 90 minutes. We're in February now, so it's not unreasonable to ask for some team cohesion.
Some of the performances tonight were embarrassing.
Meanwhile, Van Gaal continues to duck the difficult decisions, such as ditching Falcao. The bloke is a wage thief; there's absolutely no defending him.
I agree with that.As long as we're in third place and it is his debut season, no one should be calling for his head. We make the Champions League, he brings in who he wishes in the summer, and we assess from there whether people ought to be calling for his head.
I agree with you concerning Falcao. His technical abilities on the ball don't suit LvG's technical approach to the game. To some degree, I think there's pressure to play Radamel, which I believe will be remedied in the summer when he isn't purchased. I still think LvG knows what he is doing.

But this weekend the gap will likely grow.We're five clear of Liverpool in 7th with a killer run-in.

True. The Dippers have a tricky run-in too. Hopefully Europa League fixtures will take it out of them too.True but their run in doesn't look all that easy too. I think we're in a tad better position because we've got a cushion.
Liverpool have City and Southampton next. That 5 points could potentially become 8 or 9. I wouldn't worry about them.I agree with that.
But with our killer run-in allied to the fact that we're only five points clear of Liverpool, I don't think we ca count our chickens when it comes to Champions League qualification.
We really fecked up against Southampton. A win at home against them would've put us well clear of the pack.
Why do people keep mentioning Liverpool. Yes they're in a good form but Europa league is back soon for them and their next 2 games are really tuff, Southampton and City. Yes we have a hell of a march and all but cause of that we need to try to make a bit of cushion before that if possible.I agree with that.

And I keep saying … City, 'pool, Spurs and Arsenal ALL have Europe coming up … 'pool also still in the FA cup too. Spurs particularly had problems juggling so many games earlier in the season and I really think them and the dippers will fall out of the race (then EuropeTrue but their run in doesn't look all that easy too.
