Every game we play means one game less of van Gaal. Only positive I can find.

Smalling, Blind, McNair, Love, Mata, Carrick, Herrera, Memphis, Lingard, Schneiderlin and Pereira were all shit.

Other then that, I only have positives.

Disgraceful really. 3/4 of the players out there are average or below though and we have a fraud as manager so I don't know why we are surprised.

Genuinely felt like slapping Van Gaal when they showed the shot of him sitting on the bench looking glum.

Any reputation he's had in football is surely destroyed now. He'll retire as the man who took Manchester United out of the Top 10.

21% of fans predicted that we'd beat these guys.
I predicted a draw...but even I was overly optimistic.

I think our fans need to re-evaluate their expectations of what sort of team we are and our current standard.
Even I did not think Midgetland could win...but they did.

Though, we did win the possession battle...so there is that, I suppose.

I don't even get disappointed anymore.. Maybe that's because I am kinda expecting it to happen. What a gutless performance that was.

What possible justification is there for keeping him now? Make Martial player-manager, he can't be any worse ffs.

LVG's notebook
I have hit rock bottom with this team. There is not a game that comes up that makes me think we can win.

This is our only hope for the CL - I have no hope.

Awful, awful performance. LVG, and Manchester United as a whole should be ashamed and embarrassed tonight. It could've been a lot worse.

We're so bad that we've actually become entertaining again. Genuinely laughed out loud at least twice during that game. It's actually amazing. :lol:

I'm not sure what's worse. The confounding averageness of that line-up, or the fact that our full strength team isn't actually a lot better than that one on paper.

I can't even spell the other team's name. No offence meant.

1 win in 10 for Midtjylland, before 2 months without football. And they still pulled our trousers down. It's laughable really.

To your left.
2-1 away in Europe is not bad. Away goal and all that. 1-0 at home will be enough.

Ugh who am I kidding? You can't put a positive spin on losing to Michuland can you :(
