The Taurean
looks like a chipmunk
7 months in and we are struggling to make passes required for possession football.
I found Moyes a lot more likeable. I felt sorry or him.Apart from that, it's been largely the same shite, just under a different manager, albeit a more likeable one.
Don't worry, it's "part of the process".......We have had 66% of the ball, although QPR have had more than twice as many shots.
While I didn't saw what Moyes was trying to do, I agree with your second point.You could at least see what Moyes was trying to do. This is just a mad man with a huge ego who is on a crusade to show the world how brilliant and intelligent he is.
It's worse than the Moyes feeling, because Rooney, Mata, Di Maria and Falcao all started the game and we're still a complete shambles.I'm starting to get that Moyes feeling.
With each day passing it looks that there won't be a fight. At-least, not from us.It looks like it'll be a fight for top four now. If we only scrape fourth after spending so much, when Woodward said in the summer that the aim was top three, do people think the board will be happy with Van Gaal?
The way we are going we would be lucky to get top 4. Southampton have only 2 away games against top half teams for the rest of the seaon and Arsenal always, always gets 4th.It looks like it'll be a fight for top four now.

Another 7th place finish certainly doesn't look unrealistic at this point in time.With each day passing it looks that there won't be a fight. At-least, not from us.
Well it probably is, dominating the ball and creating a lot of chances whilst limiting your opponents chances are what he wants to do, he's just struggling to get the team to consistently create chances and limit the opposition's chances.Don't worry, it's "part of the process".......
at least the hoof from the back now has a 5% chance of actually ending up at the feet of a united player.Fellaini is our tactical switch at half time.
I would want him out much before that. If he is unwilling to mend his ways than it is better to part ways to stop the rot.Honestly, I don't see us winning anything under him. If he gets top four, I'd give him next season till January to see how well he's done and see if we're genuinely in the title race and in the European mix. If we're not, get rid of him and get someone else in.
If we don't make top four this season, I want him out.
Agree with the bold. If he gets top four though, I'd give him all of next season under the proviso that we improve position wise and finish a lot closer to whoever wins the league.Honestly, I don't see us winning anything under him. If he gets top four, I'd give him next season till January to assess how well he's done and see if we're genuinely in the title race and in the European mix. If we're not by then and are still playing the tumescent football we see today, get rid of him and get someone else in. Bollocks to the philosophy. We didn't need one before, we sure as hell don't need one now.
If we don't make top four this season, I want him out. Plain and simple.
Southampton are missing two key players for a few weeks now so I'm hoping they go on another poor run now.The way we are going we would be lucky to get top 4. Southampton have only 2 away games against top half teams for the rest of the seaon and Arsenal always, always gets 4th.
Well to be fair it's a moot point, because the club won't act that way. We saw it with Moyes last season. Until it was mathematically impossible for us to finish top four, only then was he sacked. Same would apply for Van Gaal, I should think.I would want him out much before that. If he is unwilling to mend his ways than it is better to part ways to stop the rot.
We need to do everything to get top 4.
At least its a bit more entertainingWinning but it's still rubbish.
Definitely.It is crazy that, as soon as we changed formation, we became much better.
Surely, Van Gaal has to change it now.
Had an extra person up front to press their defence and hold the ball, had more options for our midfield, and meant our defence had to go forward rather than sideways.It is crazy that, as soon as we changed formation, we became much better.
Surely, Van Gaal has to change it now.
He needs to do a hell of alot more than that at this moment in time.As long as he can get us into cl. He is the right man for us.
