Unless he did a different post match to what I saw, not sure what is wrong with what he said. He acknowledged we didn't move the ball quick enough in the first half, it was better second half, but still not good enough. They penalty was a penalty, and it was important that we are in the next round (something Fergie said every time).
And all of the other recent success? The last manager to win the PL. Top 3 f
Where are our standards these days with people even remotely content with that game today.
I knew this thread will be like this..
It was a dog site performance but few teams would look too great against basically 10 defenders. It's a win at least
I hope he gets a striker or winger in Jan, and stops playing Rooney upfront. He's not a natural out and out striker where he can fall back on his instincts when his legs have gone.
Almost every other top team has to deal with this on a weekly basis, we dealt with it for years under Fergie and almost always came out on top because the quality of the team would usually get us through it. City today played a shite Norwich side (that beat us at OT) who also put 10 behind the ball and were able to easily beat them comprehensively, Arsenal had some struggles against Allerdyce's Sunderland but again were more than capable of making chances and putting them away.

But what am I saying, those are at least PL teams, we couldn't look threatening against an utterly rubbish League One side, must be because they have such defensive stalwarts channeling their inner early 90s Milan, of course that is the only sensible explanation.
Seems about 8.2% of the people on this forum are opposition fans
Where's the petition? We like a petition. Also how can he say it is harder to attack than defend. Defending is heart in your mouth time.
Teams come to OT, sit back, and counter, Sheffield just did the former.
Don't take this as a defence of LVG, the state of the attack is his fault. Depay has been no worse than Rooney, yet he is on the bench more than often, yet Rooney plays every week. I see the team being strangled by Rooney as much as LVG.
And Arsenal played with a B-team
Chambers and Oxlade in the midfield, Iwobi behind Grioud and Campbell and Walcott on the flanks and 17 year old Adelaide as a sub...Yet they had no problem beating a defensive Sunderland 3-1 with positive attacking football.
But somehow we have players like Herrera, Mata, Schweinsteiger, Rooney and can't even create a decent chance against a league one club
The difference, the manager and his philiopshy on the game
The problem is not this 1 game. As you said its a cup game.
The problem is this:
The problem is this:
Could you imagine Wenger with these players, he would get a tune out of them. We wouldn't win much, but we would be worth watching. Also he goes on about the ball not moving quickly enough, has he asked the players why they are struggling to do it? Maybe that is what he means about the dressing room being too nice. That they need to be telling a few home truths about movement etc.
Good clean sheet tonight well in lads
Mass hysteria and overreactions, on the caf ?!?!!
But this never happens !
When Fergie won games like this : "That's the form of a title/league winning side, winning when not playing near their best".

You are in wrong thread mate.
I'm shocked you would compare Fergie with LvG. It is you that's overreacted somewhat. The lengths you just went to justify LvG is bemusing to say the least.
Because you knew there would be better to come with a SAF side. That the bad games would not be the norm. With LvG it will just be more of the same and quite often not with the right result.
Games like this for Fergie were the exception. Performances like this are the best we can hope for at the moment under LVG.
I prefer root canals on all my teeth to having to watch United matches nowadays. Van Gaal football is a crime against humanity and has more negative impact on the human race than North Korea's recent H bomb test.
I am going to get a crown fitted on my tooth next week. Can't wait.
Scholes: "The players are bored, the fans are bored; everyone’s bored. You look at the manager and he looks bored as well.”
How do you know I don't?
I'm beginning to think we need a plane...
It's a defence and a bad one, if we are the constant in the problem, we might be the problem.
To fly straight into his massive head? I like your thinking.
2nd win after 8 games without one, so we've got a lot of experience of not winning when not playing near our best (although what evidence is there that we're much better than this?). That also was only ever said about Ferguson when it was actually a league game (wouldn't make much sense to be league winning form otherwise) so not a home game against a third tier side which was simply a continuation of how generally poor we've been for ages now.
Welcome to the dark side... You will soon learn the power of the dark side..
Too true. Everyone is waiting for this episode to end.Not what I had in mind, but it'll have to suffice.
Exactly. We're looking solid once again.. yet you'd think we are where Chelsea are based on the reactions off here.
he must not have heard that "the best form of defence is attack".
We have discussed locking him in the loo. Maybe we could put in him in a portaloo in the car park and someone could drop something on it. They would make a fortune selling tickets.
Scraping a extra-time win against a League One side who we had one shot on target against in open play is 'solid'?
It appears so to some. I could describe it other ways.
you must not have seen too many of Fergie's teams then.
It's just reached the point now where he just must go. There is no drastic change possible that will pick our season up - his comments just prove this. Not necessarily tonight, but when he said he preferred the first half against Swansea; the bereft of chances, rigid performance over us actually scoring goals in the second just tells you everything you need to know about the man. He's just not right for the job.
I'm beginning to think you're right. We've been playing like champions for a while... which is why we're 5th in the league, out of the UCL and out of CoC. True character of the champions elect.
I rarely listen to him anymore. I have MUTV, but just watch the U-21's as I am not inclined to sit through most games anymore. I have always loved watching my team. My interest is waning. I just want him gone and as soon as possible to give me some hope.
Your post is not very good.
Reading comprehension level : 4th grade. Good job.
