Van Gaal signed about 10 players and had four transfer windows to make his choice correctly and according to his own philosophy. No doubt, he's in significant part responsible for ruining his own plan.

He's been saying about moving the ball quicker all season, everytime we have a lacklustre display, which is most of them. Yes he has some pace up front, but most of yesterdays team neither have an iota of pace and also are not quick thinking. I think most people had an idea how we would play yesterday. LvG plays to the crowd, when the fans moan, he will bring this excuse out. When the fans wants a player in the side, he picks him. More often than not he blames the players rather than it being even slightly his fault.
We ok at the keeping the ball part. What would an in form Memphis and Di Maria do for us? We not too far off are we if you simplify like that. We've had the odd exhilarating performance under Louis.
I am. I'm new here, so unsure of the etiquette. Can I mention that a large part of the reason for doing so was reading posts by "gav81" in a thread called "the right replacement for LVG" on http://community.manutd.com/forums/7.aspx ? although I have been thinking about it myself these past few months too.
I'm fairly sure we could count them all on one hand. The fact that the likes of Memphis and Di Maria have never been 'in form' under LVG is his doing, we could throw out a hundred hypotheticals that would have made us less shite, like Rooney being back to 2010 levels, or Smalling being the next Rio, or as you mentioned Memphis not being as useful as a bag of bricks unless he's up against remarkably rubbish sides. It's pointless to even try to make these scenarios up, literally any failed manager could be excused using them.
Yeah you right. Them hypothetical equations sure do keep a conversation going around here though as useless as they are.
Relatively not that far, I agree but youngsters may need few years to sharpen their skills further through gain of experience, our defense could use one or two ball winners like it was in Rio & Vidic era, we need more specialists in distribution, free kicks, corners but also steel combined with creativity in midfield that won't be haunted by injuries which may got to do with simple inefficiency when team needs a boost of tempo in certain moments that are crucial in winning matches. Someone who can easily take his opponent by skill and speed like Martial would always be welcomed here if not mostly needed in probably greater numbers.
Reading gav81's posts changed my mind on exactly those concerns. I have to say I loved how the team played with Roy as captain and have enormous respect for O'Neill, so gav81's arguments do carry that much more weight for me.
This thread will probably get to 750 before he is sacked.
Title says "Mourinho will be Schweinsteiger's new boss"
This is where Ryan Giggs comes into the discussion. He possibly could be the man to carry on the job. I'm sure some of Louis methods have rubbed off on him and of course we know that he carries United's DNA.
There's enough in Louis' CV to suggest his ways are useful to say the least. Maybe Ryan sees things he would tweak that could bring about better results.
Just imagine he gets his extension for another year after the three year contract. We could double this thread
I wish him all best and I would love him repair his home club as much as personal life with his family but we don't have much reference on Giggs as a leader of one of the biggest sport institutions in the world. Such experienced manager as Louis van Gaal cannot handle the league let alone simple expectation of being a Champions League team. Three years of stagnation is nothing scary but it may be alarming when you see how many competitive managers are on their way here, offering fresh energy to our biggest rivals and ambitious goals to achieve.
Yes but you have to realize that the mighty tribe of Villa valiantly put up eleventy-thousand and nine defensive stalwarts behind the foot-ball, only Louis of Gaal could mastermind such a decisive result, his ways of playing with said ball are sacrosanct.
