I am not saying he should not have added anything else. But "only" for this game, I do not put all the blame on LvG. The players he put were decent enough to beat the other team. They did not seem to be trying much.

But it is not enough to name first XI. There is a lot more to manager's job, a lot of which van Gaal has been doing wrong hence the result.

He sits on his arse not offering encouragement And partakes in defeatist post match interviews. It's no wonder his players look beaten

Should be sacked for comments against the Irish, I mean why blame Murphy?

Not like he missed much!

Wonder if big Ed took a picture of the scoreboard, or is that not a low enough point for him?

I think there's a pretty good brewery called Midtjylland something. Other than that I'm counting the days until lvg's gone, maybe hire a proper fecking football director instead of that leprechaun Woodward as well.

Jesus - it's shocking how bad you've become. It's actually quite sad.

Unless you want to turn into Liverpool, you really need to make some drastic changes and FAST.

I know. I've never been a big fan of Jose but I'd take him tomorrow if he could get us organised and playing football.

Because his stout is not as nice as Arthur's

Louis told us we needed to lower our expectations.
I expected that result.
What now then Louis?!

Lowered my expectations a long time ago, but when do we hit bottom?

Exactly. How can you expect to motivate others if you can't motivate yourself?

 

[ghagua]

Pretty much my thought, though I haven't seen anything from Pereira or keane to suggest they should be given a chance.

How players like Depay, Herrera and Carrick can get caught so much with the ball was baffling, Smalling has gone into Moyes mode where he has lost all composure, Blind one of our best passes resorting to hoof ball, Mata being Houdini. Lingard missing a simple opportunity through lack of composure. All these players really let the youth players down. Nothing to do with tactics and game plan.

You just answered your own questions. If players like Carrick, Herrera and Depay are not performing, why not put in Keane and Pereira and see if they produce anything.
