Midtjylland 2:1 Manchester United

Post-match discussion


Thu, 18 February 2016

If both teams had their badges removed and you didn't know who were supposed to be the superstars, you'd swear the Danish team had the £37m and £26m talents in Sisto and Inuecho.

We're appalling. It's not just LVG that needs to go; some of these players are not good enough to be here.
 
Precious away goal against the giants of Scandinavia man. That's what we have sunk to.
 
Our injury list, long though it is, cannot be used an excuse for this. Absolutely shocking performance. A crumb of positivity? Changing GK that close to kick off can be quite disrupting but Romero was superb. If I was a Shrewsbury fan I'd be happy to have watched that!
 
I miss the good old days

I cannot honestly see how he would have done any worse this season.
 
There should be no reason Van Gaal is still the manager after that. That was absolutely pathetic.

We were lucky to not lose by more.
 
Pretty embarrassing, although we do have probably our silliest injury crisis for years, and boy have we had some.
De Gea injuring himself just before kick off, a day after Rooney being out, really shows the sh!t luck Van Gaal has had on top of his own appalling work.
 
I feel like the past 2 months, if not more, both the players and Van Gaal have given up completely and clearly can't be bothered to do anything. Just going through the motions until he inevitably gets sacked. It's far worse then it ever was with Moyes. Just brutal now.
 
Surely, SURELY, we've suffered enough now? This must be the final straw, right? Right?

I don't believe my eyes, yet I'm not even surprised.
 
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.

Yep. People need to realise that as bad as van Gaal is, the players are also pretty average and limited.
Loads of relegated teams have had crap managers, and it doesn't stop the players also being quite crap.
 
Just copy and paste comments from other match threads from this season. Simply awful. Our season could be over by next Thursday and probably will. Sack him now. FFS.
 
A nadir has been reached surely?

If not then I'm in a world I don't understand anymore
 
They haven't played for 2 months!

Pathetic pathetic pathetic pathetic. LVG laying foundations? If he was working in construction his buildings would be fecking condemned.
 
This result cannot be underestimated.

Shameful night for the club. Will probably go through but the manner of that performance is the worst I have ever watched
 
Also i found out that 0 isn't a valid ranking today.
Previous worst i'd gave was a 4 i think?

Yeah ...
feck that guy
(Guess who?)
 
He'll still be here tomorrow. His argument: 13 injuries and we're still in with a shout of qualifying for the Champions League.

We have 36 points left to play for and in those we have to get 7 more than City as it stands.........
 
That second goal was hilarity. Love and Carrick just staring at the bloke, not bothering to even challenge him as he actively struggled to control the ball... then Mata comes along trying to be clever and nick the ball away... horribly cocks it up, and the guy with loads of room (as the aforementioned Carrick and Love again just felt like giving the bloke all the space in the world) to shoot... just great work all round.
 
I'm not sure which element pisses me off more, that performance or knowing those players will get next to feck all of the blame for it. They probably can't believe their luck, carried by a 20 year old kid on the pitch and shielded by the manager off it, all while raking in an absolute fortune each and every week.
 
Was critical to get the away goal. 1-0 at Old Trafford and Manchester United are through!!

What's the fuss all about?
