Manchester United 1:2 Norwich City

Post-match discussion


Sat, 19 December 2015

I don't believe in Van Gaal any more, it's as simple as that. We are not going to ever play good football under him and we're not going to win anything with him. I'd take Mourinho in a heart beat
 
With so much pressure, that was the worst game yet.

I wasn't worried about LVGs job before this game, but the players' lack of passion is telling.
 
Sack him and Goggs. Mata needs to go as does Rooney. Blind shouldn't be starting. Neither Fellaini. We have some shit in the squad. First of all sack the manager and the sister in law shagger.
 
Even Moyes and Giggs beat these 4-0.

Yeah, well, he also gave his old club a double over us, along with Liverpool and City, shipping two 0-3 losses against them at home.

The comparisons to Moyes are so facile.
 
The worse United team I've seen and no my name isn't Harry.

Jones should never play for us again.

Sack Van Gaal
 
Game was over when they went 2-0 up. 2-1 down and there's no urgency at all. Sack him.
 
I've stuck by him up until this point but time to sack him now. Of course I don't trust the club to recognise the need to replace van Gaal with Mourinho.

We're back to the drawing board here, nearly as bad as it was two years ago, not sure I fancy us to finish top four.
 
There was a period last season when we were outplaying the likes of Liverpool, Spurs and City that I genuinely thought he was the right man. It looked like it all had a clicked.

It's evident now that we are a long way off, and his fate is pretty much decided now. He will be sacked by Monday, i'm sure of it.
 
I'm really worried.

LVG isn't a cnut. He isn't useless. No matter what some idiots around here say. FFS he's the manager.

But at the moment we aren't good enough. It's absolutely maddening to see us end up in this position. We can't be losing to Norwich and Bournemouth in successive games. We just can't.

Our players look leggy. Daley Blind at the end looked like a pub player. We don't get anyone in the box but everytime we break they seem to outnumber us.

I honestly would rather have Park and Rafael in midfield at the moment. It's like our midfield are non existent. Either we go attacking at which point our defence completely crumbles, or we play incredibly defensive and don't have a shot all game.

So yeah I'm worried because I'm not sure what the answer is. Martial and Depay are good...but are they good enough now? How have we ended up with Ashley Young and Blind as our full backs. If we're going to have a lot of posssession we need these players to constantly bombard the others and Young has never played there in his career and Blind is as fast as I was last night after a Jalfrezi and 5 pints.

So I don't know what to do. If we get rid of LVG what is the next guy going to do? He has an idea of where he wants us to be, but I don't know how we're going to get there. Really despondent, I'm going into complete media black out.

We didn't even score that fecking glorious chance at the end FFS we could have been celebrating on the pitch.
 
If the board has any spine and actually care about upholding the standards of the self proclaimed biggest club in the world, they would sack him tonight. First loss to Norwich at OT since 1989 FFS.
 
Worst than the Bournemouth game. Fellaini shouldn't be in midfield, couldn't be arsed to chase any runners. I am thinking that the players are not playing for the manager now.
 
Some players need to take the blame. Doesn't matter who the manager is. You're playing for United. Some just gave up today.
 
Norwich are never going to win the league but they still turn up every week, the pricks

Shame we don't bother turning up, eh!
 
We've made zero progress since last season, if anything, we've regressed.

Time to bring someone else in with some fresh ideas and sack Van Gaal and Giggs. We don't need him standing in the wings either, it's an unnecessary distraction.
 
Just terrible when some players don't even try. End must be near for LVG now, there's just no fight in the team & key players just no longer have the ability to turn games. Looking at yhat game we have a maximum of 4 players who deserve to be playing for United! Terrible terrible terrible.
 
Amazed if he survives this.

Not been one to call his head thus far but this just felt like one of them moments. Another Fulham.

It's not good enough. Out of an easy CL group and 1 point from West Ham and Norwich at home and Bournemouth away. No win in 6.

It's the same every game. We start well, press high and look attacking but it fades after ten minutes without us scoring and then struggling.

After the season he's had and the stuff he's said I'm not sure I want Mourinho here but I've gotta feeling it could be LVG out / Jose in very very soon.
