Objectives? The double. League and FA cup. Realistic? 2nd place. Disaster? 3rd place and no trophies.
Season 2 LVG - Objectives and expectations
- Thread starter LazyRed-Ninja
- Start date
A trophy is a minimum this season. Otherwise, there is no point making all these changes only to be further behind, playing attractive football on the rare occasion, and having nothing to show for it.
Objective personified in a 200/1 bet.

I don't think you know what that word means.
Target: League and and Cup
Expectation: League and semis in all cups.
Expectation: League and semis in all cups.
Unless I'm wrong, is this not his second season coming up? I.e 15/16?
Minimum: Title challenge with a top 3 finish and second round in the Champions League, a cup would be nice too. I think it's a fair ask with a few extra goals scored and fewer conceded.
Top 2 in the league serious challenge. QF UCL.
I like us to win something but for me the league is the priority, we want our fecking title back!

Anyone make an accurate prediction?
So innocent.
And not one of the things you were looking for were either outrageous or over expectant.
It just shows what an awful job LVG has done this season.
Rightly, had no expectations with the fraudster in charge. As for him meeting the objective: LOL!
The Arsenalization of Manchester United will be complete VG is given another season. The recent spin out of the club - injuries, youth revival, 4th as a goal - reeks of the excuses Arsenal used to come up with after every failed season.
One round off the League Cup expectation.
One round away from the FA Cup expectation.
A place off the Champions League expectation, though we met it in the Europa League.
Might probably finish around 5th or 6th which is a ways off the expectation.
Not bad.
I chose to quote this post at random, as most of us expected a title challenge. Me included.
So, how about 6th place in the league and no trophies? Perhaps this should've been an option in the poll.
What about the "beautiful football" expectation?
We have been treated to 1 goal per game and our team is ranked as one of the most boring teams to watch in the entire English league system.
I think you feel way off the mark, on that one.
Considering lvg was meant to be superior to our previous manager, could with transfer spend,top4 and trophy were minimum expectations.
If West Ham win the FA Cup replay against Manchester United, i'll be wrong on everything.
Looking like we could scrape 2 out of my 4 minimum expectations.
He's failed (West Ham Replay still to play withstanding) in everything that was set out in front of him. There is literally no way to argue a case for him unless you're trolling.
League challenge (finishing 3rd at absolute worst)? Non-existent.
FA Cup? Unlikely.
League Cup? Embarrassed by Championship team at home with a strong side.
UCL? Put out of a group with three mediocre sides.
EL? Edgy two-leg tie against a Danish side. Put out comfortably by fiercest and oldest rivals.
The idea the FA Cup or finishing 4th should be any way acceptable is just laughable. I mean you really can only laugh at anyone still defending him and his management staff (including Giggs).

I must admit i thought van Gaal would be able to do a good, solid job at United but that hasn't happened and when he leaves United at the end of the season, he can have no complaints.
Louis is doing an exceptional job. He's laying the groundwork for his successor, and planning for the next decade in a way that only the keenest observers can appreciate. Just ask Lahm, Xavi, Guardiola™ - they know where it's at. The next time United win anything of some significance, it'll be down to Van Gaal's vision - and you'll know who to thank, heathen.
He's failed to even get 4th, embarassed us in not one, but two European competitions this season, while systematically alienating 200mill worth of players... he bought... his players, his squad, (Moyes was mostly limited to Sir Alex's squad i.e. another mans playing staff) all while playing the worst brand of football ever seen in the PL era.
If he's still here at the end of the summer, It will just be utterly inexplicable.

We need one of these for next season. I'd like to know where people think we'll finish next year, assuming he's still here...
That was a hope, not an expectation.
I meant my expectation wasn't too far away.Not bad???The feck??
Even Leicester will finish ahead of us.
So, how are the objectives/expectations coming along???
Good CL run 2/10
Challenge for the title and finish top 3 4/10
Youth Development 9/10
Improvement in our football (philosophy) 3/10
Expected end of year mark 4/10 Please see me!

That's some generous grading there, hope you're not a teacher in real life. 0/10 of 3 of those is more like it.
Pereira, Januzaj and Wilson want a word with you about 9/10 Youth Development.
Jeez guys, I just want him to scrape through so that he doesn't repeat the year.
LOL Very good
More failures than achievements, which looks like it'll be the story of the season as a whole.
What does the poll for 2016/17 season have to do with LVG Season 2
Realise is an old thread but he'll be gone in the summer so FA Cup -let's win it.
