Moyes had the excuse of being inexperienced at managing a top top club (sorry Everyon but it's true), what excuse has LVG got?
If we miss out on a CL spot then it will most certainly be because of this idiots stupid selections and negative fecking tactics.

Van Gaal is fecking useless.
We complain about the same shit each week and yet nothing changes.
The "philosophy" is a bag of toss.

Agree about the feeling. However, my first genuinely serious doubts about Moyes came when he subbed Rooney for Smalling against Southampton to defend a 1-0 lead.
Clueless
We are fecking dire to watch.
We are on the course to make it into top 3? Have a look at the table, at the way we play, the squad at LvG's disposal and answer a couple of questios honestly:
1. Where in the table would Arsenal/Tottenham/Southampton be if they had a keeper like DDG?
2. Would Pocchetino or Koeman do better or worse compared to Louis with our squad at their disposal?
What's his record like for transfers in the last few seasons? Did he discover anyone of note?
I'm tempted to say some of this is Woody's fault, but not sure if LVG can be trusted to bring in what we need.

I think he might have lost me with that Smalling substitution at the end there.
Diabolical.
If we'd started the game with the same intensity as after we conceded then we would have won today.
LVG is totally to blame for yet another shit result.

He's been Dutch manager for the last few seasons so transfers weren't applicable.
I think he has had long enough now to show what he is capable of.
I am personally not convinced he is the best man for the job.
We are playing some horrendous football at the moment.

negative negative shit.
Obviously meant more with Bayern and AZ.
Worse than Moyes
I don't understand why he can't get up even once to issue instructions. It was obvious that what we were doing wasn't helping. Why not change something, if not the players, just some tactics. Giggs looks so useless next to him too. Doesn't seem to be doing anything.
I still don't have the "moyes" feeling like other people here. But for the life of me I can't understand what he's trying to do. I want to grab him by the head and shake it hard and just shout at him.

I was tearing my hair out at him delaying the substitution for so long. It's weird, we went from actually looking like a promising team a few weeks into the season, something that could be built upon to set us up nicely for the second half of the season but went backwards when 3-5-2 reared it's ugly head and the Rooney midfield experiment started happening.
It seems like he's shuffling from one system to the next without any consideration of what is actually happening on the pitch. Like in a few weeks we'll change again where we'll solve some problems but create brand new ones, ones that are easily avoidable.
The individual quality of our players seems to be the only thing dragging us forward at the minute.

The Dutch David Moyes.
Talks about balance, but then baffles me with his team sheet and formation
boring sh1t football.
Heartbreakingly true mate.
First time I've started to doubt him all season. Really not impressed with him today.
He hasn't showed many signs of intelligence nor adaptability so far
Our biggest problem, and the most worrying one.
The walls are closing in.
Can anyone honestly say we've improved one iota since the beginning of the season?
I felt same funnily enough, Robben to me was the best player at the world cup, was an absolute monster, apart from the diving, he never stopped running and trying to beat his man, really is underrated , its crazy how hes 30 yrs old, and is still so fast
Its actually amazing how any manager can have us playing so badly when you look at the players he has to use.
I've said it since the injuries started piling up very early on and his subs were beyond baffling. He's no better than Moyes, in fact he's worse because he actually spent on world class talent and the results are still as bad.
Less injuries at the moment.
We've regressed...massively.
When will the press become much more pointed with him? This is not good enough and much of it is due to his team selections, confusion regarding formations and game management. Spurs had a lucky escape!!
Agreed
Players aren't showing any ingenuity whatsoever.
His methods are working.
That's the scary part.

He does have luck on his side, and thats been known to take you quite far. Hopefully he would have wised up by the time his runs out.
His interview right now, I knew he'd mention them playing long ball. He constantly accuses other teams of it while completely ignoring thats what we do constantly
His "balance" remarks were surely made to try and justify his shit on a stick 352 tactics.
its pitiful when 99% of the United fan base is looking at his first 11, then looking at the subs bench and scratching there heads as to what the feck he's thinking of.
His plan B is to bring on Fellaini while ignoring the deeper core issues of the team he fielded. Then he decides to bring on Smalling.
Clueless beyond redemption, in a game like this he chooses to play with no midfield? And what was that Smalling sub all about? He needs to go....
I'm starting to think this myself. The guy has lost the plot. We weren't this boring under Moyes, were we?
Exactly. I dont see our players sulking, I can see them not being able to adapt to the philosophy. We are getting goals whenever we start actually playing direct fast and thus more risky football, instead of possession-based ultra cautious one.
