The Manchester United Thread

moyes was tore apart every week he never stood a chance no matter how well he done because he wasnt a big enough name

if LVG doesnt get top 4 this season he will get another year why after spending over 150 million and playing dreadful all year just because of this so called big name he has




Pundits defended moyes, I think van gaal is doing poor btw and spent fairly poorly.
 
Very similar sides and although LVG took over from a team in 7th, it was also the majority of the team that has won the league

Adding on top 150million United should be performing better IMO - Again its quite fortunate others teams had very poor starts and the points total this year is very low
Some of the players have won Championships yes, but last season would still have a effect on them. Moyes spent nearly 70m on 2 players which LVG has got the better out of. And 150m on players that have not been fit aint gonna help either. I don't think 1 or maybe only one player has played about 15 games this season the rest about 10.
 
Don't think it matters who's fit or not anymore, the football would still be horrific.

I disagree. If you cant pick a consistent team performance will suffer. One of my hates of Moyes he changed the team every single game last season apart from the last or 2nd from last.
 
Moyes was defended by pundits and let off by the media. LVG will be roasted.

Moyes did very bad he took the champions to 7th, when does that happen in modern football.

To be fair, his points tally is the same as LVG at this stage. The only reason he was 7th was because other teams were much better. This season arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool started off as poorly as United which helps LVG be in the top 4 instead. Not forgetting that LVG has spent substantially more in the transfer market as well

Maybe you forget that United were champions as recently as 2013. Their squad is full of winners such as Rooney, Mata, Falcao and Di Maria who won so many trophies. One bad season doesn't suddenly destroy their confidence and self-belief

Moyes spent nearly 70m on two players, why do pro moyes folk fail to mention this and the fact he pointlessly chased cesc and ronaldo while the rumour goes he called off the garay, strootman and thiago deals which all made much more sense over fellaini and mata.
 
People keep going on about the money LVG has spent. Moyes spent after he took over the champions FFS. And like has been said a million times most of our new signings have been injured most the season and have barely started 10 games each.

People just choose to forget this to suit there arguments!

Well that's debatable, we've had near full strength for a couple of games and the players either have no bollocks or are instructed to play like ***** which wouldn't change if that's the tactic.

Not entirely know, but everything else on top of that does not help either.

I am not defending Moyes record in the transfer market. All I am saying is that LVG spent substantially more, got in more world-class players and thus, should be doing much better than he is doing now. Not to mention he only has 2 competitions to focus on while Moyes had 3-4
 
The fact we'll play exactly the same next game is also annoying, if these performances happened under fergie something would be different come the next game.

To be fair, people know Moyes done a poor job - it's more the fact LVG is not doing much better but wont get the same criticism from the majority because he is a bigger name

A couple of games is not enough. Look at Chelsea you could nearly name there team every week bar maybe 1 or 2 changes max.

Doesn't help but the majority of these footballers's morale won't be destroyed. Not to mention that the core of your team (Falcao, Di Maria, Blind) weren't part of the Moyes season and thus, should be unaffected

Yes and all im saying is they have been injured mostly.

Thats either down to luck or maybe we just have a fantastic medical science team. I would tend towards the latter because we really don't get injuries on the scale that Arsenal or United (recently) do despite playing the same number of games roughly
 
Moyes done awful and LVG has been pretty poor thus far, that should have been the debate wrapped up in one sentence.
