The curse of LVG strikes again, ****** conservative to the max not wanting to lose by more than 1.
Have we even had a chance in this half?

L'pool, West 'Am, L'pool and City.
Heck of a run coming up in three different competitions. Two main rivals and a West Ham side that's flying, desperate to win the Cup, and has previous in winning at Utd in the competition.
MASSIVE month. Season defining month.

Why the **** would you bring Darmian back for this game anyway when Varela has been the RB of a winning side.
None of the changes today made sense in the starting line-up and well the substitutions were ******* laughable.
LVG has no clue on subs, I'm convinced of it. He can't take blame for Mata sending off but it was still unacceptable performance. We offered nothing with 10 men, in a weekend where teams like West Ham and Liverpool can still show at least a bit of something with 10 men.

Think Mata's dismissal was justified tbh, just really silly of him and Dean didn't really need to give him another chance to atone.
All-around bad day for Manchester United for everyone involved except for Smalling and perhaps Darmian. Fortunately, it was against West Bromwich Albion, who do not have the personnel to mercilessly punish teams with a man down, unlike some others.
Have to move on now, nothing we can do. Manchester City away is the next league fixture. Mata should be available for the short trip.

Yeah I have no idea why would manager start a first-choice right back instead of a youngster.
To you they didn't. Darmian was exhausted and Herrera was utter ****.
Mate, losing Milner and losing Mata is a different thing entirely. You can't create if you have no creator on the pitch.
Varela isn't young he's like 24 and why is Darmian first choice anyway? I mean I thought that it was based on who was better in terms of form but it appears not. Varela was great vs Arsenal and solid vs Watford, he offers more going forward than Darmian and has defended just as well, it's mind boggling to me why you'd make 4 changes to a winning team.
I take your point, but why the flying saucepan does he not bring on Pereira? He is one of the most creative players we have and one of our best youth players, yet in a game like this he still refuses to bring him on, when we are in desperate need of some creativity. Quite frankly I'm not even sure if he was on the bench but you can bet your life he wasn't coming on whether he was on the bench or not.
Didn't Everton lose with 10 men?
To be honest I've lost any dwindling respect for Van Gaal as a person when I see this bollox about wanting FA Cup or Europa league success over top 4. It's nothing but pure glorification for himself to go out with something and not putting the club first. All our eggs should of been in the top 4 as it was still on, over everything else.
Also how he is so openly crediting himself every time for 'blooding youngsters', he has had no choice and if we hadn't of got these injuries we never would of seen Rashford, Fosu-Mensah in the team, just like how he has treated Pereira.

Given how close it is in the race for top 4 I doubt he truly thinks that, he will just be trying to deflect from the **** result. Its football manager psychology 101 you should know this I thought you played FM?

Yes, you still have to play all of the teams currently above you. Which is a good thing, the race is still in your hands, as opposed to having to count that somebody drops points.

Yep and moreover, nothing is a given. As if that was not stressed by Arsenal's back-to-back defeats when, by and large, they were expected to win comfortably.
Pretty sure this has been said at least 3 times this season.
Yup.
And let's not forget that during LVG's two years, his team always shows up in the big games. They usually win, they very rarely lose, and they always show up. Arsenal away last year being the only exception.
If I were a betting man, my money would be on him to pull off another recovery during next month, only to bottle it later when playing relegation candidates.
It's useless having these good results against big teams when you then undo it all against the smaller teams.
This is why I think LVG has to go no matter what at the end of this season, even if he manages to scrape us into CL by some miracle there is nothing that makes me want to have him for another season.

What if he wins the Premier League and Europa League?

LVG still has no clue, every week is a new line up. why change varela when he is on form ?
why change depay when he his gaining confidence and form. every week is a new midfield partnership, how do players get on a run of form or get used to each other this way? Martial looked very sluggish and needs to be eased back from injury.
It's been two years of LVG and united don't really have an identity. its all very worrying and we seem to be riding our luck game in game out.
