The Manchester United Thread

Jose doesn't fit the United ethos no question but he usually guarantees short-term success and lets not forget he has a point to prove now as well, which puts a whole new complexion on it for me. I am still not someone who really wants Mourinho but I'd take him over LVG in a heartbeat, because we're going absolutely no where with him and this style of football. In reality unless we're getting Pep we won't find a more proven manager than Mourinho.

Also I'd take Giggs over LVG now as well, bring me back any sense of excitement and some hope of attacking football back to this club. The whole footballing style of United and what we have been based on, fast/entertaining/attacking football has long been gone. He can't do any worse than LVG.

Personally I think the injuries are a big excuse, mainly because in the summer we knew we had a thin squad, it was his decision for it to be like that, he prefers smaller squads because it makes everyone feel more valued or something along them lines. His philosophy.

Also if it was one or two players out form you may have a point, but it isn't, it is literally most of the team and when that is the case, there is only one person who can have the blame, which is LVG. The football has been dreadful, absolutely dire, lets not understate it.

Regarding Woodward, he deserves a BIG portion of the blame, especially now, because LVG should of been sacked like a month or more ago. That's just the truth, any point lost from end of December to now in the league is down to him and the board. I wouldn't mind much about who took over if it was interim till end of season, because I don't see how it could be any worse than now. Also regarding Woodward and his board (remember it is totally different one to the one with Fergie/Charlton/Gill who don't have any say in key decisions) they left it too late when sacking Moyes before and we therefore had no chance of salvaging the season with top 4. Very similar situation happening again now, I don't see how he doesn't deserve a large portion of blame? Baffles me how there are still fans like you who try to defend him.



What another stupid decision that would be if we let Varela go now, even if people don't rate him (personally I feel he has been good when I've seen him this season), we have no ****** fullbacks so why get rid of one at this time?
I agree we need to keep him especially with injuries and lack of defenders atm. And i think he has been good tbh as well.
 
God I hope we don't sign John Stones in the summer, would be typical United to spend big on someone like him but everytime I see him he looks prone to mistakes and some have said his head has been turned hugely since Chelsea came in for him. So he has a bad attitude as well is my guess as he hasn't been performing as well since, comes across as rather arrogant on the ball trying things that don't work.

Might turn into a good player but at this stage (well for like 2 years now) we need more of a commanding experienced CB than a young unproven one.
 
Utd team DDG, Varela, Smalling, Blind, CBJ, Fellaini, Schniederlin, Lingard, Mata, Rooney, Matial

Bench Romero, McNair, Carrick, Herrera, Januzaj, Perera, Memphis

WTF Fellaini starting again ahead of Herrera and Periera :O
 
We're so so ****, this Derby team is awful lately, lost 4-1 to Burnley and we can't score more than 1 goal against this lot in 1st half, should be dead and buried with how much they stood off us after our goal.
 
Fellaini and Lingard have been poor once again!! We should be 3 up with some of the possitions we have been in.
 
wtf is wrong with this lot thay get a goal then sit back the other team score then we somehow dont know how to play football

Derby sat off us totally after we scored, we should of buried the game then. But we didn't create hardly any chances.
 
Schneiderlin has been poor though tbf, Fellaini useless as well, no surprise.
He has but i put that down to Fellaini having no possitional sense and always seems to be stuck to advanced from the role he should be playing. Hope for some positive subs!!!
 
So I pop the Asda with Utd in complete control, and come back to it all square and game on.

I need to pop out more often haha.
