The Manchester United Thread

Trust me being at games last season at OT teams were defiantly more attacking than this. And if not for DDG we would have conceded a shed load more. Yes that's his job to save shots but he was seriously over worked last season. And no way should your GK be winning player of the season! Especially not 3 years in a row. All outlets home records we had over the years have been wiped out in the space of a season.

Teams just sat back and watched us pass the ball sideways for 90 minutes and played on the break. We were less reliant on DE gea last season than the season before.

Which article scouse?

Sorry off topic, but love reading **** like that... :)

Great minds. I was just trying to find what I'd read. Thinking it must be mainstream because I was looking back the past week over different L'pool sites and didn't come across it there. Leave it with me and my sieve memory. The night is young.

Or go long hand and look back through the recent games over the past few months. Which ever comes first lol.

Ultimately matters little as what's done is done. But when there's so much at stake, it becomes VERY costly. We'd be 6/7 points better off and breathing down Chelsea's neck. Instead, as we currently stand, we're looking at a battle for 4th with Utd breathing down ours when they're fortuitous to be.

I thought it might have been on "The Hyperthetical Table" but looks like they didnt do that again this year :(
 
Here are some damaging stats that reflect horrendously on the Dutchman:Back-to-back Southampton home defeats"You used to be good but now you're s**t," Southampton fans crowed at Old Trafford on Saturday. For the second successive January, The Saints won at United - something that last happened in 1969.Swanseas double beat United at home and away for the first time in a single season in 2014-15.Eight games without a win from that stale draw at home to PSV Eindhoven to the Boxing Day surrender to Stoke, United did not win win one of their eight games in the Premier League and Champions League. 6 which have been at home.First Boxing Day defeat in 13 yearsLast month's defeat to Stoke marked United's first Boxing Day defeat since Middlesbrough beat them 3-1 at the Riverside Stadium in 2002. The Stoke loss also marked the first Boxing Day fixture United had not scored in at home since 1989.United's blunt performance to Stoke was their first Premier League game without scoring against the Potters, promoted to the top flight in 2008.First home defeat to Norwich in 26 years another 1989 parallel, which re-emphasises just how bad it has become for United under Van Gaal.

Neither myself nor tyton are defending LVG but LVG had a good home record. Didnt mean it was invincible, but good. It was his away record where he sucked majorly.

I was not trying to slag off LVG either. I actually think some of his coaching has helped us and improved us tactically in some ways. Just that I think we are stronger at Home despite what some of the stats say. And that it's good that DDG is not as busy as past seasons.
 
I can't believe I've just read a post by Scouse on the previous page trying to convince himself that we'd be 20 points adrift of Liverpool if it weren't for officials. And we're not a threat to the top 4. ^^)

Deary me, I wish we could get over the whole LVG reign and just accept he laid solid foundation for Mourinho.

Amen!

You'd be behind Everton with what happened December and January alone.

But it is what it is and I'm frustrated enough trying to find something without just going through the last few months.

Mate you're talking nonsense, yes we've had decisons go our way but at the start of the season I remember so much going against us! I'm not going to be one who says it evens itself out, but seriously, we could of won games on performances alone at the start of season we didn't.

It's all pointless and hypothetical, but at the end of the day, if it makes you happy, then you continue to think that!
 
TOD's point maybe muddled but he definitely is right when he says teams fear us more now at home. Mainly because we attack with so much more pace and intensity. When we recover the ball we're not going to pass it sideways 100 times and let the oppo get into position.

Thank you! Maybe muddled is being a bit kind :) But to me we just don't seem so reliant on DDG this season.
 
United would be 20 points adrift if it were not for officials, never mind the putrid rub of the green we had in Autumn, INCLUDING errors from officials. Stonewall penalties not given, poor decisions that led to opposition scoring, etc. You can't look at it one way, and not look at it another. As you always said time and time again when things were going against us Scouse; 'evens itself up'.
