The painful thing is I used my money to go watch it outside because PHCN refused to bring the light. sad

I may have to stop watching United play till next season.
Never have I seen a more hopeless coach and an even more useless board that has refused to fire him because of their useless politics.

What has Herrera done to deserve this treatment?
The guy is obviously the most mobile senior midfielder we have, yet he's always on the bench at the slightest instance.
Carrick is ahead in the pecking order, but he can't even run a yard without dying of Asphyxia.
Felliani comes and gets an automatic spot too.

Herrera-Schneidelin-Mata

and we would have controlled this game easily. sad

What has Rashford done exactly too to deserve benching Lingard for him?
Okay why not even play Rashford as CF and bench Depay instead?

Thank God Di Maria saw the light and fled for his life, else he would prolly be playing LB by now.

Useless philosopher with dull English fans that can't protest and send this man back to Holland.

And no, Giggs must never get the job, because he obviously accepts the stupid line ups, else why hasn't he resigned?
Thank God i didn`t waste my time watching the match.

I knew we`ll lose the match when i saw the line up.

* Bringing in Fellaini who haven`t played since like two months in an important away match at Anfield

* Putting Herrera on the bench after playing well in the past few weeks

* Starting Memphis definitely means Martial won`t play where he`s been most effective.

I`ve decided not to watch many of our matches since Dec. because of the useless old man we have as coach. He`s the one killing this team. It is either he brings a useless starting line up or he makes his useless substitute.

I am not expecting anything good from this team untill he`s scked. I`m on Siddon dey look mode.

Last season he moved Sociedad from relegation to middle table, at some point. You didn't mention that.
What relegation to Mid table are you talking about? He met them 15th on the log and finished the season on 12th.

Talking about playing pattern. This was what you guys said when LVG was coming. I remember there was a lenghty article about Gaal's playing pattern, how his players can control game, do not give possession awayion over the opponents which guarantees game control, etc. So how had having a pattern help us and having a world class coach.
At least LVG has a pattern we all know he's trying to implement, only that his own is just too restrictive and docile. It is this same pattern Barca and Bayern are playing effectively to dominate teams and win games.

Also Everton had a pattern. Everton played a high tempo football, and they were the most feared outside the top four. When City beat United every day, Everton used ten men to dominate City and won 2-0. I think Moyes would have done better if given a second season, perhaps we would have saved ourselves the financial wastages of the last two summers.
The same pattern he used to beat City at Goodison park. How many times throughout his 11 years at Everton did he go away to Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd to win? And it continued when he came to Man Utd. The worse of it was that the Everton that he left did the double over Man Utd for the first time since 1969. He visited those grounds a whooping 44 times without a single victory and you call such a team "the feared team outside the top four"! Why didn't he use the same pattern to win at least once out of those 44 visits?

What financial wastage would he have saved us when he was the one who started it with buying over-priced Fellaini?

Again if you look at Chelsea, you would understand that it's possible for a team to move from number 1 to mid table.
Mourinho can be excused because he was a champion and has always been a champion. If not, why will there be so much rumours of him coming to Man Utd? As things stands now at Man Utd and you are given the opportunity to choose between Moyes and Mourinho. Who will you choose? That is simply the difference between them.

But some of the players were past it. Ferdinand and Vidic have not played football since that time. Evra is using idea to cope in slow paced Seria A. I have not heard of Buttner, Fabio again. Evans, Smalling, Carrick, Cleverley and Fletcher were never fit. Van Persie couldn't work with him.

And I look at how Everton has struggled ever since with better spending, I wonder if Moyes is really bad.
This is just an excuse. It is simple, Moyes was incompetent for Man Utd.

When Vidic, Ferdinand and Evra have past it, why didn't he find adequate replacement for them in January transfer window?

Our football had no direction under him. We had no particular playing pattern other than players running around on their own volition. Sometimes, players will be huffing the ball up aimlessly. We all know that we made the highest number of unsuccessful crosses into the box under him. His style of play shattered a lot of players confidence and these are players who just won the premier league.

A coach that will have a one goal lead and all he's thinking was how to defend that one goal lead when he's supposed to be thinking of how to score more goals. He'll take out an attacking player, bring in a defensive player and will eventually lose or draw the game. Is that a competent coach.

He refused to play some players while overplaying other players. He also over-trained a lot of players which resulted in a lot of injuries in training.

His transfer dealings were appalling. He left realistic targets like Alcantara and Hererra chasing Bale, Khedira, Fabregas only to end up with Fellaini at a price higher than his buyout clause.

What about his pre and post match comments? They were disgraceful for a coach of Man Utd stature. Is it a defeatist comment like "They may well be favourites. Their league position suggests they are ahead of us and they possibly do come here as favourites" ahead of a home game against Liverpool. Or a post match comment after a loss to Man City where he said he would have taken a draw against Cardiff before the match or where he said "I don't know what we have to do to win" after a loss to Stoke city. Al these attest to the fact that he's grossly incompetent.

He crashed a defending champion to number 7 spot on the league. If he was given another year, i am sure we would have been in relegation battle.

I can go on and on with how incompetent he was. He also dragged ordinary Real Sociedad to relegation before he was sacked. He couldn't win at home in the season he was sacked gaining 15 points out of possible 42 points. What does that tell you?

His successor at Sociedad who was a Team B coach at Barcelona have won 22 points out of possible 39 points with the same players taking the team from 17th position to 10th on the league table.

"I knew Manchester United need to qualify for the Champions League," Moyes told Sky Sports .
"They are a club of status and want to be at that level, if not more. They want to be winning it if they can, never mind qualifying for it.
"That's what happens at Manchester United. It's that level."
United returned to Europe's elite club competition following a fourth-placed finish under Van Gaal last term, but they appear likely to miss out on the competition for the second time in three campaigns after a 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Sunderland on Sunday, a result that left the Red Devils six points off fourth-placed Manchester City.
Moyes did express some sympathy for Van Gaal's plight and criticised the media for its of the ex-Ajax, Barcelona and Bayern Munich coach.
"There's so much media attention on Louis van Gaal just now," Moyes said.
"When I lost my job, he was lauded by everybody in football - by you people, the media and everybody else. Now many of you are the ones saying he should lose his job.
"If you got to Manchester United, that's what you get. You get an awful lot of media attention, but I still believe I was the right person to take the job."

Lol
He's talking crap. He's just not good enough for our team whether he admits or not.

Kante is the best DM in the league this season.
That guy is a player. He's all over the pitch winning tackles.

He can't play the way he has been playing under LVG. He'll tell you he's getting too attracted to the ball and chasing the ball too much. He has to wait for the ball.

Ryan Giggs absent from Old Trafford: Manchester United assistant on compassionate leave

Ryan Giggs was absent for Manchester United's game against Stoke City due to a family illness.

It was noted that the assistant manager had not taken up his usual seat in the Old Trafford dugout alongside Louis van Gaal, even sparking rumours that he was set to be appointed as Celtic manager.

However the reason for the former player's absence was compassionate leave due to a family illness.

Giggs missed a fine performance from Manchester United.

I won't feel bad if we finish 10th with Giggs as the coach, atleast would have excuses like he was inexperience and that it was a learning curve for him than to have this stubborn big headed LvG with his useless philosophy feeling like he knows what he is doing while we continue to slide down the table playing really boring football.

Mentioning our name with the likes of Barca, Madrid and Bayern for simply football reasons seems like a joke these days.

How can a supposedly experienced coach trim his squad to the bearest minimum in a league where they have no winter break and can't get players to execute his useless philosophy after spending 250M.

Imagine the guy saying fans were leaving the stadium early becuse of traffic! When has that ever happened. It is tantamount to DM saying United want to be like City.

I don tire for the guy I dey tells you!
You've said it all. That's why i've also said here that i want him sacked and appoint Giggs to manage the team till the end of the season. The way things are right now, i've taken my mind off the UCL spot. If we qualify, it'll only be a bonus to me. Some of the players he sold would've come in at this time to rescue the team at this time.
