If we can't win this group then perhaps we should just exit the tournament
This our champions league group made me remember 2009/2010 champions league group when we also had Wolfsburg, CSKA Moscow and Besiktas. I think Wolfsburg qualified as the Bundesliga champion.
We had injury crisis that a lot of our first and second choice players most especially defenders were out injured during the group stage.
It was so bad that Carrick had to pair Evra in the central defence.

Inspite of all the injury crisis, we still topped the group to qualify for the next round.

I don`t see any reason why we can`t top that group if LVG gets his tactics right.

Well unfortunately he has like 5 days to secure that exit, or else he sits on the bench till January at the very least.
No amount of sulking will impress Plato.
If he must leave, they should first look for a replacement for him.

Did you see the way LVG looked at Gigssy when he lost that penalty? It was like look at the guy you fought for.

I'm even tempted to think he fluffed those chances deliberately.
He was so nonchalant
Yeah, he looks disenchanted and disinterested in the match. Though the penalty was a slip.

We`ll see how it goes.

Certainly did. He has to be professional about the way he goes about his business.
That attitude is really bad. Maybe he wants to leave since LVG said Fellaini will play as no 9. It wasn`t like this when he was brought in on Saturday.
But he`s supposed to be professional about it as you rightly said.

I've been crying about the bolded since last season. Mata is wasting away on dat right flank for goodness sake. We all saw wat he did in the hole at Chelsea. Play Young on d right. Its a better alternative to Januzaj. Dat one is not good enough for the starting 11 yet. If LVG does dat, everything could easily fall into place and our attack would easily take the pressure off an already balanced defence
LVG is part of the problem of this team. Playing players out of positions is his great problem. He always believe he can convert players. The same thing he did with Memphis all through the preseason up until the first game of the season.
I just don`t know why he is not playing Mata as the number 10 now that we have good defensive midfielders who can take up the defensive duties that he`s lacking in.
He can also play Herrera on that right. He said the team is lacking creativity and he has a guy (Herrera) who contributed 10 goals (6 goals & 4 asissts) out of 19 starts for us last season on the bench doing nothing. This guy also contribute defensively in ni measure.

Also his stereotyped philosophy of pass, pass, and pass without freedom to express themselves and take some risk will take us nowhere.

I am really losing my confidence in him by every match day.

I have seen nothing in Lacazette's game to be uberconfident he will score 30 goals in EPL ( something even better strikers than him have struggled to do).
All his blistering pace in Ligue 1 will look average in the EPL. Also he is not blessed with overwhelming power and he is just above average in terms of technique IMO.

There are truly very few realistic options in the market in terms of quality CBs and CFs...... but it is still possible to get someone (money talks)
LVG have said he doesn`t even need another striker. So, there`s no need thinking he`ll get another striker in this summer.

(Note the words "wishes to join" for Chelshit and "agree terms with Man Utd" for Man Utd)

Now the last embolden is what you & Funlord, is failing to accept which Pataki is harping on. The questions are:
The same Mikel also said this before he was gagged, pressured and threatened after he signed for Man Utd.

Man Utd get Chelsea target Mikel
Manchester United have beaten Chelsea in the race to sign teenage midfielder John Obi Mikel from Norwegian top-flight outfit Lyn Oslo.
The 18-year-old Nigerian had looked set for a move to Chelsea after having trials at Stamford Bridge.
But United, who gave him a trial in 2003, have stepped in to sign the player, who only made his first-team debut for Lyn last week.
"It's totally fantastic to come to a club like Manchester United," he said. "Not many players my age get that chance."
Lyn officials refused to disclose the transfer sum, but general manager Morgan Andersen said it was "overall the biggest transfer ever within Norwegian football".
"It's totally fantastic to come to a great club like Manchester United. Not many players my age get that chance," the Nigerian said.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/m/man_utd/4499893.stm

A. Why would Chelshit pay Man Utd £12million, triple the amount paid to Oslo the parent club and original owners of Mikel? For Xmas shopping? For boat trip?
Chelsea paid Man Utd £12million as the transfer fee for Man Utd to sell Mikel Obi to them because there was a legitimate deal between Lyn Oslo, Man Utd and Mikel Obi to join Man Utd for £4million before he appeared on TV crying that he wanted to join Chelsea.

The £4million agreed deal that Man Utd was supposed to have paid to Lyn Oslo which they held on to when the saga started was the £4million paid to Lyn Oslo by Chelsea to make the whole money paid by Chelsea £16million.

B. Why didn't Chelshit pay Man Utd such amount in Pedro deal if not for the fact that Man Utd haven't agreed shít with Barca or paid them?
This is totally different because Pedro was still Barca's player when Chesea went to buy him but not Man Utd's. There was no contract between Man Utd, Pedro and Barca.

Mikel was snatched!! He betrayed us like Judas. But it was a good betrayal that favored us with Carrick. If after all these explanations you still refused to accept the truth, then I've nothing else to type.
He wasn't snatched because there was a signed deal in place between Man Utd, Mikel and Lyn Oslo for him to join us in January. The resolution of the issue also showed that there was a legitimate contract in place before Mikel turned around.

From the link you posted, Ferdinand confirmed Man Utd refused to pay more than the amount they felt Robben was worth. That's no snatching. Chelshit only paid more after Man Utd refused paying more and dropped interest.

https://www.nairaland.com/871307/official-manchester-united-fan-thread/1935#37182861

Chelshit didn't snatch Robben from Man Utd, but they snatched Mikel from us. As for Pedro, Man Utd dropped interest in him as confirmed by LvG.
How did they do the bolded?

He is stepping up already. This has been his best game. He could have had 2 assist but Memphis missed two one vs one provided by Rooney.
Rooney`s game improved today compared to his last two games. His energy was higher. I love that take-down that he gave to Depay. if depay had scored that, it would have been a lovely combination.

smalling was excellent. he's becoming very consistent.
Smalling is improving with every game. I pray he doesn`t get injured.

Blind is the only odd man out in that defence and that is because of his lack of pace. Though, he played well tonite.

Thank God the anxiety that we saw in Depay`s game against Aston Villa has gone.

General play of the team is improving. They also need to stop this loss of cincentration at times.

We are playing with pace and we are faster, we are quick to go for the ball when it's with our opponents
You are right. The tenacity is high with a lot of movement. It is better than the past two games in the league. The fitness level is improving. Hope they translate it to the league.

They couldn't get the simplest situation right. There will be more difficult or complicated situations

This new rule is even more confusing. What is the essence when the general rule in the world hasn't changed?
Don`t really understand. The PL changes a law and their refrees will be the one to make nonsense of it.

Simple interpretation of obvious offside they can`t do. We are surely going to see more of that during the season.

That wasn't offside na....
it was. Coutinho was clearly in an offside position when the ball was played in and he also made an attempt to play the ball which is offside according to the new offside rule.

Go and read the new offside rule.

The referee for Looserfool match is damn too poor!! An offside goal under the new offside rule was overlooked by him. Now he gave O'kane a yellow card for the silliest of reason. SMH.
That`s the fault of the assistant refree. He should`ve seen that Coutinho was clearly offside and his attempt towards the ball. Poor officiating.

huh what really happened?
Maybe LVG also advised him to go AWOL when he was supposed to join the team on tour. Which coach will keep a player whose mind is elsewhere?

He wanted the move all along and there's no point keeping him. No player is bigger than the club.
