Man Utd Thread:

[stew]

Nick Powell??? I just don't see what he brings to the table. Bad result but united created more chances last Saturday that in 3 or 4 games with Rooney up top. Martial especially and Memphis will be top players, the latter a little inconsistent with final ball/cross but we've seen that before. It's just a shame that the Rooney absence has coincided with these defensive injuries so the results have not improved.

I still think it's ridiculous to suggest things are not better than the Moyes era. United are 4 points behind Arsenal and 3 points behind City - anyone would have accepted that at this stage of the season if you'd asked them in August.

Stew - your comments tend towards the erratic anyway but the slating you gave an 18 year old kid there was disgraceful.

I never slated him, I understand it is his debut but the kid cant run and will never make it at United, I wish him well but he is not now, not ever going to make the grade at United, it is just a fact.

Comparing LVG to Moyes is pure nonsense, can't be bothered getting into again. Agree on Powell, don't think anyone gets that as it looked like he was on his way out of the club especially given his reported bad attitude. LVG really needs a good run to get the fans of his back, so many have made their mind up that they want rid.

As for Stew he likes to dish out the sly digs but is unable to take them.

You wanted rid of the best manager in history ffs, no sly dig, what do you think would have happened if he had left in 04?

Go and have a read of my previous posts and explained my reasons, there was a lot of fans who wanted rid of him. It was very split amongst United fans I know, he was doing his job properly and the kick up the arse Keane gave him worked. We had 18 points from 10 games before Keane's outburst and then went onto achieve 65 points from 28 games, a huge improvement.

If the Keane outburst had such influence then why didn't he use this magic to become a success as a manager himself? United were in transition back then and only for Fergie United would have mid table finishes instead of top 3.

But LVG is doing such a good job why would they replace him.

Seeing nothing on United forums, United briefed a few well placed journos about 10 days ago that they weren't interested in Pep (which many of them took to mean they thought City had him). I do see however Louis is in to odds on to be the next man to walk the plank.. These can sometimes be "bookies" bets though..

LVG is not the problem. Man U seem to be going through a rerun of the late 70s. A long way from coherence.

I think I saw one of the Times journalists saying a couple of weeks ago United were told Pep was going to an Englisho team next year, and it wasn't them, City obviously.

Edit - Didn't see Boyceys post above

Clearly doing a better job than some has-been team...

Have to say i am surprised at the vitriol. LVG has taken that team through a complete reboot. He is shaping it in a way that should set up Man Utd well over the next decade. He is a proponent of youth. Has cleared the dressing room of players he didnt think were conducive to success. He is recognized as a draw for good players and has proved that with Martial. All the while he has managed to keep Utd in the top 4. The spend is about par for the course for one of the global giants of the game. They may not be playing sexy football, but they are doing enough to get by at the minute. He didnt inherit much in the way of quality for the future. Who will do better?

So who is going to win this weeks prestigious and highly coveted non United fan sensible post of the week award?
AZ Offaly is on a two week winning streak,will he make it the hat-trick?
