Manchester United 15/16 thread

He can score goals in the Premier League.

The larger point I think you're trying to make, I happen to agree with. Leverkusen are having one of their worst seasons in quite awhile as Chicharito scores goals. Just like Bayern were worse with Gomez.

Leverkusen's problems are mostly dealing with inexperience and a terrible backline/keeper. No idea what that would have to do with Chicharito.

Leno is a very good GK

You wouldn't be saying that if you've watched him this season.

I am not pissed off when we lose anymore - thanks to LvG and Moyes. And thats a good thing because when we lose, my weekend no longer gets ruined.

In fact, I actually saw some positives from this game. Mata is great as AMF - played in some very nice through balls. He however misplaced some which could have cost us. We showed some hunger and tried to be more direct too but could not get enough shots on target. Both goals conceded were from counter attacks from balls lost in midfield.

At least you have the right attitude, always look for the positive side of things. And about Mata being great at his greatest position, no surprise really.

I'm not really into the whole "sack the manager" thing when things aren't working out. But at this moment I'm not so convinced by van Gaal anymore. It's just not about this loss obviously. Someone like Giggs wouldn't do a better job I'm pretty certain about that. Any news about Guardiola? I mean my idealistic view of football is already reached its' limits by van Gaal's philosophy, and should Guardiola actually take over it's going to be pretty similar, and to add to the fact - we don't have the right players to play his kind of football. That's why I'm thinking he would choose City over us.

While looking at the positive side of things, I'm quite sure he could bring some of his favoured players over, the guy doesn't start a project from shit basically.

Senileinho to Man utd, Guardiola to Man City. the force awakens.

 

[Xaviesta]

Unbelievable

 

[Arnau]

Betrayed by his players, fired by his beloved Chelsea... I sense the dark force in him already

 

[Xaviesta]

Mourinho has always been a Sith Lord.

 

[Arnau]

Jedis are jihadist, dark force is the good one.

Good article about Mourinho

https://www.theblizzard.co.uk/articles/the-devils-party/

He's never forgiven Barcelona for choosing Pep instead of him in 2008. He was also deeply offended that Moyes got the United job instead of him.

 

[chygry]

With an ego like Mourinho has, I too, would probably annoyed/frustrated if Moyes gets chosen over you. Not that he's all that bad of a manager, did a pretty good job at Everton, just never really a "big" club material.

Did you pass Lord Mandieta6 challenge to post again?

 

[Mandieta6]

No he has not.

 

[chygry]

Shhhh... Enough of that crap.

Anyway we are officially doomed. Probably no CL football next season. I'm an optimist.

At this point I wouldn't even mind If van Gaal got the sack and I'd love Mourinho to take over. What a match would that be. The next one is against Chelsea.

Anyway to be honest I think all things were going quite well until Shaw got injured, from that point on it all started going downhill, slowly but steadily.

 

[kp41]

Shut up chyryyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I am normally Mr 'don't sack managers too early' (unless they're tim sherwood) but even in starting to come round to the view that not to do so might be putting your cl spot at risk. Who would you want if not Mourinho?

 

[Pogba4Now]

We don't have the right players to play under Mourinho, just like we don't have the right players to play van Gaal's possession football. The only manager who could do something with that team would be Ferguson. This team is hopeless.

 

[Pogba4Now]

Other than Mourinho, there is no one available unfortunately. Making Giggs available until the end of the season would be risky because he has no experience. David Moyes and Brendan Rodgers are also available.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

You've got to be kidding me. Your team is more talented than just about everyone else in the world. Stop making excuses for a shitty manager.
