I'm fine with him gone. Everything comes to an end. The issue is that LVG is just being hardheaded.

Playing players way out of position.
Playing players on reputation.
Having one gameplan and when it's not working, revert to hoofball.

He's also not helping his cause going on and on about his philosophy yet playing a very elementary style of football.

he really needs to move Rooney up as the main striker.

the **** is he doing in the midfield?

Falcao has shown he just doesn't have it, I know he's not gonna stick around by the end of the season.

But rooney is just being wasted in the midfield when he's most needed up front.

Kinda crazy to think that probably cuz of FFP Monaco just lost a lot of Falcao's value, and Man U potentially saved a lot of money not outright signing him.

Apparently Real have already begun scouting Harry Kane...

Only a matter of time before this is Florentino

Wanted to see Falcao on Arsenal man, he'd have 15 goals by now playing the lone striker role, honestly the move for Falcao never made sense for United in the first place (idk who was responsible for that, but United need to get it together). Hope to see him on Juventus this summer, I think that'd be the best move for both clubs.

really interested in seeing where depay ends up this summer. almost sure he goes to man utd though. get that #7 shirt ready

First time in a long time I completely agree with one of your "assessments" lmao

@HEGGSY Great pics man I'm hoping to get to London in the next few weeks. Would love to check out Arsenal or Chelsea but Prem ticket prices :x

Honestly if I go to London it will be to party with some friends out there I'll probably end up settling for a Millwall FC match.

 

[eiddyfouw]

Will Alexis start tonight?

Asking for a friend.

I wish I understood... but I guess it really does come down to his hardheadedness... 

I respect that he has his philosophy... but at this point... it's just not working as well as we'd like.

Marco Reus signs a 2 year extension which keeps him at Dortmund through 2019. Doesn't mean he'll stay through then but it does guarantee the club proly gets a larger transfer fee should he leave.

ill die if they get relegated.. hard to think he would have done that had Barca been able to get him. Really thought no UCL= him leaving.. oh well..

Paddy McNair extended today too

On the Man U front i agree with everyone. That line up vs West Ham was head scratching. Especially since it didn't change i the second half after the first half was so miserable.

I thought Adnan got the start for maybe some creativity. But he looked bad out there. I don't know why you ever play Rooney anywhere other then the center of the park. I think he can suffice as a #10 but id rather see him as a more reserved striker with Falcoa/RVP up top and Mata at the #10.

Di Maria also has no real defensive instincts. He is out there playing like he is CR7 at times.

I will be interested to see who is going to go after Raheem though

 

[Kimchi Papi]

Koke out for Atleti for 4 weeks with a hamstring injury. Saul came in for Koke when he got injured early in the derby & scored Atleti's second goal. I wonder if Cholo will start him in place of Koke. Saul has talent but he's not Koke.

For the few that watch tennis as well as footy...

Tennis - Andy Murray dropped by Adidas 'because of Man Utd's £750m deal'

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I can't see that deal making money for adidas. If they make a profit, it's has to be a very slim one. Plus the bandwagon fans are jumping off & that team is mired in mediocrity which it won't get out of anytime soon. Even if they make the CL, they just don't have the talent to make any sort of run in the tournament & will perform much in the same way Liverpool did this year.

 

[User 37837]

Definitely more of mgmt's fault than LVG. My friends and I where talking about it this past weekend. Did United honestly need Falcao? Did they even really need da Engine? It's clear as day they're in the top 4 now because everyone else was poo up until recently. Van Gaal is to fault for certain strategic mishaps but even he said it this weekend regarding the Herrera situation. You can see this isn't "his" team or the team he wants yet, ala Jose Mourinho last year.

 

[jking0821]

Andy Murray team Under Armor now

i still don't like him though

 

[rolaholic]

I'm glad that more of you are also starting to get annoyed at LvGs stubbornness

 

[Kimchi Papi]

I said the day he got hired his tenure wouldn't go well, I specifically cited his stubbornness.

Well if you didn't take my "assessments" so damn personally and view them as Arsenal hate, maybe - just maybe, you'd agree more.

 

[rolaholic]

I've been one to give him the benefit of the doubt only because of his history and success almost everywhere he's been but his hard headedness is really starting to show with his reluctance to divert from his "philosophy" when it doesn't work. Also It took him forever to finally abandon that awful 3-5-2. The team hasn't really had an impressive showing since the holidays,I wish he'd tinker a bit more with the lineups. How Herrera hasn't played at all during the last 2 PL matches beats me when they could've used his creativity. The team has definitely showed that they have heart though and will play to the bitter end unlike last year but there needs to be more. Hoping he can get it together better soon.

*LvG's pressers are appreciated though
