Why is LVG not getting the same sort of stick that Moyes got?

    The term was "you lot" Sky, not "you" <ok>
    To be fair, Brendan is out of his depth without Suarez and Sturridge to dig him out. Tell me truthfully Sky, do you think he is picking the right team/players, is he using the right tactics for the teams/players he is picking, do you think he is looking more and more like Moyes in his interviews? <yikes>

    No its not. We are playing much better than our 13 points suggest. Think we will do very well in our next ten games.

    The United of today is learning fast, if you watched the games from earlier in the season then compared them to the last four you would see that <ok>

    Yeh. Not sure what hes on about to be honest. Weve played til the death in each of our last 3 games. Very familiar for us fans. New to much of the squad.

    Can`t argue with that bit. I still think if we could play a settled back four a leader would come forward (Evans/Jones or maybe Rojo, like you said he is unknown) but when no player is present from one week to the next it is hard for anyone to assume control.

    He's not looking like Moyes in is interviews - that's pushing it too far <grr>


    I honestly don't think he knows his best starting 11. I said it on a thread a while back, bringing 8 or so players in would be a ****ing distater. We should have bought 2-3 in at a time and bedded them in properly. So many coming in has clearly effected our dressing room spirit from last season and it's showing on the pitch. I can only think our dressing room resembles a cattle market, no one knows each other - about 1000 different languages being spoke. We look lost at the moment - but I have faith BR will sort it out, and luckily most of our rivals - Utd, Everton, Spurs etc. haven't set the league on fire so we're still in the mix for top 4.

    It's been a strange season to be honest for many teams, and to be honest not only has that been our saving grace so far it's been yours too <ok>

    The league doesn't lie - Can't remember who used to always say that, but it was some delusional Utd fan. Sooo many to pick from, but I'm taking a plump at Nohlman.

    This

    At this point, Moyes's team may have had more points but was on the way down. The legacy of SAF was slowly ebbing away. Whereas LVG started very badly and have us slowly improving. Fingers crossed.

    So far the hope that he can produce a title chasing side in the future has not been extinguished.

    If truth be said, I expected the Chelsea draw and a City loss (although also a WBA win). So the loss is disappointing but not that damaging but the stupidity of smalling even more regrettable and yet more injuries to defenders...

    That's a bollocks excuse Sky.

    It's his choice who he plays and he didn't need to play all of the new recruits, and he hasn't!

    Balotelli has been starting in the absence of Sturridge but of the others, he's only started with Lovren and Moreno regularly. Can, Markovic Manquillo and Lallana have been bit part players.

    Which proves he doesn't know his best 11 yet as he's still experimenting with these 'bit part' players. Most of those players you mention have had a fair amount of game time to be honest - some games they've impressed, other games they've been dire. So my point stands, he hasn't worked out his best team or formation yet.

    That's not an excuse, as he should know these things by now now - it's a fact. He's still experimenting, which imo is a disaster.

    But surely the teams that win more games are higher due to winning more games than other teams :huh:

    I admit they won't keep it up - for example West Ham will fall like a sack of ****. But at this current time the table is the truth <ok>

    He's not playing the likes of Markovic as he's looked like a total lemon when he's played him.

    He's picking what he thinks is his best 11 every week, the fact that it doesn't include all of his multi million pound signings, merely shows that they're not convincing him in training, which would point to them being bad buys given their cost.

    All of which is irrelevant to your excuse, which was that the dressing room resembles the League of Nations and it's the upheaval of all the new faces which is behind the slump, which is patently bollocks when you consider the facts of who's actually playing!

    Liverpool fans say Sturridge injury is the reason they are doing so ****, all the while ignoring the continuing injury crisis at United?

    Sky, he has been there three years now, the majority of your first team squad are Brendan buys (presumably bought to fit his system and 30 page dossier), so he should know his best 11 and who can replace them if off form, injured etc <ok>
