I like the way you've quickly moved on after the likes of Falcao, Herrera and Tia Maria have been average to woeful this season!!

I think it's patently obvious it's almost impossible to judge the contributions of a keeper to that of say a striker, but then I think you know that but can't in good conscience say any United outfield players are best in the league...<laugh>

Had I said any would be then you wouldnt be talking bollocks.

As it turns out, bollocks is your speciality.
 
I think the problem here is LVG came over to English football and is learning that the English leagues are not like Spain or Germany everything is different to how teams play the game like intensity and pace of the game. Also he has bought players in like Di Maria, Falcao, Herrera, Rojo and Blind who have never played in the EPL and add that LVG has never managed in EPL are I think why when added together it is no wonder that things are taking time to piece together.

But some of his decisions still beggar belief there is cracks appearing but he should really be judged next season and if he makes the CL this season then he has done very well indeed.

He will deserve a ****ing medal !. Some of this struggle is of his own making though.
 
Strange thing about United is that they have lots of possession and make lots of chances - usually a team like that is good to watch...

But you spend most of the game playing as if Old Trafford is some sort of elaborate mousetrap for Tony Pulis.

LVG is very lucky that the league is so poor this season. City, Arsenal, Liverpool, Spurs and Everton have all underperformed.

The other managers have been lucky too. Think about it. <whistle>
 
Brenda must thank his lucky stars every day that the others are not consistent.

He's very lucky to have survived December... thought he'd be gone after how pathetic Basle was. Credit to him he's changed things and we're now the consistent side.

Problem with Brendan is that he's both stubborn and flexible - he doesn't mind dramatic solutions but only when he finally thinks they're needed. But at least he's changing things.
