There was nothing good about it bar the fact we are still in it and have tge opportunity to make up for last night.
The RS had predicted an easy win over an average Bolton. Now it seems Bolton is the best team outside the premiership. They were gloating about our away draw but they themselves couldn't do it at HOME. Now they've got an easy away match... In fact they were lucky to get away with a draw. #luckyRS
The draw against Cambridge is now being viewed as a great achievement by the multimillion pound United side. We could have been the victims of some great giant killing to match those of Bradford and boro. But we resisted the onslaught and worse humiliation (unless we get defeated at OT ). So in retrospect great great performance
I am trying not to laugh, ££££ out, Routemaster FC out, Liverpool cant beat Bolton Chelsea weren't in the FA Cup 4-2 long this year.
The point is any side, regardless of who manages or plays for them can suffer shock results. Which is far more relevant than 150million spent or Moyes points at the same stage last season.
No it isn't more relevant. It would be if Friday was a one off. It wasn't, we're playing **** on a regular basis and he's playing players out of position on regular basis. If you're happy with the ****e currently being churned out then good on you, you certainly weren't last season though so I don't get your change in attitude. As someone else has correctly pointed out, you'd have crucified Moyes for performances like Friday and against Southampton at home.
A lot of people (including you) wanted Moyes out very early. These recent performances would have led to calls for his dismissal if Moyes was in charge. The players had to take a lot of the responsibility then. Now LVG has to take the lion share of the responsibility as he is introducing a new system.
Only really 3 questions left to answer 1) Will we beat Leicester City? 2) Who will start the thread? 3) Is one thread enough?
Yes he is. A new system. Something that for many of our players is completely alien. For years they have played a very simple and high risk stratagy. Simply bypass the middle of the park and get the ball in the box. Wonderfully successful under Fergie but very poor under Moyes. van Gaal is asking the players to be more comfortable on the ball. At times its obvious to see that some are severely lacking in either confidence or, ability. Especially the centre backs. My big gripe with him is Herrera. Maybe its the match fixing investigation but he still adds something whenever hes on the pitch. Push rooney up top and play Herrera, Blind and Di Maria in a 3. So obvious. Mata at the tip of the diamond if we go that way. The moment the defence is sorted. We will be fine.
