Talks of a quit announcement today.
Need a new manager in and money spent sharpish on a good right-winger (fao Nick Griffin, not you pal).
Back to 4-4-2 and release Fellaini back into the wild.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Always said it. Players should be on performance related pay. If they lose they get nothing. If they draw they get 1/2 pay. If they win they get paid their agreed wages.
I seem to recall Moyes did a much better job that Van Gaal in his tenure. But why blame the manager? If the players can't be arsed, it should be them that suffer. Look at England's performances. The women have more fight in them. These primadonna's need a wake up call. You can lead a horse to water, in some cases they need to hold their heads under until they wake up. Or not.Comment

The problem with Van Gaal is that while he's culled the squad correctly, he's reverted to being so risk averse that you could go to any United game at Old Trafford this season and you've watched them all. From sitting behind the goals you can see channels open up but nobody making a run because they're scared of being out of position should we lose the ball. There's no width to the game either, so we should do what Allardyce did at the Boleyn Ground and narrow the pitch.The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world that he didn't existComment

Pretty sure there was a presentation on MOTD on Sunday last showing results over time period. And Moyes was "better".Originally posted by LondonManc View PostYour head needs checking then. Moyes signed Fellaini, although admittedly Van Gaal insists on playing him.

Although TBH I'm not that impressed with the state of football recently. Used to see people running around the pitch, not walking. Used to see them watching the ball, not wandering around with their backs to it...Comment

Moyes was on 40 points now at the same time in his season (LVG 37)Originally posted by LondonManc View PostYour head needs checking then. Moyes signed Fellaini, although admittedly Van Gaal insists on playing him.
LVG signed Di Maria and Falcao (look how that went) - at least Fellani showed he could play in the premier league at EvertonComment
