Loving how United "fans" unironically want Mourinho to take over kek
They are willing to accept "Mr. Chelsea" not because of his playstyle or management skills, but because he has a reputation of winning
United "fans" go on about the "United way" of attacking football and playing youth, but under Mourinho that would essentially be all over
Fuck Paki's and Indians are a fickle and fair weathered bunch, next thing they'll be eying up Wonga after they fire Mourinho

Which will be another GUARANTEED flop, just like Zidane on Halal.
The only attacking player who ever made a great manager was Cruyff.
You'd be better off with Gary Lelville (who is already beginning to flop at Valencia but at least has a valid reason in the language barrier).

Remind me how this is LvG's fault? Should he have telepathically predicted the ball's flight and pre-warned de Gea so he could dive 5 seconds earlier and stop the ball?
Should he have predicted Depay's mistake and warned him before the game to chest the ball and then clear it rather than heading to an opponent?
How the fuck is this LvG's fault?
>>64454840
holy fuck
>>64454784
yeah, we haven't been impressive all season but we stuck with it because we were getting results
now that we're not getting results, LVG has nothing left to stand on. he has to go.
we had an amazing opportunity to top the table and we fucking blew it by losing to norwich, bournemouth and stoke.

Are you saying LvG told him to place the ball right next to the keeper?
Don't know why people are suggesting giggs, he was assistant to Moyes and to van lall and both terms have been absolute shit. If it was any other assistant they would be gone already so he doesn't deserve the job, let him go get Swansea relegated
I love that there's been zero narrative about players not trying to force the manager out

>>64454980
it is about the goals. it's also about how you create those goals. we played like complete shit in the first half and only started getting chances once stoke backed off. it's the same shit every week, all these teams are following the same blueprint of getting a result against united and it works far too easily

LvG, rightfully, asked for an apology from journalists saying he had already been sacked. They printed lies and slander about him and was rightfully upset.
He didn't say the media aren't allowed to criticize...

> he still spent £250m
It's actually £214 you mong, and I don't give a fuck if it were £214 BILLION. It's the clubs to spend and I hope we spend a hell of a lot more in the future. Investing in players instead of paying off debts is wonderful. Doesn't work out? Big deal. That's football. You need to take risks and spend big. That's the way of it these days. I hope we go for Muller, Bale, Neymar and Ronaldo this summer. £120-£150 million each ought to turn some heads. At least one of them has to work out with a bit of luck.
Now fuck off you mouth breathing spastic. It's like this is your first year of following football, I wouldn't be surprised if you started less than 5 years ago based on some of your ridiculous comments.

With 250 mill spent results are expected. Sneaking into the CL last season only to get knocked out in the group stage, losing the players, failing against minnows in cup competitions and free falling in the league are enough to get anyone sacked. There's delusion and there's stupidity. LvG is done
>>64455602
so its okay to waste 250m because we have a lot of money? you should be a businessman
if you seriously think spending that much money and still looking like shit is nothing to be worried about, then you're quite frankly deluded
>>64455614
Basically his family owns oil and over the past 20 years or so has slowly invested it into many different areas. Tourism, aviation and so on.
The plan is by 2030 to be one of the richest businesses in the world. Plus links to Royal Family as well. Not Brit Royal Family, their sand nigger ones.
So, he literally does nothing and delegates roles to smart people who then get paid to earn money for him.

>>64455668
talk about net spend.
>>64455627
>and it should have been 4-0 to Stoke
What?
Stoke only scored because Memphis made a ridiculous error and handed them it on a plate.
They were very fortunate to go into half-time in the lead.
>4-0
No idea where you're getting this from. But first half Stoke probably shaded it, second half United shaded it with Stoke looking lively on the counter.
A draw would have been a fair result.
>>64455697
If you go on Net Spend, then Arsenal are one of the greatest clubs of all time and it's only the purchase of Sanchez which has tipped them over profit on their deals since Wenger came in.
Nobody would care if united spent £500m a season if they won shit. The fact is, they're out of the CL and League Cup and are 10 points behind a team which could go 13.
>>64455668
It's not 250 because he sold 110 worth and also the squad needed an overhaul because ferguson left a VERY WEAK squad for >Moyes
Basically needed at least 8 new players as standard. So to get them for under 120 million, like LvG has done is quite an achievement
There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG with LvG's transfer activity and spending. He's done a brilliant job. He's brought in some great players.
>ok to waste
It's not wasted though you fucking retard.
>>64455766

why is it not 250? did other teams just give away their players for free? stop this shite about net spend. you sound just like liverpool fans being okay about spending 35m on andy carroll because they sold torres for 50m.
I agree the players he brought in are mostly good. only biggest failings are di maria and falcao, probably depay too if he continues being this shite. the problem is he spent all this money on these players and can't get them to play good football. these are HIS players, and after all this time we're still playing this boring sideways possession football.
he also made the squad far too thin. after the massive injury crisis we had last season I'd have thought he would have learned from it but nope. chicharito sure would be nice right now huh
>>64455816
they're 6 ahead of united actually
>>64455816
They don't moan because the money they've spent has been on players doing well. Sterling has scored plenty of goals and KDB has as well.
They're also in LC and CL and still within possibility of EPL, especially since Arsenal have the worst injury list of the Top teams currently and they always shit the bed.

How is the Stoke boy falling over about 46 yards away from goal with Smalling about 2 yards away from him a CLEAR chance?
Fuck off. Mine were clearer chances than yours.
>>64455997
Di Maria is just another example of how attacking players fail under LVG.

This is genuinely the truth.
And the fact it's United, big bad United. Big bad United who have dominated football for decades. Big bad United who have been the bane of everyone's lives growing up as kids.
>>64456028
Yeah, that wasn't me. Fine. 3-0 then :)
Either way, United lost.
>>64456054
I'm inclined to agree with you, but he was still poor. He was struggling to beat men in the EPL. He was too weak. Not strong enough to power past them.
The point is that 99.999999% of people agreed di Maria was an absolutely fantastic, amazing, shockingly brilliant transfer AT THE TIME.
He was arguably the 3rd best footballer on the planet at the time.
>>64456100
7-3 you mean
>>64456147
>He was arguably the 3rd best footballer on the planet at the time
lel no, nobody has every argued such nonsense
>>64456147
>He was struggling to beat men in the EPL. He was too weak. Not strong enough to power past them.
But he was fantastic for a month or two. He was just an awful fit for van Gaal's sideways passing attack
>>64456147
In another system he would have worked wonders. Despite the fact that Di Maria played like shit, he still got like 15 assists for United, which would be unheard of right now.
Imagine him in a fast paced counter attacking team, he would have been absolutely ace. Instead he got forced into this possession football shite with no movement up front.
>He was arguably the 3rd best footballer on the planet at the time.

>>64456017
Pretty damn good. Was good again today. Hard to believe he's just 19.
Wouldn't swap him for any City player that's for sure. Not unless you presented a 100% fully fit (and guaranteed never to get injured again Aguero) in his peak form.
Then and only then would I consider a trade. Even then, I think it'd be tough. Martial has a higher ceiling.
>>64456179
he was arguably 2nd behind messi
lot of people said he was better than ronaldo for madrid in that CL winning season
i remember arguing with a lot of people on here and i was saying ronaldo was better, so you're wrong
>>64454681
SALES BOIS
>>64456238
no, no, no. He was better than penaldo in CL and created the goal that turned the final around but he was never considered top 3 or top 2 or whatever in football. He simply wasn't, not even for a day.
>>64456238
>lot of people said he was better than ronaldo for madrid in that CL winning season
The only people who said that were the ones who only saw the CL final and assumed he played like that the entire season.
Protip: he did not
>>64454681
Traditionally fox hunts are on Boxing Day.
Boxing Day is pretty much a fallback Christmas Day for people who can't avoid work on the 25th.
Most people stay at home, maybe venturing out for a countryside walk, going to the sales is a more recent thing.
To those who are sticking with Van Gaal, explain why. What has he done so well this season?
I mean... At no point this season were we fun to watch, but at least it was working for a while?
We don't have two of our right backs (first and second choice), left back (First choice), two central midfielders (first and second choice), and Rojo.
Definitely not making a case for LvG, just pointing out at dur dur dur 200 million is kind of a dumb argument to make here. This boring, ugly soccer worked before all the injuries. The dinosaur just can't adjust for some reason.
And i've never gone into a game thinking "Yeah, were gonna lose today." First time ever.
>>64456341
>>64456342
>>64456395
Doesn't matter if you think they were wrong. A LOT of people were convinced. This is not up for discussion. It was a fact that many believed he was better (rightly or wrongly).
Therefore, what I am saying, that it was ARGUABLE is correct.
So I'm right. He was ARGUABLY the 3rd best footballer in the world.
QED.
And no, it doesn't take one deluded idiot to make something 'arguable' It instead takes CONSENSUS opinion across many different cohorts. And that was the case with di Maria. Pundits and 'experts' were saying similar things. Rightly or wrongly. After his transfer they were talking about how Manchester United have signed "One of the best footballers in the world" etc. etc. etc. etc. and so on and so on.
>>64456437
brought joy to ABUs such as myself
>>64456489
Thing is, even when we were winning we didn't look convincing at all except for that Everton away game. It always felt like it was a chore to get the results.
The biggest worry for me is even when we're losing with 20 or so minutes to go, I just can't see United scoring and getting back in the game. Our response to conceding is just so pathetic.
>>64455614
Oil and slave labour. If you want someone to blame, blame us greedy gas guzzling westerners.
>>64456497
>One of the best footballers in the world
literally said of every transfer made
Really, Di María was never considered top 3, not even once. He's a great player, like many other great players out there.
>>64454594
>Moyes signings - Fellaini and Mata
>LVG signings - Shaw, Rojo, Valdes, Di Maria, Falcao, Memphis, Martial, Schneiderlin, Darmian, Blind, Herrara, Schweinsteiger, Romero
Moyes can't be blamed when he received no help at all from the board when it came to signings.
>>64456723
See
>>64456497
You need to slow down and read every line clearly because it's all there. You clearly haven't done it yet because you are still struggling.
>chelsea losing
now we're 7th
>>64456754
>Moyes can't be blamed when he received no help at all from the board when it came to signings
Why do people still think this? Didn't they see his press conferences where he literally said the following:-
"Isn't it great when you're told you can sign any player? That there is no budget? I think it's wonderful."
Moyes was given 100% backing. He was given an UNLIMITED transfer kitty. He was told to go out and sign WHOEVER he wanted. Complete freedom. This is a fact. Both Moyes and the club (Woodward) confirmed this publicly MANY TIMES.
You're objectively wrong.
>>64456909
Who gives a shit? It's not about placing in the league it's about points. We're still just 6 points away from City, the only team that realistically can win the league.
6 points at Christmas is NOTHING. By January we could be 6 points ahead of them. No big deal.
Leicester will not keep it up.
Arsenal choke hard every single year.
Relax. If anything, it's good that Chelsea are still struggling because Chelsea are a more realistic title rival to us than Liverpool, Spurs, Arse or Leicester even with their awful start.
>>64456984
you don't think arsenal can realistically win it?
>>64456984
This. The fact City aren't on 45+ points is the only saving grace of this season. They're very catchable.
>>64456984
QFT!
>>64457002
Absolutely not. I think that even if United stick with LvG for the whole season they'll still finish above Arsenal.
Arsenal are the same every single year since 2004.
>Pretty football
>Get everyones hopes up before January/February
>Weak as fuck. Vulnerable. Mentally weak.
>Choke hard
>Injuries
>Finish 4th
>manure customers think LVG is the problem
hahahhahaha is there a more clueless fanbase out there? I don't think so
>>64456839
kek no matter how much you argue about it, Di María was never considered top 3, not even by his parents on his birthday. It's incredibly amusing how any player that signs for united suddenly becomes world class or top whatever.
>>64455135
You forgot class and history . . . Oh . . . Yeah. . . Never mind
>>64457215
I'll try again just because I'm bored.
1. Literally thousands of people were saying it. Including fans, /sp/ posters, Man United fans, Real Madrid fans, Barcelona fans, Pundits, SKY, the BBC.
2. I personally argued AGAINST di Maria being a top 2/3 footballer in the world. Because that was MY personal opinion.
3. I'm not a Man United fan. I support Villa and have no interest in helping Man United's cause
Hope this helps, I'm doubtful because you seem a bit thick. You still seem to think I'm trying to argue the case that di Maria was the 2nd or 3rd best player in the world when that's not even my own personal opinion.
>we didn't dare to play football
So, is he subliminally saying he's lost the players? Surely LVG, being the coach, should be the one motivating players, keeping them updated on tactics and positioning, and play-style during the games...
I don't get what he is saying. It doesn't seem as though the players have freedom enough outside of his tactics/philosophy to "dare to play" as he is suggesting.
>>64457381
Just because some people thought it'd be a good transfer doesn't make it any less of a failure. The people who make transfer decisions at a club like United are in that position (and are getting a lot of money for it) because they're supposed to know better than fans, /sp/ posters and Sky pundits
>>64457427
They just seem generally lost and confused about what he wants them to do.
>>64457113
>His job is to get the team to win
>He has unlimited money to bring in any player he wishes, any player he thinks will improve the team
>He has had 2 years to do it
>Literally, his job is to win
>He is not winning
How can it NOT be his fault?
>>64457381
>Literally thousands of people were saying it
kek, funny how none of them were in spain nor madrid fans, where Di María played every week and nobody ever considered him top 3 in the world or ever bothered when he didn't get a single ballon d'or nomination.
I don't care what you argue for or support, saying Di María was considered top 3 in the world when he signed for united is simply false. He was considered the best madrid player in that CL final, that's all.
>>64454894
>le only watch highlights united fan
How about LVG couldn't get their team to create chances and get a goal
>>64454908
Kek
>>64457462
Of course it was a failure, not trying to suggest it wasn't. Ultimately it's the manager's fault for making the wrong call.
All I'm saying is that LvG wasn't alone in thinking that it was a great transfer. It wasn't like it was some 'mad scientist' moment. It seemed like a pretty safe bet at the time.
>>64457574
>funny how none of them were in spain nor madrid fans
But they were. As stated in my post already. Again, learn to read. I remember a few Madrid posters on here mocking the idea that United could somehow sign their best player. A bit like the de Gea situation really... embarrassing for them.
>United fans actually have to support Arsenal just so Man City don't win the league
Top kek. You are now on board a train destined to fail hoping for another doomed club not to choke.
>>64457574
>I don't care what other people think
>It is a fact that other people thought what I thought
Wow. It's like you literally have brain damage. I imagine you breathing out of your mouth and mashing your keyboard with your fists like some sort of demented ogre. I'm actually impressed you are able to write so legibly thus far.
Fair play mongo.
>>64457712
least im not irish
>>64457574
di maria was comfortably madrid's best footballer, he was core to everything they did in an attacking sense, his drive from CM was key to madrid's attacking football, he was more important than ronaldo was even if he didn't score as many goals
literally every madrid and spanish poster on /sp/ was riding his dick that entire year
cry harder faggot
>>64457762
Check your ancestry.
>>64457667
you do understand that the fact that madrid fans didn't want to let Di María go doesn't make him top 3?
>literally thousands of people were saying it
no proof whatsoever
>I remember a few madrid posters on here
kek, really? is this all you've got?
