Still, you won't be complaining if you win the Europa League.. but you won't. I'd be very surprised if Man Utd won anything this season.

red devil Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Indeed Jah. I don't think it was lost on Utd fans that on a night when we were commemorating IMO the best player to ever wear a Utd shirt, that we should put on such an inept, uninspired, lacklustre performance, bereft of any pace, skill, daring, bravery, imagination, all things you would associate with Georgie. About a year ago LVG was asked about this so-called philosophy of his. He mentioned that players had to learn their role on the pitch, that they were only allowed to play in certain areas, do certain things with the ball. Over time this would become automatic, second nature, he didn't want them to think about what they had to do, they just did it. He didn't want them to play with any intuition, nothing off-the-cuff, no free spirit. Well, he's definitely succeeded on that account. So far the fans have accepted or put up with the dross because of the mess he inherited. The club needed a strong character to sort out the deadwood and a respected manager to attract quality players. But unless there are signs of an improvement in the quality of play, the fans' patience won't last forever...

Moyes didn't have that presence, basically the club was too big for him and ate him alive. You'll have the same problem when Wenger retires, big boots to fill...

Plyers much more likely to want to come and play for Klopp than Rogers (more so if we can get top 4).

I may have said that. If only BFS hadn't gone to Wonderland he might have been able to save us. Relegation beckons and a 6 pointer against Leicester looms. I hope I can stay awake as last night I gave up a good hours sleep to watch that dross.

red devil Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 To be fair, maxxi has been fairly quiet in general since absconding to Vienna.I reckon I post more when Utd lose or, like tonight, when I've had to endure another fooking bore draw.LVG has managed to clone Ray Wilkins...9 fooking times. Only De Gea and Martial play on the front foot...I despair Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/35029-football-focus/page/230/#findComment-931946 Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxxi Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 I'll respond belatedly - saw game over here and we were outplayed by TH for large parts of the game. Obviously miss Payet and lacked a finish to some promising moves; defence still a slight panicky tendency but I wasn't totally dismayed. Do think Walker is a dirty despicable c*nt though*.*This opinion may be subject to a certain amount of bias - but he's still a c*nt.

Alan Medic Posted November 29, 2015 Share Posted November 29, 2015 Am I right in thinking WH had more points at this stage last season? Not that it's all about points of course.As for United being boring,I do think they looked a lot better when Luke Shaw was playing.
