Leave him alone, he's the best manager we've had for ages
Better than Poch?

I thought LVG said he could win the league last week?
Bloody told you all that we should have bought Austin. He gets a goal as soon as he comes on
If he was playing for united he'd have to be put in defense to get a pass, so no.

Sadly that is highly likely
Yeah, I'd say so. Poch was good but ultimately once his Plan A of '150% effort pressing' didn't work, he never knew what to do with us.
His signings were a bit hit and miss too, I'd say the Koeman signings have generally worked out better.

Wasted? He's 19, Spurs bought him at 18 and let him get a full season under his belt for fitness/strength and experience rather than bring him onto the bench for the second half of last year then integrate him within preseason.
He was hardly wasted as he's precisely as good as he is for having two a significant number of games.
His quality also stood out enough that loads of teams were interested in him. Chances of players that good being wasted in the lower leagues is next to none. Scouts, coaches and managers spend every weekend watching games in every league.
Unless something astonishing happens in the remaining games, that IS goal of the season imo
Enough is enough - LVG has to go.
It's the same garbage week in , week out. The Chelsea 0-0 and the win at Swansea got him a short stay longer, but enough is enough.
Yes - injuries have a lot to do with the team selection but it's the same lethargic performance all the time. Never look like scoring, 1 shot on target again today.
As a fan for 35 years, this is the most depressing football I've ever seen. Good players, playing with the fear rather than the passion and flair that we as a club should be instilling in the players.
Awful awful awful depressing stuff. LVG has to go, the board have no option now in my eyes.

Definitely too.
Depends if you want someone for a quick fix (Mourinho) or someone who could actually create / build a team of younger players who may well stay with the club a long time (Pep)
Also unlikely that with the latter the club will implode after 2-3 seasons (which cant be said for Mourinho)
Maybe Pep is already done and dusted to City, all a lot of guessing so far with little facts attached.
If Mourinho comes in now, I would really expect the cracks to be evident by the 17/18 season at the latest, but could well be earlier.
If the board dont make a drastic change right now, Utd havent got a hope for top 4 with that kind of gut wrenching displays (at home no less). The window is also pretty much wasted also but I really wouldnt mind having Giggs (and Fergie assisting if rumours are true, and no reason why they wouldnt be) over seeing 2nd half of the season.
At this point nearly anyone is better than LvG
ain't that the truth.
