JJ72 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Was on a very long bus ride during the match, but glad to see we won. Still a chance for top four, though I guess Liverpool could make that entirely meaningless? Not sure about the rules there, but apart from that possible bombshell, if we win the last two, we have a chance. City had to win the champions league for that to happen Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

enigmatic Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 It's almost like he's trying to see how close he can get to being sacked without actually getting sacked. I like the way that after a relatively good, entertaining game that booked tickets to get to a cup final he was inexplicably furious about the refereeing, but after a dire-even-by-this-season's-standards performance against relegation fodder he pronounces himself a happy manager.

Roy Race 9 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 its almost like LvG is trying to NOT finish in the top 4. not just him no one wants it I know some people are desperate to see us get 4th...good on them but what do they think happens when we have to play UCL/EPL games, we will suddenly morph into this continental super power with teams quaking in their boots:rolleyes: we had the easiest group this year(jesus I couldn't have asked for better if I hand picked the opposition)and it was dire, it will be the same next season under him, he will not change he believes he is doing a good job, and keeping him on endorses that He has bemoaned the fact we have no senior players with flair(eluding to the fact I will bring them in, given a chance) he had di maria who is a top player and fits the bill perfectly for the player we need, we know what happened there...so it will be different next time he has mata and where does he play him??? as someone who has grown up watching us play attacking entertaining football this man has sucked all the joy out of watching Utd I cant forgive him for that, we have a cup final coming up and I am just wondering how is he going to spoil that lingard in holding role, young lone striker,??? or play 3 holding mids go for pens:D Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sid1984 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 The would be no point being in the CL with LVG cos we'll get destroyed in the easiest group imaginable again. I want top 4 as it would stop city and pep being in the CL which would be funny. I also hope someone at the club would use some common sense and bring in mourinho regardless.

Bren24 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 I want top 4 to bolster our finances. CL football is also required to bring in the kind of players who could improve our squad (Ignoring the fact that LVG would then ruin them). If we somehow manage to qualify, I'll still be preying that the hierarchy end LVG's term in the summer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReggaeBwoy Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 All of them. Adnan is a much better player technically and a better decision maker. Depay's got a better long range shooting game and maybe slightly quicker but that's about it. Depay's been absolute *****. But Depay is still better. Better than Lingard too. He just has had a difficult season but under a new manager I think you would see a very much different Depay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sebsy Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Anyone who doesn't want top 4 is daft, plain and simple. Then, it was robbo, so... Even if we win the FA Cup and get 4th, LVG needs to go, but I am struggling to see us getting rid of him even if we fail on both counts. Seems there is no way he isn't seeing out his last year no matter what. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_ Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 He's staying next year which i don't understand at all. Even forgetting the results and performances, what's the plan for after next season? He's definitely going after that. It's not like he's built something over the last 2 years and next year we're going to see his master plan. He needs to buy in the summer. But as he's leaving a year later why not just get someone else in with the intention of staying a few years that can buy for the future now rather than having another shambles of a season and come a few months time we have this desperate need for a manager. Unless Giggs is 100% taking over after next season. That's the only reason i can think of that LVG is still here. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ddidiodion Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Hopefully we've agreed that LvG will move on at the end of the season, if that's the case then we're going about it the right away. We've seen what happened to City when they announced Pep, it's better to minimise distractions until all the games are done and allow LvG the best chance of ending on a high. It's frustrating for fans but immediate gratification of the fanbase isn't the way to run a football club. If he's here next season... well I just hope we have a good transfer window.

Stolen from Redcafe It's the nature of those games - I don't think anyone's had too many complaints about the cup ties or the derby, but aside from the shellacking from Spurs there's been abject wins against Everton, Villa and Norwich sides in complete disarray, who sit 16th, 20th and 19th respectively in that same form table. Even taking away the intangible attraction to more attractive, high tempo, positive football; if we come away with three points from our last two games and city draw at Swansea (both feasible scenarios) then games like those will be the legacy of another season lost to goal difference.
