It’s a lot harder to play that total football style than Jose’s belt and braces football LvG failed but the idea was right and we should have stuck with that Points are a lot better now but our development as a team to get up to the elite clubs in Europe feels even further away because the approach to begin with is wrong |

Nobody is pining for Van Gaal, we're just disagreeing with the notion that there has been an improvement. There hasn't. Fellaini started against Sevilla ffs ..how is that in any way progression away from the horrors of Moyes? We look cumbersome, boring, dated, confused, unfit ... & we've got a manager who sends us out after HT to just defend our own 18 yard line I can't remember the stat so I won't use it, but I think in the combined second halves of the Liverpool, Brighton & Swansea games at OT we had half a dozen shots & about 3 corners. How is that improving? It's all Ashley Young & Chris Smalling's fault though obviously. Once they're gone we'll be playing Barcelona off the park. |

Don't think Ziggy is saying we should have stuck with LVG, would interpret it as sticking with the idea but finding someone else to implement it.
That would give the decision makers above the manager credit for actually having a plan for how the club should move forward on the pitch. |

Was delighted when LvG was appointed as I always wanted to see that total football style at Utd (and still do) Sad to see how it turned out Wanted us to carry on with this approach to football but with Woody at the helm I knew we wouldn’t Hoped for the best with Jose but after near 2 seasons I’ve seen enough to know Jose will never get get us playing consistently the football I want to see Utd play |

The top teams and their managers don't treat football matches like chess.
The era of calculating every move, readjusting as per your opponents and overall strategic cautiousness was the noughties. The best teams don't see an away leg draw as a great result. A great result is to win. They try to win and if they lose but come away with an away goal or two, it's fine. A 4-3 defeat is better than 0-0. Times have changed. Goals scored and rate of goals is the highest probably since the 19th century when the pioneering Norbert Finkelton unleashed the 1-2-7 formation to the world. |
