The "expectation" talk is what bugs me the most. Why on earth would best goalkeeper and best under 21 player in the world want to stay at a club that only hopes to get CL football each year? In trying to save his own arse LVG could be damaging our club, it's perverse

I wanted to create a post about what he means by this but was afraid of it being a 'shitpost' so I'll post it here.

If you look at juventus they went down and under and then rose back to where they belong by doing just this. They invested in young kids kept their core and this brought them the success they have had over the past couple of seasons not to mention their success in the CL.

He's not saying its wrong for Utd fans to want the CL, wanting to win the title or anything like that because in the end that's what he's trying to build. A team that is fit amd ready for later on to add WC stars to for Utd to be great again. Right now that's what he means. He's sayinf to right now expect to win titles isn't gonna cut it.

In my book the only reasom van Gaal should go is the boring ass displays that are shown time and time again. You have this group of players that each in their own way have allot of swag and flair to them. Let the boys play, entertain us.

So all in all. The concept is good, just they way its being played is very very dull.

I see a large issue in midfield. Schneiderlin and Rooney are good enough but a real box to box, physical midfielder is needed, someone with a bit of pace and stamina, like milner for pool or kante for Leicester. These are hard workers who aren't the flashiest or classiest players but play for the badge and get the job done. The defence has been solid, makeshift yet still solid and I would put that de gea rumour down, there's no way he's that immature. Rashford and Martial are both brilliant, yet the team is lacking in dedicated wingers. What's most important in my opinion tho is just a bit of steel, someone willing to do the dirty work. It's a midfield full of watchers and egos, bar Rooney I don't see players putting in their full 100.

The midfield is a real concern. If we want to challenge with the best, we need the best.

  • Schneiderlin has been a bit of a letdown but I'll give him the benefit of a doubt.

  • Carrick is done. People always go on about how quality he is and shit but he's had some really bad games this season. The best course of action is to simply let him go.

  • Herrera seems to be crazy overrated, and it's a real shame to admit that. He was at fault for the goal last night and all he seems to be is a high energy guy. He grinds hard but he's not quite setting the world on fire.

  • Mata is a luxury player. He's nowhere near the player we thought we were signing from Chelsea.

  • Fellaini is most likely going to be sold this summer.

  • Schweinsteiger, like Schneiderlin, has been quite underwhelming. His fitness is a major concern and we can't be relying on him like that.

  • Rooney can put in a decent shift against the minnows but he's not an elite CM. Just because he can make a couple of flashy hollywood passes it doesn't mean he's Scholes's successor. The way I see it, he's not anything special in the midfield.

We need a true quality CM such as Kroos but the likelihood of getting such a player is quite low. Renato Sanches could've been a unique option but he's with Bayern now. Hopefully we can give TFM a run in CM and see if he can't be our box-to-box engine of the future, all the while pursuing good options.

Our style of play is absolutely shite as well. Any new manager is going to have to make major changes to the way we play as well as the squad if we want to actually win things which is inevitably going to take time. We really don't seem to be much closer to the end of this transition period than when Van Gaal took over.

I'm not sure "foundation" means individual players so much as the team as a whole playing fully trained in a particular style.

I think if you sat LVG down and asked him to explain his comments about "expectations," he would say something about the injuries derailing this season's plans, and that if you take only our results since Christmas we'd have won the league.

I also think as far as Mourinho is concerned, LVG appears to be a better human being. Mourinho is supposed to be his friend, but he and his aides have spent the season undermining him and presenting themselves as the alternative.

I don't think it matters, because I think he'll be gone after the cup final, but I also think that if he stayed we'd be challenging for the title next season in any case.

Midfield is the biggest issue for me. We need quality and depth.
