Personally, I don't think we will win on Tuesday, but I most certainly hope I'm wrong.

I just don't think we are good enough, but I been wrong fair few times this year and hope it continues.

Me too!

Would disagree with the assertion we are not good enough, its hardly Munich we are playing! We are certainly good enough to beat them, whether we play to ability or not is another matter of course

Was reading John Aldridge's column during the game,he was on about the pool having got all the away games against the top teams out of the way and all they would need to do is turn Anfield into a fortress

"If Anfield is made a fortress,who can stop us?"

Then boom they go down 1 nil away to Newcastle

Aldridge is one of the worst pundits/journalists there is out there. Three wins in a row for the Scouse and he thinks they will win the league. Tarmac talker

Why don't you think we can win there?

because right now, we are playing the worst football seen at the club for almost 30 years. we have a hosts of average players in our squad and first 11 that would not get into any top team in the champions league. in our recent away Champions league games, we have not played too well, we have also struggled in almost every away game in the PL and have barely scraped results, against teams much worse than Wolfsburg.

we can win of course, but based on the last 2 months the odds of us doing so are not good.

more to the point though, we are also right now in one of the worst scoring runs in decades at the club.

a draw by CSKA and us getting a draw are out best chance of us qualifying IMO.

Oh I agree, I'm just saying if we go for any target I like get him.

He be realistic target. I mean ideal world like few others, but that was for summer past and maybe future

And i don't think he suddenly turn us into Barcelona

Higuan would improve us for sure, i think we should go all out and sign him.

the thing is, we actually need to sign 3 players in attack and its going to cost about £150m to get them.

Napoli arent going to sell him. It's as simple as that.

I like Higuain but there are hints of Rooney about him. A superstar on big wages who peaked early and physically has slowed down earlier than he should.

The big difference I suppose is that he is in good form at the moment and Rooney isnt but it's not a signing I think would be an answer to Uniteds problems.

Wouldn't put too much stock in Red Issue. Don't they regularly tease insider info on their forum, that you have to pay to see?

Some clips from yesterday,we were wasteful in front of goal.There were a few nice bits of interplay though.

That's probably true. I watched Step Up.

But I think you haven't played enough sport if you don't understand the legacy a team inherits from it's predecessors.

C'mon now. Total exageration. We are more defensively solid then we have been in quite a while. Possesion wise we are good too. We were dire under Moyes and in Fergies last two seasons we had no control over many games, our midfeild was completely bi-passed. Sure its not happening up front as we would like but at least the possesion football gives us control.

Saying its the worst in 30 years is a total over reaction.

we have failed to score in 6 of the last 12 games, scoring only 10 goals.i am pretty sure, you wont find many periods of footballs in the last 30 years with stats that bad. and even you can forget stats, what we are witnessing on the pitch is something i have never seen in my lifetime, we are absolutely putrid to watch and i would say even fans at Bournemouth, West Brom and Norwich are more happy with their teams football than ours.

im going to United games for 14 years and ive never seen so much discontent amongest the match going fanbase, people are sick of it.

definsively solid means f*ck all when we cant score. this contstant head in the hands stuff within a very small section of our fans is almsot as frustrating as our puck football now as its baffling how theres anybody left to defend the manager and players.

the only positive right now is that it cant get any worse.

Looking at LVGs long term plan rather than taking each result on its own basis it what we should be doing. The progress is happening. We are not going to win the UCL this season, we just don't have the squad to compete and the EPL is a big ask.

I usually don't rate those fan interview videos, they make me cringe 99% of the time, but this one is spot on. The fan giving his opinion is brilliant. I agrees with everything he says, he gets the long term view so much its like he's reading my mind



More pros than cons nder LVG. I 100% agree. What he said about swapping out our front line for Barcas and being solid from back. 100% agree.

Also this article is brilliant. It gives an insight into LVG and how he builds long term, well worth a read if you buy into the long term and paints LVG as a humble guy, which he comes accross as anything but in the media.

As for yesterday, my opinion was it was probbly our best 0-0. 21 shots, not scoring was all on the player for me not LVG. The football was not boring and we created plenty. West ham have beaten Arsenal, City and Liverpool away frm home and Chelsea at home. They are not pushovers.

define progress? you call being one of the most negative teams in the league and passing 500 times sideways, is progress? we have spent £320million and we have a squad missing a heap of talent.

if anything, considering all the money spent, we are regressing and its alarming just how poor we have become. ive seen 2 or 3 lads on here constantly beating this nonsense. even under Moyes, for the 12 games before he was sacked, we had scored 20 goals, its 10 from the last 12 under LVG.

if that doesnt wake people up, i dont know what will.
