I know we don't need a reminder, but Leicester have won 1 of their last 5 league games and they're still top and 10 points ahead of us. Really is shocking.
I want van Gaal to succeed and get us back to the top but I still can't get my head around the fact we've won 5 in 20 or something like that. How do the board feel that's acceptable? If they don't want to fire him we should at least be going all out to sign anyone who could improve us in this window.
Look at Newcastle, they've signed Shelvey, Saivet and maybe Townsend soon. Bournemouth have got a few strikers in. Not suggesting these players are top drawer but these clubs are working to try and improve the position they're in.
We should be trying to do the same (I know it's not easy), as the players aren't exactly blameless in all this mess. Come on lads, a win tomorrow would be a massive lift although I just can't see it!
Anyone realistically think we'll make signings this month?
How bad we've been...

Not just pep guys. There's 5 or 6 quality managers that could move in summer. Pep is not the messiah. He's not the be all.

1. Pep - obvious one
2. Jose - one bad season doesn't make him poor. Incredible record.
3. Conte - Already said he misses day to day involvement and will step down from Italy after euros.
4. Blanc - seems very happy at.psg and they are eager to keep him but he may be persuaded with a fresh challenge. Ligue 1 isn't a challenge for anyone managing psg. Its the minimum expectation.
5. Diego Simeone - talented no nonsense coach. Quite remarkable job he's done at Atletico.
6. Allegri - apparently would relish a chance In.Pl after juve stint.
I sure there are others too. Pep isn't everything.

Here's a stat for you..... Since we last played Liverpool at Anfailed we have played 29 league games; Won 12, drawn 9, and lost 8, We have scored just 37 goals (less than 1.3 goals a game) and conceded 30.
If this kind of form continues we would finish with around 60 points (Possibly up to 10 points short of top four). That point tally usually averages 7th or 8th in the table.
And some still want LvG to stay

We still picked up more points then Liverpool by probably around 6 points.

We could get beat 5-0 at anfield tomorrow and VG will still be the manager for the next game
He's already handed in his retirement date
He had told the world don't expect ant signings at uNited this window.
And threatened the b of d with him possibly walking away if people stop being unkind to him.
His current form is pathrtic. Cancel that. It's relegation form.
What's this all about then?

LVG has turned us into the best team in the premierleague this season.

Liverpool goal difference at anfield is +0 so hard to lose 5-0.

TBH outside of the injury hit December our form has been fine this season. That is why he hasn't been fired.

P.S. Not sure I wanted AFC Telford tagging in this but you never know, they may have some players good enough to get into our XI this season!
