2015/16 Champions League

Oh Lord CSKA are winning Probably the only way we would have qualified

Oh wait nevermind 1-1. Fucking football

Didnt last long

Real 8-0 up on Malmo, Ronaldo with 4!

Looks like Man City are going to win their group.

WHAT IS GOING ON

Fellaini

I'm certain that should have been disallowed but who cares \o/

United with a goal that sums up their club in 2015

like....seriously

Haha, Naldo ruins the party again...

And then PSV score straight away!

Just put us out of our misery. Please

Ah I think PSV just have

Haha this is golden

Irony is that this is the least Van Gaal like United game we've ever had and its the night people will turn on him.

See you on Thursday boys

Yeah after that first goal I would have loved a boring defensive LVG performance

Hahahahaha brilliant!

Suddenly playing Europa league on a Thursday isn't so funny Is it United fans?

All take the piss out of Liverpool pre season, now look what's gone on!

We're gonna go full Banter Era tomorrow night but this is fucking funny

Played great football. Had fuck all luck tonight, injuries mounting, our two young full backs were fucking fantastic. Memphis did well, Martial too. All the young players were brilliant.

Bastian was woeful, and aside from his assist Mata was fucking shit.

Damage was done, we should have beat PSV at home with ease. Could have scored more goals, but so could have Wolfsburg.

I thought we'd be out anyway, but then this fucking club gave me false hope.

Come join us, well pretend its the old Champions League days but on Thursdays

Performance wasn't bad tonight, but the clusterfuck performances in the previous five matches cost us. We weren't going to win the CL this season, but the approach to the games has been embarrassing.

Let's hope we go out of the Europa League asap.

Yeah, thats when we went out in honesty.

Objectively speaking, I thought we were good today. Should have done better with probably all three of their goals (but their second was one of the better goals I can remember scored against us). And were unlucky to only score two.

If we play like that all season Van Gaal will win back the moaners who apparently care more about the performance than the result but are now moaning because we lost.

Rooney was so so bad tonight, don't know why he's in the team he didn't contribute anything..

I'm honestly a little bit surprised that he's avoiding a pasting. Most of the things United fans are complaining about on the internet at the minute didn't actually happen in that game, so it wouldn't be THAT weird if they were going after a player that didn't play, too.

Bye bye Man United

Even Moyes managed to get past the group stage. On that note, would you Man Utd fans rather stick with LVG or take back Moyes? Just wondering.

All that money spent and ending up with Varela, Powell, Lingard and Borthwick-Jackson on the pitch to try and get you out of the CL group phase And not even a difficult group.

Don't even know what to say tbh

Because of Moyes we finished 7th in the league. Anyone who says Moyes is better than LvG is either a troll or a idiot tbh.

Of course we should be through in the group stage, we should have wrapped it up against PSV at home. The manner of which we went out is what disappoints me the most. But people are forgetting United are in transition, 10 years ago we were knocked out of the group stage entirely by Benfica, yesterday I was reading through articles at the time calling for Fergie to retire, that he'd never win anything again, and we all know what happened. At the time of us going out the Glazers had taken over and Keane had just left - a big transition.

We all know it'd be messy when Fergie retired. Moyes was a huge disaster so LvG was brought in to stabilise the club and rebuild the team, removing all the deadwood. He's doing all of that now. He's completed the first task of bringing us back to the CL, of course we should have got through the group stage, but if we finish in the top two of the PL and win a cup, will anyone care in May? Calling for LvG to be sacked is fucking stupid, we're three points off the top! Of course at the moment the way we're playing isn't great and we should demand more - but everybody should look at the league table.

The style of football isn't everyone's preference, we played attacking yesterday and lost - people still moan. The decision making is baffling at times, but there were positives yesterday. Our youngsters looked terrific, remember all the articles saying we lost our identity when we sold Welbeck, an average striker who's done nothing at Arsenal except score against United, yet we bought on Borthwick-Jackson instead of Young when Darmian got injured. Also Varela did superbly last night, Martial and Memphis were our main attacking threats and did well. We also had a fuck load of injuries and bad luck.

It's a huge process at United replacing Fergie, LvG has done the job he was bought in to do, CL is a disappointment of course and he must take the blame, but sacking him now would destroy the stability. Saying that, if Pep or Ancelotti are available in the summer, I'd happily go for them. If we bring in Giggs after LvG it'll be just as big a risk as Moyes was.

Michael Owen last night said two amazing things:

1. "Quite far... quite a way off, from challenging for titles." we're three points off the top.
2. United winning the league would only be 'papering over the cracks'. What?

I don't believe Van Gaal would have done any better if he was left with what Moyes had to work with, especially straight after Fergie retired. Moyes managed 34pts after 19 games during his first season, where as Van Gaal's Utd has 28pts after 15 games this season but has spent nearly £200m more... Moyes would have needed 80pts to finish in the top four in his season where as Van Gaal needed just 70 for the same position! Utd have hardly if actually improved much at all, certainly not nearly enough for the money spent. They're just lucky that the Premier League seems to be slowly deteriorating in quality and that is what is making Van Gaal appear to be doing a much better than he really is.
