Just read LVG's explanation on playing Young upfront. Pls sack him now.

Utd defence did forget about Ali & Lamela last night.

Let's analyse..

DDG - goalkeeper (duh) 6/10
Mensah - RB (played brilliantly sometimes as CB) 8/10
Smalling - CB (1st goal his fault) 5
Blind - CB (shocker of a game) 3
Rojo - LB (mediocre game) 5
Carrick - DMC (forgettable game, slow) 4
Schneiderlin - DMC (MIA) 3
Mata - AMR (played more as RB) 3
Lingard - AMC (zero contribution) 2
Martial - AML (decent game) 7
Rashford - CF (MIA) 3
Young - CF (WTF) 1
Darmian - RB (at fault for all 3 goals) 1
Memphis - AMR (potential UFC star) 0
LVG - so-called master tactician ("we are still bigger than Spurs") 2
Giggs - Assistant Mgr (clueless, confused, I'm out of here) 1

Overall 3/10

Mutiny inkambing

Utd players turn on LVG

Unlikely. This should be the final table....

3. MCI
4. ARS
5. WHU
6. SOU
7. LIV
8. MUN

Let's look at Utd's remaining fixtures (possible win percentage)

v AVL (H) no excuse not to win but if lose LVG to be sacked earlier (90/100)

v CRY (H) not easy & Palace could be back on form by the time (65)

v LEI (H) Leicester might already be champion by then or needing a point to clinch it (40)

v NOR (A) Norwich could already be relegated or needing points to stay in the relegation fight (55)

v WHU (A) Hammers could be dreaming about Wembley by then. Best chance to win (95)

v BOU (H) Teams with nothing to play for are more dangerous. (55)

Possible points tally 12 out of 18

Damn. What a bittersweet victory this is.

On a different perspective...LVG is brilliant! He let Spurs beat Utd just so that Arsenal is dejected enough to give up the chase & lose their focus hence City can takeover 3rd place & Arsenal slips out of the top 4.

Oh if you can't beat em join LVG

Somehow the sarcasm seems to have escaped you

Anyway, how about it now guys? Wembley game is always welcomed. But are we convinced enough about LVG if he wins the Cup but out of top 4? Will he still get the sack if that happens? So many questions.

One thing's for sure, London clubs are nowhere to be seen

Yup, the unlikely scenario dismissed by some of you here has become quite likely.

A reminder...

Well, it's still a long way to go but we said that sometime ago.

Anyway, interesting to see who city gets in semi...will it be Bayern?

LOL...I notice many pool supporters finally emerging from their caves already. Calm your tits. It's just a semi final. Oh..they think the biggest teams are all out already

The most interesting was the snow & then sun

I suspect the floodgate won't open in second half.

Rooney's form is back! Lousy first touches, stray passes & losing the ball!

Cukur Rooney is substituted

No idea, no creativity, no offence. Sideway, back passes, ball in the middle dunno what to do. Appalling.
