Under Moyes, after 15 games - 22 points, 9th in the League
Under LVG, after 15 games - 28 points, 3rd in the League

Coman >>> Koeman
They lost.
They were meh with the ball. They didnt take there chances. They lost concentration defensively.
They were worse m8.

He plays with that formation every time we're missing key defenders or midfielders
I'd be far more annoyed if we still played 3-5-2 with Di Maria and Shaw present

LVG:
Southampton played better than Manchester United
We lost the ball that was not good

Yeah, I agree with that.
Like, I know what LVG is going for. Put more bodies at the back to make less space for the attackers, avoid playing wingers at full back, keep Rooney and van Persie together up top. But our players seem incapable of playing in that system well enough. Whether we'll eventually get there through sheer determination or transfers, I don't know. But his hand is forced a tad due to our squad and injuries.
ADM is crucial to whatever formation we play though, I agree with that.
LVG's always so honest, love it. Doesn't hide behind excuses often, doesn't say we played well when we didn't.
Shhhh

de Gea is incredible
what did he say, and why is he a little bitch?
I will admit, I don't articulate myself well in writing.
Let's have a podcast thingy. Let's get Arnie to host, with all his RBot experience. And then I'll make you see my way of thinking.
I'm like Brenton. I have the gift of the silver tongue.

Remember when we all made fun of Valencia for saying he signed with West Ham in order to play champions league?

Question: 5 wins in a row, do you have momentum or was the performance wasn't good enough.
Answer: No, performance wasn't good enough tonight.

Gaal is so honest.
I would trust him with my life.
Then I'd die.

...hate me...
We played the same formation against Arsenal and we had ADM and Luke Shaw (for a while at least) in that match.
Yeah that was stupid too

Arsenal were all over us right?

So two Southampton players made key mistakes and one United player took advantage, therefore United were the better team? Considering Forster should have dealt with the free kick easily, United didn't really create a single chance.
Ok. I have Laboured's eyes then.

If we were on 22 this season, we'd still be ahead of Liverpool, Spuds, Everton and 1 point off Arsenal. lol
Season started Nov 8th lads. We are top of the table
All that talk of Moyes being better :lol
We were ninth at this point last season.
I'm willing to give LVG a lot of leeway to be honest, because I like him, because he's funny, because we've had an awful lot of injuries and upheaval and because I believe we'll get there.

done.
Exactly. My point is, we really really need to stop playing it. But I think us winning tough games with it, even if we were really lucky in both games, means we are probably going to keep playing it in tough away matches. I feel its probably going to take a proper walloping for us to abandon it completely.
If I had the money I'd buy them and give them to North Korea for Christmas.

Yep, all you had to do was spend a bit of money and watch everyone around you play like planks.
Better to be lucky than good eh Dolecare.

It was awful
We played on the counter the whole match
Maybe it's Blind that we need to get us back to 4-4-2
I expect either Gerrard has a monster of a game or a shit one against United. We'll probably lose.
Now if Sturridge comes back fit and fighting in January, and if we can make a decent signing/get some of our summer misfires going, we have a chance at fourth. (I said something similar in Kenny's season, no doubt)
If anyone can suggest a Netflix film, I'm all ears
