Days like this I wish we fired LVG in November ;)

It just shows what we could have been playing like earlier in the season imo. Passing the ball at pace and not over complicating everything.
I appreciate it could be his "philosophy" has now sunk in, but I prefer to look at it as he has finally realised he is managing Man Utd and we won't stand for his rubbish for much longer.
A happy merger could be on the cards, especially as he is picking players on form rather than Rep!

That's why you have to give the manager a chance. You don't criticise on every opportunity. There will be ups and downs surely.

You throw enough darts eventually you will hit the bullseye!
Criticism was more than justified, and whilst I hope he has learnt from the lessons of this season 2 results and 2 good halves of attacking football don't mean we should write off the atrocious performances and bizarre decisions we have seen throughout the season.
Credit where its due, but certainly not redemption yet! We have seen X10 poor games for every good one.

Criticism was justified, saying he should be sacked wasn't really. My comment was only tongue in cheek mate i'm pretty sure you are eating some of your words a little as it is. Interesting how since you said you weren't bothered about the performances they have improved somewhat. Maybe say you aren't interested in winning the league ;)

The Beast, do you agree the manager needs to be given time? While I agree with you performances in the past were far below expectations, I think we were quick to jump on the manager's back given every opportunity.
Above all, I like your passion mate.

Beast, criticism was not justified as we have a world class manager, proven. And he had over 50 injuries in 3 months. He and 6 of our players were new. Most were new to this country, and you wanted them to gel straight away. It doesn't work like that.
Today is special so please give credit where its due.

GDS2 - I appreciate you were being sarcastic and you are justified to revel in it, as you have had the guys back during the dark times.
We all want LVG to do well as the club does well.
My view is you get more from life by being decisive, but that means making the occasional wrong call. I hope I do end up looking foolish for wanting him out.
I am a long way from being convinced about him still, despite actually enjoying watching us again. Long may it continue and I'll be sure to let you know when/if I tuck into my massive portion of humble pie, but we haven't even put it in the oven yet!

FanBoy - if they are showing the right signs then yes. Spurs came out of the blue, it wasn't like we looked like doing that - prior to Spurs he had done zero to show me anything would change no matter how much time he was given.
No-Mid - I actually say "Credit where it's due" in my post.
I am chuffed to bits with the win and the way we played last week. Football is about making decisions, I would have sacked him as he hadn't done enough to justify more time, but my expectations differ from others. I also didn't like the lack of progress with the resources.
I hope this is one of the very rare occasions I called it wrong. But it is too soon to tell. If we keep doing things the way we have recently I will be only too pleased to be wrong.

Dont put it in the oven yourself pal I'll come round and do it for you :)

Beast,
It's obvious that LVG has started reading your posts and changed his ways, especially after you called him. A clown a couple of weeks ago
