If the rumours of Levy being out in Holland a few weeks ago to speak to van Gaal are true, it was probably a pre-emptive sacking just to save time.

If the rumours of Levy being out in Holland a few weeks ago to speak to van Gaal are true, it was probably a pre-emptive sacking just to save time.
Only if you can find a pic of his ideal squad...the one where Townsend was playing through the middle.
He was on after the match today claiming that Townsend is the answer to all of our troubles.
Kid has talent, but he desperately needs to play for the team and stop trying to pull off one-man heroics from long range.
There's been absolutely nothing to suggest he has the respect of the players and even less evidence of any tactical nous.
The guy's a fraud.
Absolutely - proven top class internationals benched by a 2-bob no-mark. I wouldn't be arsed either.
At least you can put all your remaining fixtures on Stub Hub and make some money...................
Fair, but they didn't start at a club of our stature.
The thing is, we had plenty of shit performances this season, so i guess people are right to question the direction where the club is heading right now.
So what should we do oh wise one?
Should we sit back and watch our top 4 dreams shattered once again, and so " oh dear never mind "
Of course people are going to be pissed off. That performance was unacceptable and one that needs discussing and dissecting.
For me, that performance shows where we are in the top 4 race, and that's a million miles away from where these players should be.
The lack of care and urgency we showed yesterday is more than worrying.
Sherwood got so many things wrong and people have every right to vent their anger..
Agree 110%. Not to score any goals in two games against a shite team who hasnt played for 2 months and a team who could be going down says it all. To play 7 players who started on Thursday was unbelievable. Eriksen must be wondering what he has done wrong. Our main midfielder who can unlock a defence plays 15 odd minutes in the EP and doesnt even get a game against Norwich.
Mind boggling.
Mind boggling and stupidity beyond belief.
His obsession with Bemtaleb has cost us and himself.
He's trying to prove some wierd and wonderful point by playing him in every minute of every game but it's back fired and he's just shown the footballing world, and more importantly Levy, that he is not ready to manage a big club.
We started the game with Capoue, Bentaleb, Paulinho and Dembele and yet a two bob midfield bossed the middle.
It was horrible and everyone apart from Sherwood could see it wasn't working. Paulinho has a goal in his locker but Bentaleb doesn't, so who does he take off.? Yep you guessed it..
I sat there yesterday trying to fathom what sort of system we were trying to play, but it couldn't work it out. The players didn't have a clue either.
Leaving Eriksen sitting there for the entire game was utterly ridiculous and a decision that cost us.
Also I didn't see Capoue get any sort of knock, I may be wrong, so if he didn't get a knock he must have been carrying an injury so to make a substitution so early on was madness.
I'm still boiling at yesterday's debacle and we took 10 massive steps backward..
How many shots on goal that the GK had to save did we have yesterday? Shocking.
Ah fair enough, thanks for that.. I dint see anything but that proves he did get a knock..
That kind of makes me feel better as I couldn't work out the logic behind it..

That's because our creative players were kept away from the action.
Fxd.
