TERRACE TALK: Manchester United - How much longer can Louis van Gaal panto possibly run?

Last week, after pointing out that our victory at Anfield shouldn’t deflect attention from the continuing awfulness of our performances, I concluded: “all we have done is given LVG a free pass for another couple of weeks, without settling any of the bigger questions.”

It turns out I was being uncharacteristically over-generous.

The free pass lasted all of a single week, and we are now back where we were, at the status quo ante: with most of us howling for blood.
