The Manchester United Thread

Steven Howard uses part of his column in The Sun to have a bizarre pop at Louis van Gaal under the headline 'Louis Is Passt It'. Okay...

'The more you hear about Louis van Gaal, the more you think that he's away with the fairies,' Howard begins.

'The passing drills, we are told, are incredible. Of course, because players at a club like Manchester United obviously don't know how to do it.'

Of course, Chief Grumpypants. Because one of the keys to maintaining a level of skill is never to practise. Well done.

'Then there are the double training sessions...11-a-side games or 45 minutes...and players sent home with DVDs. I'm not sure if he's so much training as boring his players to death.'

And there ends the dissection of Van Gaal's tenure. He's making the players train hard, so he's 'away with the fairies'. What insight.

I would love it if some reputed journo takes this **** article and rip in to pieces like we do in forums using multi quote options.

The Sun are full of **** like this day in day out (and so are the other tabloids - only thing is The Sun are the top selling paper in UK ffs!)
 
LVG-

I told players who will be Captain, you will see on Sunday.
Jones not fit, Fellaini not fit for 90mins. I have 8 injurys. 1 red card.
McNair played well last week is only fit RFoot CB, he shall play.
Mata will do well in the No10 role.
LVG happy with midweek friendlies if the opponents are good, I like playing midweek.
 
For first-team, mid-week friendlies are a big NO. Simply because it isn't worth risking the players in any way for a match that counts for nothing.
 
My prediction for Everton game-

De Gea
Rafa-McNair-Rojo-Shaw
Carrick
DiMaria-Blind
Mata
RVP-Falca

442 Diamond with Carrick as Captain. Di Maria on the right of the diamond, replacing Herrera. Blind playing were Di Maria usually plays on the left of the diamond. And Carrick doing Blinds role at the base. Score prediction 4-1 Falcao,RVPX2 and Di Maria with the goals. Mata and Di Maria with 2 assists a piece. Lukaku to get theres. MOTM Di Maria. :)
 
City look woeful. Hopefully Villa can hold on or knick it, then with a good win tomorrow we can go 3rd :)
 
Would rather Periera than the both of them :P defo confident of a win!

Nah Valencia for me, everton are a good attacking side as it is last thing we need is more teenagers in the 11. Typically lukaku will show up for the first time this season and bully the **** out of mcnair and rojo.
 
Win against the blue scousers and west brom will be massive as our rivals for 4th liverpool have **** easy fixs coming up.
