It's also the last game before Van Gaal's deadline of "judge me after three months"

Best case scenario for him: only 7 points behind Moyes

Attack and midfield look very good. Defence still a concern of course.

In 3 months hes certainly stamped his mark. Our football is better than anything weve played in years and everytime we go forward we look like scoring. all progress. Big games coming up too so a test of how far we have come.

5 or 6 points from the next 3 would be fine. Any more is a bonus.

Exactly which part of Man Utd's game is his mark?

Anyone can spend £150m on strikers (and LBs) and have a few goals in the team <ok>
 
I'd like to say that's what happened today but it didn't. Football can be bloody cruel sometimes.

Still, fair play lads. Best of luck during the week in the CL. I'll be rooting for yis!

Thankyou <ok>

Good luck V Chelsea after you've played Villa, you seem to cause them problems when you're in the mood
 
Its true mate. You've got to put the ball in the old onion sack!

On a side note, I thought Balotelli's whole demeanor looked off today. Walking around, shrugging his shoulders and looking like he'd rather be anywhere else. He's not fit to lace up Suarez' boots. You boys still well in with a shout of having a very good season. I'm just not sure Balotelli will be a positive part of that. <ok>

It's not looking promising for him. The open goal is just one of those things.. it can happen to anyone but unfortunately happened to the 1 player that it needed not to! 99 times out of a 100 he puts that in but it was one of those days. He's getting a lot of stick and most of it rightly deserved but he's not a replacement for Suarez so it's unfair to compare them.

Me personally, I'm waiting for him to be paired up with Sturridge again for a few games before we pass total judgement. They looked good against Spurs (was only 1 game I know) but he obviously needs someone playing up top with him, and someone that is more energetic than him. Sturridge is that person <ok>
 
Go look how the points system works<cheers>

Last time I looked 13 points was more than 11 points <whistle>

Oh, wait it's unfair as you've played less games. Ok, let's say points per game.

Liverpool - 13 / 8 = 1.6 points per game.
United - 11 / 7 - 1.5 points per game.

Erm... :huh:
 
So your silence on Van Gaal is an admission he has no style and is just a chequebook manager?

Yes hes a chequebook manager. His 25 year history in the game shows exactly this.

Youve surpassed yourself yet again with you incredible knowledge lucass.

But they've got big games against the top 4 out of the way (West Ham & Southampton)

Points in the bag matter more as far as im concerned.

Come on just a few words about Van Gaal's style? Anyone?
