    Yes. The squad falls on him. The constant poor efforts at goal on the players, though van Gaal made it more difficult leavibgvus short (might not have had much say and United don't stop players leaving, Ronaldo aside) but it wasn't a good plan.

    January will indicate put intentions. Do we want to win the title? If so then we need to buy. Still aiming for Mane or Mahrez who will give us pace and a goal threat.

    Both would be interesting signings.

    Though UIR to play devils advocate.. Moyes was in your opinion responsible for the **** on display... Not the players.. Championship winning players. Yet a far improved squad playing worse isn't van draws fault at all.. In anyway. It's the players.

    Moyes dithering was the issue for me above all else. I am guessing the sane applied to the players. It looked like that anyway.

    On top of that he turned us into cannon fodder overnight. Our rivals laughed at us (they don't now, look how they set up, Arsenal aside) and Moyes played into it.

    Though in hindsight it clearly was the players too and thankfully most have gone. Moyes couldn't do that either, which ultimately cost him his job with several hundred other failings.

    When van Gaal loses the players, he will have to go.

    I think he already has.. Other than perhaps smelling who has shone.

    All our attacking players are playing gash under the tactics and regimen he applies to the team. I personally can't stand him. He reminds me of Harry redknapp the sloppy faced ****. In fact I'd rather Harry. At least we'd win football matches.

    Went to Swansea v Leicester so witnessed him at work.

    A very, very good player. A couple of brilliant finishes, second and third goals, and loads of pace. Mane looks good too mind.

    Leicester themselves were excellent. Played on the break with pace and power, really good to watch.


    Having now seen him play about half a dozen times I can say comfortably that Befetembi Gomis is the worst centre forward I have ever seen in my entire life and that really is saying something.

    It doesn't take a lot to put the ball on target. I don't care what tactics we play, it is the striker's and outfield players responsibility to hit the target at least five times in a match.

    When we play well and win 3-0, it is always down to the players for being imaginative. But when we fail to hit the target, the manager gets the blame. They both need to share the glory and the blames. EQUALLY!!!

    Schweinsteiger banned for 3 games lol.

    Even though Diego Costa's done worse far more often and never been charged for it.

    Have you ever considered relying on your team actually playing better football than others on the pitch, in order to succeed?

    I read the way you go on about decisions against your club and your rivals and you come across as one of these ppl that is desperate for any decision or misfortune to help you. You really fail to understand what sport is actually about. I doubt you'll even understand what I'm saying here.

    Nope. Something about it being more sporting for Schweinsteiger to get away with breaking the rules.

    Very strange thinking fella. All teams have players that break the rules (including yours) and they will usually get punished for it and rightly so. But unlike you, some of us couldnt care less, I'm certainly not as desperate as you to rely on that. The sport is about the football on the pitch. Call me old fashioned.

    Or maybe after 25 years like you I may feel that way who knows?

    So what was the point of your #meltdown because Schweinsteiger was correctly punished and I posted " #justice "?
