It's a bit of a shame that Fergie isn't still at the helm for this one ... him and Kloppy going at it would be awesome

you make a very good point sir

 

Can't post it but just YouTube "Dog Air ****ing"...... That's what Klopp would make Fergie do....

 

Nah, twud be unfair, much closer match with van Gaal in charge

 

#thegiantsurrenderflag

 

You're the first United fan I've met that thinks Van Gaal is better than Fergie.

 

You have misunderstood my gentle post, Klopp is in the Rodgers, Hodgeson, Moyes, van Gaal bracket (as has been proven with performances and results), to match him against a genius like Fergie would be very unfair (unless it was the Royal Fergie)

 

Van Gaal has used 33 players in the league this season.


And all of them are ****.


#vangaal4life

 

De Gea, Smalling and Blind haven't been ****.

 

#overrated

Even De Gea hasn't been anything special recently

 

I think De Gea as been a bit off form of late but there haven't been many better than Smalling imo

Blind is a bit hit and miss

None of them are **** though

 

For a midfielder playing CB he's done well... much like Lucas did well for a midfielder playing CB.

Ignoring he's a midfielder and just judging him on performances as a defender I think he's been average though.

Like I say, not really his fault as he's 5ft nothing and going to get bullied by CF's and he's not quick so going to get beaten in behind as well.

 

OK even if I'm generous about these 3 are we in agreement over the other 30 out of 33 players?

That's 3 teams Van Gaal has built this season, at a cost of £100m each, and none of them have challenged for the league.

 

No idea how this will go.

 

Let's get the the ****ing ****s dicked
