he seems to think that Van Gaals "philosophy" is different to Mourinho's when its more or less the same -safety first! defend and defend then try to counter. the only minor difference is Mourinho punts the ball forward where as Van Gaal moves the ball up slowly. S-L-O-W-L-Y

I said at the time when Moureen was appointed there wasn't going to be much of a change in style from last year, except a hell of a lot more money spent lol.

 

£55 return

 

You can throw Moyes into that mix too. Said that before Man Utd sign Jose too!

 

Moyes didn't spend the £150m - £250m that Mourinho and Van Gaal did

And the players he did buy are still at the club and getting games #moyesboys

Where's #bbcsalford to calculate the points won by each manager as a percentage of revenue?

 

Ermmmmm like felliani who was 29m8l or so etching and not worth 10 as a donkey target man.... and mata the bench warming slow arse they paid nearly 40 mil for?

Fact is in the 4th season since ferguson De Gea is still the best player, smalling is still there, carrick is still there and rooney of course...

 

True but not sure what any of that as to do with managerial style...

 

Garth Crooks' team of the week: Gomes, Matip, Henderson, De Bruyne,

 

For once can't actually argue with that for what I saw.

 

Sterling did nothing but add the nth goal in an easy win

 

Set up iheanacho's goal and looked dangerous running with the ball. Played well in my opinion, even though he nearly missed the easiest tap in you'll ever see

 

Iheanacho could finish from a Mignolet goal kick on his current form

 

Got an 8.5 just behind De Bruyne in the City fans post match ratings

He played well.

#bitter

 

Lovern was the man of the match for some pundits. His name is not there.

 

I bet Lukaku got a high score for his meaningless goal against Middlesbrough too

 

He got a 7 for a goal and a decent performance.

And?

 

#overrated

 

I thought Sterling played well enough. I'm not sure if I'd have put him in a team of the week, but I didn't watch all of the other games to see who might better qualify in that position.
Of course, neither did Garth.

 

4 goals in 4 games

 

Lallana for a start, but Garth only looks at scorers

 

Lala's already in there. It's only ever pure coincidence if Garth puts them in the position they actually played in.
