Just watched the United rout on MOTD2. Bet Koeman is loving this...as he really hates Van Gaal.

Van Gaal criticising his team for chasing goals, but isn't it his job to coach them in how to play when leading?
Should have been a foul to United before the 1st penalty, so shouldn't have been 3-2, but United then went on to let in another 3 goals. They have little to complain about. If this was a one off game, okay, but there is a pattern here. Need organisation and should have spent more on defence during the window. Most people knew that before the season started...shame Van Gaal didn't.
Is he still going for 3 at the back, with two of those three being Smalling and Evans?
If yes, then he's clearly clueless!
Yep. Their defense is a shambles. Partly due to the players, but also I think partly because of Van Gaal's coaching but he is not the type of manager to change. They will score plenty of goals though. If they stay calm and work with what they have and settle on 6th or 7th as a goal they can probably do it. But they seem to be headed towards #meltdown so all bets are off.
He looks poor. But so does their whole defensive unit. Their best defender is Rooney!!!
from the spurs side;
Whichever way you look at it, and I of all people am not inclined to agree with Boss, he does have a point. Add to that a complete condemnation from Spurcat and you really have to take notice. I am already fed up with the 'tippy tappy' stuff and I have yet to see Poch make a decisive intervention into a match (I have not seen them all, so please correct me if I am wrong). I am already of the mind set that requires Poch to do something quite dramatic to pull me back to his side and I am not in the mood to 'give him more time' folowing AVB and Sherwood. Sherwood may have been naive but at least he was trying to move in the direction of free flowing football. I really don't want to see this pass pass pass onwards and sideways stuff any more. I follow football because it is the most exciting ball game on the planet, if you are going to reduce that to foot basketball then count me out, I'll take up stamp collecting or something equally exciting. WBA look a lot more entertaining to me than Spurs at the moment.
Where's plan B?

Pretty irritating article by Martin Samuel in the mail. Won't link it. He doesn't deserve the clicks. Essentially: Saints are lucky they aren't getting relegated this year but we will be... eventually.
