    How do you think its went so far ?

    We've done well to be where we are in the premier league, we're so much better attacking wise this season, we'll score goals, at the back, we're conceding goals, that's mainly due to injuries and inexperience, if we can get another defender and midfielder in january, then i can see us finishing in the top 4.

    Matth, we are a month in, not three months.
    Stop with this conceding goals lark, you sound like an abu. We had one bad performance where we let in five goals, if you take that one game out of the picture we have the joint best defence in the Premier league with Southampton. We collapsed under Fergie more than once but still had a good defence.

    That 6-1 game springs to mind.

    The fact he has the backing of the vast majority of United fans is in itself a measure of the atmosphere around the club, and a fcking marked difference from last season. In fact I don't know any United fans who don't feel excited by him as manager and the football we are playing.

    IMO...

    the pro's are that we will play exciting, attacking football, pleasing on the eye, sometimes kamakazee I accept that, and we will win games, climb the table and genuinely as fans look forward to our games. I am confident he will get us challenging again at the top of the table soon enough.

    the con's are that once we get to around the top, will he have enough as a manager to take us the extra yard in crucial matches that will decide where the titles go. The business end of the season is as much about mentality and professional displays as it is about the quality of the football.

    Overall so far, very pleased and genuinely excited by LVG at United.

    He is talking about since LVG took over not the start of the Prem which even is 2 months, not sure where you are getting a month from.

    Great start. Background work is obvious and his plans are pretty clear. Looking forward to every game and have enjoyee our last 4 games immensely. That includes the leicester game.

    Didnt enjoy any game last season.

    It is all about hope. But the jury is still out. The next few matches against the big boys will tell us whether LVG is very different from Moyes.

    It will be more about the performance than the results imo. I wouldn't be too disheartened if we lost but played well, at this stage.
