Stop with this team of kids patter man. Over half the starting eleven had Champions League experience last night.

I agree that it's far too early to assume he'll end up being sacked but last night has chucked a massive amount of pressure on owld flat face now.

This. He reminded me of Sven Gormless a little last night,got a kind of glazed look on his face,like he wasn't really with it.:lol:
 
Still struggling and looking like he (Van Gaal) will be under some serious pressure if their current form continues.
 
I think he'll go, but he could well be saved when they play us at home and get the sort of result that will set them up for a nice long run. It's just what happens when struggling teams play us. Now! Who was that centre forward at Leicester who couldn't score for toffee and got a hatrick against us (Adebola) was it? It just happens to us.

Aye, its possible to make a real informed judgement after 2 games

He's essentially one of the best managers of the modern era. He gets fired because he's an arrogant prick who falls out with all and sundry but there's few better managers in the game today.

How's he a great manager for the modern era then?

they have a lethal attack force, if they get the defence sorted they'll be unstoppable.

Van Gaal is making good progress.

This may well be right.

Akinbiyi.

Pretty much an open secret that Giggs will be Van Gaal's successor.

Collymore got a hat-trick on his Leicester debut against us. Are you not thinking of Akinbiyi (who was a national joke at that time) scoring the only goal in a game against us a couple of years later?

Think that's the reason he was appointed as Van Gaal's assistant, there were a few reports at the time of the appointment that the plan is for Giggs to become manager at the end of Van Gaal's 3-year contract.

If that is true, it seems as though Ferguson still has far too much influence in goings-on there.
