any one with half a brain who watched united under both managers would have seen difference.

StarBoard:
Im going to put it this way:
Compare United this and last year and tell me which you prefer.

StarBoard:
I have criticized LvG for choosing Rooney as captain and backing him for the same offence he did not spare Smalling in public.
But you cannot discount the near devastating effects the chronic injury crisis being borne at the moment.

StarBoard:
You and I know that for starters they disrupt any kind of momentum gained. All the players you've listed have hardly been together for any tangible period to make any meaningful effect.

Nihilist:
Una don scatter my mention for this thread sha.

Na so improvement improvement I just dey hear everywhere

Under Moyes;

P14 W6 D4 L4 22pts

Under Van Gaal

P14 W7 D4 L3 25pts

3pts difference. What a massive improvement. 150 million pounds worth of improvement

The funny thing is the same guys calling my name left, right, and center are the same ones I quoted bemoaning thier team's terrible play DESPITE the WIN.

So the FANS admit that the team isn't playing well even when they win.

The table shows out of the 1st 14 games, Van Gaal has only won one more game than Moyes and has the exact same number of draws.

So I really to God, cannot see this much vaunted improvement...especially as Van Gaal has a far superior team.

StarBoard:
injury concerns overplayed?
41 injuries since the beginning of the season cannot be.
Yesterday was the first game we didnt suffer any injury in a long time.

coogar:
after 14 games, moyes was 9th on the league table as defending champions & LVG is 4th with a squad ridden with injuries & self confidence.

1st to 9th - moyes
7th to 4th - LVG.

yet you cannot see the much vaunted improvement, really? how many times has the £150m asset been used together? stop screaming £150m when injuries have hindered the asset to perform.

your excuses are lame.

Dadehmola:
Blind, Rooney, di Maria, RVP and mata have all been available to LVG for a good number of our matches. Why then should the issue of momentum come in when we struggle in attack against teams like crystal palace and burnley?

Nihilist:
This is what Dahdemola was saying,you guys just keep blaming injury.

Put it this way, LVG points would have only seen Manyoo 6th last season, just as Moyes would also have been 6th this season with his points.

Na una dey find my mouth. You guys are benefiting from the flux all around you. Last year City, Liverpool, Chelsea and to an extent Arsenal were firing non stop.

This year Chelsea is almost unchallenged, with everyone else slipping and sliding.

It says a lot that the 25 points you're celeberating now in 4th place, wouldn't have even gotten you into the top 5 last year.

Anyhow sha, season still dey go. Make we dey look.

MrTA:
All draws tonight please

coogar:
especially arsenal/soton game...
a boring goalless draw would do me just fine. city should draw theirs too. i don't really care about chelsea's result.

Keky:
Still Welbeck 6 - 1 Falcow

Odunharry:
we will be going for a party 2nyt....Chelsea or Arsenal

Keky:
lmao

Odunharry:
keke u dn reach here??

coogar:
this is nicely poised now....

if we beat southampton, we go 3rd!
i hope rooney, jones, di maria & shaw can see the table and digest how important the game on monday is.

Keky:
yes oooooo

Dadehmola:
There isn't any basis for comparison - this season looks more promising, no doubt.

elampiro:
You are back to basics, the very issue that gave birth to that long argument. Injuries.

I remember vividly the argument was about the too many injuries in the team. While Moyes was blamed for the too many injuries, Gaal was not blamed. Instead the players are being blamed now.

StarBoard:
Did Moyes have to play Blackett and McNair or Blind and Carrick at CB?

Moyes didnt have his injury crisis half as bad as van Gaal.

elampiro:
I thought Moyes played a certain Kean? The same Kean McNair and Blacket took out of the team.

Moyes played Carrick at CB. You have forgotten? Blind at CB is not a minus. He's a world cup defender. His experience is enough to help him adjust in defence.

As for the injuries? Are you saying Gaal is running an ISIS camp? Lol . On a more serious note, at this time last season, Rooney, Vidic, Ferdinand, Rafael, Cleverley, Nani, Young, RVP, Fabio, Welbeck, Fletcher, were already injured missing lots of matches. May be Carrick sef.

Only DDG, Evra, Buttner and Januzaj managed to stay fit. Gaal may have had 41 injuries, but he always had quality to fall back on.

what are u arriving at I skul in france make me understand.

elampiro:
You guys are taking this Moyes (vs Gaal) too far. What I remember people complained about is the double standard it terms of criticism. Particularly as Gaal spent over £150m and was still struggling without UCL and Capital1 cup.

The argument wasn't abut who was better. Gaal's game is far better even though one can still argue he had more quality to fall back on during injuries.

Surrender your certificate. You need to attend proper education at Owo.

OK
