elampiro's stand on the issue is retardëd...
if we map out moyes' injury list here from the day he was appointed(may 9 2013) to the 4th of december(2013), he had more injuries on his record than van gaal. moyes had close to 50 injuries!

so anything else? yet elampiro was lying through his teeth that moyes only had 18 injuries in his first 14 league games - some people have no dignity - lying is their profession.


numbers don't lie - failure has one colour & that colour is david moyes!
So Gaal no longer have more injuries compared to Moyes? grin I thought the initial defence of Gaal was that he had more injuries than Moyes.

When did I say Moyes had 18 injuries at Man United? I said he had 18 injuries per 14 matches at Everton before joining Man United. Therefore the injury this season can never be blamed on Moyes. This has been my stand. We all know the history of injuries in Manchester United. If Moyes was blamed for injuries under his reign, Gaal should be blamed for injuries under his reign. SAF for his own under his reign. Period!

Lastly, have you noticed some of the players who trained under Moyes who left for other clubs have stayed fit?

Welbeck injured under Gaal but has stayed fit since joining Arsenal.
Cleverley has been fit
Nani has been fit.
Chicharito has been fit.
Vidic has been fit
Evra has been fit
Ferdinand has been fit
Kagawa has been fit.
Butnner has been fit.
Fabio has been fit.


All these players trained under Moyes. Only the ones who remained have been injured. I don't know any player who has not been injured under Gaal, but all the players who left have managed to stay fit to the best of my knowledge.

fit jones?
that's good news - valencia can then go back to the middle-3 like he did few weeks ago & gave us thrust in that part of the pitch.

jones--smalling--rojo--young unit looks very secure.
I think Valencia will drop to the bench. he's done commendably but Rafael is also fit again, so it will just be a matter of time. Rojo as well may be pulled wide for Jones & Smalling depending on Shaw's availability. I fully expect LvG to give Jones some prefentials when fully fit because he was our best CB before he injured himself.

this is not hating on any player (as @chrisley024 may put it cheesy when I suggested Carrick makes way when Blind returns) but just playing the very best in every position to ensure maximum output.

it is also great that replacements do just as well or even better when called upon, this keep every man chosen on his toes.

this is a ridiculous comparison.
LVG wouldn't have had 41 injuries last season if he had inherited the defending champions. moyes took over a very good side that stood neck & neck with the almighty madrid & lost narrowly to nani's red card. your analogy should be where would moyes have finished if he had to deal with 41 different injuries in his first 3 months of last season?



oh please....
no 2 league seasons are the same. if someone else had taken over liverpool after their impressive showing last season, you would be arguing that new manager is wack. the same manager that took them 2nd last season is misfiring now.

look at wenger too - from winning 2 titles in 3 seasons to giving arsënal their worst start in 50 years this season. if someone else had taken over from him last season, he would have been the scapegoat. if the same manager can produce 2 polarising performances, why then did you prematurely blame LVG from the woes he inherited from moyes?



what has this gotta do with anything?



if moyes had this injury woe last season, we woulda relegated. if moyes had inherited a team that finished 7th, with no european competition, we woulda relegated. moyes inherited the league champions. you keep forgetting the psychological bit. how did league champions crash all the way to 7th position? how??

you are talking nonsense.....
the 41-injury statistics of van gaal dated back to the day he was appointed. as at then, van gaal was with the dutch team & prepping them for brazil. how in the name of zeus can he be held responsible for the injuries when he hadn't even met united players?

When did I say Moyes had 18 injuries at Man United? I said he had 18 injuries per 14 matches at Everton before joining Man United. Therefore the injury this season can never be blamed on Moyes. This has been my stand.

united players ain't everton players. why not compare van gaal's injury stats for the oranje team to moyes' everton?

We all know the history of injuries in Manchester United. If Moyes was blamed for injuries under his reign, Gaal should be blamed for injuries under his reign. SAF for his own under his reign. Period!
you are starting to misyarn again?
who sacked the medical team that was managing our injuries to the barest minimum? was it SAF or van gaal?

Lastly, have you noticed some of the players who trained under Moyes who left for other clubs have stayed fit?
that is irrelevant.....
the clubs they joined do not play with the same intensity as man utd.

Welbeck injured under Gaal but has stayed fit since joining Arsenal.
Cleverley has been fit
Nani has been fit.
Chicharito has been fit.
Vidic has been fit
Evra has been fit
Ferdinand has been fit
Kagawa has been fit.

all these players have been injured at one point or the other since they left united. stop lying to make points.

All these players trained under Moyes. Only the ones who remained have been injured. I don't know any player who has not been injured under Gaal, but all the players who left have managed to stay fit to the best of my knowledge.
similarly, there's no player of ours last season that didn't spend at least one week on the sick bench when moyes was here. it was moyes who sacked the medical team SAF described as the best in the world with a wealth of experience.

if you still cannot see that moyes should be held responsible for the injury curse then buy IQ booster pills cos it means you are not smarter than a nanny-goat!

elampiro:
Coogar is Contradiction. cheesy
your lack of comprehension skills is the reason you are seeing contradiction.

moyes' first 3 months is may-july. he had not racked up a high number of injuries as at july cos the season hadn't started in july.

van gaal's first 3 months is july to october. even though gaal was appointed in may, he did not oversee any team training until united went to the preseason.

i wonder how you manage to complete your day-to-day task with this your low level IQ. can you not read english very well or you are just pretending to be stüpid so we can keep going round in circles?

how many games do everton play in a season? how many games is a must-win for everton under moyes? no wonder the failure couldn't win a single game in the grounds of the traditional top 4 sides for 12 seasons.

while united are expected to go blood & thunder and secure wins in every game, moyes takes it easy & only worries about his home form. how then can you compare match intensity of a failure to the intensity faced by perpetual champions?

moyes was copping 53 injuries per year @ everton. i posted the stats last night - moyes works his players to exhaustion & injuries. his ex-players at everton said that last season that moyes' training methods are pre-historic

any way, Man United players have always been prone to injury.
that changed after united refurbished their medical centre. we had a near-perfect bill of health in 2012/13. we became champions, SAF left. moyes came on board, sacked everyone & replaced with his crew of failure from everton & our injury crisis resurfaced!

SailorXY:
apparently injuries are part of this sport, but when you move against advice of a legend like Sir Alex - sacking the crew who knew the players better [{from coaching to medics (the injury argument)}, disbanding the favorite cheese or whatever the players enjoyed before your arrival, failing to secure any of your targets & players complaining of your gruesome training routine (another injury page)] - all in the space of 6 months?? then surely failure awaits.

now I can understand if you put up any sort of argument favoring Moyes as a rival fan (of course you want to see your rival down), but when an acclaimed fan does the same? then I can safely conclude (even if I no know anyone here personally) that failure lurks somewhere in their genes!
Sailor this is the very first time you're embracing objectivity and I'm impressed.

Not disputing the fact that Gaal is better. I saw Gaal's team in the wold cup. I saw the Ajax of '95 and '96. I know he is technical guru. But my argument is different. My argument is not about who is the better coach. I stated this many weeks ago.

The fist argument some weeks back was about too many injuries in the team. The new issue which called me into this, is when some guys wont allow us hear word every time we won. There was no need telling us about how Moyes would probably have lost to Stoke blablabla. This argument was further prolong when some recent crisis were blamed on Moyes.

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m):
Louis Van Gaal Manchester United Rule Slammed by Michael Owen, Raymond Verheijen
By Rob Blanchette , Featured Columnist Dec 3, 2014

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has been criticised by a Dutch fitness coach and a former Red Devils player—with Raymond Verheijen and Michael Owen both making their feelings known about the team's injury list.

Owen has been specifically critical of Van Gaal's conditioning of his squad, saying it has been a "really poor season" for LvG and directing the blame fully at the manager's door.

His comments came during an appearance on BT Sport as the panel discussed Van Gaal's season so far, with Owen adding United have "no say [in the title race]."

Colin Harvey of the Daily Star reported on Verheijen's comments to the BBC—where the fitness coach proclaimed Van Gaal's methods were the sole reason for his squad's pandemic injury crisis

I think this was predictable. It's not a coincidence. I think the strength of Louis van Gaal has also been shown to be his weakness.[b] I think this was avoidable. [/b]As an assistant I've seen with my own eyes that he has the ability, because he is a great tactical teacher, to improve a team and players within one session.

He is extremely intelligent, extremely knowledgeable, but also very intense. That's what you have heard Manchester United's players saying all the time this season. This intense style of training and coaching is his strength, but also his weakness in terms of injuries.

[...] You saw this pattern for the first time when he was coaching at Ajax. It happened at Barcelona, it happened at Bayern Munich and now it's happening at Manchester United. It's the same pattern.

Some may find both Owen's and Verheijen's comments strange considering United are up to fourth and playing their best football for well over a year.

Owen's comments are especially baffling. He cites Arsenal as a team who in the past "never suffered injuries," but the Gunners are themselves in the middle of a huge injury crisis now—under the same Arsene Wenger regime that Owen once played against.

Verheijen's statement is more insightful, joining the dots between the clubs LvG has coached.

United have now suffered a staggering 41 injuries since Van Gaal took over, per 101 Great Goals, with the players bursting to get out of the treatment centre at Carrington.

But despite the injuries, Van Gaal has managed to find a way to get the team in tactical shape, if not yet a physical one.

United beat Stoke on Tuesday night to record their fourth straight win in the Premier League, allowing them to sit in the Champions League positions going into the festive period.

United fans have taken to Van Gaal and his gregarious style, and there is a real feeling of unity behind his methods and philosophy. The manager has been on the charm offensive from day one, highlighted by Bleacher Report's Rob Dawson after United's last match:

After a season of heartbreak for the Red Devils following the exit of Sir Alex Ferguson, United fans are contented with their current state—with a lowering of expectations coming after David Moyes' failed tenure.

Taking United back to the top is very much a long-term project, and it was clear last year that a number of professionals needed to leave the club.

so why is it that the teams with the less number of injuries usually win league titles. why won't you say injuries are parts & parcel of the game when you have had nothing considerably ridiculous like united?

i want to see schurlle & willian as your fullbacks with cahill & mikel as centre-halves for 4 league games. let's see if you would still hold this hypocritical opinion of yours when you drop 8 points out of the 12 available.
Ill-luck knocks at the door bruh.

That United are facing injury woes wouldn't stop me from asserting that Injuries are part of the game.

Your ability to manage those woes defines how astute you're.

Simples!

this is a ridiculous comparison.
LVG wouldn't have had 41 injuries last season if he had inherited the defending champions. moyes took over a very good side that stood neck & neck with the almighty madrid & lost narrowly to nani's red card. your analogy should be where would moyes have finished if he had to deal with 41 different injuries in his first 3 months of last season?



oh please....
no 2 league seasons are the same. if someone else had taken over liverpool after their impressive showing last season, you would be arguing that new manager is wack. the same manager that took them 2nd last season is misfiring now.

look at wenger too - from winning 2 titles in 3 seasons to giving arsënal their worst start in 50 years this season. if someone else had taken over from him last season, he would have been the scapegoat. if the same manager can produce 2 polarising performances, why then did you prematurely blame LVG from the woes he inherited from moyes?



what has this gotta do with anything?



if moyes had this injury woe last season, we woulda relegated. if moyes had inherited a team that finished 7th, with no european competition, we woulda relegated. moyes inherited the league champions. you keep forgetting the psychological bit. how did league champions crash all the way to 7th position? how??
coogar:
i mentioned 41 in a different paragraph &
i mentioned the first 3 months in another paragraph entirely. they are 2 different statistics - only a fool would loop them together.
that was what you said.

after a while, you said you pro-rata it. that's the lamest excuse of a dullard. why pro-rata it? why not just count from may(appointed date) to december(present date)?
you lied to us moyes always had a fit squad at everton. you must have been watching everton from your half-filled calabash when moyes was still there. the stats have exposed your lies.
give up!
like i told you earlier, people with sübzero IQ like yourself cannot understand my comments so i ain't surprised it got you confused.
in another 5 years, you will understand it. grin
You are exposed again. Except may be you don't know the meaning of paragraph. Good bye. grin

i don't believe in luck.
it's just sheer incompetence on the part of moyes. letting experienced hands walk away from carrington against fergie's advice was the beginning of his end. moyes is an eternal failure.

phil jaglieka:
“Pre-season has been drastically different.
Normally you’re working a lot harder off the ball – you’re running around and running around and the balls rarely come out, whereas now we do a lot of running around with the ball.

“The manager’s very keen on you having a lot higher concentration levels which will obviously help us when we’re trying to keep the ball for the majority of the time.

“This is the way we’re going to play for the season and I’m sure once it settles down – we’re only two weeks in – the boys will love it and hopefully it can make us progress as a club.

“We’ll play differently. But it doesn’t mean we’ll always have to play from the back.

“I think the whole team will enjoy it, not just the back four,” he said.

“It’s a case of what options have the back-four got – or the back five or the back three if the manager decides to change it – when they’ve got the ball.

“There’s more emphasis not just on the first phase of getting the ball, but what happens when he gets it and then what happens when the next person gets it.

“It’s going to be very educational and probably hard to grasp overnight, but we’ve got quite a few weeks before the start of the season.

“The manager seems very happy with the way we’ve taken to things at the moment and hopefully when it comes to Norwich on August 17 we’ll be firing on all cylinders, playing some nice football but at the same time putting teams under some pressure and hopefully scoring some goals.”

you are a tool!
i meant....i mentioned 41 injuries in one paragraph and the relegation bit in another paragraph. that was the crux of the issue.
