I reiterate what I've said all along, LVG is not the man for United. Ok he has reportedly backed down over a few things with the team but he has never felt to me like someone who feels the need to back down. I always said the main problem with Moyes was although he seemed a genuinely nice guy he always came across as being too timid - a United manager needs to have arrogance and swagger but in my opinion LVG is TOO arrogant. He has to be the boss of course but doesn't seem to accept United have done things a certain way for a LONG time and given how he says he'll retire in a few years he seems to be determined to change United far too much from the SAF era.
So I'm not too impressed with LVG.
But for 1 day who the hell cares
Not a classic by any means, the first half was awful and for an OT game United almost seemed scared. I'm not yet convinced this side will gel properly and dear Lord do we need another established striker.....however you can't argue with the result, beating the scousers any day is always going to be good for football
Liverpool's goal was pretty good but Martial's was better - all that pressure on a teenager but he took on the Scouse defence single handedly. Early days but I'm already feeling slightly better about his over-inflated price tag
I'm just hoping he doesn't turn out like Donkey Diego Forlan and Donkey Dimitar - couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo the rest of the time but banged them in for fun against Liverpool.
