Really disappointed yesterday, no desire from the team and then even less from Van Gaal in his interview after the game. Saying you might walk away from the job...that's the fighting spirit a club needs from their manager! No wonder the players show no fight if that's what the manager is saying

He is cracking under the pressure a bit. It's a shame because I don't think he deserves the treatment he is getting from them. Football journalists act is if they're courageous truth-seekers nailing corrupt politicians and they often seem to treat managers with utter contempt. LVG was right he deserved an apology for the way all the papers treated the sacking as a foregone conclusion and the petty way they responded to it, i.e the Sun's back page saying they're not sorry, was disgraceful imo.
Still he has to handle it better than that.
The whole over the top nature of the game now is depressing. Arsenal were awful yesterday as well but the reaction to the result is ridiculous. Arsenal are now pathetic bottlers, managed by an incompetent fraud, who are out of the title race. You can't lose football games anymore without it being a crisis where serious questions need to be asked. No wonder LVG is under pressure.
Teams lose games, they lose form. You can't have a team winning without someone else losing. We have to get better at accepting these basic facts.
