I'm not crazy about Van Gaal, but he is a quality manager.Not a huge fan of Van Gaal. What constitutes a successful season this year for United, top 4? Is that how far and how fast they have fallen? How did this happen so quickly?
He might break top 50, but not top 20.I wouldn't say top 10, but he's an excellent player who might be in the top 15, and most certainly in the top 20.
Balotelli is not a better player than Di Maria.He might break top 50, but not top 20.
He's not top 5 in Real, he would not be top 5 in Barcelona or Bayern, that is out of the top 15 with just 3 teams down.
You have Zlatan, Van Persie, Balotelli, Falcao, Toure, Agüero, Tevez, Silva (Thiago and David), Reus...
That's just off the top of my head and mostly offensive players.
That's why Ronaldo was so outspoken about them retaining him.Balotelli is not a better player than Di Maria.
And he while he may not be a top 5 talent at Madrid, he was most certainly one of their 3 best on the field players. Like I said, no other player on that team had better chemistry or created more opportunities for Ronaldo like he did.
It's a dumb move to move him.
Damn right.That's why Ronaldo was so outspoken about them retaining him.
Looks like you got your wish.Not a bad start to the weekend....come on Burnley.
It's not built to mesh in a 3-5-2, so Van Gaal might want to think about that as he plans out his lineup for the rest of the season. He had Di Maria in the middle this past weekend which is a huge mistake and a waste of his talent.United's defense is still bullshit, they have a bunch of attacking talent but it's hard to say how it will all mesh.
His only goal, you mean? What was so great about his penalty?Loved Ronaldo's first goal today.
I was talking about his goal against Liverpool in the CL. That's the finish I liked.His only goal, you mean? What was so great about his penalty?
As for the game, I just knew Pique was going to fuck up and I have no idea why on earth Luis Enrique would start him today against that team. He's been awful all season and as a result has barely played, and yet he starts him for this?
Barcelona were up 1-0, they had the crowd out of it, and were a lot closer to scoring their 2nd than Madrid were their 1st, and then the penalty happened - everything changed after that.
Didn't even look at the date.I was talking about his goal against Liverpool in the CL. That's the finish I liked.
