Louis van Gaal gets hints from the stands

Brilliant signs from the fans vs Derby


Fans who came up with a clever sign.

And it is actually spot on. There are constantly talks about van Gaal leaving Man Utd due to their results. And while he is not getting the results that is expected, he is playing it safe and defensively. 

While winning, would there have been complaints about boring football?
- Probably.

Would it have been as many critics?
- No, Not even close.

Do I believe that defensive football is bad football?
No, I can enjoy a defensive and tactic approach to the game. However, when not conceding. It would be nice to score a few goals to manage to get three points from the games though. And the statistics during the start of the season spoke about few attempts on goal.

But at the same time. Man Utd were close to the top of the table during the entire start of the season. Yes, it is because the rest of the top teams were failing to perform as well. But still. Cut him some slack. 

No matter what the result is at the end of the season. I read or heard somewhere that he signed for 3 years and that he had no intention of trying to build something long-term. He signed on for 3 years and that is the time he will spend in Manchester.

Would I have liked someone trying to build another dynasti?
- Of course. But at the present time maybe something stable and secure is the best. I mean van Gaal has been making miracles with the defense since he took over. 

Every single time the ball came down towards our defense I got nervous. It hurt inside, I liked Evans, Smalling, Blackett and McNair a lot. Guys who have been at the club for a long time or who came from the academy. I wanted them to succeed so badly but they kept making the wrong decisions in dangerous situations.

What did Louis say to Smalling?
- He is amazing now. I'd say give him the rank of captain when Rooney is not on the field.
