Xmas match day chat!
anyone just listen to the press conference??? Oh dear LVG![]()
He looks on the verge of tears at points.
It's a bit insulting the way the media have been writing about him as if he's already gone. That's not just about "the media game". It's one thing writing about how a manager really needs to change things around and soon, and writing about how he has failed and how he's already practically sacked. I totally understand that Van Gaal - or any manager in a similar position - doesn't want on one hand to read all that negative and mocking stuff that the press writes and on the other hand then just treat them nice and answer their questions nicely. He fired a shot or two back at the press and good on him for doing that, imo.Any high profile manager taking a high profile job on these shores should know that they will have to play the media game throughout their tenure for better or worse.
So he benches Rooney finally when his job is on the line, as well as starting Herrera.
Possibly going back to the same formation which got him success last season?Yet persists with Fellaini - there is still some madness in the method.
