Level, I'll take that.

Alexis looks crowded out wide right, and he's doing too much by himself.

Koscielny's been quite rash as well this match, nice header though.

The only thing I've learnt today is that Leicester aren't going to be whipping boys.

Which means what I've been saying for the last two months was stupid.

NEVER IN DOUBT

Also, lol @ United. Pretty poor from van Gaal given that he invented tactics.

Hope for his sake its not a sign of things to come for the start of his tenure, if the press start getting on his back he'll throw his toys out of the pram like he did at Barca the first time round.

Christ - one game. We've played one game. We were awful, but the reactions are ridiculous.

No different to the overreaction of people believing Utd would somehow be immediate title challengers.

That's insane.

To suggest United will be title challengers is obviously incredibly optimistic. But to suggest its over, and even top four is unlikely, after a single game is bizarre.

I don't just mean people on here, but the general reaction.

Making predictions either way at this point is stupid really. People will change their minds a thousand times before Christmas.

Well they are atm but if things go as badly at the start for him as they did for Moyes then that wouldn't last long i wouldn't have thought

In all fairness, i've not said anything about any of the games today either

But there has been a fair few on people on here (in their predictions) and elsewhere that are failing to see just how poor Utd are now. Even to make the top four would mean either ourselves or Liverpool would have to drop out and i really don't think Utd are as good as either of us yet. Iirc they were 15pts behind us last season, thats just fourth place and seeing as we really have strengthened for once i really cannot see them making up that difference with the squad they have no matter who the manager is.

I think most people who think we are going to win the league do so on the basis were going to sign more players. Also, I can't think of any United fan that actually thought it.

It's one of those losses today that I'm not sure will actually end up being a bad thing. We know the squad needs work, we know the players in some cases aren't good enough (Fletcher, Hernandez, Nani and Fellaini from today), and we know the transition to an effective system from Moyes dreadful tenure and even the last few years of Fergies reign when it was turgid but effective. Today just hammered home the point.

It's more that the over hype of Van Gaal has been massive. It's hard not to enjoy it a bit. Especially when for the last 10minutes kicking to Fellaini and hopeless crosses seemed to be the tactic.

And that most Non-ManUtd fans feel that Moyes was scapegoated too much.

My prediction was 4th, but as Ninja said that was based on the provision that we actually bought the players we needed.Yesterday we were okay on the ball in quite a few patches, the defence was just a shambles though which considering it was made up of Smalling, Jones and Blackett aided by Young, Lingard/Januzaj then that was obvious before the game. Add to that we had 9 out injured, at least 4 of which would've been in the team i'm not too surprised by the result.

Thankfully this has just highlighted even more how much the squad needed revamping. If we get the right players in then top 4 is a perfectly reasonable target, but if Woodward continues to arse around and do nothing like he did last year then it will definitely be a bit of a struggle

Eh? Moyes had the backing of the fans up until around March time. He wouldn't have gotten that anywhere else in the world.

I didn't think Man Utd at present were a top 4 side and have felt before the campaign that the best they can hope for this year is 5th. LvG maybe a good manager but the suffocatingly extensive hype shadows the fact the team is full of complete cack.

Such an opening day result certainly helps puncture the hype. But then they always needed 3/4 new players at least, especially in defence.

Well at least we beat the spammers this time. Shocking decision to sent Naughton off though.

Sterling really is top quality. Don't know what I want more, United out the top four again for it's sheer hilarity or Liverpool not in it again and the probability of Sterling forcing a move.

Moyes ruining United was one of the best things to happen last season, I don't mind a repeat with van Gaal.

We were pretty shit, but I'll take that.

Henderson's ball, especially since it was with his left, was delightful. Lovren looked very assured as well. Lucas was shite. That knee injury has ruined him.
