We might be seeing Rodgers' true colours now Saurez has left, it looks like he is heading down the same path as AVB. Tough road ahead as well with 4 games in the next 2 weeks.Premier League 2014/15
It wouldn't surprise me if they lost their next 3 games. Middlesborough are a very tough Championship team, Basel always seem to turn it on against the English teams, and Everton look stronger in every department. I wonder if things will change when Sturridge returns...
I know - at one point during the game, you could have backed them at 250!
We have a world class strike force and midfield, but we are woeful in defense. The only top class defender we have - Luke Shaw - was on the bench throughout the game!
I hope that, at Christmas, VG gets rid of Evans, Smalling, Rafael and Blackett, and brings in some defenders who are capable of staying alert and organised for a full 90 minutes.

Last week, I really thought we had reached a turning point.
When we went 1-3 up today, it seemed like we were carrying on where we left off last week - business as usual. However, for us to concede five goals against Leicester tells me that there is something SERIOUSLY wrong with our defense. When we were 1-3 up, we could and should have just killed off the game.

We knew Leicester were a good team, they've drawn to Everton and Arsenal, beaten Stoke away and gave Chelsea a good game away. To be honest, that penalty shouldn't have been given but it changed the whole dynamic and momentum of the game. On a different topic, I took Nugent out of my fantasy league because he's been playing like pig shite, then he scores 
Rojo looks very weak as a LB, can't wait till Shaw comes back. Blackett and Evans out now, so it looks like we are stuck with Smalling, or we move Blind to CB which I think sounds 1,000,000x better. I think we may just have to do a Liverpool and outscore our opponents 
I have faith in VG though - and I suspect most United fans do too.
I sensed that Moyes was clueless - and from Ferdinand's recent comments, so did the players. I sense that Van Gaal is turning things around. He just need to sort out the defense - either by getting the defenders to do their jobs properly, or replacing them with players who will.
