That Awful Slump is Making Van Gaal’s United Suddenly Seeing Red!



All of a sudden the magic run is gone and the Manchester United boys are struggling to get some much needed points if not wins!

The Red Devils are seeing a bit of a calamity in each match played lately, by just netting nine points out of eighteen in play and with a recent loss that catapulted the visiting Saints to third place.

Louis Van Gaal is one worried Boss as he saw a hardened squad in Southampton taking the three points last Sunday at Old Trafford.

It’s something a bit hard to explain, but since last campaign where Moyes took over, that became a common trait for the Red Devils to lose at home, after being dubbed as a tough squad to beat a home.

That loss really hurt the United chaps and made the Dutch skipper make a few changes in his upcoming compromise with a struggling QPR, making him a bit cautious of not taking any chances. 

As many say, there is no such thing than an easy foe; very well Manu needs to win in a convincing way as the way they defeated Newcastle United and Liverpool recently.

With his guns that all of a sudden turned silent in Angel Di Maria, Wayne Rooney and Robin Van Persie- these chaps need to  step up to the plate and start an all-around revolution once again.

Of course if they want to aspire for much bigger things as one of them the Barclay’s Premiership Shield that has been not only elusive as last campaign fracas but a bit hard now to overthrow the Chelsea Blues! 

If they continue to drop games like the one recently did against the Saints very well drawing in matches considered easy with the likes of Stoke City, Tottenham and Aston Villa.

For now the first step for Van Gaal and his boys is to play with a spirit and possessed feeling of winning it all and stop getting distracted about the winter market and the possible new arrivals at Trafford!
To create a lot of chances and being a dominating figure in every match, what if Bale and Strooman don’t come this campaign or what is left of it till May, the current group of individual’s is just what the Dutch skipper needs.

Those boys that are to prove why their Red Devils are for real and much better things are to come and not drop matches like the past weekend, which saw a clueless initial eleven dominating but without a compass.

This squad is made for bigger things and can withstand any of the so called big squads of Premiership as well put on a show, like the ones we were accustomed under Sir Alex Ferguson days.
At the end many should understand what Louis Van Gaal goals are and for his current work at Manchester United many will have to be patient for topmost results to be delivered, which takes time.

To put some order into a roster accustomed to win it all and all of a sudden they see all of that fallen, the task of Van Gall will be not an easy one as well to deliver results as an upcoming schedule with some modest and struggling clubs in the league.

That will be the opportunity the Dutchman needs to make some noise and get near the coveted top of Premiership and maybe throw out the Blues and Citizens out of first place.  

Patience is a virtue Red Devil followers, things can sure get back to its old ways, but with a little perseverance and persistence, Manchester United will be back into the spotlight, no worries seeing red is normal, is the club uniform.

Tony Pulis a Knight in Shining Armor for West Bromwich Albion





Hail to our new deliverer- is what the overall circle of Baggies faithful and players alike are seeing with certain enthusiasm the arrival of their new savior.

After a lack of direction and ambition in its game, the Albion chaps are on the brink of sending their squad to the abyss of the league table and maybe to the infamous Championship League.

Still there are a lot of matches to be played and maybe we can see a revival from the Baggies players and well awaken a certain ambition that can mean their salvation!

As the Hawthorns embrace for the arrival of one of the most hardened skippers in Premiership history and considered as an overall achiever so far with the squads he has managed.

Tony Pulis is known to be a deliverer and a man with serious determination of making his squads with little budgets, into overall contenders and spoiler’s not to be mess with.

Unfortunately under Alan Irvine, Albion never showed up any ambition and a winning craftsmanship and attitude- that at the end led this club into its current situation of near doom.

As many ask themselves what will the Welshman achieve at the end of the campaign with a club so limited in its budget and with a rising star on the brink of moving to another club?

What will Tony Pulis pull out of his hat of sleeve of tricks to save this Birmingham club from a catastrophe and prevent its descent at the end of the campaign?

Many questions still lure and besides a few doubters and pessimists abound, still for many at Albion and its die hard followers- they are to put aside those negatives thoughts and focus in the remainder matches of the campaign.
Very well place their entire trust in its new Skipper, that many has seen in him as a man that can risk anything as well make things happen under his mandate- that always shows his decisions at game time along a toughened stance regardless of its foes.

A Knight and shining armor is what is seen of this manager that really likes his challenges and overall goals that has built him a certain reputation as a giant killer and spoiler as you may recall last campaign ruin and end of Liverpool’s championship run. 

At the end one accurate move is what the directives at West Brom Albion did in netting the signature of Tony Pulis to take over this club destiny in what’s considered the second half of Premiership.

With the first match and debut of the baggies new compromise in the FA Cup third round with low tier Gateshead, this will be a sort of first test of fire and the beginning of new ear at the Hawthorns.


Happy and Prosperous New Year 2015!

Leadership and Direction a Must at St. James!



A mangy and miserable point, out of a goal fest filled afternoon in this Tyne Daly Park, which unfortunately saw a team in dire need of a leader.

If the Toon is in need of a man capable to turn things around at its helm, you are very right indeed, as of today’s match this club lacked a certain spark in the field.

And believe me, this isn’t a work of wizards, but of a man that needs a will of steel and resolve to make polish this club from a rough to a polish diamond.

After all with Alan Pardew, this club really worked well and with a contentious direction, their unfortunate side was the lack of consistency shown.

That was then and now is the focus to the make front to a challenging second half in what many are seeing again a much contested Premiership and with squads poised to reach to the top.

Still tenth position isn’t so bad with twenty seven points overall and a match pending with first place Chelsea Blues that already the Magpies defeated brilliantly early and stopped their winning streak cold.

Now is the chance for the Newcastle United chaps to create havoc as a visiting entity to Stamford Bridge, as a win over the Blues will be a sort of injection of optimism and their push to the top five positons as well assured a European one.

Will be a campaign well worth it, still I condemn the lack of interest and ambition by this club front office to lure the likes of the Welsh skipper Tony Pulis to Saint James Park.

This chap is one determined Boss and with the current roster and player support if needed, he could it turn the Geordies into a force not to mess with and take them to the promise lands if not positions.

With Tim Sherwood still available, the Magpies can get a winner and ambitious Skipper to prove he’s managerial material for any entity in EPL or any other league, this in part if someone upstairs at St. James makes up its mind.

Pitiful if the Geordies lose another potential candidate and start experimentation, when the remaining matches in league will really count and put this club potential into the abyss of relegation.  

Hopefully for Newcastle United owner Mike Ashley and its Chairman Lee Chernley can get serious about their club faith and its much needed leadership at its helm.

Newcastle United can turn things around in what’s the remainder of this campaign, but a much needed Boss is in need to turn things around at Saint James.
 
Wanted a man with leadership and conviction of making a club as traditional as the Toon an overall contender and potential winner that once again, delivers some much needed silverware to its halls!


Happy and Prosperous New Year 2015!
