“I’m a coach who is always thinking about creative players but in England you also need physical bodies in your team and Fellaini is one of these.” – Van Gaal
Louis Van Gaal has assembled the most attacking rich squad in the Premier League this season.

If Rangers had any game management skills they would have walked away with at least one point.
The league is beginning to fall into its pattern. There are still some clubs that are probably higher than they will end up and visa-versa. The next few weeks will really put sides into the relevant league quadrant where they will compete for the rest of the season (Top 4, Europa League Chasers, Mid-Table and Relegation). This weekend, the below three clubs need a win to ensure they don’t slide into a position that might be hard to battle back from.
Everton (Home) vs Aston Villa
Sometimes it feels like we should just break up. Sure, there are times when things seem to be working out. You could even argue that there are times when we are really enjoying ourselves.
