Back to the drawing board for Van Gaal ,last week was a false dawn like so many last season.

Think you need to re-read my second point. Never once did I blame him for the goals after. As I have said fair play to leiscter. We went into meltdown and they played really well...amaturish by us and defending was comical.

But if he had have given the correct decision to give rafeal a free out none of the above would have happened. At 3-1 we looked comfortable

It's Rafael, Mick.

Rafael.

On you go.

game over at 3-1 ref gave them a present, however no excuse for the fall apart after that.

Some blinkered fan may have said it but I agree the 2nd one was a stonewall peno and a red.

I agreed with your second point.

Mine was more to do with the ref and his impact on the game, United fell apart

My other points were just my opinion

That was great. Really, really great.

Liverpool and Utd combined wouldn't be top and Chelsea would have a game in hand. :pac:

Clattenburg killed Utd as the 1st penalty was a joke of a decision for the foul on Rafael after that Leciester were excellent.

But that was a shoulder to shoulder, there was no foul on Rafael.
Refael was silly

I just hope Leicester get the credit they deserve for that performance rather than the ref. Bad decisions will be made but end of the day there's 4 other goals that could be avoided.

Blackett off, Evans injured, should be throwing all the money at Hummels in January

A tip for Man Utd fans...in future,before laughing at others misfortune you might want to make sure your own team isn't laughably rubbish in the first place.

Adamocovic

Shocking result for United but saying that still within range of Everton, Liverpool, Spurs and Man City (ATM). Long way to go until the season is over and I wouldnt read too much into the last 35 minutes where United imploded as a sign of things to come. They just panicked can happen to any team.

For Leicester a great result and they need to keep this momentum up, only one defeat and have played United, Everton, Arsenal and Chelsea already, good start to avoid relegation.

No doubt it was a foul by Blackett. Martin Keown think he was fouled before that which I agree with.

I went a bit mad on friday and made Jonny Evans my captain in FF "oh they'll keep a clean sheet they will". I am officially an idiot

Cantona's Collars

Rooney seemed too busy playing Captain in the 2nd half & completely forgot he was meant to be our number 10,had zero influence on the game.RVP was anonymous,should have been subbed instead of Falcao.

The gaping hole in the centre of our defence really needs sorting.Very little LVG can do when our 2 CB's go missing.

The fact united have literally spent more than any team in the world to buy their way back into the top 4 are leaking 5 goals to leicester is absolutely incredible.

It just shows money cant change everything around quickly . Incredible stuff

Rafael was born to be silly. Some of his decision making is really mind boggling.

Anyway, Leicester will take a lot of points at home they were well up for it. Even at 3-1.

I said the same when utd blame the ref for the peno, Rafael's fault.

This is like a messy reverse of the thread yesterday. I wish utd and Liverpool fans would stop acting the maggot on opposing match threads when the other is doing badly, but I might as well wish for the wind to stop blowing.

That doesn't mean that I didn't immensely enjoy the game today, much like utd fans probably enjoyed the games yesterday but it's still not getting us anywhere and going around in circles.

Can't we all just get along, etc, etc. Kum-bi-ya and all that.

Actually think that was the best thing that could have to United. It's a dose of their limitations and it happened so early in the season. They'll only grow and grow from here. Some very positive signs. Defensive positioning completely deserted them and that wasn't the back line that was the midfield line. Lack of a DM showed. But they can learn from that.

Horribly unlucky with the blatant foul on Rafael, but he was still incredibly stupid to charge Vardy's back. Blatant penalty. Referees often miss one tackle and penalise the next. They're human. The capitulation though was completely unexpected. Rooney lambasted his players and for the fourth goal he was the fastest United player on the field. Which when you think about it shouldn't be the case.

As an aside: Eamon Dunphy is probably feeling very smug around now.

United have bought superb attackers & midfielders,forgot about how the defenders are made from glass and forget how to defend.

First Leicester goal and the ball was out of play before the cross .

Bad decisions made.

Hilarious and fantastic result.

Not poor, but ill-advised. They didn't need to buy any forwards (Rooney, Welbeck, Hernandez and LVG in place), and they lost three experienced defenders in the summer (Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra). Yet LVG decides to go out and spend a ridiculous amount of money on forwards, leaving the likes of Jones, Smalling, Blackett and Evans as potential defenders. Bizarre.

Yeah to be fair, United and Liverpool fans do enjoy slagging each other but if we both look at the table things aren't looking too great.

For Leicester fans no doubt they will be delighted, if they can keep getting points from big teams until December they will have a real chance of avoiding the drop.

I see you are a utd fan. So therefore you are biased and you Believe utd were done by the ref...
Again it was shoulder to shoulder, Refael was not expecting it and fell over, still not a foul, a solid but fair shoulder...

Well it really comes down to personal perspectives, I was watching and chatting to Arsenal fans who even thought it was a free against Rafael.

End of the day its done, complaining won't change anything now.
