Our manager as it turns out can speak all of them including English, which isn't perfect as it turns out so he may fall back on certain phrases and words he feels comfortable using.

The word "philosophy" is a broad term he's using to illustrate the way of playing he wants to get across at the club, which as it turns out is drastically different from anything we've done in the last 20 years.

ffs


tbf there wasn't a philosophy before LVG at United. During Ferguson's successful years we had to rely on just the usual teamwork, team spirit, tactics and formations using quality players

Don't even think it's a lack of English. He uses the term to describe his ideas and way of doing things, applied to all aspect of management.

And his way of doing things is something everyone has to get used to.

the combination of preconceived ideas, freedom of speech and pixels on a screen is a source of endless fun, a huge almost infinite reservoir of bewilderment to tap into

Well the record speaks for itself, tbh.

Tumescent has already referred to our new manager as an 'ugly @#%&!' and a 'pretentious @#%&!', whilst condescendingly mocking his grasp of English and patronizingly mimicking a number of his statements.

I had my suspicions when he first returned and they've certainly been confirmed, and I think it's clear as day what his opinions are. He's desperate for Van Gaal to fail, and it's eating him up inside to see him as manager.

Still unwilling to answer a simple question I see

Tottenham´s Pochettino came good last night - his first interview without an interpreter - very good presser debut - succinct, got it first time.

LvG? Why use a sentence when a paragraph will do? Waffle philosophy, more philosophy, ramble £#%&!ing ramble and more philosophy....

Isn't that a philosophy

cant believe we're actually criticising his communicative limitations in a second language. talk about scraping the £#%&!ing barrel!

part of the repetition is also due to his total disdain towards the press. how many times does he start an answer with something along the lines of 'as I have already said to you. ..'. He's not naturally comfortable being interviewed and doesn't like answering questions he feels he's answered or that he feels are unecessary.

but we knew this. and we embraced it. but now we've played three games and not won any of them we're suddenly picking holes.
