Lvg does not seem to like to change the plan he has been working on all week, he is all about the structure and his belief in it. Plenty of times Fergie would have ripped up his plans after 5 mins and adapted if he did not like what he was seeing, that is in tune with his more freewheeling approach.
15 mins of going long to Martial against Metersacker to draw the sting from Arsenal, knowing they like to start fast and tend to be nervous if it does not succeed, not how he perhaps wants the team to play when he is all about establishing control but sometimes neccessary.

I actually thought that Di Maria would be the better signing
The difference in attitude is embarrassing, Sanchez has such a work ethic, no fear of the physical side of the PL.
Depay could do with looking at Sanchez.
