Liverpool 1:3 Manchester United: International Cup Final thread.

The best part about LVG is the convenient excuses he seems to love to come up with. I'm sure he'll still be blaming "commercial activities", "jet lag", and "travel expectations" by the end of the season when the scum fail to break into the top 6 again if he hasn't come up with any new material by then.

As if no other teams in the league have to do the same exact preparations. Seems very good at managing expectations and alluding to scapegoats already.

Let's just f*ck them up, not bothered that it's just preseason.

He's an excuse merchant mate, same as Mourinho is. As you point out, he's trying to make out as if everything is stacked against his favour to either mitigate failure or make any success look to have been a miracle work.

LVG whole-heartedly believes that any and all success is the result of his brilliance.  He has a massive head and as soon as he lets slip that losing was "not his fault" the players will lose all respect.  LVG will be back tending to his tulip fields by January. Starting with a lashing tonight.

Tonight we spank the manc's and put them back where they belong, a mid table side with no class. Come on you Red Men.

Confidence breads confidence.

Aye, we gotta use our loaf.

Just F***ing tw*t this lot, I can't stand them more than ever and the season hasn't even begun yet.

Van Gaal behaving like he's Gods gift who is the first to play 3 at the back. Just F***ing tw*t them!!

Don't beat them f***in destroy them

Time is dragging in the build up to this! Just want to get on and smash these like we did last season!! Having beaten Citeh, Milan and the Mancs will be great for self belief going into the new season!

Rape and pillage!

Time is dragging.... gonna be wrecked at work tomorrow staying up to watch this.... better smash them to make it worth the three to four hour sleep I'll get
