Play him in his favoured position in a team what actually knows what they're doing

I do like to wum about him being a flop but I actually think he's more for the future than for this season.

I'd like to see him behind the striker with eriksen left with the linking up and swapping positions etc

I just want a proper manager

Van gaal

What posters will be against him?

Wonder what chicken and chronic will think of him

I think its worth waiting till next season to give Lamela a proper kick about.

Integrate him into the team first.

Does anyone have any actual clue of Van Gaals credentials?

We can all read wikipedia, but does anyone know how he sets up a team, if he prefers youth, or out and out wingers etc?

Van Gaal has an impressive CV, played over 300 games as a professional.
Has managed Ajax, AZ, Barcelona (twice) Bayern Munich & now Holland (twice)...................

He has also won both the Uefa Cup & The Champions League with Ajax as well as getting Bayern to the CL Final losing to Mourinho's Inter Milan.

Yes he has had his share of confrontations, but these are in my opinion outweighed by his tactical nous & his ability to make good players better!

A little insight

People talk about the 'Van Gaal system'. How would you describe this?

It's a footballing philosophy more than a system. A system depends on the players you have. I played 4-3-3 with Ajax, 2-3-2-3 with Barcelona and I can play 4-4-2 with AZ. I'm flexible. The philosophy stays the same though.

How would you describe this philosophy then, and can you implement it with any team?

I don't think that you can adapt it to every possible situation. You need the right mindset, and it depends on how the players see the coach and vice versa. The coach is the focal point of the team but you need to have an open mind, and so do all the players. Everyone needs to work together to achieve a common goal. Preparing your tactical formation is essential. Each player needs to know where he has to be, and that is why there needs to be mutual understanding because you need absolute discipline. This is a sport played by 22 men, and there are 11 opponents out there playing as a team. Each individual needs to know who he has to beat and be there to support his team-mates.
