Premier, opening with surprise: United defeated at home by … – The Republic

MANCHESTER – Worse than that it could not start. Louis Van Gaal began with a defeat at Old Trafford (it was in 1972 that the Red Devils had not lost in the first house, ed) his adventure at the helm of Manchester United. Arriving in England, the former coach of Holland had promised fireworks, at the time it did worse than his predecessor, David Moyes, who a year ago started what was then a disastrous year (seventh place and out of the cups) with success in a round trip (4-1) on the field of Swansea. The same team that ruined before Van Gaal won 2-1 in the game that ushered in the premier league 2014-2015.

With the new 3-4-1-2 Wayne Rooney and Chicharito Hernandez captain with his side backed by Mata, Van Gaal, already without Shaw, Lingard loses almost immediately because of an injury (within Januzaj): opportunities with the dropper for the Red Devils, with Fabianski good on the raid of Jones and the rest a little busy.

the first assault Swansea pass: nice maneuver to the right start by Dyer and Bony, well-Ki lurking on the edge square on the left winning it does dry De Gea. Audience of ‘”Old Trafford”, which was greeted with a standing ovation before the Dutch manager, now frozen, the interval you go with the Welsh forward. In the opening shot we think Rooney to put things in place: beautiful and turn it back in the United waterline reviving their fans. Again the captain, free kick beat the opening goal before the knockout blow. 72 minutes into the Swansea puts his head back with Sigurdsson left alone in the area. Not enough inputs Nani and Fellaini, the final assault produces protests for an alleged penalty and little else. After the race, Van Gaal is bitter: “It ‘a disappointment for the fans, for the players and also for me. E’ really a bad day for us,” said Van Gaal at the end of the game. “We’ve never played as a team and this is our mistake. ‘True, we had the opportunity for 2-1 but the opportunities are not enough. Need to take advantage of the opportunities you have.” Finally, a flicker of optimism (“It ‘s only the first match”) and an eye to the market: “It’ s what I thought before the game, nothing has changed. We have to wait and see.”

ARSENAL SMILES IN RECOVERY – must wait for the recovery but eventually Arsenal takes home the first three points of the season by beating Crystal Palace 2-1. A decisive goal from Ramsey after the guests were left with ten to a few minutes for the expulsion of Puncheon. The Palace had taken the lead with Hangeland (35 ‘), the amount of the Gunners was made at the end of the first half by Koscielny.

SHOT TOTTENHAM – First day at’ teaches blows away. How to Tottenham in the first London derby of the season played at the home of West Ham passes the measurement thanks to a goal at 93 ‘Eric Dier. Spurs in ten to 29 ‘(expelled Naughton) and thank Noble (mistake from the spot), even in the recovery Collins goes off for two bookable offenses and in extremis Pochettino’s team took home the first three points of the season. They win out with the same result (0-1) also Aston Villa (home of Stoke City decides Wiemann) and Hull City (Chester gives the victory over newly-promoted QPR). Do not switch to Everton in the field of Leicester, another newly promoted: 2-2 with Ulloa and Wood which repair to McGeady and Naismith. Also finished 2-2 West Bromwich-Sunderland.
Tomorrow it’s up to Liverpool and Manchester City on Monday instead of Jose Mourinho at Chelsea.
