referring decisions also go in our favour, for instance that dortmund

goals in 40 mins REGULARLY, GREAT teams average more than one tackle every 90 mins, GREAT teams don't need more 7 clear cut chances to score, united
have academy players in defence, in fact our defensive players are 15x better but VAN GAAL will get a result, united
have had an injury list just as long if not longer than ours but VAN GAAL will get a result, united
have just gone through a managerial shift but VAN GAAL will get a result,
