Leicester City were given a reality check when the unlikely leaders lost 1-0 at Liverpool yesterday while Manchester United slumped to a third straight Premier League defeat to pile the pressure on Louis van Gaal.

Israel says Palestinian killed as he tries to stab policemen
One Palestinian witness, Suhail Hamed, 39, said the police opened fire when the vehicle was 150 meters (yards) away from them. Israeli soldiers used live rounds, rubber bullets and teargas on hundreds of Palestinians at the protest.
Bojan Krkic and Marko Arnautovic were both on target in the first half as Mark Hughes’ Stoke ensured former club United equalled a dismal run Charlton was a part of as a player.
Concussion movie highlights true story of football injury dangers
The focus is improving equipment, looking at refining tackling techniques and sideline diagnosis, and, of course, treatment. As reviewed, the movie ” Concussion ” is set in 2005 where it follows Will Smith, who plays as the lead character Dr.
“That is something I discuss with [executive vice-chairman] Ed Woodward not you”, Van Gaal told a media conference after the game.
Accused Army deserter Bowe Bergdahl arraigned at Fort Bragg, defers jury decision
The charges include desertion and “misbehavior before the enemy” for endangering the lives of the troops sent to look for him. Jeffery Nance, another judge, “has been detailed for all future judicial hearings in this case”, according to a news release.
The biggest indictment of the malaise afflicting England’s biggest club was Van Gaal’s belief that his expensively-assembled team ‘did not dare to play football in the first half’. “I have tried to do everything but the pressure shall be higher and higher with every match”, he said after the Stoke game. That is the problem now. “I have to deal with that, but much more important is that the players have to deal with that because they have to perform”.
After dominating the first 45 minutes, United forced Stoke to defend resolutely in the second half, although they did threaten on the break.
“You can say I failed in my job because they could not cope but in the end the players must do that for themselves”.
The 2-0 loss at the windy Britannia Stadium pushed United down to sixth place in the English Premier League, and Van Gaal is sensing the pressure after barely 18 months in charge.
Manchester United lost their fourth game in a row as Stoke City secured a 2-0 win, and Michael Carrick admits the squad is hurting.
“Where are the likes of [Javier] Hernandez – people in the past like Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, who come off the bench to sparkle or to bring us back into the game?”
Van Gaal replaced Depay with Rooney at halftime, but United could not reduce the deficit. “I feel the support of everyone”. “It is very hard to do that in just two days but we shall try”.
That it was the same scoreline after 90 minutes even after the introduction of Rooney in the second half, will probably seal his fate as Manchester United manager.
