Their performances, goal difference and XG metrics place them mid table at best. This is an average team getting lucky results. The performances and stats prove it
-
They went on a brilliant run at the start of 2023 which ETH has been dining out on ever since
-
The most worrying thing if I were a united fan is that ETH seems to think they’re playing well
-
I know we do this every week but how, just how, is the Utd - Fulham game first on MoTD. An average game other than the last 20 minutes between the teams in 6th and 13th respectively. Literally the only “justification” is that it’s Utd
-
I’d be fascinated to see what’s happened behind the scenes to get him to this level. His entire mentality has changed. Before, even beyond his lack of confidence taking players on, he also had terrible decision making. He’s now very reliable in not giving the ball away. I can’t think of a player who’s transformed for the better in such a short space of time
-
How thick does he have to be to use an account which he’d publicly been so heavily connected with in the past?!
-
Some say Bayern Munich are only wobbling due to the fear that a rising Man Utd will build on their momentum, win the PL, fly away over to Germany, win the bundesliga and take all Bayern’s trophies. Tommy Tuchel wakes up in night sweats with Scott Mctominay’s face in his dreams. Don’t believe me? Just ask Gary Neville
-
Yeah fair enough- I’d forgotten he used to do this and it’s despicable
-
Fair- although the hatred is better directed at the rule makers that allow it than the players that exploit it
-
Why does everyone hate Kane so much? He seems like a fairly ordinary bloke to me, is objectively a very good player (and largely through hard work rather than innate natural talent) and has been refreshing as England captain compared to some of his predecessors
-
They need to cut this guy loose. There’s so much good feeling at the moment on the pitch and all of this unrest on the commercial side is a needless distraction. I’ve seen nothing to suggest that Chris Heck isnt expendable at best
-
Neat slogan- you should start a campaign. Id love to see Bellingham tell La Liga to do one and force a move out of the country if that happens
-
I think we’re agreeing on this. For example: ”Pep isn’t proven at doing well with non- world class players. That doesn’t mean he’s not good or he couldn’t”. I agree completely in fact in the original post you took objection to I said he was outstanding and arguably the best of our time. “I happen to think pep would be an excellent manager regardless of the squad. But I guess we’ll never know”. Again I agree- exactly as you state here, my point is that he’s unproven in those circumstances
-
Indeed- although my example is somewhat more meaningful as it’s discussing a broad category of management where Pep is unproven (getting the best out of non-world class players). I don’t know if Ferguson could take a non-league team up but I do know that he won the league with the likes of rafael, Tom cleverly, Phil jones and others of mid-low table quality
-
My view on this is that Pep is clearly an outstanding manager and arguably the best of our time. But he does remain unproven in situations where he doesn’t have world class players immediately at his disposal. People are forgetting that he finished 3rd in his first season in England. It’s not to say that he couldn’t do what say Klopp has done having spent much less money, just that it’s unproven. By the same token I’ve no idea whether Klopp could take City to the level of dominance that pep has done had he the same resources
-
Is it possible that we could play a non-CM in the kamara role to shore us up a bit in there-e.g I could imagine Torres playing there, or maybe Moreno?
-
The worst one was Kamara being fouled about 5 times on the edge of their area, having the dignity to stay on his feet, and then getting nothing when he finally went down on the 6th attempt

Maybe but he started saying it before they scored their second. It’s not the worst thing in the world but it adds to this attitude that Utd are entitled to win the game
-
He was good for 75 mins or so but then was practically tugging himself off toward the end talking about all the great nights he’d had at villa park. His comment that spurs would have preferred Villa to win to “keep united at bay” was also annoying
-
The rapidity of his decline is only matched by the rapidity of Bailey’s improvement. Every time Diaby gets the ball he looks lost for ideas. At the start of the season his awareness was excellent and he looked like he’d be an assist machine. What’s happened to him? It’s like there’s some kind of leverkusen curse where only one of him or Bailey can be on form at the same time
-
One of the main plus points today. He was involved in most things we did well. Sure he’s still a little rusty but he’s showing so much more drive and impetus than his previous appearances. He’ll be back to his best in no time

If you think that’s extreme then you’re just guessing “mate” -

I don’t think we’re ever gonna agree on this “mate” but since you want to carry on. There are literally multiple new stories showing him getting blind drunk in his private life including drunk driving. But no you’re right, it’s just as likely that he’s living a priestly existence in a monastery in his spare time. We just don’t know! -

Stop with the “mate” thing. There’s no point continuing this discussion -

Ok- step back, have a glass of water. Read the post. A guess would be me just picking at random. But my argument explicitly rests on actual evidence of high profile drinking incidents so is therefore educated
