Frickin Spurs are 2nd and still Man Utd are nowhere close to be challenging for the title. What a mess. Not really.I prefer it like that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zatman Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Pochettino has won less trophies in English football than McLeish and has managed as many cup finals as Pulis, Bruce and Sherwood Is he really that glamorous 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 im sure in some sort of twisted way woodward works in terms of traffic and social media noise of which there is plenty surrounding man utd with ole in charge, what they're definitely not doing is sliding towards obscurity, even in failure they're the most talked about team in the league, he'll spin that in to marketing gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Roy Keane was in good form again at the weekend. I wonder if United will ever employ him? I think he’d have a heart attack at just how little they care about winning. Turn up, run around a bit, few snaps for insta and go home. Result really isn’t important. Modern day footballers are all a bit like that to a degree but United seem to be on another level of no shits given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Interesting stat as OGS completes 100 games as manager. He’s managed Wins 55 draws 21 losses 24. This is 3rd in the list of all time Man United managers (behind Jose and Ernest Mangnall). Klopp at Liverpool, 50 wins, 29 draws, 21 losses from his first 100 games.

Well, out of those 100 games if he won the 55 in a row, he would be hailed as the greatest ever. If he lost the 24 in a row he would not be in the job. Stats are important and can paint a picture, however if OGS loses 2 games in a row and he is branded as 'shit' then it's probably wise to look at the wider picture of what results his team achieved. What those stats (and my personal subjective opinion) point to is that he is a successful manager of a team that is statistically likely to finish in top 6. Of course, the expectation has to be much higher, but that is a different discussion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stats are only really important for evidencing a view that is already held, they are often very easy to manipulate as required for the desired result. I don’t really get your point re 6th, United aren’t a club aiming for 6th and in any case are currently miles off 6th. He is a poor manager in my view.

villalad21 Posted November 4, 2020 Share Posted November 4, 2020 Seems like he is playing Football Manager. Every time i watch them there seem to be a new formation and different players each time. Axel was MOTM against PSG and since then he's been nowhere to be seen. Just so many strange decisions all around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
