I guess my expectations are not wide off the mark seeing that the Marseille board also expected better.

It was widely reported he was the one that resigned. No one without agenda will say De Zerbi underperformed at Marseille. Infact he over performed with what he had.

I expected him to be closer to PSG, winning the league might have been too much of an ask but at least they should have been much closer to PSG.

Secondly, they had no excuse not to make the qualifiers of the UCL considering the teams they faced in the group stage

Bro your expectations for Marseille is wide and through the roof especially when they are also playing in the champions league with a small squad. You saw Napoli struggling to juggle both competition and even Villarreal couldn't as well.

He had a quality squad and could have done much better than he did . He was appointed coach of Marseille in June 2024, so he has had a reasonable time... In contrast to his performances at Marseille, Pierre Sage was appointed coach of Lens in the summer (July 1st 2025), and his team is doing much, much better, with players you can't compare to those at Marseille and a limited budget too.

I feel like you are being vague on purpose. What does much better mean in this context? Win trophy, gotten more wins, finished higher etc. What exactly was your expectations for him at Marseille that he didn't meet.

Not supporting anyone , but you didn't answer the question sha.

I actually did. How can the team with the 2nd best squad finish 8th the season before or they became the 2nd best squad because they were performing and doing well under De Zerbi. He was there for only one full season and finished 2nd qualifying them to the champions league for the first time in 5 years. You can't really say he didn't do anything reasonable with the squad he has unless your expectations for Marseille was to win the league or something else.

patrickmuf:
Do you follow the French league? If you do, please tell me which team in the league has a better squad than Marseille bar PSG.

The literally finished 8th the season before De zerbi. What exactly did you expect him to do in one full season at Marseille that he didn't do?

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bombblacks: 8:39am On Mar 02

Our performance level have been steadily dropping from carrick first game in charge. We have been riding our luck in our last 3 games. Without Sesko popping up with important goals we would have been in trouble.

Whatever happens in the summer, I hope we do not go after De Zerbi...I just discovered that his contract with Marseille was terminated by mutual consent. In France, after PSG, Marseille has the second best team but man couldn't do anything reasonable with the squad of players he had. All he is obsessed about is possession...

No, Marseille didn't have the 2nd best team. They finished 6th before him and what were you actually expecting him to achieve in one full season there? Why I like De zerbi is that he's just like Flick, you are getting an attacking team that guarantees goals which unfortunately also means you concede a lot as well.

Yes the ammunition dey for 50 but is he willing to take the risk of entering the booth under pressure? That is the Rubicon for hip hop beef. You can’t cross that line one time and now respond to the response with troll videos or memes.

It is less risky for him to just post more memes and videos. Having the ammunition is one thing. Trusting your lyrical ability to utilise that ammunition is another thing,

What even is this beef tho? I have still not seen what TI is upset about or what triggered this.

This just seems like old man yells at cloud. 50 is a retired rapper so expect nothing.

United all-time first eleven wey no contain Giggs, na incomplete first eleven.

Can you drop your epl all-time gala eleven make we cocompare, make we see that player that will bench Ryan Giggs?

Like I said it's not guaranteed. They are others that will pick Beckham over Giggs. Talent wise they are about similar level but peak Beckham edges it for me. Giggs has longevity going for him.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:
It is not an unpopular opinion. There's no epl all-time first eleven without Ryan Giggs.

Please simmer down. United all time 11 maybe and that's even debatable but Epl all time Giggs is nowhere near. Even Rooney would have a hard time making it let alone Giggs.

Never rated this Baleba fellow. Glad we didn't waste 100m on him like most of you wanted. Would have been a huge flop. Don’t think either of Anderson or Baleba are ready for a big club move yet.

I just watch a lengthy highlights of yesterday game, and United DNA was clear to see. Thunder will fire the board if they don't bring in a Manager that plays quick transition counter attacking football. If Carrick get us CL football playing that beautiful football, they he should remain as interim Manager till further notice...

Zerbi or Thomas

Who are u picking

Definitely De Zerbi. His team plays good football. Funny enough we went for him before Amorim and he rejected us. That was when we were looking to sack Erik in the summer.

By the way what a performance from Mazraoui yesterday and he's not even a natural left back.

I didn't even know Carrick has been sacked by his former club. I thought he was doing well there

He did well in his first season but missed out on automatic promotion. His 2nd season was bad.

I don't really understand this back and front on Dalot. When Mazraoui comes back he will be relegated to the bench. Amad is also another option for that position.

What that demon Leopold did in congo is not talked about enough.. Sometimes I think there are more heinous demons than Hitler..

Obviously because it involves blacks and Africans. You can see how Hitler treatment of the Jews is always brought up and even taught in European and American schools meanwhile Leopold atrocities has been completely wiped out of history.

Asking for midfield signing in January is just being disingenuous. We all knew the plan was to get 4 to 3 new midfielders in the summer with Bruno and casemiro likely leaving plus even ugarte. Last summer was focused on the attack and goalkeeping position plus we would have added Baleba if the price was right even tho I am not a big fan of him ,the previous one was on defense and the upcoming one was going to be on midfield. The board was also keen on adding Semenyo to the team this January until he rejected us for City. Amorim just needed to be patient as it was clear the board really liked him. His tactically inflexibility was just his biggest weakness.

patrickmuf:
True that, De Ligt was our best defender before he picked up that injury. I expect a lot of good things from a possible partnership with Martinez in defence...

Spot on. The reason I went with heaven as well was because of the height disadvantage of having Shaw and Martinez as one half of our defense.

🤣🤣 I just weak for Patrick. Mbeumo is a cheat code. Either they find a way to play both of them or Amad goes straight to the bench.

Can Amad play that left wing? Mbuemo has been carried to that Wing a few times this season so maybe they can both start in some games.

European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Bombblacks: 9:36pm On Jan 05

Jamiuokolaa:
We have a selection headache already

Tbh, Amad doesnt deserve to go to the bench but like you have said, it would be hard to fit him in..especially when everyone is fit.

Cunha's place also needs to be analysed, especially if/when Bruno is fit.

His current qualities might not suit us on the LHS of the attack.

I didn't even read your mention before dropping my previous post. Cunha is the one in trouble, he has mount and Bruno to contend with. I think at first he will get a run of games in that wing to see what he can do. Hopefully he adapts.
