Honestly, I can't go through this torment while watching our matches next season.

What will Depay play before he's removed? Does he need to score against the team

The man wants to defend 1 nil. He wanted to bring in Januzaj but opted for Morgan as we scored. Smh

Even though Mata lacks pace, he is still our best player in attack today

What a lucky goal

elampiro:
He he is yet to bring Young?

Young is not on bench.

elampiro:
I am not watching the match. The selection and substitution alone tell me we should struggle. Schneirderlin should play instead of Carrick. Mensah should have partnered Smalling while Rojo play left back. Who will bring the inspiration when Martial is out?

The whole team is uber useless from Rojo in defence, Herrera in midfield to Depay, Lingard and Rooney in attack. I don't care attitude!

This man can't inspire confidence/motivation. I thought he is known as the Iron Tulip

Why not give Mata free kicks since he is the best in the team

Rojo keeps showcasing his stùpidity

This Jackson of a guy is low in confidence and I hope he doesn't cause problem for the team.

Senior players like Rooney and Carrick that should lead by example are not better

AdeLaNa1:
Darmian sef don injurre. I think we've had more injuries than goals this season....

It's the fact na, no need to think am

We will need a miracle to win this game.

Where's Young? Would have preferred the guy to this unserious Mensis

Anthony Martial injured in warm-up. Ander Herrera replaces him.



What sort of warm- up they do

Spy360:
You are spot on.

If Liverpool wins the EL, England will have 5 teams in the UCL. If Sevilla wins, Spain will send 6 teams.

Meanwhile, Manure about to capitulate. Thank God for van Gaal. 2 more years.

The maximum from any given league is 5. So if Sevilla wins it, they join the top 4 teams since a winner of the CL is still among the top 4 teams.

Had the winner of the CL wasn't among the top 4 and a team like Sevilla wins the EL, then the 4th placed team would lose her place.

Of course, the top 4 teams including the winner of Europa.

iPopAlomo:
ARSENAL minimum expectation... make top 4... did we make it...?! I'll leave you to answer that...

What's your club minimum expectation...?! make the champions league... did they make it after spending £300 million pounds...?! I'll also leave you to answer that...

As if Arsenal do more than that.

Keep saying that to yourself if it gives you solace.

SIRcumalot:
I'll rather have the players
and you can look at how we've dominated the English league by almost always having the best team,
or why people don't respect the achievements of Enrique or Pep (I mean no insult Bacra fans). is because of how stack that squad was
in a domestic league situation the team with the best players will win it most times.
we don't have this anymore hopefully it's mismanagement from lvG but some of this player do not inspire any confidence in their ability.

In general case, a great manager is more important. There are numerous examples like Leicester, United under Fergie and under Moyes, Newcastle under Benitez, etc.

Wenger making top 4 with these Leicester players would have been lauded not knowing they under achieved. So a great manager brings out the best in his team.

iPopAlomo:
But... they spent... yeah...?

Haha. Keep shifting Emirates goal post.

The fact is the seasons big spenders were doing well Arsenal was behind and still behind even in this season team that didn't spend like her, Arsenal, won the league.

So, what definition do we ascribe to your club?

Chidexter:
What does it say when u click sim management...... U can use mtk to tweak ur imei

does it show your imei with *#06#?

AdeLaNa1:
United ve spent 250m since SAF retired. Liverpool ve equally spent as much. 200m in the same time period. But one retârded oponu wey dey here and doesn't know shît ll be carrying United's transfer business for head like Fila....

Rubbish!!

It helps some of them to sleep.

SIRcumalot:
so zidane is a better manager than benitez ?
the coach that Madrid fans never wanted in the first place
a manager is only as good as the talent he manages.
when pool former manager had Suarez and sturridge he was beating the crap out of everybody,one left the other was always injured and they fell back to earth.
he recruited the wrong players and finally exhausted the good will that glorious season bought him.

let me ask you guys this question
who would you rather have a great manager or great players?

Of course, a great manager is more important.

Benitez problem was more of mutiny.

SIRcumalot:
aside from that milner stuff
this is really hard to argue with its not a pleasant thought to entertain that is why it's not popular.
LvG still deserved to be shot.

what am not hearing from most of you that are against this point is who are the Utd players that are better than those he listed above.
forget form.

The argument here is the importance of the manager which can even be inferred from Kagawa10's post just that he has become LvG's ass licker and therefore can't spell it out, so other things written are irrelevant to the argument.

LordEmperoris1:
Arsenal has a poor season also but are better than city, united and chelsea this season

Lol. How's Arsenal having a poor season?

iPopAlomo:
And where's Chelshit and Manure on the table...?! after all... they spent too...

They're having a poor period. Can we say the same for your club?

If Benitez goes to Everton and they start doing better than United, you will still suddenly hear they've better, younger and pacy players unlike the sluggish Mata and old Carrick/Bastian while only Martial can get into their attack since Lukaku and Barkley are better than Rashford and Herrera.

You don't even know when to stop.

Kagawa10:
Can was getting played either in the defence or used a box-box midfielder with Lucas in the holding role while Milner was on the wing.
The lack of a good striker to stand in for Sturridge when he got injured was also another factor. Rodger would rather play Benteke than Origi to justify his signing considering the amount splashed on him. Klopp on the other hand had no problem choosing Origi over Benteke he wasn't the one who sign them to begin with.
But really, are you saying Coutinho, Sturridge and Firmino are poor players? These re young pacy fantastic flair players in their prime.

The difference is the manager!

Even your claim that defence was their main problem has not changed; they've lost points since Klopp came from 2 nil up, their win against Dortmond was from 2 nil down while they hardly keep clean sheet.

The same players, different managers, different results. Simple!

bykebyke:
Villarreal were a man down before 3-0..we will never know if they would have scored a goal.

What sort of excuse is this

Ranieri and Klopp exposing Wenger.











Not spending is not an excuse.

Kagawa10:
You want to tell me Pool forward trio of Sturridge, Firmino and Coutinho are not excellent compared to our previous attacks of the slow paced ageing Rooney and the sluggish Mata?
Also, Liverpool midfield of Milner and Can are solid players, not spectacular but solid.
Can may not be as talented as Carrick in the holding role but he's got fresh legs and he's a bit agile than Carrick while Milner is a better box-box midfielder than any of Morgan, Fellaini and Herrera. Although Milner maybe a poor man's Kante but he's got the same attributes as him for being both an offensive and defensive box-box CM.
Pool's problem under Rodger has been their doggy defence and never their attacks.

They're suddenly better since they had a change of manager. Where were these players when we were beating them home and away?

Abeg carry these your bollocks park one side!

Hope Mr Plato is seeing what Klopp is doing?

City, especially their attackers(De Bryunce and Aguero), were piss poor today. Otamendi was very good though.

edoyad:
Man Utd will finish Fourth, definitely, but Man city and Liverpool will win European trophies

Let's wait until around 11pm 1st
