raumdeuter: So which team would he have played that would make him an underdog? when he has played most of the heavyweight and you still claimed he was not an underdog None! As it’s been throughout his career because he only manages the most expensive teams in the league. That’s the point I was trying to make - whoever Pep gets drawn against would seem like an easy fixture for Pep’s team because he’s never been an underdog going into any game. He’s been the favorite to win every CL edition he featured in for the past 10 years but he somehow manages to fall on his own sword. |

Nothing special in the List, we go whip dem home and away. A reminder that the last time they faced gegenpressing in a KO stage, they beat Liverpool home and away. Trent put around 25 crosses into their box and Savic was just eating those balls like he was Vidic. |

melodyogonna: You didn't even mention Simeone PSG is an easier opponent to me. We find it hard to breakdown West ham when they go defensive, I don't want to imagine what will happen to a team drilled to play defensively for what ... 10 years now? PSG have all the big names but they have not settled down, the way they play makes the pitch very big with a lot of space. We couldn’t even break down Norwich. Palace gave us hell on our own patch. Atletico’s satanic football would be too much for the naive United players. There’s plenty of time for us to improve though but I would fancy playing against Pochettino than Atletico. El Cholo is a master tactician of the dark arts. His team can score 3 goals with 6% possession. |

“Talk to me if you want to leave the club, stop hiding behind your agent.”
Rangnick simply has no fücks to give any primadonna player that wants to hold the club to a ransom.

nitrogen: I am happy that it affected a club like Atletico too, utd was so happy with the draw. The idiot in charge of our social media don dey tweet nonsense about Cavani back to France, Messi vs Ronaldo etc. Awon werey! Woodward is an accountant - a chartered one if I may add. The money is more important to him than the outcome of two 90-minute games. Joezinho: The Cocaine addict thinks messi is still playing for prime Barcelona..PSG wouldn't want to face man utd at this stage because of their history with English clubs.. Besides, it was even atletico that laid complaint. PSG would want Ajax, Lille or Juventus. United game is a 50-50 game cos Ralf would have improved those boys by the time CL comes back around in February. |

Shitty corruption personified club, las las you'll still get knocked out in this round. Nobody is scared facing Messi. Man Utd didn’t complain about PSG. Woodward was already calculating the massive money United would get from the Messi/Ronaldo showdown. The views, the social media engagements, etc. It was Atletico that actually made complaints. They didn’t want Bayern. Stop acting like United didn’t knock out PSG a while ago. |

Expert17: Following a technical problem with the software of an external service provider that instructs the officials as to which teams are eligible to play each other, a material error occurred in the draw for the UEFA Champions League Round of 16.
As a result of this, the draw has been declared void and will be entirely redone at 1500 CET. The PSG draw was an easy draw for United. Man Utd didn’t even contest the outcome, Atletico are the ones who feel cheated with their Bayern Munich draw. Rangnick/Carrick did a good job making sure we topped the group. PSG are the only top outfit in all the teams(2nd position in their groups) that we could potentially get. The others are Atletico, Salzburg RB, Benfica, Sporting Lisbon and Inter. We cannot get Chelsea(same country) and Villareal(same group). We should be able to beat any of these teams. |

nitrogen: There is no problem. I am hoping this guy starts doing the things we wanted Ole to do, if he won’t, then we get another manager. Thank God he is on a six month contract.
We hire, sack and rehire until we get it right. The model works for most big clubs in Europe. If Tuchel messes up this season, he is gone! That’s what we should be doing.
The players are not as bad as we think, some of them need to be benched so they can become sensible (e.g Rashford and Bruno), some of them need to work on their physicality and speed (e.g Greenwood). Discard the fringe players that are on pension at Utd. We need brutality and less talk from our manager. I’d take the 3 points despite the shoddy performance. This is like the first time we have gotten 2 clean sheets back to back this year. Guardiola didn’t start playing mesmerizing football in his 2nd or 3rd game after joining City, neither did Klopp. These things take time but at least we can see that we are now capable of winning games or keeping clean sheets without necessarily playing well. There’s no reason to panic at all. Bruno is a risk taker. Sometimes it goes really really well and sometimes it can be so bad. That’s what happens when you take risks. It can be both extremes, I don’t know why people are moaning. If those risky passes had worked and he got 4 assists in this game, nobody would complain. What do people really want? A Bruno type that isn’t afraid to take risks or McTominay type that keeps things very simple but without any big reward in the end. There’s a reason Bruno is one of the most productive midfielders in Europe. It’s because he takes these risks which can be highly rewarding or sometimes appalling. That’s who he is - accept him like that or ignore him totally. It’s very simple. |

melodyogonna: There is no reason to cuss. Is there a good squad? Is the environment toxic? Are the team showing strong bonding? Are the players mentally drained? Again, nobody damaged anybody. The whole team just need a better coach to take them to the next level. This is the last I'll comment on this topic, anybody can accept whatever they want. A team went 3 years without a trophy under a Norwegian fraud and you think the players weren’t damaged? Everything went wrong under Ole. Not only was he a useless manager, reports came out that he demands no accountability from the players when they perform poorly. Under Ole, there was no consequence for bad performance because Ole wanted to be in the good books of everyone(especially the English players). Shaw could stink the whole OT with shoddy performances and he’s guaranteed to start the next game. You have put the bar so low for Ole you should have found crude oil by now.  |

hoopLA: As colorful as your analogy is, I really don't think it's right. As poor as United's midfield might look, Pogba owes the club a responsibility and duty to at least stand out.
Are we saying that he requires star players to play well? If yes then I think he is a fraud who has been carried to titles by and large.
He is one of the top earners at the club and is angling to be paid 400k a week.
Please count the number of significant games he has had for the club since 2016 when he joined.
If you can give games I can count on the fingers of one hand that we can all agree on,where he dragged us to a won, I will forever shut up on his matter.
Aside the derby in 2018 where he scored a brace in a comeback win, I'm scratching my head to actually remember any other.
The man is a French Yaw Preko jare. Are you talking about Paul Labile Pogba? Show him more respect, boss. He’s always stood out in the Man Utd squad(until at least Bruno’s arrival) and Bruno benefits a lot from his position being close to the goal. The few times Ole moved Pogba closer to the attack, we all saw what he’s capable of in the final third. Top players require other top players to perform to their optimum. Even Xavi would struggle with McFred as team mates.

Joezinho: Pogba should gtfo this club. He claims he wants to win things and be successful at man united, but I don’t know how anyone could look to be successful with that level of inconsistency. But look at the poor quality around him. Kroos has Modric and Casemiro KDB has Fernandinho, Rodri, Gundogan. Pogba has Fred and McSauce. The support system is the problem, not Pogba. We have seen what Pogba can be with quality around him but United move different. Man Utd are the only team in the world that would buy $200,000 alloy rims on a 1977 VW Beetle and expect it to outrun a Ferrari. United have the worst midfielders out of all the top teams in the top 5 leagues in Europe. I can name 5 mid table teams with better midfielders than United and that’s where the problem lies. |

eph12: Even Salah. You can't easily shrug him off the ball Salah is a bully. I doubt he’s ever lost any duel or 50-50 tussle with an opponent. He must win the ball no matter what. He looks short but he’s so thick. |

Oasis007: Rangnick: "I am not so much worried about his technical level but we need to develop him mentally and physically for him to become the strongest version of himself." Greenwood needs to enter the gym and bulk up. The natural ability is there but he’s physically hopeless. He needs to get in shape like Mbappe or Haaland to become a modern day centre forward. Successful modern day strikers are physical monsters(Lewandowski, Ronaldo, Benzema, Suarez, Kane, Mbappe, Lukaku) - their physique enables them to go pound for pound against towering monsters like Bonucci and Chiellini. Someone like Greenwood would get eaten up by the Italian defenders no matter what he does. The physique of a striker is becoming increasingly important in modern day football. The talent and the technique are not enough if he’s going to the get to the very top. Dude needs to leave Manchester chics alone for now, get into the gym and become a freak. |

olabode89: So you mean Van Nistelrooy, Stam and Forlan didn't make it as footballers?
Playing around 250 games for two teams that were perennial top 4 teams in England during that period is a solid football career. How many caps do the aforementioned players have for their respective national teams? Now compare to Welbeck….. Arsenal weren’t a perennial top 4 team when Welbeck joined them. Stop capping. With the promises and resources given to Welbeck to succeed as a local boy, he was a massive disappointment. |

Most goals scored for club & country in 2021 by players in Europe's top five leagues:
◎ Robert Lewandowski (66) ◎ Kylian Mbappé (47) ◉ Erling Haaland (47)

The players have been Ragnified.Just look at the successful pressures against Palace in comparison to the previous games this season. We had 55 against Palace. A successful pressure is defined as when possession is regained within five seconds of applying pressure.
