3-2 penalty win means bossing the opponent.

This place ehn grin grin grin
Look at the match stats.

The score line flattered England. It made it seem like a tough game. The truth is the Italians destroyed England with number of shots, possession, passing accuracy, etc.

Most of them play in the farmer’s league - it got me wondering how the overhyped PL players could only make 420 passes in 120 minutes in comparison to the 820 passes from the Italians.

If Football was like wrestling, the referee would have stopped the match. English players took a jungle justice sort of beating. They were totally destroyed.

I am not sure you are right...It is graded as 2 and not 1.5...Kindly check again.
Ligue 1 isn’t far behind from PL. The only thing PL has over Ligue 1 apart from money is hype. We should stop pretending that we haven’t seen direct transfers from Ligue 1 coming to boss the overhyped PL.

Eden Hazard, Riyadh Mahrez, Ngolo Kante, etc all came from the so called Farmer’s league to win PFA player of the year in the overhyped PL back to back without sweats.

Salah also came straight from Serie A(another so called farmer’s league) to dog-walk the overhyped PL defenders. There’s also Ruben Dias that came straight from Portuguese league and he won player of the season. Bruno Fernandes from the same farmer’s league is also bossing PL defenders - and he should have won the last PFA awards.

PL is 70% footballing ability, 30% media hype. Just try and watch the Euro final again and see how Italian players from the so called farmer’s league totally destroyed the overhyped PL players.

They all took a forced sabbatical after Tuchel broke their hearts.

Joezinho:
I hate to see Man utd fans shitting on him on every thread about him but atleast he deserves some praise..

Ole Gollum was worse at utd than Jose, until fernandes came in, in terms of wins/losses. You know who Jose had as CAM at utd? Lingard, perreira and mata.

Fans at utd have lost track of it but bruno is carrying the team on his shoulders with drive, motivation, assists and goals. Not Ole Gollum, which is why 30-50% of the fans are actually Ole out.

Man u fans hate that he Is still there best manager since fergie..
Stüpidity is the only reason anyone would say Jose hasn’t been United’s best manager since Fergie.

They criticized Jose for losing to Sevilla until Sevilla eliminated Ole’s United in Europa semifinal.

They criticized Jose for winning a milk cup(Europa) until Ole couldn’t even beat Villareal(7th best team in La Liga) to win it.

The bookies have Ole as the 4th favorite to win the league. Even Tunde Disu would be favorites to win the league after spending £200m on defence and signing Ronaldo.

They're very well drilled.

Saul was the player that made them suffer against Villa. I am certain that the next time we see Saul, he will look very good...

Tuchel just knows how to set his team up and if the opposition manager outsmart him, he reads the game fast enough to make corrections to his set up and personnel...
Any manager that survives with 10 men at Anfield deserves to become manager of the year.

Ole couldn’t survive with 10 men at Old Trafford. He lost 6-1.

If Liverpool weren’t given a penalty for the red card, I am sure Tuchel would have prevented them from scoring that day. He’s that good.

He reads the game ever so well. His in-game management is second to none and he might be the manager that will break Jose’s outstanding defensive record of conceding only 15PL goals in an entire season.

Just quote all the Tuchel belittlers on this thread and note their names down.

When Tuchel claims another trophy, attach their names and the rubbish they said to the trophy.

Not all United fans are brainless. Only the idiötic ones think Tuchel and Ole are on the same level so narrow your aim on that faction when the time comes. grin

Tottenham won't win titles. Shitty club. They signed Mou and made him play Dier,Sanchez, aurier.. grin

It never made sense to bring in a defensive minded coach, not give him the defensive pieces he needs, then be surprised when results didn’t roll in.

Either get Mourinho the necessary defenders,or don’t hire him in the first place.

I’ve seen Mourinho win countless games by grabbing a goal and locking up and even nabbing another goal or two on the counter after the other team is forced to attack. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that wouldn’t work with Tottenham given that they don’t have the defenders to lock it up!

Letting him go with a cup final and league places to play for was a sin. He was done dirty by spurs there.
Spurs deserve every misery they get. I hope they relegate and Harry Kane moves to City in the summer.

United have already got their karma with Ole. 3 years later, Ole cannot win a trophy. He’s the only manager in the world that isn’t expected to win any trophy despite having Ronaldo in his team.

Next week will determine, if Pep has not yet find a solution to beaten Tuchel.
Tuchel as a Chelsea manager has beaten him 3 times already.

As usual, Pep apologists said Pep overthought the tactics by not playing Fernandinho in the CL final. The truth is Pep has tried all sorts of combination in the midfield against Tuchel and Pep lost all the games.

Tuchel and Chelsea fit like hands to gloves. They are the only team in Europe without any weakness. Pep doesn’t have a striker. Liverpool have no centre forward, United have a foolish manager. Tuchel has everything.

Football is not mathematics. Don't be surprise, if we trash Chelshit.
10-man Chelsea will beat Ole’s United.

They are the best team in Europe. 4 clean sheets in 5 games. The stuff of champions. Tuchel is nothing to play with.

Chelsea have now kept more clean sheets (15) than they have conceded goals (14) in the Premier League under Tuchel.

Tuchel has made them the most difficult team to beat. Ole’s best hope is to park the bus and get a boring 0-0 like he did last season.

Haaland and his advisors will look at the financial package as well as the sporting package on offer before choosing his next destination. We can match any financial offer he receives but on the sporting side, I doubt we can match other top teams. We play drab football no thanks to Ole who is clueless. I'd say sack Ole and get Zidane...
Haaland’s father said one of the reasons they chose Dortmund was because he wasn’t guaranteed Ole wouldn’t be sacked had his son joined United that January and he desperately wanted his son to play for Ole at United.

Now that Ole has a long contract, United have a better chance to sign him next summer but Ole’s poor results are going to complicate things going forward.


patrickmuf:
Zidane has the charisma that should see Haaland want to join a team he coaches...
I am not even sure Zizou would come and manage United. He doesn’t strike me like someone that would cope with the haughtiness of the British media.

Shameful display yesterday, the scoreline flattered you guys. I hope you people don't plan on staining GOATNaldo's white. You guys just made qualification complicated for yourselves. Even with 10 men you shouldn't get absolutely rinsed by a team from Switzerland that's not even in great form

Also I have made a honest and sincere observation. Why does Bruno Fraudnandes never seem to show up in big games or tight games or games United have been in adversity, maybe I'm hallucinating but can anyone point me to two tough games Bruno Fraudnandes has shown up since joining United? (I'm not talking about the ones he gets to take a PK after ghosting the entire game)
Didn’t he show up against Roma last season in the semifinal at OT? He got the first goal, Roma equalized and even scored a second goal before half time. Roma were the better side up until half time.

In the second half, Bruno emerged from the dressing room looking like a monster and he got us through that stormy waters by helping the team win 6-2 with 2 goals and 2 assists.

Yesterday wasn’t his fault either. The manager removed him and until his removal, the manager had the entire team parking the bus after the red card. The tactics dictate the functionality of players.

Bruno has bailed United out many many times.

He did not play 33 times. Your source is wrong. It assumed Herrera was pairing with Carrick or Matic as DM. We were not playing two DMs. Herrera was a RCM playing ahead of the DM.
My source can’t be wrong. They dedicate all their resources into telling their consumers where every player has played in the last 30 years.

Mourinho’s most used formation is 4-2-3-1(double pivot), Carrick was already gone by the time Mourinho arrived and Herrera was used 30 times as a DM under Mourinho. The facts are there, that you don’t understand football formation is nobody’s problem.

elampiro:
Because Jones and Rooney played DM, CM respectively and did well there doesn't make them DM and CM. Or that Fabio Da Silva is a midfielder. Or that Fletcher is a winger. Or that Ferdinand is a goalkeeper.
This is the most idiotic false equivalence I have encountered on this thread yet. Jones is a defender, Rooney is a striker, Fabio Da Silva is a defender, Fletcher is a central midfielder, Ferdinand is a defender.

Herrera is a midfielder that played in the defensive midfield. That you are comparing this scenario to a striker playing in the midfield already tells me your brain circuitry has low voltage. grin grin

I am optimistic that Sancho will come good too...

Haaland is a must however, we need to play better to get the best out of Haaland assuming we get him.
The conundrum here is Haaland won’t come to United if Ole gets sacked. Perhaps that’s another reason the board is reluctant to sack him yet.

Doc wanted to remain in the fence and dont want to be qouted in case things goes opposite. Glazers are leaches and rubbish yet they have spent a fortune since fergie retired, Hired World class managers in LVG and Mourinho. At this point nobody should call Glazers. Doc want Glazers to sack Ole the darling of Fergie and Class of 92 and 2008? So that they will start pushing a propaganda with emotional fans to stop patronising merchandise and disrupting matches.

Unpopular Opinion, The class of 92/08 + Fergie are holding us back. They should stay away from the club for proper football managers. That was how Giggs told Ole to go and buy James.
That opinion is not unpopular.

They are the ones driving the narrative that Ole is building something great.

And some Olesexuals had the nerves to tell me Ole is better than Tuchel.

United’s biggest problem have to be Olesexuals who prop Ole up as this master tactician. If we get rid of those fans, Ole would be exposed and sacked in due time.

Maybe that was why Lingard played that back pass. He was trying to get Ole the sack. More of that and Ole’s P45 should be ready by November.

Your website was counting Herrera as a 2nd DM instead of a second CM along Pogba. That formation got us great results. I remember it. Most times, Herrera's added responsibility to track Hazard, etc.made him looked like a second DM, but he was not. He was a CM on the right side while Pogba on left.

Your unreliable memory actually thought Mourinho arrived with Matic, he didn’t. Matic was signed a season later. Matic wasn’t part of the team that won Europa/League Cup/Community Shield. In some of those games, Herrera featured as a DM and he played very well.
