TheLequte: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. |
patrickmuf: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.

CapitalCee:Yeah, by parking the bus. |
Joezinho:Ole Gollum could have easily dropped two points today if not for De Gea’s heroic save. He’s totally incompetent. |
BikeMan:Spineless worms. ![]() They all took a forced sabbatical after Tuchel broke their hearts. Joezinho: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. |
patrickmuf: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. |
This Neymar has no respect. He won’t even let Messi take the penalty to break his goal drought in the French league. |
BikeMan: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. ![]() |
Joezinho: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. |
BARAJ92: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. |
Morata scores - what a goal. ![]() |
BARAJ92:Ole couldn’t find weakness in Young Boys, somehow you expect him to find weakness in Tuchel’s Chelsea. The same weakness Pep hasn’t been able to find. ![]() |
Oasis007:Harry Kane’s performance since Jose left Spurs is a Mou Alert. We were told here Kane’s performance last season was down to Harry Kane himself. Harry Kane is so talented that he would score plenty of goals under any manager. ![]() |
BARAJ92:10-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. |
Expert17:Herrera is gold. He is starting again tonight against Lyon. Herrera has silently relegated Wijnaldum and Paredes to the bench. |
patrickmuf: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: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.

A40: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. |
BikeMan:A poll needs to be taken on this thread to know those who still think Ole is the messiah. Are there still people who think Ole is going to win anything meaningful at this club? |
BikeMan:You used to be a staunch Ole fan, what changed? ![]() |
elampiro: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: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. ![]() elampiro:Anytime you are getting battered in an argument, the trauma you suffered 20 years ago against Coogar jumps out. You need therapy. ![]() |
patrickmuf: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. |
CapitalCee:That opinion is not unpopular. They are the ones driving the narrative that Ole is building something great. |
MorataFC:Haaaaaaaaaa Please, tell me this isn’t true. 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. |
elampiro:But you said he can’t play as a DM. If he’s been played there and he performed extremely well there, why are you still arguing? ![]() Elampiro, you don’t know ball. ![]() |
elampiro:Stop using a sample size of 6 games to generalize what obtains in reality. I said Herrera played 33 games in all competitions as DM, if you have any evidence that it wasn’t the case, kindly present them instead of using 6 games out of the 5 full seasons Herrera spent at United. |
CapitalCee:Martial has been putting such poor performances for 6 years now, he still gets to play. Sancho hasn’t played badly in any of the games. Today wasn’t his fault. He was sacrificed as soon as that agricultural player got sent off. |
elampiro:So who was the DM against Ajax in Europa final? Matic? ![]() |
elampiro:That’s not what you are saying. You said he cannot play DM or he didn’t play as a DM and your unreliable memory didn’t inform you Herrera played as a DM 7 PL games in 16/17 - before Mourinho signed Matic in 17/18. 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. Can you now see why it’s very important no one relies on your bankrupt memory? ![]() Elampiro, you don’t know ball!!!! ![]() |
elampiro:My website mistakenly? Mistake? So on the day Matic didn’t play, that position was vacant? Elampiro, you don’t know ball and your memory is bankrupt. ![]() |
Expert17:Elampiro’s slogan has come back to bite him in the yansh. ![]() |
elampiro:Lies. Mourinho never played Matic as a lone DM with Pogba/ Herrera in advanced roles. |
elampiro:Matic was almost at his peak in 2018? ![]() If he was at his peak then, why buy Fred? ![]() |

. Sometimes i feel spurs were not wrong to sack him. He was never the right fit for Spurs.
