Luis Enrique at Man U ,many of una favorite go collect bench While some underperforming players will also improve ,and he will surely do a good job ,but why should he leave the Spanish national team where he is very comfortable ?

I'm only referring to the rumour that he is on Man utd's shortlist of 4 managers. Its unlikely he'll want to leave the national team especially before the world cup this year but if there's a small chance he's interested, he would be my pick.

If Enrique is even half way interested, we should be going all out for him.

DeadPresidents:
Ten Haag did well as assistant manager to Pep at Bayern.

Ten Haag did well as coach at Go Ahead Eagles

Ten Haag killed it at Utrecht.

He is currently killing it at Ajax.

This is not a coincidence, the man is solid goods.

I'm ok with either of Ten Haag or Poch tbh (but I'm leaning towards Ten Haag). I try to be objective.

Are you sure ETH was Pep's assistant? I thought he coached the youth team at Bayern.

My comment wasn’t even about Xavi and Barca. It’s a general comment. And it applies to all top teams.

Man City, Liverpool, Bayern, etc.

If the players are not putting in the efforts…

If one player feels too big to do what’s asked of him…

… the system will not work.

Look at PSG and the wahala they are currently battling.
If Messi goes back to this Barcelona, is undroppable, and can’t be arsed to make an effort, they’ll crumble in no time.

This is apart from having the right players who, after putting in the effort, have the quality to play their positions well and execute their instructions correctly.

Quality has let Man Utd down too many times this season. See all the rubbish crosses they’ve been giving to Ronaldo? Ronaldo himself get for hand sef.

So, apart from having players who can’t be arsed to do their job, they also don’t have the quality to do their job well.

One of the first comments from Ralf when he arrived was about working hard and intensity which this team has lacked for a long time. The best teams in the world show this regularly.

You just might be right. If you include pensioners like Mata and Matic and malcontents like Martial, Rashford, Pogba et al it might be up to half.

One day we will have the DDG discussion but I think we have more pressing issues for now.

afrodoc:
Even if Pep or Klopp come in the first thing they will do is offload 1/3 to 1/2 of the team over 2 transfer windows.

This is the most important point I always stress in any arguments relating to Man utd but I think 1/2 is minimum.

CrystalTiger:
ManUtd never wanted any player to go on loan without the loan club covering the player's wages in full..

It almost runied Martial's loan but Sevilla later bulged..Palace didn't..

I read Donny one of the reasons he picked Everton over palace is it meant he wouldn't have to move house. His gf is pregnant.

LostMyZeal:
Passes like that are mostly from one of the double pivots

Agreed, but I think the make up of our squad means those passes are not expected from them.

LostMyZeal:
If you saw Alcantara's ground pass that went to Jota yesterday, then think quietly about how often McFred attempted such move from deep within


This is what we keep saying about our midfield! We lack such creative moves there, and that's the reason why our strikers don't get the ball

Imagine if Alcantara had played a side pass to a teammate ... wetin for happen

What's even worse is that even if Arsenal drop points along the way, can we make a strong case for ourselves with the inconsistency and all


And what about Tottenham who are within reach? What's their next fixtures like

Omo... don't be surprised if you see Conte and his boys for UCL next season sha.

This season, the fight for every position is going down to the wire

That type of pass is more the responsibility of Pogba/Bruno rather than McFred to be honest.

afrodoc2:
How will CR7 and Cavani start together? Who will be the CF and who will play on the wings? Both of them are useful at this stage mainly in the box but we need 2 wide men and only 1 CF. There has to be balance to the line up or else we will get overrun in midfield.

I think it should be CR7, Sancho, and (since Rashford has lost all form) Elanga. Cavani and CR7 should be for emergency purposes for the last 10 to 20 minutes if we are chasing a goal.

Apart from CR and Sancho, Cavani is the only other attacker I trust at the moment. But I do understand your point.

eph12:
Fred seems to enjoy games against Spurs. We need both Mctom and Bruno back against AM if not it may be a different story

I would go with Fred McTom and Bruno to start with CR ,Cavani and Sancho. Matic and Rashford can sub on.

Matic has the perfect brain and passing for the role we need but he just can't move. We need a 23 year old Matic right now and I would be happy.

I'm actually glad Pogba will leave this summer. Best thing for all concerned. But so should Matic and Mata. Just imagine Ole wanted to add a Longstaff to this team. Smh.

afrodoc2:
That is Kobbie Mainoo. Person wey I don dey sell him shares already. If you wan buy I go sell to you at discount.

Can I have some more info before I purchase these shares?

AWB don win shirt back from Dalot?

KingAlabi:
Honestly Ralph has made us quite unbeatable

8wins, 8 draws, 1 loss (in FT)

although we draw too much, if our attackers are more clinical we can be better.

Out of his 17 games in charge he has lost once in FT though.

And these are the players he met here, what if he does his own transfers?

If we can't get ten Haag this summer, I rather keep Ralph there.

I no need poch, potters, Rodgers and the likes abeg.

This record from those games was the bare minimum given the fixtures.

nitrogen:
Hmmmmm

Everyone just dey sub Bruno.

smh

One thing that has been consistent under Ralf is the fact that we have been missing chances at a ridiculous rate. Obviously we haven't played good teams in that run but we seems to create more and miss nearly as much.

I think it's just rotation for Maguire. He'll be back in the lineup for next match.

Ellexy:
I wonder where una dey get this confidence and arrogance from? This team will disgrace you oo

I dey wonder if na the same man utd I dey watch most times.

Sancho has really arrived him the last 5 or si matches.

Lindelof excellent for that 2nd goal.
Good header from Maguire from the corner. I might play lottery today since we scored from that corner.

Pogba been good too. CR should have scored that tap in. Shaw's passing still very frustrating.

We probably have the hardest remaining fixtures.

Are we still rolling out excuses for this group of players?

Reports that most of the squad want Pochetino as the new manager. So I would definitely not get Poch in.

nitrogen:
As long as there are signs of progressive football, and we make top 4 and/or win a trophy (FA or Carling). Not sure any reasonable fan would expect him to come win the EPL in his first season or drag top 3 with Liverpool, City and Chelsea.

This will not happen because no one cares about progress. Its all about results. We're creating more chances under Ralf but no one cares because the results aren't good enough.

Anyone think there's a chance we can sell Maguire to Newcastle for £50m?

Pogba

Lana1:
Another day to watch this club play rubbish

I'm preparing myself

James Garner should get a chance in the first team next season. There's definitely space in the midfield.

afrodoc2:
Salah gets a lot of disrespect sha.

Yup. I'm not even a Salah fan but what he has been doing a Liverpool is no joke. Mane has been able to have a off season here and there. Salah has not.

Mrviktor:
In the first half it wasn't slow at all

U can watch the highlights.

Ronaldo had like 4 chances in the first half.
But all his shots were straight to the keeper.

And d square passes were too close to the keeper as well.

Rashford had like 2 on on ones too.

Bruno missed a sitter and his shooting was very off...


The performance wasn't horrible.

The decision making was d big problem.

I enjoyed Mac and pogba too..



Shaw was a big waste on that left.

Varane was very solid.




The biggest shocker was our corner kicks...

Not sure why you are shocked about our corners. We have been an absolute disgrace on corners all season.

I don't think we should crossing from corners anymore. Seems a waste.

elampiro:
They didn't just tell the news, they provided screenshots.

My mistake. I only checked Rashford who is still not following him.
