We have a lot of dumb players. Fred, AWB and Mcsauce; just to name a few.

Bro, I am seriously pissed...

We are playing like a small team.
Exactly! Like we are Burnley playing against prime Barca. That mentality tells me a lot about Carrick.

You would have preferred we were losing 3-0 by now. Good one
Player for player, there isn’t that much difference between both clubs. The difference is in the ‘coaching’ and ‘management’.
No United team should ever be set up to play this way, not with the talents we have.
I don’t blame Carrick though because he hasn’t had time to impress his philosophy on the players.

It’s like Chelsea has two extra players on the pitch. We need to count them.
Lol. They are well drilled with great off the ball movements and very comfortable with the ball.

What we need to understand is that it's more about damage control. There is nothing to build on
Simple! We didn’t come here to win. We set up to keep them at bay. That mindset alone irritates me.

Lmaoo.. how will they neutralize against us when we’ve been playing sh!t?

Btw, it looks like the plan isn’t working sef
It won’t work! Because the 3 idiots we have in that midfield can either break off play effectively nor control a game.
I wish us goodluck though

It's a sensible decision.

Ronaldo scores goals.

But if you watch him closely, you'll notice he offers nothing else apart from that.

The thing is that scoring goals, if it comes at the expense of a thin, easily exposed midfield, is futile.

That's why playing Ronaldo with Bruno is like suicide.

That being said, it being a sensible decision, doesn't mean it will avoid defeat.
This team is set up to keep Chelsea at bay and not to win a game. I will never be down with such mindset.

elampiro:
The lineup is tailored for a physical play. I can still see Jones in the bench
I see no intelligence around that decision really. More or less to just gets legs around to stiffen Chelsea’s attack and transition.
We are basically playing 3 holding midfielders who can barely contribute anything going forward.
I support the team though. GGMU!

That's how we said Tuchel parks the bus yet his team is among the highest with ball possession this season
Let’s revisit this topic after the game. None of the 3 midfielders is comfortable with the ball or able to dictate the tempo or control a game.
I wish them goodluck but I am not convinced
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by slimghost(m): 4:41pm On Nov 28, 2021
This Carrick seems to be a bigger loser than Ole. Hope this parking of trailer works for the Imp.

Illimitable:
So you would take Poch who has won nothing meaningful in his career over Zizou that won La Liga(twice) and UCL(3 times in a row).

The only thing you can guarantee with Poch is finishing in the top 4. United won’t stay satisfied with finishing top 4 with the squad at their disposal. Anything short of winning the league/CL will be considered failure and I don’t think Poch can challenge Pep/Klopp/Tuchel.

Was it not the same Poch that allowed Leicester to win the league in 2015/16 even though he had a better squad than Leicester? Poch is shit. He’s like Moyes. Just because he can thrive in a team that has top 4 as it’s target does not mean he’s ready to take a massive club like United to a league title.


Zidane knows what it takes to win the big trophies, Poch does not have a clue. His team will play good football and then lose the vital games when it matters. I already experienced that under Ole(bottling 6 semifinals against minnows). If Zidane is available, he should be the #1 choice. A proper winner should be managing United, not apprentices like Ole or Poch.
Zidane started his first team management career in 2016 while Poch started around 2009 or so. Dunno who is the apprentice here.
You are entitled to your choice but I’d stick with a prove EPL manager than a one hit wonder manager. Ladan Bosso would have won trophies with that Madrid side.
There is a reason he is not keen on coming to United while Poch is. Seems one trusts in his own abilities while the other seems to trust the players; reason he is hell bent on going to PSG.

Spurs with Spurs were not renowned for their pressing. The one match that caught my attention was a game against City where they beat City 2 vs 0...After that game, I started believing in Poch as I had never seen a team press City into submission but it was more a one off, they resorted to other methods in subsequent games...

I want a manager that will have us pressing like City, Liverpool and Bayern and have us keep the ball well like Ajax, City and Barcelona...

Poch will easily make the top 4 but what happens afterwards? Will he deliver the trophies? That's the big question...
The first sentence is wrong bro. Poch’s Spurs were known for their high pressing when he took over.
You might want to check that out again

Tactically Poch is far better than Solksjaer. We've seen what he can do in EPL. He didn't come to EPL to relegate Southampton or fail with Spurs Project.

He was unlucky to lift trophy with Spurs but he tried, even took them to UCL Final..... that's huge. How many times Pep has taken City to UCL Final?!

Most of us want Ten Hag, but is it better than Poch tactically? We shouldn't forget he's managing in Netherland where Lingard can easily become GOAT if he moves there next Season.

Poch is tested and trusted in EPL. He was replaced by Mou and same Mou didn't make any Difference. Poch made it possible for Spurs to build new Stadium, coz he was able to manage the Club without adding new Players.

Poch..... please don't let me down as Ole let KingAlabi and Handelex down, jez in case you get the Job.


Lest I forget....................

Exactly! I am more comfortable with someone with EPL experience. Not like he failed at both clubs. He is even not doing badly at PSG.
Already won a trophy and over 11 points clear at the top of the league.
I want Poch. At least I know what his football philosophy looks like.

Still not sure about the emboldened.

To me,Zidane is making excuses to avoid the challenge and waiting safely for the France job.

Language? Poch hired a translator while at Southampton and kept using him for the early parts of his tenure at Spurs (CAVEAT:I AM NOT ENDIRSING POCH IN ANY WAY O. I BEG UNA)

Using his wife to say he doesn't want to move to Englad etc.

I'm not entirely sold on him till I see him do something outside Real.

Just my take
I wonder how people would choose Zizou over Poch. Zizou’s only success came in a star studded Madrid side.
I really want to see him succeed outside Madrid first. I have seen Poch at Soton, Spurs and PSG. He might not be the best out there but I will gladly take him over Zizou.
We need that mad pressing. Time for those lazy ass players to work their arses off.
