Impersonating Pogba.
From what both managers have achieved it's easy to say Ancelotti is far better manager. No manager has won 3 CLs except one. Yeah his domestic record isn't great though.Well, you kind of implied it by saying Carlo being *far* better. I don't really share this notion. He's more experienced, but Tuchel otoh knows the league and its players far better, and apart from that, Carlos domestic record isn't *that* impressive.
I expect a harder title race than last season, and a Dortmund championship wouldn't come off as a surprise.
The Charity Shield was the first United match I took my son to. He was 8 and when the 3rd goal went in he put his little head down and cried . The same match my dad proclaimed that he was faster than Stam ( he was 72 at the time ) but how quickly things changed . It seems a lifetime ago nowTrue. We did not start that season to great to be honest though. Two draws in the league against Leicester and West Ham after the Charity Shield defeat.
Sell Rooney, Sack Fergie.. #WengerOut?It's all over, sack and sell everything
Keeping players fit will be a big bonus, we always seem to have lots of injuries, so to start a season with a full quota will be great. Still have severe doubts about Jones, Rojo and Memphis though.Mourinho will have learnt a lot about the team from this match, much more than the walk in the park vs Wigan. Not bothered about the result, I'd rather save the performances for Bournemouth.
As long as we manage to get through pre-season injury free and relatively unscathed, I'll be delighted.
Bailly looks like he's going to be a super signing for us, btw. A type of defender we've not had since Vidic.
Yep - Pogba hatrickJust out of work. Did we win?
That is an opinion, not a fact. Carlo had a far longer career, and won his CLs with a legendary Milan and a brilliant Real side. Things you hardly can hold against Tuchel.Nobody said Tuchel isn't a good manager. We are saying Ancelotti is a much better manager which is a fact.
Ancelloti has a poor league record actually for a manager of his caliber. The Bayern squad is significantly stronger than Dortmund's and should see them through but it's a stretch too far to completely rule out a Dortmund challenge.Nobody said Tuchel isn't a good manager. We are saying Ancelotti is a much better manager which is a fact.
Yeah!Just out of work. Did we win?
It wasn't theirs either lol, Reus, Gotze and Schurrle to add to the attack, devastating.Got a bit of a pasting but then it wasn't exactly our 1st XI...
Agreed, a really mediocre one + injury proneThe over-reactions are amazing. More amazing than the fact that Rojo is employed as a footballer - he is one of the worst players I have ever seen in our shirt.
The problem we have is that in early pre-season the teams get changed left right and centre, that is why they are just for fitness levels. Dortmund had better fitness levels and some continuity to their team. It helps a lot.Pre season is about match fitness so I don't really care about the results. In a real match competition we will see the truth of Jose's tactic and system. However the players were so poor today as an individual.
Don't we all?Keeping players fit will be a big bonus, we always seem to have lots of injuries, so to start a season with a full quota will be great. Still have severe doubts about Jones, Rojo and Memphis though.
Never got out of second gear. Was like playing in a sauna.Okay, I just checked.
4-1.
It seems that our attacking problems remain. Scoring 1 goal per game.
Our squad is smaller this season, though, and there is a good chance some of our players might be a bit too satiated on a national level from 4 consecutive championships.Ancelloti has a poor league record actually for a manager of his caliber. The Bayern squad is significantly stronger than Dortmund's and should see them through but it's a stretch too far to completely rule out a Dortmund challenge.
If I remember at the time, Portuguese teams fans were surprised we signed him.Agreed, a really mediocre one + injury prone
Never understood that signings, a classic lvg brain fart.
Not to mention the pitch, which could have been a potato farm a week ago for all I know.Never got out of second gear. Was like playing in a sauna.
I'm going to go ahead and say that we will get Dembele while Mor will end up at Stokecelona.Hm, I think that Emre Mor looks pretty good or Dembele, I've not decided yet. I'm sure we'll go 50/50 with Bayern getting Dembele and us getting Mor.
Not much except close down the attacking players and position yourself properly when defending. Rojo had a pretty rough game, he got clowned for one of the other goals too, a real ankle-breaker.They played like it was their cup final. i mean that fourth goal was ridiculous, not much you can do about it.
They were tailing us by just 5pts until the 2nd to last matchday in the previous season. Prepare to be quotedThere is no way this Dortmund team would finish even within 10 points the tally Bayern would end up stacking & you can quote me on that.
I agree with the first paragraph.No one should give a feck about the performance and the result. Sure, the performance was shite, but it means feck all. It's all about imroving the players' physical condition and Dortmund are clearly ahead in their preparations. It really showed.
Oh and this Slig guy is like a teenage schoolgirl that's just got her first period and hates everything and everyone as a result. It's not even remotely amusing.
Just stumlbed across the score - think that I might just pass on the recording.I set MUTV to record this morning, even though my job involves social media, i am going to try my best to aavoid the result and watch it when I get home
That's good news. Hopefully Jose doesn't experiment with Depay up front and Miki on the left this time. Pre season or not I don't want to lose this one.They've just had one pre-season game so far, a 1-0 loss v Bayern.
