Given the answers so far, i feel like this question could be rephrased into something among the lines of: "When was the last time Real Madrid did something incredibly stupid?". Edit: As for Carlo doing bad in the league, that's only a half truth. For example when he was at Milan in the early...

Barca's tiki-taka was a prime example on how to beat it. You need to have an excellent passing game, and an excellent pressing game. Over 90 minutes, the park the bus defence is prone to mistake, somebody will break formation at the wrong time due to non stop pressing, and that's when the good...

Would it? Doesn't seem like the kind of forward that would suit the Pep machine, too tall to sit in the front seat.

If it was easier, you would have had more, which you don't.

That is not true at all, if you look at our spending in recent years. We can afford good players and managers alike, we just don't seem to contract either ones.

Give Allegri two years at United, with the budget you have he will have you challenging for the title in year two guaranteed. The guy is a world class coach, and the myth about him playing negative football is pure nonsense. When he had good players, he played 'lovely on the eyes' football...

Nobody in particular really. Samu was suppose to play the role of a second striker, drop down and collect the ball/link the play to the final third where Piatek was suppose to be. Instead more often than not Piatek was either dropping in the mid to get the ball he wasn't receiving, or drifting...

He complained in the last press conference that the players don't understand his tactics, that they are not suited for it, and he needs to make some adjustments. We shall see whatever that means, but what's for sure is that he is one stubborn mofo. He had better players on the bench from the...

I honestly can't believe we managed to look worse than under Gattuso. I really hope its just a case of the players failing to adapt to a new system, but as failures go this was quite spectacularly: - Not a single pre season game won. - Not a single shot on target in the first match of the season.

That was not very solid, it was not crap but that's about it. You were no better than Wolves, your play in the final third is slower than a snail going up a tree. The similarities with my Milan are shockingly striking: - Fans attributing above average play to solid playing. - Hiring past...

If you have Kante fit you have a chance, otherwise it will be a massacre, and not a counter attacking masacre like you suffered against United. You have a pretty good counter attacking flow yourselves, could have easily score a few that way in the United game. If you manage to take the initial...

VAR isn't perfect, but I can tell you from experience in Italy that it did more good, than harm. For one it drastically decreased paranoia against top teams that 'always get favours from the ref'. The other thing to note is that it doesn't fragment the game that much, so no need to worry...

A quick recap from a neutral point of view: In the first 15 minutes, the main difference between Chelsea and United was confidence. Lampard had his team out there playing like they are all Messi clones, while Solskjaer did the exact opposite. There was zero confidence in their play, and the 25%...
