The thing is, they can keep the ball. They just can't do anything creative with it. The manager should have asked them to play accordingly.

Not possible. No English manager has ever won before.

Yeah. He's overrated, if anything. Not that that's a bad thing, necessarily. I'd prefer the internet be overly nice to our players rather than overly nasty. But it's very noticeable when he was in with a shout for being the worst player on the pitch and yet his player performance thread barely...

According to the BBC 44 people have died in the 'conflict' and the 'days of violence'. Not according the BBC, all 44 were Palestinian. It's not a conflict, it's a slaughter.

United can only do reasonable business if the other club is willing to do the same. For too long, everyone has had us over a barrel and we've happily accepted it. At the moment, we're still suffering the hangover from the Woodward era where every club in Europe thought they could ride roughshod...

On paper. United have the better players. The difference between the two sides was the tactics (EtH's fault) and the coaching (not EtH's fault at this stage of the season). I like his ideas. And I think they'll be successful in the long run. But he also has a stubbornness that's reminiscent of...

I'm not sure that's the right take on this. FdJ is countering Barcelona's legal move by sticking to his contract until they give in on the deferred wages. Assuming there's no case to answer about 'criminality', he only needs to call the club's bluff. After that, they can part ways and end the...

I think this is a fair point. Better attacking players alone won't fix our frailties on the counter or (especially) at RB. Dalot is just as big a problem as McFred. In fact, I'd go so far as to say that McFred can at least be turned into serviceable shithousers like the last 3 years. Not sure...

That's a bit harsh, I think. EtH isn't undeserving of criticism, of course. He got out-thought by Potter. But, on the pitch, there were signs of improvement in all the areas you mentioned, imo. Although United were at fault for individual errors on both the player and management side, there...

It's just as much Van De Beek's fault for being worse than him in the eyes of 3 different managers. McTominay is a free academy graduate on low wages. His place, by rights, in the squad is as a bench option unless all the big money signings shit the bed. That's what ended happening (Pogba £90m...

It wasn't a McFred midfield. It was a FreTominay midfield. For some reason, Fred was played at the base where he was out-of-position, and McTominay was played as an AM where he's also unsuited. EtH played them the wrong way around, and only rectified it in the second half when he took Fred off...

What's your angle then? If he was the same person but born different, he'd suddenly be a good manager?

Judge people by their ability and don't exclude them because of their identity.

Unfortunately, people like you would have a problem with black managers for the same reason.

It was Fred who played in the FdJ role today (the 'connector'). For some reason, EtH asked McTominay to play like Kaka bursting into attacking midfield at every opportunity.
