That's kind of my point - they have a proud tradition of being defensive and practical. It's just weird thinking about a positive, possession-focused coach being at the helm there. I seem to remember them not liking Sarri at all despite him...

Such a great goal from Thuram. Just waits for the defenders to block their own keeper's line of sight and places it. Must be great clinching the title away to your biggest rival and on your own turf simultaneously.

Fred?

But Juve never seem to get on with these newfangled fancy fresh coaches do they? And looking at their squad, I can see maybe 3 players who fit the playing style Motta has earned plaudits with at Bologna. It's not like they've got the finances to...

The latter. I don't think that's a silly question at all by the way, I spent years wondering.

I thought Motta to Barca was a banker too and I'm not sure Juve is a good move for him at all.

Ah I get you. Fortunately those days look to be done.

Lucumi looks really good for a left footer. Loves a tackle, excellent on the ball, and very comfortable stepping into midfield. Just played a very good game against Roma.

This makes it sound a bit like you want us to steer clear of any manager who has ever once rated a current Man United player.

Literally the first Blackburn player I think of doesn't make your list. And he was alright.

He's a bitter codger who has very much earned his detractors, but it's pretty clear to me that he makes an interesting point there. Every manager we've had has been given 'full control' but I suspect that none of them really wanted it.

"My dream job description – because sometimes you have a job title and another thing is the job description – is ‘head coach’,” he says. “That’s my dream. To be the coach. To be the guy who works with the team, focus on developing players...

Yeah I think that's kind of fair. He does try to call them out on the pitch, but he just gets cautioned for the slightest of outbursts compared to his peers. It's clear that the place to fight the officials is in the media though, and it's a...

Just to add to this, Arteta has signed 25 players at Arsenal not including loans. We tried to do a big overhaul under LVG and then seem to have decided that big overhauls never work and we should only sign 3/4 players a year at most. Even in...

That's a very, very fair comment. I think all I can really say is that all of our collapses and leads lost over the last few weeks have happened when the two players I've mentioned were withdrawn. It's crazy that we seem to be so reliant on a...
