DSG replied to the thread Viktor Gyökeres.Vlahovic to us?

DSG replied to the thread Viktor Gyökeres.I don’t disagree with any of the actual financial analysis. Sure, Gyokeres will cost more, it’s a bigger swing. And you have an issue in moving him on if he fails, all true. Delap isn’t available, as you mention. I’d be happy to bring him in as...

DSG replied to the thread Viktor Gyökeres.Exactly. Delap, Osihmen, Sesko, whoever we CAN get, gotta be better than Hojlund

DSG replied to the thread Viktor Gyökeres.I actually don’t think aerial goals are a big part of Amorim’s system… he wins about 50% of duels, but he’s in the 16th percentile of aerials won. Which tells me the system doesn’t create a lot of aerial balls into the box. On the other hand...

DSG replied to the thread Viktor Gyökeres.There was a pretty long feature article on him awhile ago, talking about his rise to stardom. It really started 3 or 4 seasons ago with Coventry. Maybe it was a puff piece, but his mentality to be the best really stood out to me. There’s a line...

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.I get it. Let the dust settle. And depressing. We all need a mental health break!

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.I think we need a poll @golden_blunder @Solius I agree with this.

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.Klopp had Can, Milner, Coutihno, Firmino, Lallana, Henderson, Benteke… we have Garnacho Hojlund, Bruno….

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.He’s not. SAF was 11th, started in Nov of 1986. The worst thing would be to compare him to SAF. It would be nice to find the next great Man Utd manager… SAF wasn’t Busby either. We don’t know if he will work out.

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.My point is that good managers / coaches come from all kinds of leagues. It’s not a defining characteristic of a successful coach. PL league knowledge is definitely an advantage, but not the only attribute. Big Sam knew the PL like few before...

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.Then there is Jose, and Nuno and others that have fared just fine in the PL. Don’t get me wrong, he absolutely has accountability here, just not 100% accountability. More like 30% for me.

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.Alternate theory: Hojlund is so abysmal in movement and finishing and hold up play, no one could’ve gotten us past mid table with him as a first choice striker. Zirkzee injured means he really had no other options. Secondly, many of the leaked...

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.I feel like Real Madrid could play a 3-4-2-1 pretty well… They have enough in the squad. I think Hojlund might be the worst first choice striker for Man United in living memory.
-
DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.It seems the polarization exists already, but you might be right, putting up a poll might ratchet it up a few levels.

DSG replied to the thread Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach.I’m currently in favor of keeping him. But, we need nuance here in the Caf and I wouldn’t be disappointed if he was sacked. Just looking at his PL record and I have the urge to hurl. It’s not fair that this is not his squad. It’s not fair that...
