  1. A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino

    Yeah I'm not doubting they had some bad patches from time to time after their peak season in 16-17, but I think overall their football was still good until their collapse in 2019. I wouldn't mind it if the club for Nagelsmann ahead of Pochettino, from what I've heard he's a very talented modern...
  2. A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino

    I wouldn't agree that they were "shite for the last two years". 16-17 was their peak performance wise but they still put in a lot of fantastic performances in the 17-18 season. Dominating home wins against Real Madrid, Liverpool, United and Arsenal and a 3-1 away win to Conte's Chelsea come to...
  3. A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino

    You're welcome, buddy.
  4. A serious look at Mauricio Pochettino

    If Klopp is so great then why did the world fall apart for Dortmund during the first half of the 2014-15 season? In 13-14 they came 2nd but after 19 matches of the 14-15 season they were rock bottom and had only won 3 matches. Surely Klopp can't such a good manager after all... The truth is...
  5. Best to write yesterday’s game off as irrelevant

    I'm trying to show you that Crystal Palace's away record or overall record against the big sides isn't as impressive as you claim. Like I mentioned in my original reply to you, Palace have only won two matches against the top 8 sides in the last 13 months. Both of them coming against us at Old...
  6. Best to write yesterday’s game off as irrelevant

    The thing is, it's really difficult to compare managers in this way because most clubs generally change their managers on an annual or biannual basis. Hodgson is one of the longest serving current managers in the Premier League. Out off the current managers only Dyche, Klopp and Guardiola have...
  7. Best to write yesterday’s game off as irrelevant

    That's how pretty much every club outside the conventional top 6 plays against the top 6 away from home. There's nothing special about Crystal Palace here. Even in 18-19 their away record against the top 6 was very similar to last season. They gained 7 points, only 2 points more than last...
  8. Best to write yesterday’s game off as irrelevant

    That link is from over a year ago. Do you know how many games Crystal Palace have won away from home against the conventional top 6 since their 2-1 win against us last year? Zero. Thats right, zero. Their overall record away from home against the top 6 wasn't even that impressive last season...
  9. Man Utd set to appoint Director of Football (when hell freezes over)

    We've actually given our managers a lot of players that they wanted. Managers don't always get every single player they ask for, so in some cases the scout department must come up with players to go after. I posted the other day in another thread pointing to many examples where Woodward and the...
  10. Should we just hope a new manager fixes it

    It's fairly obvious though that Moyes, van Gaal and Mourinho were able to pick certain players, it was not always just about a certain profile. Often they had specific names in mind. And sometimes the players they wanted were simply unattainable. Moyes specifically asked for Fabregas, Bale...
  11. The “Ole In” Brigade

    1st year - Took over a Liverpool side in October (so no pre-season) that was playing poorly under Rodgers and in 10th place, ended the season in 8th place and went into two cup finals. Played some damn good football over the season as well. 2nd year - 2nd place about halfway through the season...
  12. A tactical shift from Ole? Shirley not

    I started to read the article but stopped right there. Like City, Liverpool and France all rolled into one :lol: Solskjær's level is Scandinavia, not the Premier League.
  13. Is Pogba as good as gone?

    I don't think its common for clubs to give daily/weekly detailed information on injured players. But in this case there actually has been some detail given, not much but some. The club posted this statement in October for example...
  14. Paul Pogba | 2019/20 Performances

    And Pogba's solution to that is not to play a whole football match for almost a whole season?
  15. The “Ole In” Brigade

    Lets compare Klopp and Solskjær then shall we? After 18 games this season we're 8th with 25 points and our goal difference is +4. After 18 games in the 2016-17 season, Klopp's first full season, he had them in 2nd place with 40 points and goal difference at +24. Liverpool ended their season...
