  • Yes, amazing how history is rewritten to make EtH look good. Before Klopp took over Liverpool finished in top-4 only once in previous five years, otherwise they were 6 to 8th. Before EtH took over United finished in top four in 3 of 5 previous...
  • The likes of Shaw and Rashford at the start of EtH tenure were much better players than when they made debuts under LvG. So if you give manager most of the credit for player improvement as you do for EtH then Ole, LvG and JM did well to improve...
  • Yep, depending on the exact definition of “first team squad” we have only around half of the first team squad (10-12 players) left from Ole times, 5-6 players from Jose, 2-3 from LvG and no one from Moyes. People sometimes act as if there has...
  • Maybe some of it is still due to long time we had when we knew that our manager is one of the greats so if anything went wrong tended to absolve him. But in general it seems to be a very pronounced case of endowment bias - irrationally...

  • Well put. The way many find excuses for manager and manager only and not for others is astonishing. The players never get any slack for playing under constantly changing/not good enough managers/possibly having personal problems etc etc - 1-2...
  • I think the point here should be that over the last 20 years there have been quite a few managers that once made CL semifinals with teams who are normally not expected to reach CL latter stages, and most of them either did nothing at all or too...
  • Here is how a Manchester United manager should be properly, objectively assessed. Manager and Players In general, all positives are due to the manager’s brilliant work, all negatives are due to players being not good enough, lazy and entitled...
  • If we drop to 15th place you will have people arguing that our squad is championship level and EtH is doing well to keep us above relegation zone.
  • Imagine we had to sell a world-class striker last summer. Half of this forum would have excused EtH for being in relegation fight. Heck, even if we sold Rashford after last season he would have gained a mythical status of a „brilliant player with...
