Oh come on! £250m afterwards and he hits exactly the same brickwall as Ole at exactly the same time of the season. When the going gets hard and it hurts a little a lot of this team/squad go missing. And he has been using almost exactly the same tactics to win matches, quick forward play on the...

Its exactly the same as the 'better' Ole years, this squad hits a brick wall at exactly the same time in the season. Its mainly an issue of mentality, ETH is correct there, they give up far too easily when they have to fight for the right to play their football. There are many players in the...

And the exchange rate has currently gone the other way, thus reducing the sterling denominated debt. But honestly, do you think facts matter?

A lucky manager is often a good manager. ETH is exhibiting these attributes.

I think we have a fair idea of who they are from the players already at the club prior to ETH joining. Less than required unfortunately is the answer. Every season for the last few years the team/squad hits the buffers, its about the same time every season.

This is when we find out how good a coach/manager ETH is.

It felt like it was 9 men. Why was Sancho left on for so long, he was poor.

ETH is a very competent coach/manager. United have won a cup already and are in a good position to qualify for the CL. The UEFA Cup has some very good sides in the draw and City are in the FA Cup draw, so its not going to be easy to win either. Every team starts level at the start of the...

To hell with easy on the eye, lets just win the title. Press article the other day, were Arsenal following the Wenger model? Nope , much more GG.

Funny that , the ball is still spherical and the goals are still the same location and size.

ETH is not a coach over concerned by possession for possession sake. He says he likes quick football, he wants direct attacks from vertical passes. He is strong on transitions. Comparing him and say Pep, ETH is Bayern versus Pep's Barca. So expect him to go for players that Bayern would buy (...

There is only Casemiro, and he has probably said , correctly, to ETH that it shouldn't happen in his first season and he feels his English isn't good enough ( albeit Portugese and Spanish cover most of the team). Varane is injury prone, a GK cannot communicate enough. So ETH has taken the...

There was only one player starting on Sunday I would have changed if in ETH shoes, WB rather than DD, as we know Anfield is a place you have to defend well. Probably the first goal not scored with WB at RB covering his CH. That would have set up 2nd half differently and who knows.. But talking...

I would add that according to the WSJ there are a number of other private bids, some for outright purchase, as well as the two public ones. This is going to take some time to analyse by the bank, before access to the financials. Sale by the end of the season seems very optimistic to me. I think...
