I feel the people who say something like this are those that have nothing else objective left to say but still wants to have the last word. So they say stuff like this that cannot be falsified immediately Because objectively, from the eye test, from stats, from analytics, there is no possible...

Probably not, but why would that matter? It's not like Murtough wouldn't consult Ten Hag's opinion first on the players and just extend whoever he himself deems good enough.

No, I think he's saying they're both wrong. But he didn't gave a feck about the first one, would be weird to suddenly give a feck about the 2nd one.

Are we a circus? Why does being acrobatic even matter? 2 keepers that made saves from the exact same shot, but one does it more acrobatically than the other, does he get to negate the next goal conceded or something? There is absolutely nothing De Gea is elite at, including shotstopping. He is...

Do you genuinely believe this or are just being willfully obtuse?

You're right if you exclude United. United have done it twice (with one of them being the treble)

He did clarify that in the clip..

D > C > B > A

Because we all know Jassim is just the face for the state of Qatar and Qatar do have experience running a football club, in fact said club has been more successful than us in the past 5 or so years. Surely no one believes that he's just a "private" Qatari investor with no affiliations to the...

I feel GK is the most urgent position we need an upgrade on. The marginal improvement of getting an elite ball playing keeper overshadows whatever improvement we can get from a new midfield or striker. We can make do with Rashford CF, we can make do with Eriksen partnering Casemiro. We are not...

De Gea has had one top quality season; 17/18 and has gone downhill since then. This was backed by both eye test and stats. I think he had something ridiculous like +12 PSxg-GA (as a comparison Allison now has 9.3) that season and that has been declining significantly since then. He averages...

I'd do better and name 20. Click on the link, look under Top 20 for shot stopping and Non shot stopping score. Take your pick, and no, you don't have to waste time looking for De Gea, he's not on that list.

If you're being ironic, there are numerous analysis done comparing him other GKs across Europe. This one a few pages back for example. DDG is literally elite at nothing. Nostalgia of the 17/18 season won't change that. Even if we want just a pure shot stopping keeper (which we wouldn't), we...

As good as DDG? Why are you implying like he's some sort of elite shot stopper? Under every shot stopping metric, he's AT BEST average. It has been that way for about 5 years now. The last season he has been genuinely good in is 17/18. So DDG is; 1) An average shot stopper 2) An extremely poor...

You're not wrong if our manager is still Jose. But it's not. For all the talk about needing the manager to be ruthless, literally the only argument that can be made for extending him are from sentimental reasons.
