Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?

Laurent Robert and amazing long range and/or acrobatic goals. That man could have had his own goal of the season competition every season when he was at Newcastle.

Not that I can tell. Quaresma's shooting with the outside of his foot is another weird omission from this thread so far.Haven't read through the thread, has anyone mentioned Fellaini and his chest control?

In fairness he was quality at one on ones with mostly everyone. It was what generally occurred afterwards which was the problem.Aaron Lennon at one on ones with Patrice Evra
Am quite surprised no one has mentioned Kante‘s aerial dominance. The man wins duels against significantly taller opposition.

Aerial dominance? He wins 30% of his aerial duels, that's not dominance.Am quite surprised no one has mentioned Kante‘s aerial dominance. The man wins duels against significantly taller opposition.

Sinisa Mihajlovic's corners were quite incredible if you watched Italian football. He's good at freekicks as well but the corners had a unique lowish trajectory and whip and curl on them you don't see from others or if you do it's a one off from a hundred taken which have a similar vicious bend. He could do these at will.
I remember one match he did about 3-4 in on go from the corner flag.
Ultimately whether its a free kick or corner, Miha had this ability to hit a lowish trajectory very hard that could dip or curl then hang in the air that was a joy to watch. A true technician.
Can't find a corner comp but you can see many of his freekicks with a similar feature.
Worth watching, when the Italian league was magical.
