Missed the game yesterday, how did you line up against City? Did you play 4411? With king back?
Had to rejig as Lerma was suspended and Gosling and Adam Smith injured so it was 5-4-1 breaking in attack into a kind of 5-2-3
Howe is a great pick. I forgot about him in the discussion about Tuchel but he still makes my shortlist of managers that are worthy of having a shot at developing our next PL winning side. I think he has every attribute we should look for in a manager. His side plays entertaining modern football, he is a meticulous, hard worker who always seems to get the best out of most of his players and even improve them. He also knows how to build a side that fits the style he wants to play. I get that a lot of fans wanted us to take a proven option with LvG and Mou after the failure that was Moyes but I genuinely believe the way for us out of the rut is to bring in a young manager with a clear understanding of how to build a team befitting his style of football and not just looks for the big names or players he has worked with before and I think he would be one of the managers who fit this bill perfectly.
Let's face it the club can only progress if Woodward is removed from any football matters. We can't have him not signing players because their name ain't big enough to sell enough shirts. If he is involved in football matters the rot will continue no matter what manager we hire.
Probably why they'd bring him in, in all honestly.
You're reaching with "almost". He won the second division, that's its. You are making out Everton are as small as Bournemouth. He took over a midtable team, and made them into a top 6 team. And his next to no budget is compared to the top 4, not the rest of the league
Like Jose?
Germany's a bit of a different case though in that, typically, there's only really one team who consistently expect to win the title. Obviously other clubs aim to do well and want to qualify for the CL, but there are very few who consistently find themselves in the top three/four, or who consistently expect to be there...as a result teams that drop down a bit might have to go for an option akin to Howe because they're struggling to attract big managers. Even although the PL can be unpredictable, the top six is generally quite predictable year-on-year now.
rather have him than another moyes. plus I said lots f success overseasLike Jose?
I'm in the same boat, initially I laughed off the idea but the more I read into it and the more I saw of his Bournemouth team and what he'd achieved there the more convinced I became. He ticks all my personal boxes of what a United manager should be.
His play style and if he is capable of building a team that fits that playstyle. So yes I agree, I personally am through with managers that are supposed to be a quick fix and a galactico signing every year that doesn't fit into the team or philosophy of the manager. This nonsense needs to stop.
Both Howe & Moyes might not be proven enough but what you are missing is that both have different philosophy and playing style, there is a good possibility that both will have different impact or effect on us.
Genuinely struggling to find any logic behind this. Howe plays better football and what he’s achieved with Bournemouth is a lot more impressive that anything Silva had done so far.
I'm the same, not necessarily Howe but we need to think outside the box next time. There has to be a future great manager out there just like there are players, we just need to identify him. The 'big name' options available are uninspiring and no more likely to do any better.
We're not going to attract the very best anyway, no matter who our manager is. Besides, the United "Glactico" policy so far has been an utter failure.
Agreed with the second part. We've also seen with Southgate for England that having an affable manager with fresh ideas can go a very long way.
And likewise I'm struggling to find any logic behind anyone wanting Howe
You'd have to say his transfer business since he came into the league has been great as well, gives me hope he'd not waste money like a lot of our post Fergie managers have. I'd put him ahead in terms of transfer dealings over the likes of Poch tbh
Maybe but you’ve got to be realistic here. Someone like Zidane who’s had an entire career playing and managing at massive clubs or Eddie Howe who’s barely been out of Bournemouthin his entire career.
