Which game will be ten Hag's version of Leicester 2014?

[horsechoker]

When his bubble is burst and he switches to a 7-2-1 formation.

 

[Kaos]

To add to that - when can we expect Harry Maguire to start taking corners?

 

[ArmchairCritic]

The real question is which game will he have Phil Jones taking corners for us again?

 

[Bubz27]

Palace on Tuesday.

Jones is still here…

 

[Kaos]

Jones is still here…

Won't likely ever start, nor will he likely be at the club. It'll be slabhead pinging them in to Lisandro DeVito.

You just never know with this club.

 

[Swedish_Plumber]

I’d forgotten about this bullshit game. The di Maria goal was enough to win a title let alone a loss to Leicester

 

[Samid]

Is it time to burst "Haggy's" bubble?

 

[11101]

Depends on the ref. That game would never have happened if Clattenburg did his job properly. It was one of the worst refereeing performances I've ever seen in the league both for it's glaring incompetence, and the effect it had on the future.

Which game is going to be us being Leicester of 2014?

 

[sullydnl]

A different comparison might be the Leicester and Everton games in Pep's first season at City, where he got smashed 4-2 and 4-0. There will definitely be games this season where we get hit hard for goals.

The only worthwhile point of note is to FreeFrenkie.

He is being held against the will of his 16m yoyo's and must be allowed to benefit from human rights.

We should march on the Dutch royal family.

Everything else is secondary.

I know this isn't a serious thread but i do wonder if we'll get done on the counter more often with the style of play. It was frustrating to have 65% of the ball in the LVG days and be in control of the game and then get sucker punched.

Brighton

I reckon this season you'll see us give and receive some batterings.

 

[Sandikan]

The first time he realises that most teams have 5 or 6 aerially strong players and watches us try and defend 15 set pieces in a game with only one player who can head it.

 

[Ali Dia]

We will never lose again

 

[horsechoker]

We will never lose again

Famous last words

Once Haggy gets Freddy and Frankie flying that’s it EL > PL > CL > Almost as good as Liverpool, the greatest team in the history of the game

Do people realise that the next 27 games after that game our record was;

Won 18
Draw 6
Lost 3 (Man City, Southampton, Swansea)

Beat liverpool home and away. Tottwnham, City and Arsenal wins at home. we started and ended the season badly but the middle part which was after that game was actually pretty decent. If Ten hag can replicate that and not have silly losses like the swansea home and away ones we suffered that year…

 

[NinjaZombie]

That terrible refereeing decision did us all in. Lost the game, shrank Van Gaal's testicular fortitude and ended Rafael's United career.

 

[Pexbo]

Brentford

 

[U99ted]

Brentford

Not really, we actually started that game well before collapsing.

 

[bosnian_red]

We didn't do anything before conceding

 

[The_Midfielder]

We didn't do anything before conceding

Yeah but that team had old Falcao, De Maria, old Rooney,
Who do we have now? Old Ronaldo..

 

[SuperiorXI]

Brentford

Yep. Not only will he change things now, he must change things. It'll be a back five at least from here on out.

 

[bosnian_red]

Not sure why you are quoting me or what that has to do with what I said...

 

[klsv]

We go for it!

 

[Idxomer]

Definitely not this one, we were great against Leicester and Clattenburg fecked us big time.

 

[U99ted]

We didn't do anything before conceding

Exactly, the slightly joking point that I made is we were 3-1 up against Leicester before an infamous collapse. Versus Brentford we’re just shit from the start. Hopefully we do the Leicester bit and score a bunch in the second half!

 

[Beans]

Yep, Vardy foul on Rafael, usually don't remember that stuff, but I remember that call.
