I wonder who the next of our young players will start to shine under ETH, Diallo ?
I thought I understood you, but disagreed. Now I’m not sure I even understand.From 8th to 7th or even 5th isn't an upgrade. That's beside the point that I don't agree that Tuchel is an upgrade whatsoever nor do I believe he can be a long-term manager here. A slight bump to top 4 with zero trophies then a complete collapse in the second season in which he goes out guns blazing and we're right back to square one.
Monetary reasons is a nonsensical argument since ETH is in the last year of his contract and it certainly wouldn't really cost that much to sack him. Not to mention he is apparently discussing a new contract.
Facts & stats don't say I'm wrong. In fact I'd argue ETH was in a better position than Klopp. Klopp left Dortmund at an all time low, ETH left Ajax at an all time high. It's as simple as that. You still harp about Klopp being more accomplished yet stats don't back you up, yet you conviniently use stats to showcase how this was supposedly our worst season ever. Hypocrisy at its finest.
You don't have to engage because you don't have any arguments that support your notion.
I'm just using your logic. You used stats as the be all end all of why the last season is our worst, which is a complete nonsense, and you refuse to budge from it because... well, looking at the numbers is all that matters. You continue to spout that last season was our worst campaign ever which is completely nonsensical. And I tried to explain to you why and you keep repeating the same thing over and over without anything to back it up (except just looking at the stats). But apparently same stats don't really appeal to you when it comes to the ETH/Klopp post-Ajax/Dortmund argument. Then they are unimportant.
You can keep repeating this over and over again until the cows come home. Won't make it true.
One match isn't an entire season.
Sigh. That was over 30 years ago. Football has moved on since then. Can we please stop using this lazy argument.SAF finished 12th in his third season and won nothing.
Are you one of those who wanted to sack Sir Alex?
Also, Bournemouth and Palace? Really? How can you be concerned about them and also think that ETH is the man for the job?!?Well it all depends on where the squad is. If we fail to address key issues by August, which seems entirely plausible with limited budget and no structure in place yet, that will also impact how we start the season.
There are some glaring weaknesses that need to be addressed. It’s a team that finished 8th last year and arguably it was higher than we deserved too. Many of the teams around us are going to improve, get healthier, get better players in. Bournemouth and Palace both finished below us last year but were actually better towards the second half of season so could be in contention.
If he isn't just a slightly polished Weghorst, I can imagine that working out well. Problem is I've little to no faith in ETH's ability to assess that, so really hope he's not the focal point of our interest.Why? Because he's dutch? This is a lazy correlation. Zirkzee has had a good season and was a big reason Bologna played so well so everyone can see why we'd be after him. He's a perfect option to dovetail with Hojlund as he offers something different and can play with Hojlund if needed too. Imagine 20 mins to go we need a goal and can have those two on the pitch. We didn't have that option last season. We haven't since Cavani was here with Martial on fire too.
I really don't think it needs to be explained why, does it?Why are you singling me out for that comment? I simply joined in today with the excuses we’ve already heard or are likely to hear.
Palace in particular have a strong team. Their front 3 is probably better than ours.Also, Bournemouth and Palace? Really? How can you be concerned about them and also think that ETH is the man for the job?!?
Why do these things need to be mutually exclusive?At some point even the naysayers will have to accept he ll be here for next season (barring a contract agreement ofc) and we can go back to also criticizing the players, the clubs management, and leaky OT roof.
Thread ban him mate. That'll show him.Any chance of you not posting like a newbie or a full time troll? There is enough shite polluting the thread as is.
No its not.Palace in particular have a strong team. Their front 3 is probably better than ours.
They just have a really good manager now, they looked pants under Vieira and Woy.No its not.
I know its all about Glasner right now but people get carried away too easily now. 10 good games and overreactions start.They just have a really good manager now, they looked pants under Vieira and Woy.
If ten Hag gets us relegated we'd need to have a serious think about whether he should be offered a new contract.If Fulham thrash us in the home opening match, questions about the manager’s management would be warranted.
Eze, Olise... I'd definitely take them both. Mateta v Hojlund, don't know, Mateta looked awesome towards the end of last season.No its not.
He won't get us relegated and barring a comfortable top 4 finish next season he's not getting a new deal if he signs one this year.If ten Hag gets us relegated we'd need to have a serious think about whether he should be offered a new contract.
No they wouldn't. It's one game.If Fulham thrash us in the home opening match, questions about the manager’s management would be warranted.
You should've heard the palace fans on talksport raving about viera ,after his appointment , he's different level to woy , you can see the patterns etc etc . 1 year later the same guys were phoning in calling him a clown begging for woy back .I know its all about Glasner right now but people get carried away too easily now. 10 good games and overreactions start.
I have seen alot of managers have new manager bounce, hell I saw it at United with Ole.
I think maybe not, his style won't work well in the Championship. Mourinho will be a better choice.If ten Hag gets us relegated we'd need to have a serious think about whether he should be offered a new contract.
Because you make it sound like it’s my every postI really don't think it needs to be explained why, does it?
Why are you even thinking or potentially worrying about the opening game already? are you ok?If Fulham thrash us in the home opening match, questions about the manager’s management would be warranted.
Because he is a United fan and that will be United's next official game? Why should it be weird to think about that?Why are you even thinking or potentially worrying about the opening game already? are you ok?
It's June 19th, it's what two months away? We don't have a clue what our squad will even look like, and instead of looking at it as an exciting fresh start, it's a negative slant. I for one am exhausted from the mood on here, and I wanted Ten Hag out!Because he is a United fan and that will be United's next official game? Why should it be weird to think about that?
So You would take Mateta over Hojlund because he looked good for 6 months?Eze, Olise... I'd definitely take them both. Mateta v Hojlund, don't know, Mateta looked awesome towards the end of last season.
So... not never? Is all this just a language issue? Would explain a lot of your other posts. Like when you say ETH at the end of his Ajax term was more highly regarded than Klopp at the end of his Dortmund tenure, you mean the opposite?One match isn't an entire season.Never?![]()
Exactly. I see alot of fans talking about us being fickle and what not but look at everyone raving about Palace, the players after a dozen few games.You should've heard the palace fans on talksport raving about viera ,after his appointment , he's different level to woy , you can see the patterns etc etc . 1 year later the same guys were phoning in calling him a clown begging for woy back .
Glasner may well end up good , the real work that has happened at Palace has been done by Dougie Freedman in recruitment . They have good aged players who have the ability to take palace to a higher level .
I'm tired of this. You just keep repeating the same thing over and over with zero arguments to anything you say and whenever countered just reply "he-he, i don't understand you", then you continue as usualYou can't just try to re-write what an upgrade isIt's a very simple notion. I don't know why you're struggling with it.
You don't know what you're talking about. No, Ajax isn't by far the biggest club. Yes, historically they are the most successful, but in the past 20 years they've lost the league way more than they have won it. In fact, in 18 years they have only won the title 6 times prior to ETH, 4 with him and 0 after him. 10 in 24 years in total. In contrast Bayern has won the titles 17 times in the past 24 years. But the thing is Bayern's dominance didn't really come until Heynckes where they won like 10 straight titles. Before that they were trading the leagues. What Klopp did was impressive, but perspective is important here. I don't think Klopp, and as I said I do believe he is the best manager in the world, would have ever won the title if he had to compete with Heynckes or Guardiola's Bayern.I thought I understood you, but disagreed. Now I’m not sure I even understand.
Are you saying that winning the relatively weak Dutch league with Ajax, by far the biggest Dutch club, is as impressive as winning the stronger German league against Bayern, by far Germany's biggest club? If so, how have you arrived at that conclusion?
What leads me to believe that is that in the 2013/2014 campaign we went from champions to 7th and utterly got trashed by every team in the league with none of the excuses or outside issues ETH had to dfeal with. We became a laughing stock of the world. In comparison our last season wasn't anything really out of the ordinary compared to what we have had in the past 10 years. Is it really that much worse compared to Mourinho's last season meltdown or Ole/Rangnick season? It's the same shit, only difference is that ETH didn't really take a well functioning team in the first place. Prior to ETH we finished 6th with even less points and I still wouldn't count that season as worse than the Moyes one.Also, are you saying that 23/24 wasn't United's worst PL campaign? If so, once again, what has lead you to believe that?
I think it's pretty clear what I meant and in relation to what. It's not my problem your epic "gotcha" moment is singling out one match when it was obvious that I was talking about league team performance as a whole, not whether someone bottled a match.So... not never? Is all this just a language issue? Would explain a lot of your other posts. Like when you say ETH at the end of his Ajax term was more highly regarded than Klopp at the end of his Dortmund tenure, you mean the opposite?
Excellent save. They only collapsed in the most important match of their season and not in other games.I think it's pretty clear what I meant and in relation to what. It's not my problem your epic "gotcha" moment is singling out one match when it was obvious that I was talking about league team performance as a whole, not whether someone bottled a match.
Yeah I would say Mateta is the better player currently. Hojlund might have the potential to become better than him though.So You would take Mateta over Hojlund because he looked good for 6 months?
So he is better because of 3 good monthsYeah I would say Mateta is the better player currently. Hojlund might have the potential to become better than him though.
Better form is all what's relevant when we talk about potential results in the first matches next season. Of course a lot of transfer activity will happen until then and there is no guarantee that Crystal Palace can keep their momentum in the new season, but if they do, they absolutely are a tough to beat team. I really don't get why @Sarni gets so much trouble for that opinion.So he is better because of 3 good months![]()
I mean that goes for every team in the PL.. keep momentum and if they do they are tough to beat, applies to literally every team.Better form is all what's relevant when we talk about potential results in the first matches next season. Of course a lot of transfer activity will happen until then and there is no guarantee that Crystal Palace can keep their momentum in the new season, but if they do, they absolutely are a tough to beat team.

Did they win 4 with Ten Hag though?I'm tired of this. You just keep repeating the same thing over and over with zero arguments to anything you say and whenever countered just reply "he-he, i don't understand you", then you continue as usual

I’m doing great. How are you doing these days?Why are you even thinking or potentially worrying about the opening game already? are you ok?
Did they win 4 with Ten Hag though?
You say I don't know what I'm talking about... but don't actually refute any of my points.You don't know what you're talking about. No, Ajax isn't by far the biggest club.

He's ETH out he's just taking the piss.Also, Bournemouth and Palace? Really? How can you be concerned about them and also think that ETH is the man for the job?!?
If Fulham thrash us in the home opening match, questions about the manager’s management would be warranted.
His total goal haul after his purple patch looks respectable. In his previous 3 seasons he scored 1, 7 and 2 goals.Eze, Olise... I'd definitely take them both. Mateta v Hojlund, don't know, Mateta looked awesome towards the end of last season.
