I'm not sure he was ever actually managed well to be fair to him. Stayed far too long in the end though. I actually preferred him at the start when he was a left winger, but with him and Rashford being there we had to switch one of them and we went for him. He held the ball up pretty well for...

It's a risky one. Another team looking to get some of the rub from someone with a connection to Pep.

That pass was an absolute thing of beauty. I do like him in this role, because it allows him to stay forward and press from the front with us looking much more solid with three proper midfielders behind him. Obviously every game is different though, and against a low block you'd probably want...

Just rewatched it after being there yesterday and yeah, superb stuff all round. Perfect gameplan executed as well as it could've been. By far the better team first half and even though we were always going to come under a bit of pressure second half, we still defended brilliantly and they were...

There's never as many as people think/want. It's just not something that's easy with the wages people are on and you've also got to replace who you get rid of so it's a balancing act. We could get money for Wan Bissaka and Maguire (even with them they might not want to leave but considering...

Missing this guy for virtually a year has clearly been absolutely massive. Our best player.

It does feel a bit daft to sack someone that’s won two trophies in two seasons when it’s been a struggle to win anything since Fergie retired, especially if we do it for a complete Premier League novice like McKenna. We’ve been horrendous in the league and if it’s still the same, part ways at...

I stiOne thing I do Yeah he knows all of those players plus the likes of Varane, Sancho and Van De Beek who are likely leaving too. As much as it feels too soon, that is a definite positive in all of this . There shouldn't need to be any assessing of the squad as he already knows most of the...

Should've just been announced he was leaving in the summer instead of letting it leak out the day before a cup final if the decision was made after Palace, but it's better than him finding out beforehand. Right decision despite the shit timing, because this season was game after game of...

Should've just been announced he was leaving in the summer instead of letting it leak out the day before a cup final. Right decision despite the shit timing, because this season was game after game of absolutely terrible football. The football and tactics have been worse than the 8th place...

I agree but I think the problem is when they are given a chance in recent years at top clubs, it doesn't tend to go well. Moyes here, Potter and Lampard at Chelsea, Hodgson at Liverpool etc. Howe has done a good job at Newcastle to be fair, though I think even then there's doubts that he's...

People comparing him to some of the bigger managers around that did well in their first jobs also underestimate the culture factor. It's no coincidence that Pep, Arteta and Alonso are all Spanish, or that Germany has produced Klopp, Tuchel etc. British/Irish managers still have a lot to...

If we're talking about modern football, there's still not a good track record of managers from this part of the world being elite. Almost every time a top club appoints one it turns into a bit of a disaster. It doesn't have to mean anything obviously, but he does fit the profile of the type of...

Let's change that haha. English, Irish, managers from the UK, the point still stands anyway :lol:
