  1. Post match vs Newcastle United

    It has been the same bs talk for over a decade now. Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Rangnick, Ten Haag, Amorim None of them managed to install a true winning culture again, so maybe it's time to accept that no manager will win anything here if the front office doesn't change drastically.

  2. Post match vs Nottingham Forest

    I've said it for a long time and I will say it again: When will people realize that the manager isn't the problem? Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Rangnick, Ten Haag and now Amorim - yet none of them turned United into a powerhouse again, despite several of them being highly successful at...

  3. Best manager to suit our current squad.

    Pogba - never even sniffed the top-20 while being here Zlatan - still good when he got here, but nothing more at this point of his career Di Maria - started off hot, but fell off a cliff after a month or so Sanchez - clearly not a top-10 player anymore when he played here Ronaldo - way past his...

  4. Best manager to suit our current squad.

    In my opinion there are two main problems: 1) The entire board has no idea how to run an effective football club. When your bosses are weak/incompetent, the whole company suffers. Seen that too many times in other fields of business. 2) The players they brought in over the years just weren't...

  5. Best manager to suit our current squad.

    I honestly don't know anymore. Since SAF and those well balanced squads we had under him it really didn't matter how good/accomplished the managers were, none of them had much success. Moyes, van Gaal, Mourinho, Solskjaer, Rangnick, Ten Haag At one point you have to think it's not a manager...

  6. A decade of irrelevance in the CL

    Sure, Real Madrid stands head and shoulders above the rest when it comes to European football (gold standard since the 50s). Then you have Bayern as a distant second (have consistently performed well since the late 60s and bring home trophies). Then teams like Barcelona and Milan that have...

  7. QF | Spain vs Germany | Portugal vs France

    What's the opinion on the potential handball pen in the Germany-Spain game on here? In my opinion it should've been a pen, since Cucurella's arm actively goes towards the ball (would've gone through if he kept his arm high up) and blocks a shot, that would've been very dangerous, most likely...

  8. Ralf Rangnick | Austria manager

    Van Gaal was an exceptional club manager for Ajax and Bayern as well. He was basically the reason Bayern returned to superpower status again after being just solid in the 2000s.

  9. Ralf Rangnick | Austria manager

    Still shake my head every time I see some guys here ranting about his time here. He had no backing whatsoever and took over a squad that had zero interest anymore, multiple toxic personalities and quite simply not enough quality. Anyone would've done poorly here, as our record since SAF shows...

  10. Premier League Gameweek 38

    6 titles out of the last 7 4 titles in a row Can we at least stop that nonsense of downplaying other leagues because they are "one-horse races"? The PL has been a one-horse race for 7 years in a row, the only question is how long City allows the second best team to theoretically still be in...

  11. Ranking our Squad vs the Rest of the League

    The real tragedy is that over the past decade United have spent more money than any other club on the planet (yep, even more than Chelsea, City and PSG) and yet you look at the current squad and it's barely a top-7 squad in the PL.

  12. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    Spot on imho. Pep's one "flaw" is that he is not as all-dominant in the CL as he is in the league (still "good" in the CL, just not "great"). SAF had the same problem btw. His CL performances were actually worse than Pep's. Coaches like Klopp, Ancelotti, Tuchel and even Zidane fare better in...

  13. Is Pep the greatest manager of all time?

    "Serial PL winner with the richest PL club - that's what you can and should expect" Since Pep took over City both United and Chelsea have spent more money than City (Arsenal is close, too). Do we expect Chelsea and United to be the all dominant teams of the PL? "One time CL winner with the...

  14. Eric Dier

    The de Ligt case is one of the weirdest ones I can remember. Pundits and even his coaches always seem to criticize him for whatever reason, but if you actually watch him play, he is good to great in the vast majority of the games, very rarely has a underwhelming game and is clearly (!) the...

  15. Eric Dier

    People always fail to realize that communication and chemistry with your teammates is way more important for defenders compared to being athletic freaks or highlight reel players. Dier is a guy who always gives you a performance between 5/10 and 8/10. Nothing fancy, but also never a really bad...
