Finishing 3rd, 33 points off PL winners, and no Trophy (yet) is utter rubbish and shouldn't be celebrated...

Moving the goal posts are a good way of getting more goals from corners, and this is a fabulous example of moving the goal posts.

Absolutely as we cannot take a corner. Do you know that corners are a legitimate way of scoring goals? Otherwise there is no point in a corner? Can anyone tell me why he cannot coach is to take a decent corner? Do you ever watch good teams play football?

I was bored so i made one from understat figures for each team https://understat.com/team/Manchester_United/2019. We're below average but not the worst:

Only Spurs and Watford had less shots on goal than us. That is not a good number.

You may want to define top coaching as ‘getting the most shots on goal from corners’. I’m not with you on that one.
As for your early claim that we are particularlily bad at them, we are not.
As for you claim that it’s negligent to not focus more on them, it’s interesting to note that if Klopp was our corner coach, we would have gotten an incredible extra two goals over the course of the entire season. If Pep was, there’d be no difference.

Many of the top coaches spend relatively little time practicing corners because unless you are at the rock bottom end, it pays so little compared to spending that time practicing other stuff.

Amusing that people are bringing up Sheffield United who - agreed have done well on no budget but no mention of wolves who seem to go toe to toe with us and have long periods of possession against us without spending any money whatsoever.

How on Earth Neves is ignored when surely he would make a huge difference to our play in terms of ball retention- how can Wolves compete with Manchester United time and again in pure football terms is a total mystery to me. Why do we need to buy 5 players at 50 odd million a time to fill a position? Why are we paying half million a week for a puny goalkeeper who doesn’t have the confidence to come for a cross in the English premier league and can’t pass for toffee.. look at the goalkeepers city and Liverpool have and compare them. And let’s not even talk about goals conceded. We have a poor goalkeeper and a passive centre back (lindelof) and the only decent CB we have might be put in prison and people are congratulating Ole on ‘getting rid of Smalling’

We need Smalling for crying out loud - but we need to just let go of all the other centre halves because besides the fact that none of them can defend none of them can even stand up straight (always injured!)

In any business you can expect some leakage but Man Utd? If we’re not careful we may as well be called titanic...

Biggest club in the world. Fact. Would Real Madrid or Barcelona settle for the sh*te that we have put up with for 7 years? 33 points off, 3 semi finals lost - the losses to Chelsea and Sevilla (AGAIN) are criminal.

Reaction? Zero. How have we not at least signed someone? Anyone ?

lose de gea
Terminate the contracts of jones and Rojo - people are complaining about Smalling? What a joke, and Tuanzebe can’t stay fit for 5 minutes.
lindeloff should be 4th or 5th choice

buy neves or another proper footballer For DM because Matic cannot play every game.

buy Grealish before someone else gets him or just pay the money for sancho.

finally let’s try again and buy yet another centre back - one preferably who doesn’t look like he got bullied at school, who can run fast and can actually play football. We don’t need beckenbauer or bobby Moore - but please let’s not be taking about Centre backs again 12 months from now

Sorry for long post - rant over....
