Howson was hinting at something in a video he did about Pochettino this morning. Not about Poch, but about Mitchell being at the game last night, he says he doesn't know if he's going to join United but he also hinted at something he couldn't really say. Take that as you will
The greedy a-hole pulled this all the time a few years ago -- insinuating he has inside information to trick people into joining his Patreon group. That guy is such a scumbag.
 
Can someone give is the gist of it?

“Competent” is the operative word for United under Rangnick. They are not a high-octane, high-energy pressing unit from minute one to minute 90 in the way RB Leipzig were six or seven years ago, but they are competently executing a number of footballing principles seen in top teams in England and across Europe.

They still retain a brittle confidence in games, with a number of players often abandoning some of Rangnick’s playing principles during difficult moments and reverting to type.

The squad currently lacks a mobile defensive midfielder who can both win the ball and distribute it efficiently, and perhaps lack the physical fitness to carry out all of the pressing and counter-pressing action that Rangnick normally demands from his teams. For all of Ronaldo’s obvious talents he is not well suited to playing as an exit ball in a Rangnick team, and Cavani, who possibly is well suited to the role, cannot be relied upon to play 90min every week.

There will always be a limit as to how Rangnick-like this United team can be. But they are getting better at understanding what their interim coach desires, and how to execute his principles properly.
 
It's difficult to know exactly how much to read into this when you Southampton and Leeds sandwiching Liverpool and Chelsea, and ahead of City at the top.
 
Currently being let down (again) by our inability to finish chances.

It absolutely makes a lot of sense. The top three in regards to similarity (Hasenhüttl, Klopp, Tuchel) were all more or less influenced by Rangnick and Hasenhüttl even managed Leipzig the season before Rangnick did. Seeing those three at the top actually proves how much his philosophy is still followed by them.
 
Played really well, again, yet can't score chance after chance for crying out loud
 
Struggling to beat shite like Watford and Burnley and yet some people think rival clubs would poach him. There must be something in the water at United. Called it early on, he's Van Gaal reincarnate.

Getting very much triggered by this kind of nonsense :lol:

As if "intensity" was a philosophy invented by Ralf fecking Rangnick at SSV Ulm .. or Hannover 96? ;)
 
He’s been fantastic. We’re so much better in general play and any rational person can see that. We’ve been bizarrely wasteful and a lot of the usual idiots will throw that at him.
 
We've played well, controlled the game, restricted them to hardly anything and created tons of chances.

Not Rangnick's fault if none of our attackers can finish. As Pep says, his job is everything up to that point.

Why is it nonsense? Obviously there is a bit more to it than just "intensity" :angel:

It is literally the polar opposite. Under van Gaal we created nothing and was saved by some ridiculous finishing.

Couldn't be less like Van Gaal.
 
I think today was not really on him. We should have taken the early chances. I like the gamble substitutions as a trait, but afraid it isn’t sustainable long term. Hopefully ETH comes in and guts the squad, to eradicate this type of performance.
 
The performances have improved under him. The finishing has been abysmal too often. Can hardly be blamed for the players fecking up clear chances time & again.
 
Sack him now, dropping points galore. Not fit to coach even in the championship.

It is rangnicks fault we are dropping points to dross.

Yep lets crucify the manager for missing open goals and sitters.

It's nonsense because having stats like the ones in question, I'm going to assume it's stuff like number of sprints, pressing actions in the final third etc., doesn't have Ralf Rangnick or his "philosophy" as its origin. Tuchel learned from studying Pep as much as he'd ever have learned from Rangnick. Klopp never learned from Rangnick. Hasenhüttl neither. They just like a similar style, which is why Rangnick hired him.
And Pep and Bielsa, obviously not.

Quick transitions, pressing, countering aren't things that Rangnick could monopolize as his philosophy, as much as he's trying to put a brand name on it. It's just nonsense. He is just one among many influential people when it comes to coaching and managing, and then he's one of the less impressive ones in his own work.
 
He's okay but not the answer. We aren't getting top 4. Time to focus on hiring rhe right permanent manager.

Thought our general play was pretty good but the forward line was abysmal.
 
Should have been 3-0 up by 20 minutes. Ronaldo is past it though. Still though if we had taken our chances it would have been routine.
 
Keep Ronaldo on the pitch.
But, no one knows any high board order to order him to keep him on the pitch any time before we are winning...
 
Not on Ralf at all this, feck off with all that.
HOW on earth we have not scored today is just ridiculous.

Bruno, CR7 with some shockers today.
 
Moronic comments. It's not his fault the players miss five or six 100 percent chances. Any other day that's a 3-0 win and a solid performance.
 
I mean, results like this isn't really surprising when the only tactics is to force the opposition to lose the ball and make mistakes. The counter is to simply let us have the ball, where we look clueless.

I can't how many games we dominate and so may good chances and can't score.


Getting beyond a joke now. Least we not conceding, but how do you fix this. Ronaldo like welbeck out there shooting at the moment, looks done too 2nd half.
 
I’d like to protect him today, one of those days. Hugely let down by Fernandes looking like he wanted to not score, point blank stuff.
