And even if we play you will still spin facts so what's the point.Tell me we play good football after Sunday. We both no it’s not going to be a good watch.

Well if it was a stats thing I wouldn’t bother watching football at all. I’d just check the table every week and make a judgement based on that.
Ok, at least you checked it out and I apologize for not being clear. You should read the tactical analysis by Pauly Kwestel. Most people on here don't know anything about tactic but they sure love to tell you how much Ole sucks at it. I have posted the link 3 times in the hope that they would learn something like I did.Oh piss off. Read one minute of what? An article about why James Rodriguez is a viable option? Why are you bothering posting here if you've already reached enlightenment? Just jog on back to the hole you came from. You obviously have no intention of adding any worthwhile discussion.
I wouldn’t say Poch improved Harry Kane. He just played him. With that said. That also stands for the front line you say Ole has improved.
I agree.Your right. I can actually see what we are trying to do, so I shouldn’t have said that. We’re just not very good at it. We try to play out from the back with a keeper that can’t pass or leave his 6 yard box and it shows. We play a 1-1-1 midfield when we are in attack which is just odd but allows for Bruno to basically be a second striker and Rashford and Greenwood are just instructed to do as they please (which I don’t have a problem with).
And for the 10th time I am asking - if Pochettino was so great, why did he allow the Spurs-team to completely implode in his last year in charge ? No pro-Pochettino fan has ever given a decent explanation to this
I’ve credited him for playing them.
Your credit is worth feck all. In fact I can't even be bothered to wri
Just commenting here so I can go back to this post later to edit it and explain how wrong you are
I can’t wait. Just make sure you explain how Poch improved Kane.. that’s what I’m interested in.
Can we have the detailed analysis on Sterling too?
Yeah after the Poch and Kane breakdown.
To say Poch had no influence over Kane's success shows how little knowledge you have about the game. There is lot to management and the game which people sitting on a couch wouldn't understand. Messi was always going to be a great but you needed Pep to make sure he reached that heights. Cristiano may have been a star player but Sir alex made sure his game evolved and he became a moster of a player. There is a reason CR7 even to this date regards sir alex so high. There was no guarantee Salah would reach this level but Klopp made sure he worked with him and made him what he is.I can’t wait. Just make sure you explain how Poch improved Kane.. that’s what I’m interested in.
There are no alternative, Juve opted for Pirlo because there are no decent managers on the market
Pochettino - who is the best manager in the world was available.
Because no manager can keep at the highest level without constant refresh and reinvestment. Last years Messi Lindgard is next year's dead wood. Players get better and leave or worse and need to leave. Or leave in order to get better. If you are the victim of that process rather than the beneficiary, it's not good.
tl:dr Levi
I'm just checking: is this sarcasm?
If you were checking the table every week, you would find out that since January, we have been the best them team in the PL.Well if it was a stats thing I wouldn’t bother watching football at all. I’d just check the table every week and make a judgement based on that.
Cristiano may have been a star player but Sir alex made sure his game evolved and he became a moster of a player. There is a reason CR7 even to this date regards sir alex so high.
"In his first three seasons at Manchester United, Cristiano Ronaldo scored 27 times in 137 games. In 2006/07, he found the net 23 times. The season after that, he scored 42 times in 49 games.
The Portuguese started adding different facets to his attacking game during his time at United - timing his runs into the box, picking up tap-ins, improving his headers - until he was the team's main scoring threat."
"Ronaldo is on record about how much Alex Ferguson meant to him at United - once advising him to cut out the step-overs - but he relied heavily on some of his more experienced teammates.
Solskjaer and Wayne Rooney were two United players that worked closely with Ronaldo on the training ground, with the Norwegian often staying on with him for shooting practice. The pair would call over academy goalkeepers and defenders for the kickabouts. It is no surprise to hear of the young attacker turning to Solskjaer, a player who scored 126 goals in 366 games for United despite Ferguson regularly using him as a substitute."

So your point that players are always going to become good is bs. Had Jose still remained Martial would have been probably sold. Rashford would have been a squad player at the best and greenwood would not have played this much. So Ole has improved our three attackers single handedly.
This was Ole commenting about Rashford in December 2019.
"The most important thing is to settle him down in front of goal. I’ve seen him rush a few finishes… That goal will never move. I’m really looking forward to having the amount of talent that I’m working with now up front.”
You could see he was already looking to improve Rashford's finishing. And considering Rashford has got 22 goals this season Ole did do his job well.
Same with Martial. To say Ole had no impact on his growth is stupid statement. You have to show the trust and need to have excellent man management to improve players.

https://www.planetfootball.com/quic...it-began-when-man-utd-signed-bruno-fernandes/My maths might be off but wouldn’t the table show that Liverpool finished first? Eve n if I was to check it since January?
I think it´s pretty obvious that your point is to dismiss any positive influence of Ole and improvements made under him.He literally had a 1v1 the other day and tried to leather it past the keeper . Yes Im fully aware coaches assess and help improve certain aspects of players games. My point was certain things would have happened anyway. Which is the whole reason why players move from lesser teams to big teams. They’ve showed enough at a lower peace team to show there are of the level of a bigger team, regardless of what would be considered lesser level coaching.
But don’t let that go over your head.

So you are sayong coaches don't have any influence on players improving. So players like ronaldo are idiots for saying sir alex had a big role in his saying because according to you certain things would have happened anyway.
Ronaldo benefited from playing in the Prem most definitely. Made him a man! They most definitely worked on his game too. But as I pointed out players like Ronaldo would have made it anyway. Unless Mourinho got a hold of him. He wouldn’t have played him.
Yeah I was impressed with him too and was happy they backed him after the 9-0 drubbing. He’s a quality coach.
We still need investment but your right a good coach could improve us with far less investment.
Southampton are a well run club top to bottom though and you can tell by their appointments. They derailed once hiring Hughes but learnt there lesson.
So you are saying coaching is not at all required. Let everyone do their own stuff as players would make it anyway. Why do we need managers?Ronaldo benefited from playing in the Prem most definitely.

And if you feel this way, why are you here every day criticizing ole considering coaching is not even needed and they will all do well irrespective of them.
So, if I'm getting your argument correctly. If a player is bound to be good, he'll eventually become good irrespective of the training sessions by the club? And is there any specific age till which coaching actually helps? So, just for the sake of it, does a coaching help a 10 year old kid? 14 year old kid? 17 year kid?
One has to wonder why clubs even go through the trouble of hiring backroom staff and investing millions of dollars on training facilities as all these players would become world beaters because they were destined for it.
Also, is the case applicable to only Southampton where a manger can improve players?
Exactly my point. Is an u15’s development the same as a player playing for the first team? Maybe ask someone who’s played professional football and been through an academy.
My point is quite simple.. when I say better coach I mean style of play and improving the overall performance level of a team. When I refer to Martial not improving by coaching. He would have played this way whether It was Solskjær or any other coach who actually gave him the minutes and confidence to lead the line. Does Ole deserve credit for that.. 100 percent. But it’s not through some amazing coaching. I back that up with Harry Kane and Pochettino. He didn’t bring anything different out if Kane that Ole couldn’t have done. Would they play the same style though? No
Well - why did he sign so many crap players then ? He wasted so much money on crap players - it's almost at the same level as we did.
I can't claim enough knowledge of spurs internal politics or their transfers in that period to know if that's true or not. But I do know that he was complaining about the stagnant squad when he left, and that the stadium project and overrun was a huge drain on their finances.
Spurs don't have the pull of a big club, so that will be the sort of transfer targets they can attract. As opposed to a Pogba, Sancho or Maguire type of player.Don't get me wrong - I am not saying Poch had a fortune to spend on players, so he had to gamble more than the other top managers
But Vincent Jansen, Serge Aurier, Clinton NJie, Georges Kevin Nkoudou, Tanguy Ndombele, Kevin Wimmer, Juan Foyth, Benjamin Stambouli, Moussa Sissoko, Davinson Sanchez and Lucas Moura - was perhaps not the best way to spend £200 million ?
