The FOURTH sub gets a goal with the first shot on target after a move that DIDN'T include ANY of the subs and you take that as a win? How sad you are. Time for your last bottle?

faraway saint Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 So, at this stage, 3 English teams looking red hot to go through, Man Utd still in the balance. TBH they, Utd, are disjointed, don;t seem to be playing for the manager/club, which quite a few of them have done previously. IMO they need a strong manager who will impose his position and either get players, ie Pogba, to play at their best or clear the out.

faraway saint Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 (edited) Top half of the English league, Liverpool back in the race to be champions with Man City, 6 teams chasing the Champions League spots.

I think the issue is that their current manager is only temporary til end of season before he takes up new position at club which will advising on a permanent manager. A bit bizarre for a club the size of Utd really, and no wonder it ends up with a disjointed group that should be much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's speculation but if I was in his position i'd be busting a gut to put myself in the running for a permanent move. If he has ambition United have the potential to be a giant, not too many clubs above them in the world. I'm probably being unkind to him in the sense he's almost invisible, I'm not aware of his track record without Google(can't be arsed searching for him) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cumbriansaint72 Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 It was part of the deal for him to move into a more executive role at the end of the season. They wanted a more experienced manager in after the solskjear sacking to steady the ship. I think they will still be in top 4 but will make it hard work as usual.

Consultancy role, as I said, IF he's no ambition, that's an easy number. A strange decision TBH as he has a free card, personally I feel they should have went for someone with ambition and see how it went. As you say, they are looking like it's going to be a fight for the 4th place, 4 teams easily withing striking distance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
faraway saint Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 Rio Ferdinand clearly saying United need a strong manager.

He scored a barrow load last season and I'm sure if he'd been fit he'd have done the same this season. As much as I enjoyed watching them last season I mentioned several times they would need to learn how to defend and/or buy some quality defenders. You simply won't get away playing the same way every week, especially when the defence is like a sieve. While he might not be "chased out of the club" after waiting so long to get into the top flight I'd be surprised if he remains if it all went wrong, they simply will not want to drop down into the Championship again. One of the few cities with only one major club, Leeds are another of these clubs that deserve better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to the Rangers game, last week was the biggest result for a Scottish team for many a year but will count for nothing if they go out. Goals guaranteed.

faraway saint Posted February 24, 2022 Report Share Posted February 24, 2022 A frantic opening, Morelos had a decent chance with a header and the Germans hit the post. This team, Dortmund, are up for this alright, unlikely Rangers will go through if they don't score. 18 mins, 0-0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
