EPL Man U

[Foley]

Ollie for the sack?
Abysmal performance by Man United.
And the money they have spent.
As for Pogba ....

 

[Marked Ox]

The disallowed goal for Ronaldo was amusing as he was in tantrum mode for most of the game.

Oh dear they’ll be glum in the streets of Guildford

 

[holdsteady]

Hope he gets the Newcastle job after he gets sacked, already messed up spending £400 million on transfers, love to see how badly he can do spending billions.

As for Pogba ....

..... looks like he'll outlast another manager he's not lifted a finger to help

 

[MalaysiaYellow]

I think they will go for Zidane, and he seems to be the best of the rest as the best are at City and Liverpool already. He should at least be able to command respect from the big name players.

 

[Peterdev]

Bring in Steve Bruce as cover for Maguire and Shaw.
Brendan Rodgers would command respect and he’d love another chance to manage a big club.
Mind you who would want to manage overpaid spoilt brats like them?

Rodgers would be similar to Fergie. But after managing Liverpool, would he go to ManU ?

Iirc, 4 of them were in the same match. Personally, the sooner they get rid of Pogba the better for them.

Managing Man U is a poisoned chalice and has been ever since Fergie left. He kept them at a high level with the force of his personality. That ship has sailed though and (from the outside) it looks as if some of the players regard themselves as bigger than the club and more important individually than as a team member. It will take a pretty top drawer manager to turn them around properly. As it is, they have enough good players to create enough false dawns to keep OS in a job for a bit yet...

 

[Bath Yellow]

Never watch those prima donnas, last night really enjoyed the highlights. What a shame poor darlings, best part of the coverage was seeing Alec Fergusons face when they showed it. Never mind, their fans have all got inter changeable shirts.

Don't know what those snowflakes are whinging about, they're still 7th which isn't bad.

Does only one goal/assist count per match then?!

Having Pogba, Fernandez, Ronaldo, Greenwood & Rashford in the team basically means you have half the side who can't/won't do defensive work. Combine that with Fred & McTominey who are fairly clueless, its no wonder their defence comes under pressure and makes mistakes. Compare that with Liverpool's 4 strikers who work hard without the ball - between them they have 29 tackles attempted this season, in comparison Man U's starting back 4 yesterday have 33 (and Wan Bisaka has 19 of them).

Yes backing that up on Sky they were suggesting that on average Man U as team run less than most teams in the EPL.

No, just pointing out 4 happened in 1 game.

And for all the trouble/speculation/costs he hasn't contributed anywhere nearly enough whilst at Man Utd.

They ran a combined 3.65km less than Liverpool, and less in every game this season bar v Newcastle and Wolves.

 

[OUFCGav]

And so far this season in ranking with the rest of the EPL, they are
20th - total tackles
20th - duels won
18th - interceptions
18th - aerial duels won
15th - ball recoveries
20th - errors leading to shot
