Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - RIP Diogo Jota

[nyknick]

Just read that De Gea hasnt saved a penalty for 5 years

Didnt know it was that bad. I guess Ole should have done a Van Gaal and bring the sub keeper for the shootout.

Or at the very least he should've tried to win instead was trying to get to penalties

At least Man Utd can't annoy me for 3 more months.

Onto the Euro's!

Oh, and the Champions League.

Damn all ex managers going back,poch,allegri eveb zidane did a few years ago lol

The general rule is too never go back after major success. The 2nd stint is almost always worse.

Unless ur jupp heynkes of course, nikka was at bayern like 4 different times over the course of 25 years

Emery the defensive manager couldn't organized the defence. Arteta has made Arsenal's defence better. They defend better as a unit. Yeah the attacking football stinks but that can be improved tbh. It's easier to go back to front then front to back. Arsenal didn't make Europe because their pre Christmas form especially at home was shyt. But their post Christmas/2021 form they ended up with the 2nd best record I believe due to the last day results.

Let's add some context as to why their pre Christmas form was shyt. They were basically playing every 3 days had no pre season no real proper training sessions. They were back playing 4 weeks after winning the FA Cup. Everyone else barring United Citeh had about 6 weeks between the end of the season and the start of the new one (I think Liverpool had about 5 weeks). And United and Citeh didn't start till a week after.

Fair points overall

Only thing I'd disagree with is Emery being a defensive manager. He's a counter-attacker IMO.

But dude finished with more points than Wenger and Arteta has been worse than him (barring a FA cup win). Emery has a good streak of wins at some point so his formula clicked at least temorarily somehow.

He had a better team than Wenger and Arteta had.

The attacking and underlying defense numbers were worse under Emery.

If Allegri calls, Pogba can leave with my blessing.
United has really fukked up his career in terms of trophies.

why would he go back to Juve?
yall overreact too much. United still has a better future than Juve
United have better players and will continue to buy better players. just need managerial change
Juve have no future. shyttier midfied and defense. they barely made top four in italy
Pogba is staying..
















to go to Psg and play with Neymar, Mbappe and Zidane

I don’t get it. Run back the same group but not have a fair amount of cash to refresh it.
