Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Scriptures Prophesied the Messiah Plays 3-4-3

[SCORCH]

Heavy metal football coming to Old Trafford.

 

[SCORCH]

This will literally be the first time in our history of over a century that we'll have a tactically astute manager

Went from Ole telling the players to go out there and enjoy themselves to this. It's an all-time upgrade.

LvG and Jose were not Tactically astute?!

 

[TobiOT]

Those French brehs are legends. The bald one cracks me up.

 

[The ADD]

Educate me brehs. If Ralf is this talented. Why only 6 months? If he known not to want to be long term anymore?

 

[TheOptimisticCynikal]

LvG wasn't tactically astute?

Nah. He just used to repeat "Philosophy" in a Dutch accent while looking and talking to people like they stupid when they ask if passing the ball side-to-side is really progressive football (it literally wasn't).

He was entertaining as hell though. I liked him far more than Mourinho and Moyes.

It was a good run while it lasted. I'll be mulling over what went wrong with Ole for a little while

LvG and Jose were not Tactically astute?!

LvG had a philosophy of football that he wouldn't change despite anything he saw on the pitch. It eventually became a running joke. Mourinho parked the bus and if a player didn't fit into those tactics, he'd make them out to be the problem and ostracize them. Maybe sometimes he'd change things when he saw something wasn't working mid match, but he'd much rather bytch and point fingers at everyone else when things went wrong. Don't get me started on Moyes

Edit: Despite the trophies, Mourinho was a step backwards. In hindsight, we should've hired a manager that would've built on the possession style that LvG instilled in the squad at the time. Mourinho was a step in the opposite direction and he sold just about every signing LvG made.

 

[WavyHair ChippedTeeth]

The consultancy part has got me like

 

[TobiOT]

Dunno if they'll allow him to bush Maguire but it's a start.

Think he'll prefer Fred to McTominay as well.

Yeah, I completely disagree with all of this. Those managers regardless of the failures proved throughout their careers that they are very tactically astute. Easy to use their failures to override their successes but cook.

shyt’s about to get real for Ole’s favourites

Think he was meant to say LVG and Jose were pretty much past their best when they came to us.

Still left the club with trophies though.

Speaking of another United team...

 

[TheFryingDutchman]

Chicago Fire just signed a new coach, and he's a breh

They had to be or United wouldn't have considered them (Moyes and Ole withstanding)

Most if not all the managers we've hired after Moyes has been reactionary.

After realizing Moyes couldn't handle the big time, they went for the pure opposite of Moyes and hired LvG based off his vast experience at multiple big clubs

Mourinho became available after stinking it up at Chelsea and Woodward, who is a simpleton at anything football related, thought he'd be his Fergie completely unaware that Real Madrid broke him and his infamous 3 year boom-bust lifespan cycle at just about every club he's been at

Mourinho goes to shyt and we have to bring in Ole just to bring in some much needed positivity and remind players what it means to play for United (see Ole Effect)

Thankfully Ole made some solid buys and now we have a nucleus that needs a few more signings and a modern European tactician to mold them into world beaters. Ragnick for now and Poch at the end of the season
