Lol for their next match in Prague. Its a 1/2 goal spread

Can’t judge Pepe under Emery.

Saka is doing his thing under Emery tho

Ceballos looking good

Willock



We're not expecting him to take the league by storm but you would expect some glimpses of real quality


You brehs will be waiting a long time for him to make good.

Not to be but I heard Eriksen wants to leave Tottenham due Vertonghen following in John Terry’s footsteps with his wife.

Vertonghen seems like the type.

But wanting to go to Madrid when Courtois is there

Dortmund are bottlers, good squad but they concede goals. And the group is looks tough, expect Slavia Prague to cause problems

Think that's bs. Eriksen and Vertonghen seem to be cool

pathetic arsenal

This Gervinho slander needs to stop. Man could've been an Arsenal legend under a better manager.

Came back from China and still murking defences in Seria A

2004 is not recent.

Well that undermines the Leicester argument as proof of competitiveness rather than a one off anomaly as the last time a team like Leicester won was ... also not recent.

Ole clearly isn't the right man for the job but with this fukking board it's going to be rinse, wash repeat

Hopefully we repeat a "Mou" and win a European trophy.

Liverpool are pulling further ahead.

I think OGS is doing a good job...

















If only the next coach hired is actually proactive with their coaching, both tactically and improves the players as a whole, which wasn't really happening under Mourinho. Getting rid of most of the old furniture, the ones stealing wages and players just aren't at the level required. As they say Rome wasn't built in a day, so you cannot get rid of

and some of the ones he did keep, was more for good mentors to guide the younger players. Also implementing the youth, which got sidetracked under Mourinho, when things looked to be promising under LVG.

Also Sir Red Nose was in a very similar situation as OGS is in now. He had a lot of deadwood and a big big drinking culture that thrived under Ron Atkinson and Red Nose decided to keep the captain and ship his drinking partners out. So United had alot of teething problems, those early days, all the while trying to get United back to what they were under Busby. Alot of fan favourites got sold and moved on even before Mark Robins goal saved his job.

OGS is gone at the end of the season, but whoever takes over on a permanent basis is going to have a clean slate and have a better understanding of what talent United need moving forward, because the squad doesn't have 457583 player to choose from, as it did last season. Someone had to do the genocide of the squad, because it was bloated with all Fergie, Moyes, LVG and Mourinho players, that is what OGS did. Also the failure of the financial genius not hire a DoF to do so.

OGS is out of his depth.
