Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - We are SO back, the Premier League returns!

On paper what OGS and Lampard are trying to do are similar, bringing in the youth. Then when you look closer, Tammy, Tomori, Mount and Reece James have combine about 300 career club games away from Chelsea. United young players still at potty training level when it comes to experience.

Lampard got Derby playing well as well. Well enough to beat Man Utd at Old Trafford in 2018.

.

It also looks like Mount and Tomori were both playing for Derby in that match which means that Lampard trusted them and helped their development along even while Derby were chasing promotion to the EPL.

Typical Utd scenario is we beat Liverpool

Not happening breh. What Klopp did to Mourinho in his last match left me

Everyone seemed to be on a mission that day
Liverpool will catch a body at old Trafford

If you're Martinelli do you declare for Italy or Brazil

Italy. Immobile and Belotti put on the Azzurri colors and go missing

Real Madrid forward Gareth Bale is "angry" and "fed up" at the Spanish giants and wants to leave the club, according to BBC Radio 5 Live's Guillem Balague.

Brazil strikers mostly stink

Brasil is a almost guaranteed Q/F spot at the World Cup. Italy just too inconsistent, even when they are good. And tbh, apart from a player here and there, they look average with a lack of quality coming thru.

They finally broke him.

They must of hid/broke his golf clubs or got him banned from his favourite course.

You can't make this shyt up. We haven't even signed Pioli yet and everyone wants him gone already

I remember @Kunty McPhuck saying Gianpaolo was a bum, but I refused to believe

The red flags were he was 53 y/o and never finished higher than 9th. Never won a cup or played in Europe. And was inflexible complex system, which is outdated that is only seen in Argentina and Italy 4312. 4312/diamond is a good formation for a 1 off game as change of tactic, but after a while it is easy to combat and gets exposed.

The fans, want Spalletti, Rudi Garcia or Marcelino. They fed up with the cheap no pedigree coaches, always looking for the new Sacchi and Capello. Instead of going for big names, the last big name coach was Fatih Terim and that was him coming off the Uefa Cup final and doing well with Fiorentina, hence why Rui Costa joined Milan. Ancelotti was classed as a failure before Milan.

Spalletti couldn't happen, because Inter only want to pay him 6 months money instead of the year, couldn't agree terms.

Don Silvio and Uncle Festa ruined the club.

Pioli might be OK till the end of the season. He usually has an impact to start and then fades away.
