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

I dont get the Emery hate when it comes to his Arsenal tenure. I think he was a good match for a club that doesnt have the finances to win the league which is exactly Arsenal. Dude can guarantee a top 6 finish and maybe a top 4 if circumstances are good.

The issue is that for some reason Arsenal fans dont realize they are not a top club any more and have been living on their history for too long and they expect a top 4 like they are royalty

I guess there were language barriers and managerial issues but let's not act like Arsenal havent been mediocre since 2017. And man still got a 5th place and a EL final.

Some FA cup wins are just giving Arsenal fans the illusion that they are still great but the truth is that they havent been for several years

Emery finish to the end of the first season is what killed his Arsenal career. Shyt the bed in the league and then lost vs Chelsea. He was a dead man walking after that.

If Ole starts and finishes next season as Man U manager you ain't getting top 4

Sorry just can't see it happening with all the other teams improving, getting players back fit, getting decent managers in and you being left with him all season to motivate and inspire the players all season

De Gea is useless on pens. This will go on till United miss

Welp De Gez saved no pen and missed his one. I hope people dont scapegoat him though because United should have won that match within 90. Their team is far more quality than Villareal's

Utds bench was better than Villareals best 11

All on Ole ? Come on breh.
How about Rashford score his sitter ? Ole aint on the field to score it for him.

And you know Rashford will keep thinking about that one

was offside anyway

Fair play to villareal but they were still all types of trash. This is all on that clown Ole, how he not making any subs until 2nd half of ET

And fluffed the most important sub of the night . . Henderson for DDG for the shootout

They did what we expected of them...defend solidly and take their one or two chances. Man U were restricted to 2 shots on target

You may have won if things went the other way e.g Cavani point blank header, Rashford chance or if that handball penalty would've been given (harsh) but that's small margins. No smacking them around

 

[Montez]

If they played tomorrow, I would still take United over them. They're horrible.

 

[The Guru]

Good ebening to Villarreal. For a team like theirs to win it, fair play.
