I assume you have no exposure to any social media or footballing reporting? That’s the only way you’d not be party to the consensus in football about who’ll win the PL this season.

If Liverpool don’t win the league, few will be surprised. That shows where the pressure is heaviest ie. on City.

Remember, I’m not saying there’s no pressure. But it’s less. Again, sliding scale. Drop the hyperbole.

Seen plenty of social media but throwing around generic baseless comments is meaningless

And the pressure on Klopp to win the title is massive , irrelevant of you having some sort of weird judgement on pressure to suit your opinion. No surprise at the end of the day. There was a comment on here a while back about how arrogant Man Utd fans are with claims about their club etc - good to see you fit the profile well.

Arrogant? I’ve said we need an overhaul. I’m behind appointing a manager who has won nothing. I don’t think you’ll find many Man Utd fans who are so visceral in their analysis of the team.

But I do see that we’re a huge club with a massive worldwide draw. That’s without doubt.

By the way - I also say that Liverpool are a huge club with a massive worldwide draw. That’s how you attract people like Klopp and players like Salah, Fabinho, Allison etc to your club.

But you just cannot see past your bias. You ignore the bits that don’t fit your narrative and jump on the stuff that you think does - like me being biased despite not at all deriding our rivals.

You show time and time again that you have no perspective when it comes to judging football in England.

Mhikitaryan got a broken foot, not like weve had enough injuries lately sigh

What’s your opinion on his attitude? For me he almost seemed worse than Pogba at United. A total shrinking violet who seemed to cast himself as the quiet victim but he really did nothing on the pitch for us time and time again. But the Mourinho element can’t be ignored.

Regardless of personal (possibly biased) opinion. If you were to ask 1000 people high up in the industry..Managers, Journos, Players, Chairmen, Directors... “What is the biggest managerial position in English Football”? Where would your money be..

I’d imagine the result would be pretty conclusive.

I think we got the far worse player in the swap deal, that said neither has really benefited from the swap, of late hes been excellent though, finally found a role that suits him with the way Emery sets up so we'll miss him short term, long term I dont think hes a world beater. Sadly it means we'll see even more of Iwobi and his lack of end product (wont see us keep Ramsey either :( )

Phil will say because this hasn’t been quantified you can’t use it.

far far less conclusive than 5 or 10 years ago. If you asked the same question 30 years ago the answer wouldve been very different and theres every chance its going to change in the near future too unless theres a real turn in fortunes pretty soon

As a neutral I've been disappointed in him when I've seen him on the telly. Granted you don't get a true reflection (can't see runs made etc) but from I have seen he's played well within himself. Whether that was part of the Mourinho problem with players, whether he's been carrying an injury (before this broken foot) or simply not put a shift in, but I think he's far better tan we've seen. A rest may do him well and he may come back fresh fit and able to make a bigger impact on games

We’ve recently had Kagawa, Di Maria and Mkhitaryan and all three have been the same in terms of their impac on the pitch though Kagawa did put in a really good shift. So disappointing.

How many players leave Real Madrid for any other club whilst At the top of their careers? Who has the greater number of followers? The most successful in Europe?

Man Utd aren’t as big as Madrid, the PL machine may want us to believe it, but it’s simply marketing.

Of course as per your form on here you won’t accept that, but I can’t think of one thing that makes Man Utd bigger than Madrid.
2nd biggest sports team in the world,2nd only to the Dallas cowboys.
Fans and trophies I agree with.

I wouldn’t deny it’s as close as it has been in recent history.

Right now I would say the City job - some would even say the England job or Chelsea job but the balance right now has it with the City job and that’s why the best manager in world football has the City job

Man Utd aren’t as big as Barcelona as well imo but it all depends on what is used as the barometer- they have Utd as the richest but that doesn’t include wealth of owners.
