Premier League 2019-2020 we’re off

[Papas1982]

thats great up to the point where the squad still has a distinct shortage of leaders and theres rumoured to be a split in the dressing room, let alone choosing a guy most wouldnt have in their starting XI

a gerrard or a nolan? id rather have an Adams or a Viera plse

I'll give you Adams. My point was just that gone are the days of the local lad being the hero.

He woukdnt be in my 11 either tbh (at saints) 😬 but we've had a club captain before and then the match day captain was anyone...

You know what - I think OGS might not be a very good manager.

He's possibly the worst manager in the history of the Premier League.

Qualifications........managed the best team in Norway for a bit. Failed at Cardiff and then back to Norwary. That CV wouldn't even get him a Championship job but United saw fit to give him the toughest job in world football

He's changed nothing tactically. Man Utd are still a counter attacking side with no quality in midfield or upfront. The difference was Mourinho was able (at first) to use his tactical genius to overcome the lack of quality and win trophies and qualify for the CL. Mourinho was actually a big success in those two years, it was only after his transfer plans in 2018 were denied by Woodward that he sulked and things went downhill. That was Woodward's mistake and the results since has been woeful.

I've said it before but OGS will be gone soon and Poch will get the job as he's clearly getting bored of having his hands tied at Spurs. It's nailed on.

That’s part of the reason I couldn’t believe it.

Is Poch a busted flush in the Pep/Klopp era?

Is Poch a busted flush in the Pep/Klopp era?

Not yet, but needs to win trophies soon, and manage a big club. Time is running out. He needs to show some ambition, and deliver some tangible results. Getting Spurs to where they are, fair job, but it should always be a stepping stone to a bigger club. ( Madrid, Barca, Man U, Bayern, Juve, etc).

The fact he had the players vote shows just how weak he is.

Man City players chose their captain, is Pep weak?

It’s a weak moved hidden by their success.

Think we got lucky there.
Schoolboy error from the keeper ,you are taught to get your knee down behind your hands !not do what he did.
Sheffield played well but lack composure in front of goal.
Don’t know what’s wrong with Salah but that’s a few games now he’s been really poor.

Still don’t understand the offside rule.
Guy miles offside so VVD got to play the ball and they get a throw in ?

Nice to get the game won, but not the best of performances. I hope City snot Everton later now.

VAR having a cracking first half up and down the prem it seems

Could be good man management to let the players choose who they want.
Did he give a reason for it?

Thought Liverpool should have had a pen.
Bit soft but by the rules a pen.

I fancy Everton to give them a game.
But have been spectacularly wrong in the past about Everton.
If Richarlason could finish he would be a great player imo.

If Richarlason could stay on his feet he would be a great player imo.

Fixed 😉

Spurs obviously trying very hard to bottle a routine win against Southampton. Not loving this season so far. At least Kane is still good.

 

[clubchamp98]

Fixed 😉

That may be part of his problem .
But he seems to rush his chances and miss to many.
In a close game that’s a win or lose.
He has everything imo except that.
Prob score a couple today now lol.

 

[clubchamp98]

Prem strikers should watch that finish from Coleman, fantastic.
Pity CL took it but that’s his job to make sure.
City look good going forward but awful at the back.
Need to pressure the CBs more

Few VAR calls in the west ham game today

I thought the first goal they overturned to say onside was actually offside at time but fair enough

2-2 that will do

 

[fundy]

City dont half get away with murder from the refs!!!

As for Zinchenko, hed look at home in our back 4!!!
