The Footie Thread

I honestly can’t see how you can spend so much money & be so bad.
To blame the mangers is a bit naive for me.
They probably have little say in who they sign.
It’s probably the suits upstairs with massive egos that “know soccer”.

Been saying that about United for over a decade. The squad is packed full of players who shouldn’t be there.

Chelsea or United?

Who would you actually keep?
Personally I think Garnacho would be class in a good team.
Dont like Bruno,but technically he’s good.
Mainoo as massive potential.

What a goal. Player of the season for me up to now.

Very wasteful again from reds giving the ball away to much.

Chelsea or United?

Was aimed at both.
Absolute show

To be fair ETH was behind all of the signings as the structure above him was weak and clueless. No way a well run club let's an under qualified manager with no experience in a top league have total control on transfers.

Poch had zero to do with the transfer policy at Chelsea, he's dealing with a worse hand due a lot of vainity signings from the owner who is clueless.

Both clubs have the wrong managers in charge IMO.

Not having a pop.
But do you honestly think Liverpool look good this season?
Same with City.

Hojlund, Garnacho, Mainoo, Martinez, Shaw, Dalot, Mount and Onana for sure.

A few I'd definitely get rid of, and anyone in between I'd listen to offers if any came in.

I'll be honest though, much happier with the performance tonight. Sure, lots of garbage, but at least they've tried to play a bit as well. Looks like Varane was barely fit enough to play anyway

Of the starting lineup? Onana seems to have found his feet. Dalot has actually had a decent season. And Mainoo, Garnacho and Hojlund. I don’t like how Fernandes conducts himself, but if everything is going well around him he can be a real match winner. But everything around him is chaotic.

I would be quite happy to never see the remainder of that starting XI in a United shirt after this season.

Poch signed the contract knowing that
Sign the contract you’ve won the lottery,even if you fail.

McTominay?
I reckon Fergie could have made that work.

No.

But we’re top of the league. As it stands.
We’re great in some games and bang average in others like tonight up to now.
We’re such poor starters and still getting caught on counter attacks.

Is everyone else poor.
Imho it’s a bit of both, Liverpool are making SU look good here.

He didn't make Veron work, so I doubt he'd have done much with McTomminay. He is no Darren Fletcher.

Very true. He's made two bad choices to go to PSG which never suited his management style and made the same mistake at Chelsea. Fast becoming Mourinho Mk2 without the trophies.

I’ve seen very few games where I’ve seen the top 3 look really good tbh.
They seem to be getting the job done in a lot of games.
When Arsenal have been on it,I’d say they’ve looked the best.

Since I posted we look like a different team.
Quick ,one touch pushing them back.
Just what we didn’t do first half.

We looked nervous and playing safe balls sideways and backwards.
All changed when Macallister scored the goal of the season so far.

Poch is absolutely blagging a living as a top coach.
What’s he actually done?
If he was English he’d be managing Birmingham.

You’re playing Sheff Utd.
Calm down La

We’ve got a shot here la.!
I havnt got any nails left already.

Macallister awesome imo he’s up there nearly with KDB

Thought SU played ok but they ran out of steam.

No. The fact he’s scored a few goals has disguised how poor he is at his actual job.
