With all due respect there's not much to debate with you when there is rarely anything of substance posted.

I'm not sure that there's much to disagree with there.

Isn't challenging?
You feel that squad is on the same level as Liverpool's? Or City? Or Chelsea?
Are you seriously suggesting that he underachieved last year by finishing second?
Asides from him hanging McFred out to dry in the last couple game what tactics in your opinion has he got wrong? Didn't you say last season if I recall correctly that you rarely watch United games? How did you come to that conclusion then?s

LOL! See! That was the best you could come up with last season also?
But in fairness to you it's nice to see you've put your silly penalty argument to bed.
Let's put your argument into perspective regarding him.
Last year United went on a run of 28 games where they were beaten once (by Sheff Utd) and cruised to a second place finish and you put that down to "lucky bounces".
For whatever reason you stfu during that run and had nothing to say. Why was that?
You've got an obsession with him and appear desperate to be right after your silly session last year when you were ranting about him being fired after a bad performance yet were blind to the fact that he was far outperforming Frank and Jose. And had been for a long time.
Where I stand is this? Is he a master tactician? Far from it? Does he appear to freeze in games? Yes. Does he get things right? More often yes than not but most recently more often not than yes.
Since he arrived at the club has it moved forward or backwards? By far forwards. If he was fired tomorrow is the club in a better or worse place than when he took over? Indisputably, a lot better.
Do I think he'll be canned? Next three games will determine that. He is on a short leash again just as he was last year.
Will I be devastated if he is? Depends on who they bring in.
Will I be angry if he grabs a few results and isn't? No. Far from it. I won't be ecstatic either.
His biggest weakness? He's simply not ruthless enough. Should have got rid of Pogba for any price after that CL bs.
Now ... why don't you tell us all about that 28 game unbeaten lucky bounce streak? And why you stayed so silent during it?
And Nuno won't be fired. He's untouchable. I think Levy has got the message that replacements aren't that easy to come by.
