In my opinion what they should do is have an opinion.

I'll answer once I hear senator's wisdom.
Then you can go. We all know what you wouldn't do.

Do you have one?

Only Ben Foster (a goalkeeper) and Thiago Silva (a centre-back) are older players who have played in the PL this season.

LOL. You're still hammering away at that?
But I thought all his goals were going to be tap ins from him being luckily in the right place at the right time? That was your last post on the matter, yes?
You realize that every team and every player isn't told to press? Yes?

Yeah. Brendan is a better manager than Ole, but not good enough to win you meaningful trophies. The goal shouldn't be to find a better manager than Ole, everyone on this board is a better manager than Ole. It should be to find a manager capable of winning meaningful trophies. I would say they should have more ambition than Rodgers, but they obviously have little to no ambition at all so it'd be an on-brand hire.

MegaErtz · 11-20-2021, 10:21 AM

Ronaldo is clearly a passenger. Of course he's still one of the most talented players in the world, but he's extremely limited with his sprinting and like most players in the mid to late thirties, his recovery time in between sprints is just far too long.

I'm amazed that he's allowed to lounge around just past the half-way line for entire matches. No other striker in the league would get away with it. Can you imagine Klopp allowing Mane, Salah, or Jota to get away with that? Watch the Arsenal match that's about to start and notice how quickly they are on Ramsdale every time a defender plays the ball back to him. Manchester United supporters are quick to blame the other players in their team for individual mistakes, of which there are many, but the over-arching theme I've seen from watching most of their matches is that they're basically playing a man down when they don't have possession.

A pretty solid two days in the battle between Good and Evil. The political show trial in US results in aquittal yesterday, and then Wolves overtake MU in the standings. Strike up the band!

He doesn’t make those tough calls though. Everyone else does and after the fact he chimes in with “well, you were wrong!” It’s thrilling stuff. Whatever MU does is what he would’ve supported. If OGS somehow sticks around and goes on a miraculous tear to get top four, he can pretend he knew it all along and the rest of us are foolish. It’s really amazing he’s even posting after a loss, but it was a full moon yesterday.

it's ridiculous to even bring up Klopps strikers when talking about Ronaldo. Man United has just never been a press heavy team ... they weren't before signing Ronaldo either. Klopps team are completely different in that regard, so of course you can't compare Salah etc. to Ronaldo. It's a completely different playing style and idea. United will use the press occasionally and in specific situations, but they will simply not permanently press with all 11 men. Blaming Ronaldo for Uniteds woes completely misses the point.

LOL. You clown! I'm so in your head that you can't even read properly. He was referring to the board!

Tough calls? I recall warning you in the days of Poch that The Spurs were in freefall.

If only you'd listened to me then. You'd be so much less
angry now. 🙂

Senator Clay Davis · 11-20-2021, 11:00 AM

The fact Maguire and Shaw have regressed so badly, and that the midfield pretty much stinks, are far greater problems than Ronaldo. They get dominated in the middle of the park against pretty much everyone.

Why do you think Rogers is a poor manager?

Who's out there that's better? Asides from. den Hag?

Stupid talks aside. He's a no nonsense manager grass roots no bs manager.

Haha, believe me I’m not angry in the least. How could I be? You’ve been singing the praises of Ole for months on end and he’s exactly what I thought he was. It’s hilarious to me.

Senator Clay Davis · 11-20-2021, 11:08 AM

Ramsdale saving Arsenal right now, he's had a heck of a season so far.

See this is where you are a total waste of time.

You're so dishonest.

No I haven't. I have however been asking you where you have been for the last year when he was getting results?
Why won't you answer that?

So angry and dishonest.

MegaErtz · 11-20-2021, 11:15 AM

Manchester United have called an emergency board meeting for noon mountain time. Sounds like this is the end for Ole.

In your opinion what do you think about misrepresenting people's words?

Whats Eric Cantona up to these days? I think he got some experience coaching Beach Soccer...does he have his badges?
