Pochettino in talks to become PSG's manager

CapitalCee:


This is the only reasonable thing you have said in this board. Long may this continue.

I don't think Rodgers will sit back at home, he'll want to dominate the play.

Ndidi vs Bruno, whoever wins that battle might just determine who wins the game...

Oleout is not happy.

It is good enough but our manager is suspect. The only reason many people are not confident we would mount a challenge is our manager. The squad itself is the best we have had in close to a decade.

Now i am not saying we are going to win or indeed that we must win. However we should be able to push on and at least give the eventual winners a fight for their money.

Very good. I am surprised that people are saying we can't challenge for the title. That Mourinho's team of 17/18 would have edged it had it not been for the 100 points city, so why not this team?
We made 9 changes last night and beat Everton first team away. If you compare our squad now with that of City, we are not miles off. Even Liverpool that a lot of people are tipping for the tilte are not miles ahead of us quality wise.

A very nice run of results of say 10 wins in 12, starting from our fixture with Liverpool on 16th of Jan, then maintaining a reasonable form afterwards will do it. And just like you said, if we can give the winners a run for thier money that will boost the team to mount a proper title bid next season. That doesnt even mean we can't win it this season.

Fergie won a couple of titles with 75-79 points. Leicester won it with 81 points, infact we even won it in 2003 with 83 points with 2 games to spare. This season is looking very similar to those types of season. Liverpool for example have lost 11 points already this season with barely 1/3 of yhe season gone.

I think our squad on a whole is good but I still think it lacks balance and that's where it can fall short as a title challenger.

They say defense wins titles but can you honestly say you're confident in our defence keeping cleansheets?
We still dont have a proper solution for the right side of the team.
And then of course you have Ole who is like his team, inconsistent. Has some great results with some woeful ones.

The main reason I see us in a title challenge is because no one else is that good, apart from Liverpool.

PSG old boy Pochettino to take over i suspect.

Poch can't wait for the United job forever besides PSG is a bigger prospect for now.
Poch can finally win some silverwares

CapitalCee:
AWB is far better than Tuenzebe in terms of attack sef. Tuenzebe performance last night was rubbish, he was disaster waiting to happen, he killed attack and slowed forward movements.

I think Tuanzebe played ahead of Williams for his height because Everton has scored the most from corners so far. the guy is no wingback and is match rusty.

And for Ole. I have been very critical of him and i still think he is not good enough. But a slight stroke of luck in terms of getting the right balance with the squad could just push him over the line. Just like post lockdown.

For the past 5 seasons or so title winners used basically same structure and first XI throughout the season. With little tweaking here and there as injuries and suspensions permits.

Chelsea 2015: courtois, Ivanovic, Azpi, Terry, Cahill, Matic, Fab, Oscar, Hazard, Costa, Willian/Schurle.

Leicester 2016: Schmeichel, Simpson, Huth,Morgan,Fuchs,Kante, Drinkwater,Albrighton,Okazaki,Mahrez,vardy.

Chelsea 2017: Courtois,Azpi,luiz,moses,cahill,alonso,matic, kante,Hazard, willian/Pedro, Costa.

City 2018-2019: Ederson, walker,Laporte/Otamendi,Kompany, Delph/Zinchenko/Danilo,Fernandinho,KDB,Silva, Sane, Sterling, Aguero.

Liverpool 2020: Allison,TAA,Robertson,VVD,Gomez,Henderson, Fabinho,Wijnaldum,Firminho,Salah,Mane.

I dont know if our coaching team have strategists at all, Fergie used to have people like that.

You are correct

i dont think ole will not allow Ndidi to be on Bruno, Mctoms if he fit enough will engage Ndidi. My fear is our shaky defence

You are over analysing this thing Amaka doesn't even think that deep The only reason Tuan played was because Williams was sick.

handelex:
That guy might have 1 or 2 broken ribs. Bailly na case shaa.

I dey tell you. I thought he injured himself initially though. I was almost certain he was going back to the med bay

We conceded lots of goals last season in the first half of the season and conceded less in the 2nd half. If we can tighten our defence we should be good

Panther7:

You might be right, But Ole might still start Tuanzebe even if Williams is fit. Ole is not that dumb na. Lol. DCL and Richarlison are big aerial threat, Mina also in set piece situations so it wise to play a taller person, its mo rocket science

Chelshit fan, you were meant to be topping EPL by now winning every body by 5-0. After Marina "Spent Wisely" in the summer. Fat Frank is still 5th, having played more games than most of his rivals.

I would have believed but nobody was assigned to man mark DCL during set pieces there was a time Shaw was marking DCL.
Most times we don't assign Maguire to mark opposition players who are dangerous from set pieces I don't know why? Maybe it's a strategy.

United use zonal marking
Not man marking

It looks like a mix of both zonal and man marking.

Bros wetin you expect from united this season ??

No dey do if and if statement

No
Its zonal only
Maguire hardly moves from the center

Who is even our defenssive coach? The person must be terrible. The amount of goals we concede from setpeices is mind blowing and still we dont want to address that.

Instead of taking it one game at a time you are already talking of title challenge. lose one game and we can drop down to 8th. Na wa for some people o.

Tuchel sacked, Pochettino to replace him.

Thank you PSG for taking Pochettino off the market so Manchester United does not make the mistake of sacking Ole for him.

Are you sure? Cos I swear I saw Shaw man marking DCL.

Bailly or Tuanzebe should start ahead of Lindelof as they'll deal with the threat of Vardy better...
