Of course we won’t win it Mav but neither will Liverpool now and that’s something 😅

What a match! Unlucky to the Liverpool lads. We really needed that. I thought we’d get battered today but we ended up with almost twice the XG Liverpool had. Very unexpected. Mainoo is going to be some player. Looked the best player on the park at times.

This upcoming round is probably going to be the first one I’ll be bothered about. I can’t help but think the CL has been pretty boring this season so far. Nothing to do with my own team being out. I just haven’t found it particularly entertaining. If there’s a PL match on at the same time, I’ll usually opt for that.

It’s the way he starts laughing expecting everyone else to laugh with him and they all just look embarrassed for him. Punditry needs a real overhaul and, as you suggest Mikus, to move away from this desire for the viral clip with silly soundbites which can be shared on different platforms.

Anyone else see this? I almost feel sorry for Carragher. That’s so cringeworthy
CBS is so unhinged, Carragher’s just said Kate Abdo cheated on her fiancé 😂😂😂 pic.twitter.com/dgDBhB99Wh

That’s out of order if that’s the context in which Paul meant that Sean. I hadn’t cottoned on to that, if so. Mak offered up his own banning on email. I felt him offering to fight other posters and calling them retards and racists was a bit far. I’m completely in agreement that Adlab brings a lot of him upon himself with his conspiracy claims against his club. Let’s get back to football, though, eh?

Completely agree though that the not commenting on other clubs point was a tad extreme!

Steve, I hardly ever ban/block people. I only did it this time because I felt it was getting a bit out of hand. I’m all for heated debates. I just felt it was getting a bit too much. With Nine no longer around, sadly, I don’t really have the time to be constantly monitoring things here so I just felt I needed to do something there. I’m aware not all will agree it was warranted but I can’t please everyone. We could probably do with another moderator if anyone fancies it.

Apologies everyone but I’ve just had to block Mak for now. I just don’t have time to be policing the forum and it’s got a bit out of hand this evening despite my pleas.

City also got the softest of pens at both Old Trafford and Stamford Bridge this season which were both extremely odd that they weren’t overruled. It’s definitely City’s season for calls going in their favour this season. I don’t believe in any kind of conspiracy either but they’re certainly riding their luck in the big games. Our lot are getting no luck at all, sadly. Doesn’t help that we’re also crap but that’s beside the point.

I hate giving Arsenal credit and I’ve bashed Arteta on multiple occasions but you have to take your hat off and admit they’re building something very good there. The only remaining question mark is if they have the all important bottle required to last the distance in a title race.

As always, you make very good and fair arguments Mikus. I just can’t get behind Tuchel I’m afraid.
Whilst your points about Mourinho and Van Gaal are valid, I also think they reinforce the problem. Both came in for a couple of years, did a decent job and then started to really go downhill. Then it was back to the drawing board, rip up the plan and start again. We need to stop looking for these 2yr recovery plans and build something longer term. That doesn’t mean a long term manager. Just a long term plan where the head coach is identified to fit with that plan but is also expendable because the plan is more than just the manager at that particular time.

Mikus, unsurprisingly Tuchel rarely makes any Liverpool fan’s list of next manager choice. I’d be very surprised if you wanted him at your club so I’m not sure why we should either 😁. He’s going to become known as the man who lost the league in a one team league. They’ve won the league like 11 years in a row so he gets given arguably the best striker of a generation and is faltering. No thanks!
Instead all you Utd fans seem to want to keep throwing in completely unproven managers into one of the biggest jobs in football and play this long term developing youngsters pipe dream game. If you want to keep doing that and stay in the doldrums that’s fine by me 🙂
That’s just not accurate. We’ve tried “proven” managers in Mourinho, Van Gaal and the like. You make it sound like we keep plucking unknowns out of European football and throwing them in telling them to develop the kids. I don’t think any Utd fan is interested in a “developing youngsters pipe dream”. Utd fans, like all fans, want a manager who can play good football and win games. Tuchel ticks none of those boxes at present and should be nowhere near the list of potential replacements imo.

One thing Ten Hag isn’t Nil is soft. If anything he’s potentially too much of a disciplinarian for the modern player. I’m not sure how anyone can come to the conclusion that he’s soft with the amount of players he’s fallen out with. He’s as tough as they come. I think, like Alfie, the players bought into him in the first season but have failed to respond to him this season.
Poch is honestly the last manager I’d want at my club. Chelsea fans can’t wait to get rid of him. He, if anyone is too soft, imo.

Ancelotti has done a good job at Madrid, no doubt about it. But he’s not a club builder I’m my opinion. He’s the type of manager who can take a great squad of players and get them enjoying their football and when you have the best group of players, that’s often enough to win most games. The problem is Utd don’t really have that outstanding group of players which he’s always had during any spells of success he’s had. Be it at Milan, Chelsea or Madrid, he’s had such a brilliant group of players. Just look at his less than impressive spells at Napoli and Everton for instance. He’s just not a builder of teams.
Despite Ten Hag’s struggles, I’m genuinely as optimistic as I’ve been in a long time about the club. The moves Ineos are making behind the scenes are what Utd fans have been crying out for for years. They’re going out and bringing in best in class appointments and insisting what Utd do on the pitch is central to everything else. Whoever the next man is, he’ll come into an entirely different job than Ten Hag did. He might succeed and he might fail, but he’ll be given the best possible chance to succeed and it’s a long time we’ve been able to say that at Utd. Success won’t come overnight but I think we’re finally making the right moves to ensure we can be competitive in the years to come.

Really poor from Utd but not sure anyone expected much else as we’ve been poor for most of the season and they’ve been very good. Was certainly no surprise to me anyway. Ten Hag just hanging on now until the inevitable happens. Ineos will want their own man in so just a matter of time now I feel.

I agree CM. He was easily the better choice out of him and Poch. I just think the transition and the building job from the Ole team to the kind of team he needed was too big and Utd lacked the structure to make that happen. Poch would have been an even worse choice imo. At least Ten Hag has a record of winning things. I’m still convinced Ten Hag can make a good career somewhere in the right structure.
Potter would be a terrible choice too. We need to be looking at Amorim, De Zerbi, Inzaghi or someone like that. If we go for any of Tuchel, Potter, Ange, I’d be very disappointed.
