Well done to Liverpool. Playing all those youngsters and a few squad players I thought that was a sure sign Klopp didn’t care much about the FA Cup. Perhaps he didn’t. Who knows?
But Liverpool won, and the question is if Liverpool should give it a real go or not in the FA Cup now? Of course the PL and the CL are more important, but considering the huge gap Liverpool have, with a game in hand, in the league, shouldn’t this Liverpool aim to be a truly iconic team? Winning the PL which is in the bag, winning the CL, which is very possible, would be great. Adding the FA Cup would make Klopp and his team iconic.

The thing is that United can’t keep changing managers like that. I agree that OGS is in way over his head. He’s a likeable legend, but he’s not good enough for this level of management.

He should just go now, so the new manager can get the january window and the rest of this season to prepare for next season.
But I think the club needs to decide which style of football it wants the team to play. A clear club philosophy. Like Ajax or Barcelona. And then go all in for who ever fits the description. Since SAF left we have seen Dinosaur Dave Moyes, Ryan Giggs, Louis Van Gaal, Mourinho and now OGS. How the hell can you not end up in a mess when you hire different kind of managers each time? None of them could build on the work of the last guy in charge.

Wow! Arsenal are a mess. Only six points from relegation halfway through the season. Aubameyang must be pissing himself with joy that he left Dortmund for that. Wenger back, anyone?

Looking at Arsenal makes it almost easy to be a fan of United.

Arteta has a massive job ahead of him. Best of luck!

And the rumours about Moyes returning, as you mentioned. What’s the point of getting him back?

Simply just funny to suggest refs are costing City the title. I mean it’s Jim Carrey making strange faces funny.
If a team that wins 17 out of 18 games is above you how can you blame anyone?
Liverpool are just a pretty well above average team. End off.

All teams come to the end of the cycle at some point. Look at City: Otamendi, Fernandinho, Silva and Aguero all over 30 years of age. Mahrez, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Walker all 28 or older. No wonder the team is on the wane. 5 defeats in 19 games. Don’t blame the ref from the Wolves games for not being in the title race.

I didn’t see the Wolves vs ¢ity game, so can’t really conment on it, but if Liverpool winning the title this season wasn’t a sure thing before, then it is now.

Brian, that may very well be. It doesn’t change the fact that Klopp’s job was harder than Guardiola’s. Less money, bigger overall overhaul needed.

Guardiola is a good manager, but considered the gap Klopp and Liverpool have closed on PG and City over the last couple of seasons I’d say Klopp looks the more accomplished manager of the two. Also consider that PG so far hasn’t succeeded in the CL since the days he had Messi. So if the objective was to take City to the next stage Im not sure he really has done that unless he actually wins the CL. You can argue about style of play and so on, but at the end of the day is that enough?
Klopp also won the lot in Germany with someone not FC Bayern. PG never did anything like that either.

I’d still have Guardiola over Solskjaer though ?

I have to agree with Mav’s opening post. Even as a fan of Manchester United you just have to recognize how good Klopp is. And I agree he is the best manager out there. By some distance as well. When he took over at Liverpool they were not exactly flying high. He had a lot of rebuilding to do. He did that. How much are the likes of Salah and Mane worth today?
He has turned Liverpool completely around. José couldn’t do that job at United. Pep never even tried anything like it.
Klopp can’t be praised enough for the work he has done at Liverpool. Just a shame United didn’t get him back in 2015.

PSG ruined the market with the transfer of Neymar. Now we live with the consequences. One of them is a young giu like Haaland being rumoured sold for an obscene amount of money. And it’s a case of damned if you do, damned if you don’t IMO. He could be a one season wonder or turn out to be bang average in a league like the PL and then the money is wasted if you cave in a fork out the millions. So I can see where Mav is coming from. But what if he turns out to be the real deal and we didn’t spend?

Mate, that would be hilarious! Adebayor should be his assistant ?

They’ll probably end up hiring Unai Emery because they don’t need to buy him out of a contract.

Mav, I don’t think so, mate.
I can see that aged 60 or so he’s perhaps not the future of management, but he’s hardly a dinosaur either.
He managed some of the biggest clubs (and players) of the world and he’s won titles everywhere but at Napoli, where he still won more than half of the games he managed. He’s unlikely to fold under pressure, and I think that’s something they got by the truckload at Arsenal.
Nagelsmann on the other hand is in his early thirties and have managed Hoffenheim and Leipzig. Even if Leipzig play in the CL he’ll have no idea of the size of the job ahead of him at Arsenal, I think. It could be like Villas Boas at Chelsea years ago.
Of course going for an upcoming and very young manager like him could prove an inspired appointment, but it could also go tits up like Villas Boas who also was the young, tactical prodigy.
I’d go for the experienced option who knows the league. But who knows? Experienced guys with great CV’s fail too sometimes.
One things for sure though, Arsenal can’t afford to hire another dud.

Arsenal really should go for Ancelotti. Good, proven manager. He won things. Knows how to make a team defend. Knows the PL. He’s been at much bigger clubs than Arsenal (no offence intended) so he’s used to pressure.

Just don’t throw beer. Drink it. I like going to games and watch my local club.

And here are the rules:
1) Don’t throw beer
2) Don’t use vuvuzelas at all
3) Only bang your drum gently
4) Arrive on time. And don’t make sudden movements
5) Don’t leave until the game is over unless your lady is farting
6) Don’t clap or shout during the game as the sound may be irritaring to other people. From now on your emotions should be expressed only through the use of jazz hands. Nice and silent
7) Do not bring pidgeons. They are silly creatures
8) You shouldn’t bring armchairs and cats to games unless there is enough for everybody.
9) You can only talk about other things than the actual game if it’s related to the rules mentioned above.
10) If you cannot accept the rules you must stay at home spending time on the internet hating this club and that manager.

Pagan, agree on the drum, actually. They’re better than vuvuzelas though.
