I am surprised it took this long TBH. I said earlier in this thread or the USA thread that Caleb Porter is the ONLY American coach I would want anywhere near NUFC. Well done Portland.
-
Me too. 3 at most. Realistically 1 point.
-
Loved today's. Back on form after a mediocre previous couple.
-
You sound like you live in Portland.
-
I totally agree. And this is coming from someone who sometimes (very few... honest) goes to their games. I feel like I should be more supportive, but honestly they just piss me off and have done for years. I am a self-hating miserable bastard obviously. I bemoan NUFC's failure and take no joy in LA's victories... the worst of both worlds.
-
I don't know why I am even watching this. It will be a NYRB vs Timbers Final with Timbers winning.
-
It'll be Zigi, but I'd prefer Caleb Porter.
-
USA has never had a proper striker (other than BMcB whom I actually like).
-
Well that was lame
-
I don't think he'll get fired, but...pretty much everything since the WC has been bad. Eventually something has to happen. Yep I agree I think Jurgen is the best we can hope for really. All of his conflict with development and the colleges... I think he is right. I am however irritated that there are not more latino players and better opportunities and set ups that could help increase the numbers - he needs to do more in this area. This is a long standing problem obviously.
-
I don't care how bad they have been playing or how much pressure Jurgen is in... I really want a win tonight. Tough shit though. This has a deep loss written all over it. Mexico 4 USA 1 is my prediction.
-
I can say without hyperbole or malice (I am not that big on the makem hating thing) that you will regret this appointment. I loathed him while he was here. Since KK I would put him only above Souness and JFK as the worst manager we have had (yes, worse than Pardew). The football we played under him was eye-stabbingly boring and we usually lost anyway. He also has zero class and an immense ego. A horrible person.
-
I am pig sick with envy that Liverpool have Klopp. I would have given my eye teeth to have him at Newcastle.
-
this will be an odd game. Jose has a terrible record at SJP... Ghost of SBR his mentor or something. Jose will have done his homework (as always) and will have Chelsea in a formation attacking narrow through the middle and comeout swinging by pressing high. They would do better on the counter however, but they won't play it that way. I don't think Chelsea will do amazingly well, but I do think they'll win as long as they don't concede early. I am watching this. And will try not to care about losing yet again.
-
I disagree. When he is running down the flanks and has no options he often tries to cannon the ball off of an opposing player for a corner or throw in. It worked most of the time for him yesterday.
-
I am still in disbelief that McClaren is our manager. I don't feel strongly one way or the other but it seems unreal somehow... I blame Ashley. I don't believe the WHam game is a must win. I am willing to give him time. The last former England manager we had took a while to get things going (two years of 11th place). It eventually worked out.
-
Obertan is faster than both and probably shows that in practice doing simple actions. In games however...
-
Totally agree ... and I think it is worse due to the current political environment of England.

The League Cup 15/16 - Sheffield Wednesday (h) in third round
CaliMag replied to summerof69's topic in Football
Repeat of the 8-0. A sign of our renewal and the start of a new era. -
Yeah, stopped working at the start of the second half and never came back. I tried other games and other devices and no luck.
-
This looks like one of those 0-4 HT and 0-4 FT games. Where So'ton take the foot off a bit in the second half and our players try a little harder.
-
No pity in the Rose City. Next year since these games are apparently a joke we should play the Portland Thornes. At least then we could look at Alex Morgan.
