Just realised after seeing Hull's teamsheet that Steve Bruce has resigned his son for a 2nd time, the other when he was Birmingham manager.
Any other manager/son pairing has done better?
Elkeson scores for Guangzhou Evergrande which now lead 3-2 on aggregate (2-2 1st leg in Seoul).
They have been dominant today and Marcello Lippi looks to lead a Chinese side to their first AFC CL.
What are the expectations of the Man U fan this season? Will you be content with a 4th place finish? Cos I can't see you winning the league. 4th place or thereabouts is where you'll finish and definitely not top 2 imo.
If Cabaye, Debuchy and Remy keep up their current form, they should be near certs for the WC. Deschamps also seemingly rates Sissoko.
It will be tough for MYM though. Varane, Sakho, Koscielny, Abidal all ahead of him.
The two partnerships that seem to have a decent understanding are Willo-MYM and Taylor-Colo. Anything else out of these two combinations, we are regularly at risk of heart seizures.
All things considered, MYM should be the only permanent fixture in 2 to 3 seasons. The rest are no long-term solutions.
Shame that we can't look that far ahead in bringing in better players when it takes time to build up a defensive partnership.
For now the form player/ partnership should get the nod.
