Both sets of players are petulant as fuck. Serious lack of professionalism.

Poor Villa. They probably bought quite a few really decent players that summer but they were managed by Sherwood. Gueye seems to be the obvious one. Similar to us signing Wijnaldum, Thauvin etc Remi Garde, wasn't it?

ffs :lol: :lol:

Derby playing some great football.

Didn't realise Shay Given was a coach at Derby. Just caught a short glimpse of his beautiful Irish face. Shay Want them to come up even more now.

That Cooper fella costing Leeds a place in the final here like. Stupid pen to concede and I'm sure he's the one who messed up for the first goal.

How the fuck did he finish that

Also why buying strikers from that league is a mug's game (suarez/ibra aside) Agree with the sentiment given some of the failures (De Jong, Kuyt, Kezman, Huntelaar) but at the same time the two big Dutch clubs have been insanely good at spotting and developing young talent both domestically and in South America, which is why you can add Ronaldo (Brazilian), Van Nistelrooy, Kluivert, Bergkamp, Romario and van Basten to Suarez/Ibrahimovic. Quite a list tbh, makes it's worth a gamble when you do see someone who looks like they have talent. Disagree strongly that Huntelaar was a failure like. Can't put him in a bracket with De Jong, they're worlds apart. Kuyt too.

Also why buying strikers from that league is a mug's game (suarez/ibra aside) Van Persie, Huntelaar, Kluivert, Van Basten, Bergkamp & Van Hooijdonk like this. You're right though, in general

I've been critical of him but he's been excellent tbf to him. Applied himself brilliantly in a new unfamiliar role. Most assists in the squad too.

Absolutely.

Pretty sure you can delete your own account, no?

They drew with Guingamp (relegated) and Ben Arfa was subbed to jeers/whistles from the Rennes fans having been criticised for losing the ball too often and putting their defence under pressure - with some fans feeling they'd have been a more solid, consistent side without him this season. Ben Arfa came out after the game and said Guingamp deserved the win and were more ambitious in their play, and he responded to the displeasure of the crowd by saying "after what we have achieved this season??" (or something along those lines).

I think the biggest problem with him is not lack of experience at top clubs etc, but his apparent lack of leadership. He appears to have no real leadership qualities and it makes me wonder how far/for how long you can blame an entire squad of players? Sure some of them seem to have bad attitudes, are underperforming or are deadwood, but I don't get the narrative that's it's the fault of all of the players and not the fault of the one individual supposed to be leading them. We see many examples of clubs with average players punch above the weight under the guidance of a manager with great leadership qualities (us under Benitez). You look at City, with Pep, Kompany, Silva, Arteta... Liverpool with Klopp & Van Dijk... to win something, or to even be in contention, you need leaders - the type that stand up and take responsibility, allow others to place their faith in them with confidence. There's no way Solskjaer is that character, you can see it in the way he carries himself for weeks/months now. Man Utd fans are in danger of falling into a deep sleep of mediocrity, blaming players and giving a free pass to the manager because it's now convenient. You feel even if they bring in 4-5 new good players and then start the season poorly, the blame will still be at the feet of the players and not the manager - when it's so glaringly obvious to the rest of the country that his appointment was one of the poorest decisions from one of the top clubs in a long time.

Bet he signs for someone next season and turns into a world beater

That’s what it’s all about.

Lille should sign him, Champions League for them next season. Link up with Remy again.

Class today. Really enjoyed our display, with some top performances from our top performing players in Schar, Ayo & Rondon.

Lovely to see.
