A Man United manager and squad that are nothing but frauds, whose sole accomplishment today was getting a player taken off on a stretcher. Pogba didn't even seem bothered.

Liverpool need to get healthy in the midfield. More injuries today.

Salah is locked in. My word.

Kind of surprised that Ole is still at the wheel. There was literally nothing good about that game, the defense was horrible, has been since Euros. The midfield has always been rough. The forwards couldn't do anything. Pogba deserved a red, Ronaldo probably should have had one too. Not sure about the other two, I left the TV because I couldn't stomach to watch anymore of that shit.

Zidane, Conte, Loew perhaps? Give me someone else. This game was obvious that United has individual talent, but not cohesive talent. Liverpool played as a team and destroyed us. Not to say they are without individual talent, because every level has a world class player, but it was obvious they are team first. It shouldn't have gotten that bad in the first place, but there is no need to lose tempers and start attempting (and succeeding in some cases) in injuring the other team.

Man United paid all that money for Sancho and he hardly ever plays? Why bring him in and Ronaldo when they needed midfielders. Signing Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips seemed like smart business to go after. They could have gotten it done. To English guys at Man United? Banks and schools would have closed.

I am going to enjoy this Liverpool side as much as I possible can. This all probably goes to shit when Klopp leaves and the club is worth so much now that the only people who can probably afford to buy it next are either from China or Saudi Arabia. We had to sit through Tom Hicks and Roy Hogsdon. I take none of what I'm seeing for granted.

Exactly. There were bigger needs than Sancho or Ronaldo. There was, reportedly, mutual interest in Rice. Reportedly interest in Neves at the end of the window. Any help would have been huge. Instead I'm sitting here watching McFred give the ball away too easily.

Liverpool is a fun team to watch, I'd rather them win the PL than just about anyone else at this point (of those who have a shot). Salah might just break the bank, but he's showing he's worth it.

The Sancho deal should have been done at the start of Ole's tenure. However good Ronaldo is or was, his presence in that boot room was going to go one of two ways. Ole refuses to sub him off and I've seen matches where DeGea covers more ground. There need to be front office changes before anything can move forward, and that is frustrating.

Liverpool need to get a deal done soon with Salah. The price is going up every week. I'd rather they invest in him than worry about transfers. He'll play well into his thirties.

The Brentford, City and Athletico matches worry me that Liverpool are prone to giving up goals. That won't bode well in the title race against Chelski and Citah, who are both very good defensively. Having dropped points at home to both doesn't bode well down the line. The battle for 4th should be something.

Naby Keita injury not serious. Ole still at the wheel.

Good morning, Tuesday.

 

[IHateMarkMay]

Good news about Keita, happy to hear that.

A lot of people are thinking that they are going to give him the next three games in the PL, knowing they won't go undefeated, and make the change at the international break (this would give them time to work out the deal with whoever they go after). A lot of signs are pointing to Conte, I've seen Zidane's name get thrown in (probably waiting for France job). I've also seen Brendan Rodgers and even Ten Hag, but I highly doubt either of those two leave mid year.

It was Keita's best game in the shirt.

Conte is too much like Mourinho for me. I think their board feels the same. He supposedly wants the job if offered.

If LVG, Moyes or Mourinho loses 5-0 at OT to Liverpool, they're all sacked. Ole is a former player and there seems to be a great deal of sentiment for him. I saw tPahis with Kenny Dalglish the second time around and it is my biggest fear with Gerrard should he ever come back to manage LFC.

I watched the game again yesterday. Man United are clueless. They don't know how to press, they don't know when to drop, Ole at the Wheel stands there and looks like he has no idea what is going on. Firmino and Keita absolutely carved them apart. That back four looked like four guys who had never met before just showing up at a park to have a fuck about for a couple of hours. Paul Scholes called it after the Atalanta match earlier in the week. He said Jurgen probably watched that and was rubbing his hands together waiting for Sunday.

I can't think of a better away victory. Ever.

Yeah, I would rather not see Conte. He has baggage and an ego. Apparently he wants full say over transfers. Zidane is a pipe dream. Rodgers would be interesting, but LC would be stupid to let him go. I don't know much about Ten Hag, but Ajax is such a well run organization that it might be a little bit exciting. Not sure who else is out there. I've seen Loew, but I think the chances of that happening are less than the above four combined.

Lucky for the league United might be stuck with Ole for the rest of the year. He's like James Franklin. The talent is there, but can't manage a game to save his life.

They should have spent the Sancho and Ronaldo money on Rice and Phillips. Even with that, I don't think they're being coached, but they should have gone for the need. The need was midfield.

I have always maintained that I'd prefer Messi to Ronaldo because Messi is way less selfish. I don't think there is any question about that now. Ronaldo is a poacher now, and maybe even a really good one, but his presence at United is going to hold them back. Top four could be a real battle for them now.

ten Hag could have his options. I am not sure if I'd take Barca or United if I were him. I'd probably run to the prince at Newcastle.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Germans are fucking savages. lmao

 

[Rogue219]

Supremely talented player isn't getting games, coaching and has walked into a complete shit show. Wouldn't say it's entirely on Sancho.

Carli Lloyd had a hell of a run.

 

[Rogue219]

Mighty West Ham, led by football genius David Moyes, have ended Citah’s League Cup reign of dominance. Converted all 5 PK.

West Ham seem legit

 

[ACamp1900]

Scottish race just got a whole lot more interesting,... would have been even more so if not for a timely horrid penalty call for Rangers. It's unreal how out in the open it is... a bunch of top officials in Scotland are former gers players of are seen in rangers pubs sporting gers tops and,.. nothing done. Then any time gers are down in key games here comes a red or a penalty that shouldn't even have been a foul to begin with... if you all get a sight of today's penalty call... get ready for a good laugh

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

Koeman is out

Man United takes note that Barca fired a former player and hired....a former player.

Saw that, ending an 85 game scoring streak. Insane.

It's nice to see Bayern struggle for a game lol

It's official, Antonio Conte to Spurs.

 

[Cackalacky2.0]

Man.... I really liked Espirito. What he did with Wolves was impressive. I thought he would be a top manager. I think he is a very good manager soooo....is Tottenaham that much of a fucking trainwreck? Brutal he got let go so quickly.

Yeah, he always seemed to conduct himself well. He'll get snatched up pretty quickly.

They are saying Levy is giving Conte 280 million for transfers... You can do a lot of damage with that kind of money.

 

[Rogue219]

Spurs are a disaster.

What's changed there that Conte is going to come in and fix with transfer money? $280M doesn't go as far in January as it does in summer. Is this January money or summer money?

Nobody wanted the job in the first place. Nuno comes in and gets Harry Wankjob Kane sobbing because he couldn't be at Citah winning League Cups. Nuno can't bench him and was basically stuck with a group of players who packed it in after they lost the Champions League final two years ago, had to endure insufferable Mourinho into Covid and have an owner who is kind of a joke. Nuno isn't the issue. Levy is the issue.

English pundits couldn't believe how awful Steve Bruce was treated by Newcastle supporters even though Bruce was far from transparent and lied every time he opened his mouth, but they basically paint Nuno out to be a disaster in his situation at Spurs. Why? Because Bruce is English and Nuno isn't. Goes double for Kane. English players and managers are in the club. Everyone else isn't.

Conte will resign in a year and Kane will be off to Citah. Somebody should get Son out of there while he has some prime years left. Great player who actually gives a damn.

 

[Rogue219]

Reports of Unai Emery to Newcastle.

Massive upgrade from Steve Bruce if they land him.

 

[GowerND11]

I like Nuno, but still have no idea why he thought it was a good idea to join Spurs as their 100th choice. His style and the players, along with the culture of that 2nd rate club were never going to mesh. The failed transfer window a few years back where they brought in no one is coming home to roost right now. Good for Kane for having to endure being unhappy and lazy with them too. I worry what Conte can do, especially just in the near future of possibly giving a quick jolt. However, as mentioned already, the cracks run deep into the foundation there.

 

[Rogue219]

Trent Alexander Arnold has two assists in the first 20 minutes vs Athletico Madrid.

"But his emails."

Yes, yes.

 

[ACamp1900]

Super curious to see how Newcastle handles the transfer window. I doubt they can get many big splashes considering they aren't in Europe coupled with their current domestic standing. However they should be able to strengthen themselves enough to make clear of relegation and go from there... at least hopefully.

They need fringe players. Guys like Divock Origi, Jesse Lingard, Dele Alli. Similar to what Citah did at the start.

Their clubs want to offload them and as regulars for Newcastle they could help get them clear to stay up and then start working toward Champions League Football.

Exactly, fringe players to build the base. You aren't going to get very many high level players without CL football. They could pick up those three and snag Kaylor Navas, it'd definitely take them out of the relegation zone. Make a splash or two in the summer and they are on their way.

 

[notredomer23]

WCQ roster is out.

Dest and Brooks hurt.

Scally gets the call and Pulisic returns. Still no Reyna.

Not sure what Konrad has to do to get a call up. Surprised Ferriera gets the call before Sargent or Pefok. Think that says a lot about where Gregg rates their current form.
