How you gonna fire your coach after your best result of the season while in a relegation battle (beating Sheffield doesn’t count)? West brom finishing 19th confirmed

And in a few days they'll win at Anfield after all those years!! But City remains the favorite imo.

I just looked into the Kieran trippier stuff and holy fuck this is almost as retarded as the Cavani stuff. You’re giving this man a 10 week ban just bc his exact words were “lump on it if you want, mate” when asked if his friend should bet €20-300 on the transfer 3 days before it happened? That’s not the proof of “reassurance” they’re after. It sounds more like he’s telling the guy “yea go for it” like when you want to say “I’m not gonna stop you from doing that or tell you what to do, I don’t give a shit”

So, another semi-final exit for United. Same old, same old. This year seems to be reversed last year, managing to win against the "easier" sides but coming up short against the good sides more often than not. Beaten by a better side they say, and that's true, but not really because they have better players but because of Guardiola. I actaully think that this year we have as good a side as any of the other sides in the league and we should be able to set our stamp more on these kind of games (as I believe that we do not primarily want to play on counters).

They DO wamt to play on counters, actually. That's the feeling I get. P,us, they are very good on counter attacks, probably the best in the league.

Yeah, we have great counter attacking players, especially against high lines, and we do play them very well. City seems to be really at it this year as well counter attack wise. However, I still get the feeling that this is not what Ole actually intends for us (not in the way that Mourinho clealy intends to play that way against the other top contenders), more like the way it ends up as the team simply cannot retain the ball as well as it should be able to. But I might be wrong about that.

But I might be wrong about that. Mourinho always played that style of football (maybe Real Madrid was the exception, I can't remember). But playing that way theoretically protects your defense... When he tried to play this in MU, he ended up conceding too many goals because he had a weak defense. I think that's the main reason Ole tries to do the same thing: He wants to armor his defense and take advantage of his fast and high quality midfielders and attackers. Thing is, Maguire, Lindelof, Bissaka and Shaw seem to be in good form and Bailly has returned but I still think we have issues in the defensive behavior: Too many personal mistakes and very few clean sheets...

Yeah, I think we have a lot of issues in the defensive behaviour and orginasation as well. I think it is down to both personal mistakes and that Ole doesn't really seem to have a specific way for us to play as it varies depending on opposition. We probably could concede a lot fewer goals with a more defensive approach (Mourinho managed to concede pretty few goals while featuring the likes of Jones, Smalling and Rojo frequently in the defense) but we are clearly trying for a more possession based style with higher pressing when we play easier oppositon. It's just that we struggle greatly to keep the ball when we come up against good sides that decides to press us. Maybe it's the lack of a good ball playing defensive midfielder, I do not know.

Bailly’s been playing well and should probably be starting ahead of lindelof. Bring in another right back to push wan-bissaka bc that will actually elevate his level of play. Not a coincidence that Luke Shaw hasn’t made me want to gouge my eyes out every time he touches the ball once telles started getting regular playing time on this team

Offensively tbh, just remember his stupid penalty against Arsenal...
