Probably means if United are to make a change it won’t be until the season is over. They’re stuck with him for good now that the only world class replacement is off the table. It also probably means that if Ole does go at season’s end they’ll either hope Pochettino is gone from PSG or they’ll target one of the two hot property British managers in Rodgers or Potter. To be honest I think Rodgers would be a smart longer term hire. Either way United will have the weakest, least accomplished manager BY FAR of the top clubs for the foreseeable future.

They’ll get a new manager bounce and should be much more effective against all the teams they should be beating under Conte. But I still think they’ll struggle against the top teams with the personnel they have. Thankfully we’re pretty much out of sight already unless a meltdown of historic proportions happens. But if I were a United, Arse, Leicester, or Wet Spam supporter I’d be very worried right about now.

Contender for sure. Kane will finally have a manager who will wake him up from his tantrum. But I don’t think their squad is good enough even for Conte yet. I can’t see them finishing above United even with Ole at the wheel.

Ughhh. Mourinho and now Conte, two managers I’ve loved, going to a club I detest. 🤢 Whilst I don’t think even Conte can get this mess of a Spuds team into the top 4 this season I’ll still hate to see him go there. United fans are in meltdown, though. 😂 Imagine if they fuck it up against Atalanta and get smoked by City at the weekend and Ole is straight back into crisis. Then they’ve missed out on the only world class manager available by mere days. After they were responsible for handing Conte the job at Spuds! It would be glorious.

For sure. The combo of his nationality and his age drive his price up two or three fold. He’s the type of player you can plug into your XI for a decade so I think the massive outlay is worth it.

Moyes is at the perfect level of club for him just like at Everton. Where he’s got a team full of very good but not super star level players who buy into his coaching. He would never work at one of the very biggest clubs where massive egos wouldn’t put up with his tactics and style. It is pretty hilarious that West Ham have a MUCH better manager than the club who sacked him, though. 😂

Again, though, what if he asks to leave and hands in a transfer request? If his boyhood club comes calling where some of his best mates ll,e Mount and Chilly play his head is going to be turned. West Ham can of course say no but we’ve seen with Harry Kane what happens when you force a player to stay against his will.

Don’t think it’s that far fetched at all. He’s a player that can instantly balance any top team in midfield and provide security to a defense. Something that every team other than us is in need of. RLC and Gallagher are much more forward minded and box to box than Rice. They’re both #8’s whereas Rice is a 6. I agree that he won’t be an absolute priority signing. But as a long term Kante or Jorginho successor he should be atop the list at some point. Just hope neither of the Manchester clubs go sniffing around this coming summer. Liverpool won’t pay 100m. Him at the base of United’s midfield would be sickening.

Oh, they for sure won’t want to. But if he really pushes to go (and they don’t finish top 4 again) I can see them selling for a ridiculous price. Probably the same sort of price Grealish went for.

He’s an awesome player who deserves to play at the very top level. He would slot right in effortlessly at any of the “big 4.”

West Ham are once again a legit team. Fair play to Moyes that they weren’t a one season fluke last year. They are very well balanced. And Rice has been great as usual. We HAVE to be first in the queue to buy him either next summer or the year after. Cannot allow him to go to a rival. The strong Chelsea connections should give us a huge leg up on anyone else.

Aww. Was hoping for a draw here. But if there’s one team who you can always, ALWAYS count on to choke like a pornstar in a big match it’s Spuds. They’re lucky to even be where they are. They’ve been this dreadful all season but fluked quite a few wins.

Lo Celso is a horrendous player. And then Nuno brings off Lucas instead of him. 😂

Look at our goal difference compared to Arse and United. 😂😂😂 After just 10 matches.

Pace, tempo, precision, arrogance. WHAT a second half display! Polar opposite compared to the first half.

REECE FUCKING JAMES!1!!!!!

Burnley is going to be just like Newcastle here next week against us. This is why 3 points is necessary. Or else we risk having two poor results on the bounce.

It’s Reece’s that’s really frustrating because we know he’s capable of making spectacular crosses. But they only seem to come when we’re on the counter. When he has to cross against defenders that are already in position and set his delivery is woeful.

I love Kai, but he is terrible at playing up top against deep defenses with huge CB’s like this. He needs space to run into and to be running at defenders. He’s almost useless with his back to goal and gets pushed around too easily. Also doesn’t help that Kante and Jorginho have basically zero eye for a creative through ball. Trouble is we have no other fit player to switch things up.

This feels like a performance straight out of the Sarri era. All of the ball with zero penetration. And wow, it seems like every one of our players has forgotten how to cross a football overnight. Wtf is going on? Or stay onside for that matter. We still look clueless way too often in attacking areas. Like a group of strangers on the pitch together for the first time.

We’re keeping the ball well but aren’t causing their keeper to do any work. So annoying.

Slow, sideways passing between our CB’s and fullbacks isn’t going to hurt them. We’re giving them exactly what they will have wanted. They can just sit deep and negate us.

I like the XI. But without Mase let’s hope our pressing and work rate don’t suffer. As bad a Newcastle are as a whole they still have a couple of scary players in Saint-Maximin & Callum Wilson who can kill you on any given day. We need to dominate early here so we don’t give them hope that they can get a result.

No European football should help them stay fresh as well. Playing like they have been recently I’d be worried if I were Man United.

Leicester look like they’re still in bed. Zero effort at all.
