For me the squad is not great but not terrible. If we keep Conte and bring a good striker in, we will be doing better than our current situation. So is Conte is better manager than Sarri? Maybe but with this squad that Conte and Mou built the answer is 100% yes. For me the question more on the long term. What kind of team that we want in 3 years in maybe post Hazard era.

Wait so CHO is actually not better than Willian and Pedro. People think football manager are stupied but we watch this player only for 90 min maximum every 3 days, whereas they watched them every day in training, analyse them in detail, what they are good at, what they are bad at.

I disagree that Mourinho 2nd term is a short term thinking. We sold kdb, Lukaku, salah and signed much ready player s n Costa and fab. It gave us 2 title but now we are back to square one.

What he said is actually 100% right. As Chelsea fans we should know it better. We won ucl with awful team, yet our monster team under Mou and ancelotti didn't win it. UCL is a knockout competition, you need to be good but more importantly you need to be lucky

He is a united legend and most pundits are his peers and friends. They won't attack him. Plus he is beloved by United fans so they won't criticize him either. People keep saying winning is the most important thing, yes on short term. But it is a dangerous proposition to keep winning when you keep creating less chances than your opp, eventually your luck will run out.

One thing I realize about Ole. He is like fans dream manager. Say all the correct thing that fans want to hear. Grit, United way, run more, work harder, care about the badge plus he is a club legend. But this kind of thing are just empty. Yes in short term they are good but in long term you need to proper build up, how can we score, how do we want to defend. Otherwise you just sound like pundits.

We were in relegation zone under Mou. Any manager in top 6/10 club will get sacked if he is in relegation zone. I don't know why Conte got sacked. Maybe top 4 was the target. For me, I don't care who the manager is. Give him two years, as long as we are not in crazy position,there is no reason to fire him. After two years, then you evaluate. If you think you are getting better both in term of result and performance, keep him otherwise sack him.

Do you think teams have 2 weeks to prepare for a match. You play games every 3 days, you can't have plan a, b, c. Every team has plan a, they change a bit but in general you play the same way.

Lol this is absolutely bad argument. Signing player has nothing to do with manager. It come down to the club. Do you think klopp will say, no if the can sign wc player. Nope don't need him.

Lol

Because different team require different expectations. Jose Mourinho got fired in the 2nd term because we are in relegation zone. Conte got fired because honesty the moment the board didn't extend his contract in his 2nd year, I know we are going to different direction

Not really. They beat spurs. They got draw against pool where they had the best chances in the game. We are not exactly a great team

I don't understand with all this so called pundit keep talking about united player are not good enough. This United team is good, they arguably should have finished in top 4 comfortably. Yes defensively especially at fb they suspect but offensively I don't understand how they are not good offensively. It is difficult to improve from martial, Lukaku, Rashford being supported by pogba.

Yup, I know it was unsustainable. With Ole, they are happier but not really playing better. In fact in some game I thought they are worse. Against spurs they actually played better when they lose 3-0 under Mou then when they won 1-0. But they won, so you can't argue with them. You can explain how they are just lucky but they won.

Depend on how we want to play. Still not very comfortable on the ball

Not surprised about United. In they wonderful spell, Pogba was monster but they actually played poorly in most games but still won. It was unsustainable. I was surprised when they appointed him as permanent manager but good for js if they got Poch with transfer backing they will be monster team in no time

Has hazard won player of the year? He is imo has been the best player in epl for quite some time now.

I have just realized if Arsenal win all of their remaining game they will finish 3rd. That is one one hell of an achievement for Arsenal. The are imo the 6th best team this season in term of squad behind us

It comes down to money, if epl generate more and more TV money, eventually it will come

Expectation. Mo salah is having a very good year but last year everything went his way in epl. Now people expect him to deliver messisesque number every year otherwise it is not good a season.

It feel like VAR create another problem. Uefa did not train their ref in term of how to use VAR properly and when VAR is used. This round Salah should have been red carded against Porto in the 1st leg. Not sure why VAR did not interfere. Llorente goal was a handball. Again, both incidents were missed by VAR.

This is the worst part of that decision. I am sorry but right now there need to be a better training on VAR. Some of the decision is ridiculous. There is no point of having us waiting for so long to get a completely wrong result. Even some ot the judgment call is bad but this one is not judgment call, or tight offside call,it was clear.

Agree. It is like a completely different sport back in Pele and Maradona era, so it is a difficult comparison. I don't think he has been spectacular for Argentina but he is still pretty good. But in national team, the most important thing is your defense. Of course no one will tak about it but France won wc not because of griezman or pogba or mbappe but because of matuidi, Kante, varane.

If I were a betting man, I will bet pool over barca. This pool team is designed to beat team like barca. High pressing and with lightning quick front 3. It is like the perfect combination against Barca. Of course there is Messi factor but they will concede goals even before Messi can wave his magic feet.

The problem with Messi is he is consistently good. His the best player I have seen. This will definitely offend plenty of people but I honestly don't even compare him to Ronaldo. He is at completely different level.
