Can't believe City went into the season with just Gabriel Jesus of typical strikers. That is like us having only Abraham for example and no Lukaku and Werner. 

He is their only recognised CF and ironic thing is he plays out wide for City. I am not sure if Jesus has started one game in the CF position for them. They have played with Foden, KDB and Torres in that position. Jesus been used as a winger. They will have games where it works but also games against opposition (eg Palace, Southampton), where they fire blanks. I was relieved when they did not buy a CF tbh. Thought it may give us an advantage.

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.

You are underestimating Conte impact, he could make them a contender for the top 4.

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.

Ole basically already lost more than half of United's dressing room, he is a dead men walking.

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.

It's better for us if Conte goes to Spurs instead of Man Utd. Then again I find it a bit weird, why would he want to join them now when they're in a mess already after rejecting them in the summer when he could've gotten a clean start and give his input on some signings? Doesn't make much sense and it still feels like they're way too small for a world class manager like him.

It is a bad day to be a Man Utd fan. They hesitated and look to see Conte go to Spurs. Stuck with Ole or a caretaker for the rest of the year. With their players openly criticizing Ole, they could fall out of European football and not attract a decent manager after this season.

November is looking good!

Because Man Utd did not show him some love and he wants back in the Prem… and he loves London. Whatever Levy would not give him in the summer, he will probably get now.
