Who is the worst manager compared to how good a player they were? 1) Mourinho at his prime, probably. Though Arrigo Sachi was supposedly so terrible he didn't even play for his factory's team. 2) Maradona. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Consigliere Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 United have been shit but at least we are still part of the hunt for that 4th/5th place. Chelsea coming off a disastrous season have shown zero improvement this season and have been FAR worse than United (they don't even have any European fixtures to contend with either). Poch should be getting the heat that Ten Hag is getting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A Horse Named Stranger Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Race for routh is gonna be really interesting in the EPL. I think the assumption should still be City, Liverpool and Arsenal qualifying for the CL,while the fourth team has changed a bit this season. First it looked like Newcastle and Spurs were fighting it out, now Villa looks like the proverbial flavour of the month. Personally, I'd find it immensely funny if City were to miss out, but we all know, they will win the league in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consigliere Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Just now, BigFatCoward said: yeah, its a big worry. Trips has been looking knackered. His recent spate of errors is likely down to fatigue. Howe needs to give him a rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not anything new - United, Liverpool and Arsenal tend to get shit on by the media more than the other clubs when things aren't going well.

Yeah he's so frustrating, such a monumental defender but just puts in these shocker tackles for no reason. With about 4 red cards so far I wouldn't see he's been getting away with it most of the time though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darryk Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Got to admire Newcastle's never-say-die attitude, even at 3 goals up I didn't feel secure. I never believed we were in crisis mode as the football we were playing was good despite not getting the results but it's obviously a big relief to get a win finally.

Rorshach Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 Still loving the solidity we show, and McMessi's return to form. Now, Chelsea at this juncture was always a team we should beat at home, but it's good to take care of business anyway. And great to see Dobbin get his first goal.

BigFatCoward Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Wish I had 50 quid on Girona, Leverkusen and Villa at the start of the season. Long may it continue. I'm guessing those managers will be on the move come the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom was like, "Nice, free clothes." My dad was not as happy (the Packers are our team's main rivals). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
