Chances increasing for weeks as reported and everyone at #MUFC feels he should stay.

Players, management, everyone on same page.

Next step: talks to final stages and new deal.

[JJ Bull @jj_bull]

players have also definitely figured out that if they feel any sort of physical contact from an opponent and go down howling like they're being mauled by a wolf, VAR has to check it

[. @saundzo]

Dalot is an example many could learn from that, as with every player, you have to compromise, there is no perfection. They’re compared to guys from an era where f’ball as environment is DIFFERENT. The level of physical & technical competence he offers is too easily undervalued.

🚨❤️💙 Crystal Palace agree deal to sign Jørgen Strand Larsen from Wolves, here we go! Transfer fee will be £45m plus £5m add-ons.

@LickshotLippy Just because mbeumo isn’t a “creator” or “dribbler” doesn’t mean you can’t draw a comparison between the two

@r1medi @LibanLDN I agree with they are both different profiles.

But at some point forwards have to be judged on their output

3NPG in the league is a huge drop off even if you’re accounting for arsenals attack being dysfunctional as a whole.

Lisandro Martinez vs. Arsenal

[Ⓜ️ @BeforeTheTouch]

Lisandro has huge weaknesses defensively but on the ball he offers so so much

Shapes his hips and shoulders away from the receiver.

Punches the ball flat in between the lines

Playing players to their instincts

Multi-directional football

[The Club @TheClubLiveTw]

2-3 MAN U!! WHAT. A. GAME.

🚨🚨🎙️| Howard Webb on Diogo Dalot’s foul on Jeremy Doku:

“I know other people think it's clearly red. I don't agree - I think there's a mix of considerations.

I know that when we look at this, we see that the point of contact is on the knee, but we also have to factor in speed, force and intensity.

You'll not see many red cards in the Premier League for serious foul play that don't involve those things.

Now, we evaluate those things through a full-speed view of the incident. Without looking at it at full speed, you get kind of a distorted view. You don't get a true picture of how much force and speed there was in the challenge.

That foot touches the knee, comes off pretty quickly. We can see on slow-mo that it does touch that knee.

But at full speed, when you play it in real time, you can see there's not a great deal of speed in the action. Not a lot of intensity.

When you slow it down it can look a lot worse - and it does. When you freeze frame it, you can make a lot of situations look like red-card offences.”

Being able to translate complex theories to practical in game scenarios is a great sign of a good coach.

Hence why elite managers make the game sound so simple

[Umir Irfan @umirf1]

A good head coach plays a balanced side, profile players properly according to their strengths, minimises their weaknesses and plays to relationships between players. They speak well, and make tweaks whilst retaining your principles game-by-game to exploit opposition weaknesses.

[Juani Jimena @JimenaJuani]

A very passionate Pep explaining why it is better to attack through the middle of the pitch, than through the sideline. Despite the risk that sometimes it will go wrong. 🤯

Self-belief is a multiplier, not a foundation.

At the elite level, technique sets the ceiling, belief just determines how often you reach it.

Relying on belief to bridge technical gaps usually leads to patchy form.

[EBL @EBL2017]

If Gyökeres’ self-belief ain’t what I thought it was, then he’ll fail, and I’ll happily eat humble pie.

But sometimes you’ve got to give time, time.

[UtdArena @UtdArena]

100% the right decision and he was given far more time than he deserved.

[Roby @RobyPoto]

The cognitive intelligence to track the runner and not follow the ball in a split-second decision.

How many defenders keep ball-watching and leave the runner free in his blind-spot?

Look at the speed he's processing information at, a 1% brain.

[UtdArena @UtdArena]

The double-yellow-“stop-it-boys” problem solving from referees.
