Retired Burner acct

[🧬 FC @ColedRed09]

I was being generous with a couple of names. Don’t think Yashited fans truly grasp how much this squad sucks

[🧬 FC @ColedRed09]

How many of our current players start for Mou’s 17/18 squad that finished second???

Bruno only one for sure. Mainoo/Baleba probably splits time with Matic. Yoro depending on form.

We have regressed so much talent wise. Everything is else is just arguing the margins

This is ain’t FM and football don’t give a shit the players can wipe their ass with more money that fans make in a year.

Talent over everything. Congrats to Utd fans for learning that the hard way!!!

[🧬 FC @ColedRed09]

Utd haven’t had balance squad in damn near 20 years but we always had superstars who kept us relevant.

We no longer have that with mid table PL clubs that can bully the rest of Europe.

The fix is simple. Open up those checkbooks and bring in the 300k p/w players.

lol

[Dr. Umir Irfan @umirf1]

United should sign huge talent not lots of medium talent. Then they should fill the gaps with academy graduates.

[Ethan Strauss @SherwoodStrauss]

Blaming the team owner for team dysfunction is a reactionary take?

[🧬 FC @ColedRed09]

Of course it’s a Canadian FFS!!

[George @GeorgeV_AFC]

Do the fanbase have the patience to allow themselves to hurt to evolve?

Has always been the root cause of their material appointment failures.

[🧬 FC @ColedRed09]

@GeorgeV_AFC @htomufc You don’t know what you’re actually getting at.

Going through tough years with Arteta is not the only way to rebuild( can argue it shouldn’t take that long)

Like H said, we keep alternating between styles and are currently too broke to spend the necessary amounts to compete

[Pauly Kwestel @pkwestel]

Every manager (bar Amorim) has done the same thing. They come in with an idea, quickly realize they won't last long unless they play to the strength of the squad. They do well. Then they try to evolve but get only 3 signings so they still don't have the squad to evolve properly

[Pauly Kwestel @pkwestel]

Pochettino is ~fine. His reputation has always been a bit overblown but he's proven in the PL to be completely competent and fine.

He's about to learn that what all the best coaches always say is true: Managers can't perform miracles

[Adroit Cadet @Adroit_Cadet]

At least one thing Pochettino will be good at will be getting his ideas across in a consise manner pretty quickly

I really get the feel that Carrick's ideas, despite some being good & aligned with the long-term direction we should start going in, were most likely a little too confusing at times. Or just simply didn't create enough clarity on the pitch

I think everything out of possession was a little too 'conditional', which fried the players a little bit

And that's always the danger when you start adding conditional or selective layers to pressing ideas + concepts vs. the ball; you are asking the players to constantly interpret situations + collectively decide "do we engage here?", "wait, did he want us to position the threat of a press but hold position here?"

I don't even think the global idea of a high defensive block + selective pressing/blocking central passes is awful... But any idea that isn't taken on board 100% by the players (for whatever reason) & executed with 100% conviction, will always look terrible

[Adroit Cadet @Adroit_Cadet]

Just not fully sold at all on Pochettino going into 2027 - which might be a little crazy to read for some of my OG followers given how many years I spent begging the club to get him like 7-8 years back

But I fear he already peaked like 10 years ago

His sides in that 2013-18 era were miles ahead of the curve in the PL; conditioned to run and press everyone off the park back then. Margins were big enough to matter back then too. Now, not so sure

Kinda similar to Mourinho in the 2000s where he came in and totally exploited the 442 with his 433. Pulled the league's trousers down

Or when Wenger modernised basic sports science/nutrition + tapped into the European talent pool

Football learns, adapts & catches up though. That's my only concern

Listen, I love Poch. He's one of the good guys - but I hope we're not hiring him on the idea of him in 2016. Which sadly, I suspect we are

...Compounded & heavily inflated by recency bias of a decent World Cup performance with host-nation advantage

[Adroit Cadet @Adroit_Cadet]

Once again, United will probably go out and appoint someone who isn't a tactical continuation of any recent groundwork laid

Amorim --> Carrick --> Poch (?)
rigid 3atb -> possession -> vertical football, intense

Mbeumo, Cunha etc. (half space attackers) were signed for Amorim's narrow attack, not Carrick.

Tielemans + Santos were signed as the beginnings to start committing to a more ball-first model. They weren't signed to play in a run-heavy system

They're talking about this bullshit "one window = one area of the pitch gets addressed" transfer model, when the type of profiles required in said areas change drastically from season to season because they keep fucking changing the coach & any ideologies he had previously signed the other players for

and THEN they have the cheek to wonder why it never works

very sad state of affairs this is the best we have at Carrington

Feel bad for the kid. He knows deep down he didn’t earn it and it’s eating him up

@JonesOnTheNBA When will everyone admit we’d all be better of getting back to a version of broadcast tv. Surely the big corps already have.

@_SwantonBom How can we get rid of that account?

He legit leaped out of his seat for that I’m so rattled
