@imnayemhasan@AcademyScoop They 1000% do. Fundamentally a managers job is to improve players through coaching. How many players post SAF have become better players through joining United? Coaches have had 2/3 year terms which is more than enough to develop players.
I think one of the things that both Carrick and Ten Hag’s stints in charge have really emphasised to me is just how important it is that a United manager is a good public speaker. It buys you so much grace with fans and media, such a big reason why United fans still love Amorim.
@Hosang That’s such an insane argument - because a player has been booed by their own fans they were not a top player? Some of the best players in history have been booed by their own fans…
Carrick is held in the highest regard by managers he worked under and fellow team mates and pros.
Carrick wasn’t even that great a player. Jeered by United fans plenty for being a much worse version of Scholes and Keane that didn’t run or pass forward.
And a 2nd tier manager that lowered standards, couldn’t inspire anyone and left us in the relegation zone.
On to the next thing.
I think one of the biggest upsides of Poch is that at his best he really improves players. I look at someone like Leny Yoro and just see someone who has been crying out for actually decent coaching.
Have been a big Poch fan for years. Think it’s years too late however. Don’t think you can read too much into his PSG stint but his Chelsea stint is definitely the biggest cause for concern. They were horrendous under him in every way possible.
Not a huge fan of the grand slam going to 3 per group if it means only one is going through. A player gets beat heavily first game the likelihood is that will be them out.
He’s just not enough of anything, that’s his issue. He isn’t creative enough to be a 10 and doesn’t get into goal scoring positions enough to be a 9 for a top team. Think he’s just awkward to fit in.
Funny, I actually love Zirkzee
part of me says he’s never been given a run, the other says he’s just not suited to the league and will flourish elsewhere—either way a top player there imo
The players care it’s just that so many of them lack brain cells. The board will give Carrick another game purely as they are scared to take the flack for sacking him.
