🚨🚨🎙️| Ian Wright on Elliot Anderson:
“I was a little bit surprised he chose Manchester City over Manchester United if I’m totally honest. Especially with Pep [Guardiola] not being there.” [@itvfootball]
🚨🎙️ Patrice Evra responds to criticism that Michael Carrick lacks structure and tactics:
🗣️ "It’s actually embarrassing seeing people question Michael Carrick’s tactics. You don’t win games without structure. You don’t control matches without a plan.
The problem I have with him is that he makes things look easy. You won't see him on the touchline spreading his hands and all the drama that coaches do. Hence, when he wins people think there’s nothing there. He's one of the most tactical minds I've seen.
These are few of the many things I've spotted under him:
📌 Kobbie Mainoo dropping deep instead of Casemiro. It wasn't like that before now was it? That's on the manager.
📌Bruno Fernandes playing free role. It's becoming impossible to pin him down. That's on the manager.
📌 Using a false nine with Bryan Mbeumo is not old-school just to drags centre-backs and creates space inside.
📌Matheus Cunha as a winger and an extra Midfielder in possession..
📌Luke Shaw not overlapping but instead covering up for an overlapping defender just to balance while still creating width.
He's made his coaching. Clear and deliberate.
So, if you can’t see it, that’s on you.
I'm sure if Carrick had a foreign name, people would be shouting “elite tactician” by now."
@OvwighoC@TheoAbuAgada There you are, the ignorant one. I guess you need a bit of schooling. The statement “Nigeria has been a producer” is in the present perfect, but then it shifts to the past tense. “when you went to.” That’s a clear inconsistency.
Same argument applies to any manager. We’ve already tried elite, proven names and it still failed so experience clearly isn’t the issue.
Carrick understands the club and is getting results. If it’s truly a rebuild, then patience matters more than reputation.
Give him 2 years with proper backing. If it works, great. If not, we move on but at least we stop repeating the same cycle.
@YesItsBash If Michael Carrick had a foreign name and an accent, half of this fanbase would already be calling him a tactical genius.
He’s winning games. He’s steadying the team.
But because it’s just Carrick, suddenly it’s not good enough? Some of these people don’t actually want progress.

Is this about football or just farming engagement? 🔴

Jim Ratcliffe, this is pure hypocrisy. You built global businesses on the back of immigrant labour and international markets, moved to Monaco to reduce your UK tax bill, and now talk about immigrants “colonising” the country?
You benefit from globalisation when it suits you, then blame migrants for political applause. Deeply disappointing especially as the owner of the club I support.
Manchester United part-owner has told @EdConwaySky the UK has been "colonised" by immigrants, who are draining resources from the state, as he warns of the country facing profound political, social and economic challenges.

Sir, while focusing on the economy, please also help clarify the difference between legal and illegal immigration. Many legal migrants work, pay taxes, pay the Immigration Health Surcharge, and have no access to public funds.
Immigrants are not the cause of inflation or the cost-of-living crisis. When this isn’t clearly explained, misinformation grows and fuels division.
Please take time to address this openly. Continued misunderstanding risks creating unnecessary tension and harm within our communities.
It would have been better to clearly differentiate between legal and illegal immigration. Are you classifying everyone together?
I came to the UK legally as an international student. I paid £19,000 in tuition fees and paid the Immigration Health Surcharge. I received no public funds.
Now I work full-time. I pay Income Tax and National Insurance. I pay £1,500 in rent, around £270 monthly for utilities and internet, and I fully support my children without access to public funds.
So which of my bills is the taxpayer covering?
When policies aren’t properly explained, it fuels misunderstanding and resentment. The Home Office has a responsibility to educate the public about how the system actually works, not blur the lines in ways that increase division for political gain.
Legal migrants who contribute deserve fairness, not suspicion.
The British public has footed the bill for an immigration system that feels out of control and unfair.
We’re stopping this.
It is only fair that migrants with an income or sizeable assets will have to contribute to the cost of their stay, not the taxpayer.
