Flayer posted:The best thing Pogba ever did was score a banger of a goal to put France 3-1 up vs Switzerland, go through about 5 separate goal celebration routines and then going on to make the error that gave the Swiss the chance to equalize in injury time. Also then losing on penalties this checks out. also granit loving xhaka was MOTM in this match. who do you think let that happen? EC10 fucked around with this message at 08:35 on Nov 26, 2021 |

I'm doing all the lols imagining Rangnick explaining the gegenpress to Ronaldo and expecting him to do it. More excited about the 2 year consultancy. Having an actual football brain informing decisions is bizarrely sensible.

It could be a good move for Utd so long as he can work well with however the manager ends up being. Otherwise could just cause more division.

That’s almost certainly just a way to give him more money over time for taking a 6 month gig. He’ll probably be actually employed by someone else, although I’m sure he’d be happy to send United some advanced stats spreadsheets during those two years if they asked.

I'm sure there will be an almost instant new manager bounce and it will be interesting to see how/if the current crop of players cope with a pressing philosophy because as good as the manager is, if the players cant execute the strategy it wont make much difference.

vyelkin posted:also when considering bad PL signing how can we forget the man himself, Big Jozy, who came from the Netherlands for millions of pounds, scored like 1 goal in 50 appearances, and went back to MLS forever pages late but this was my initial introduction to TRP, vehemently defending Jozy as a non-trashman at every turn. I had a weird job working doubles on the weekends where I had ample free time to sit and watch so I sat through the entire Jozy Chronicles while getting paid, the only way anyone should have watched that.

Turns out this whole time Carrick has been trying to convince Ole that Phil Jones is good, and now that he gets to name the teamsheet he's going all Phil Jones all the time. Phil Jones next to Harry Maguire, Phil Jones making the face and yelling at him, and all of a sudden the Manchester United defence is good and Carrick gets a 10-year contract.

It's interesting that Liverpool and particularly Chelsea seem to have got quite good at managing the injury and playing time risks for their kids and its paying off enormously. I know both clubs have devoted a lot of time and money that way, so it's clearly not easy

The problem is every time a 16/17 year old breaks into a PL team every kid in an academy thinks they are next and a load of them take bad career advice thinking the PL teams have their best interests at heart when demonstrably that is not the case.
