With a game in hand heās 5 points behind Liverpool. Itās mental you think heās under pressure. Liverpool fans unexplained obsession with ole is reaching new levels claiming he was under pressure from last night.
Man united have barely featured in the champions league for 7 seasons now. They were drawn in a group with two of last years semi finalists. They were always going to be up against it.
Itās difficult for the minnows to break in to the next tier of European football. United could now have their best players targeted by more established clubs like Dortmund, Munchengladbach, Porto etc.
The basic reason that thereās pressure on Ole is that heās made a couple of bad decisions re team selection, the transfer dealings of Woodward and Judge are comical. Picking an unfit Shaw and a stationary Matic over VDB was the sword he fell on last night.
Heās on strike two as far as Iām concerned. Heās done great work and the squad and culture of the squad, Pogba aside, is at itās best since Fergie retired. Heāll have to show heās learned from this stumbling blocks or itās time up.
My biggest issue with the progress that theyāre trying to make is the failure to recognise that you will win little or nothing without a solid back four. Persisting with Lindelof and Maguire is idiocy in the extreme.
Well since the champions league started in the early 90s man united have won it as many timeās as any other English club. Iād agree though coming from the English league is tough. The standard is awful. Playing Southampton and West Ham doesnāt prepare you for Leipzig and PSG.
They are trolling themselves. Theyāve a bizarre obsession with ole being sacked. Theyāve called for his head a number of times already this season. Itās unusual.
Coach Ole is adding 15 points a season as his genial manner is persuading officials to favour his team. A more combative figure like Jose wouldnāt enjoy that benefit
How do you come To that conclusion? They couldnāt even beat man united ? Leipzig dumped athletico Madrid out of the competition in July who in turn humiliated Liverpool. Liverpool were top of the pile in England last season.
Two French teams made the semi final of the champions league last season. PSG are regulars in the knockout phase for a few seasons now.
Thiago Silva and Edison Cavani couldnāt get contracts at PSG and they are finding life in the EPL very easy. Silva is already the best defender in the league.
Liverpool got 97 points in the EPL when the league was it at its strongest and 99 points when it was at its weakest. 3 out of the four teams qualifying with a game to spare suggests it may be strong again this year
