Manchester United Football Club 20/21

With a game in hand heā€™s 5 points behind Liverpool. Itā€™s mental you think heā€™s 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.

Itā€™s 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.

Theyā€™ll not break into the next level without top players like Pogba.

Dunno whyā€™re you giving oxygen to the trolls.

The basic reason that thereā€™s pressure on Ole is that heā€™s 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.

Heā€™s on strike two as far as Iā€™m concerned. Heā€™s done great work and the squad and culture of the squad, Pogba aside, is at itā€™s best since Fergie retired. Heā€™ll have to show heā€™s learned from this stumbling blocks or itā€™s time up.

My biggest issue with the progress that theyā€™re 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 timeā€™s as any other English club. Iā€™d agree though coming from the English league is tough. The standard is awful. Playing Southampton and West Ham doesnā€™t prepare you for Leipzig and PSG.

They are trolling themselves. Theyā€™ve a bizarre obsession with ole being sacked. Theyā€™ve called for his head a number of times already this season. Itā€™s 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 wouldnā€™t enjoy that benefit

Ole needs to make peace with Pogba, his inability to do so is the blackest mark against his tenure.

no one biting lad , give it up :joy:

Southampton and West Ham would easily have gotten the necessary draw against Leipzig. West Brom gave Utd a harder game than Leipzig at Old Trafford.

How do you come To that conclusion? They couldnā€™t 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.

PSG are battle hardened from the week to week slog of the ultra competitive French league?

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 couldnā€™t get contracts at PSG and they are finding life in the EPL very easy. Silva is already the best defender in the league.

United beat Leipzig 5-0. United needed referee intervention on numerous occasions to beat West Brom 1-0.

United will beat city this weekend, which is ideal in the long run.

When was the last time a Premier League team got to a Euopean final Dan?

I think a few Liverpool fans are struggling to come to terms with how weak the epl is.

The history books wonā€™t show how weak that year was, all the one.

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
