Also, the 5-3-2 seemed like a good move on paper. They have the personnel to have been conservative with 3 CBs facing Sevilla away while maintaining a strong attack, but Benz and Ronnie's link up and flicks were disappointing. Kroos was a non-factor in the middle and we didn't see his trademark long passes.

I don't think I'd want this formation experimented with again though against top opposition. As much as he lacks the excitement factor, RM has a great record when basic game Vasquez plays. So if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Interesting to see no mention of Liverpool using the same tactics we did at anfield [emoji]129300[/emoji]


We need to sort LB out, Darmian offered no support to Martial who had 2-3 men on him at all times.


Fellaini should've been brought on sooner.


Carrick's replacement needs to be bought this summer.

Payet is as good as gone, Marseille are too. Heap to pay the transfer fee...

Why aren't United or Arsenal trying to scoop him up? I don't want to see the dude go to France man

too old... if he was a few years younger, I think they might've been interested

Carrick's replacement needs to be bought this summer.

really was surprised to see him make way at HT for rooney but made sense.. both teams kept bypassing MF so was pointless to have a 3rd body in middle when we were chasing a goal. I would have personally replaced mata with pogba (but that obviously was NEVER gonna happen). Mourinho adapted well to liverpool.. removed a body from MF when it was pointless, then brought in another MF when pool started to exploit the space.. I will say i need pogba to work on his shooting, he's had a clear chance in just about every game.. should have more goals then he does.. I'm sure it will come with time.

Hadnt even realized Barca was in 3rd

I missed the 2nd half.

$400 to win $200 on them winning the league. Thought it was free money

It should be free [emoji]128176[/emoji].
It'll just be a little bit stressful.

Hope so lol. I haven't bet on a game since like September/October. Still have money in my account but I'm gonna withdraw if my juve bet comes through. Sometime around April/May

I agree.  The finishing isn't there for Pogba.  He's had multiple goal scoring chances throughout the season and all of those times he's hit the woodwork.  United would definitely be in a different position right now if he had finished all of those chances.

Barca really has to sell Arda and Rakitic in order to keep Messi?

 

[rolaholic]

I'll take a flyer on Rakitic as a potential Carrick successor...

Wasn't too long ago we were calling Manchester the epicenter of the football world. How the times have changed

It's been a steady rebuild since SAF left.  This is the first time since his departure that the club is pointing in the right direction.  Because we were great for a long time, rival fans are taking their shots (I'm not even mad).  

I can actually feel positive about the club and it's direction

Didn't know Lookman signed for Everton. I know he was linked with Arsenal for a minute but I hope this kid flourishes.

The early days of the season when City was winning every game and Pep was the savior that was to "change English football forever" seem so distant now.

The media and people have a tendency to overblow things early on instead of letting the season play out its course.

 

[QU!K]

They tried to trap him with the will you win the quintuple question too

Didn't fall for the bait like LVG

 

[larryeastwood]

Conte has every team in the world wanting to try the 3-4-3 or some variation of it. He has low key done more for than the English game than pep.


Also conte recalled Patrick bamford. I like where he is going with this

Pogba can play all 10 outfield positions 

 

[rolaholic]

I was gonna post those quotes ,Chiellini knows

He said Juve's weaker this year without him and they haven't found the same balance yet

*Think the exact quote was "the LBJ of MFers"

 

[SadBoi]

Missing Pogba and Vidal terribly. Hoping Rincon would be the next Vidal.

Giorgio Chiellini clearly doesn't watch basketball

If I was Lebron I would feel insulted

Lebron is like the Cristiano Ronaldo of basketball
