Carabao (EFL) Cup 18/19

[Gecklund]

There’s probably not a single person I wouldn’t take over Mou at this point.

Pretty close to accurate. I think with both Blanc and Zidane though that we have to go after one of them

 

[maclean]

Since when did Zidane become a tactical master? Is it all those numerous La Liga titles he won with Real? Because I don't see the point of bringing up the UCL titles when United and Real squads are built just a liiiiitle bit differently.

One thing that Zidane seems to excel by all accounts at is getting players to fire on all cylinders, something that United has been sorely lacking for some time. I can understand the line of thought that getting all that wasted talent there more motivated is worth more at the moment than tactical genious

On paper, United should be challenging for the title. On the field, they are challenging for 6th. If Zidane comes in and gets the best or at least average of all players then we would be great. Pogba, Matic, Lukaku, Alexis, Martial, Rashford, Bailly, Lindelof, Shaw and De Gea. On paper we are really good.

Meh I don’t think we’re title contenders yet. We should have 0 issues finishing top 4 and realistically are the 3rd/4th best team in the league.

Maybe not complete title contenders but pretty close. Bring in a CB during the winter or hope Lindelof can continue playing well. Bring in a RB or hope Dalot can develop into one.

 

[Il Mediano]

Yeah , I dunno ... City, Liverpool and Chelsea are locks , imo ... that leaves you and Spurs to duke it out for 4th.

I give the edge to Spurs , if I'm honest.

Right now I totally agree but if everyone plays at least average then United are better than Chelsea

Were at best the 3rd best team in the league. Liverpool and City are waaayyy ahead of us rn. We’re definitely better than arsenal, and around the same level as spurs and Chelsea. But that’s on paper. With Mou we’re probably only better than Arsenal atm.

Arsenal will get 4th.

 

[Gecklund]

Arsenal will get 4th.

Doubt it. They have a worse defense than United.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Arsenal will get 4th.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

 

[Il Mediano]

Arsenal will get 4th.

I would bet you so much money that they won't.

 

[YNWA14]

I would bet you so much money that they won't.

They're better than United and similar to Spurs but Spurs look to be trending down while Arsenal will improve as the season go on and they adapt more to the new manager.

Watching all 3 play it's clear that Arsenal have looked the better of the 3 and they're the most likely to trend upward of those.

 

[YNWA14]

Nice rotated side for Liverpool.

Mignolet
Clyne - Matip - Lovren - Moreno
Fabinho
Milner - Keita
Shaqiri - Sturridge - Mane​

 

[Live in the Now]

Fabinho to dominate.

 

[gary69]

Not the best of opponents yesterday, but Phil Foden had a very good game, great long range passing from him.

 

[YNWA14]

Moreno is just so dumb.

 

[Baxterman]

Surprised by the Tottenham squad today.

I would have thought Foyth would be in over Alderweireld and that Walker-Peters would have played.

No excuse to lose even with no Kane or Erickson.

 

[YNWA14]

Chelsea getting away with a lot.

How that was a yellow when Christensen came in with a two legged scissor free of anything...

Azpi following up with a nice elbow to Mane's ribs.

 

[Live in the Now]

Fabinho seems to not understand yet how intense these games are. Has to move the ball far quicker.

 

[Prntscrn]

That was a handball. That was not a natural position, that was a reaction

 

[YNWA14]

How was THAT not a handball? He pushed his arms out in front of himself lol.

 

[Live in the Now]

Shaq is excellent in these tactics. Looks nothing like the same player he's been the last few years.

 

[S E P H]

Absolutely perfect team goal by Arsenal leading to Welbeck scoring for his second of the game. Unbelievable move by Mkhi on that play.

 

[Live in the Now]

Referee in dickhead shocker. Barkley flies in studs up on Keita and isn't even booked.
