So - those that won get a high grade, and those that didn't, don't.
Wonder who racked their brains working that one out.

 

I don't get it.

I could understand someone putting west ham high up after beating a big name... but... leicester? regulation handy win against one of the worst teams currently in prem... even if away.

how can say cardiff who are the pits get a higher rating than newcastle then?

anyway... i dunno.

 

Apology accepted

 

He’s being stubborn. He does actually find it funny but won’t admit it due to missing the point in the first place and looking like a tool.

 

cept its not funny....

 

Manchester United have huge job to persuade Zinedine Zidane to take over if they sack Jose Mourinho

• Zinedine Zidane would have to think if asked to join Manchester United
• It would not be easy to persuade him to take charge at Old Trafford
• Coach feels he does not need to test himself at club that needs major surgery
• Getting the best out of Paul Pogba could change the Frenchman's mind

It's the same old problem with Zidane coming from Real; surely most managers would do a decent job there with the embarrassment of riches and players they have.They've also really underperformed in the league recently, although their European success has been second to none.

Same as Guardiola who's gone from top club in Spain to comfortably the top club in Germany to comfortably the top club in England. How good is he?

United need to get a proper manager in to sort them out, not a big ego name. Mourinho was never the solution to sort them out, I can't see Zidane being the answer either. I mean, I hope they don't get sorted like...but that's what they need to do

tbf his record in the league wasn't great. 1 title in 3 years and in a two horse race they finished 3rd last season.

However he is a name, a name with positivity attached (unlike Jose who is a name with lots of negatives attached). Players that turned them down this summer might have joined if Zidane was in charge.

Depends on whether Man U would be willing to let Zidane find his feet (how good is he at turning around a struggling team?) and pretty much accept they'd get very little out of this season (maybe missing out on any European football) and wait for January or the Summer.

That being said Zidane could provide a bounce and lift the air of doom. Its only really the defence thats utter ****e.

 

I really don't know what sit and would.do to spin this lot about.

mourinho seems to be minding that new rb cos he bought him injured.

lb should be Shaw.

cbs have all be torn apart by mourinho. they have to have 2 that are not disastrous.

they have de gea

midfield 3 just have to actually be bothered. it's all about who striking pogpoo. Herrera for me plus matic.

then up top.. rashford left.. not sure who to put right... i would be happy to stick Sanchez as a false 9 rather than lucky.

would.it get back into top 4 race.

de gea
diogo bailly stalling Shaw (not great at cv)
Herrera matic
Pogba
martial sanchez rashford

maybe mata for martial but i went for pace.

 

They should go for Poch and give him time to sort it out.

Even though the Spurs meltdown would be epic, I hope they don't.

 

Bournemouth started really well. Entertaining game so far.

 

Assuming Poch is being held back at Spurs by Levy and not just because he has no ideas on how to progress them further

 

Not sure why people always bring in 3 years on Zidane. He joined in January with real when the title was already out of reach so really he failed in 1 out of 2 years in the league

Can only see that going to Mbappe

 

There's a link at the bottom to the website, it's open vote for the winner, in reality you're probably right but as of a few minutes ago a kid from Holland was in the lead.
