The list of #worldclass managers is out

Jose isn't on it

Just watching the highlights of city Barca game. Commentator creaming himself over KDB free kick...it went right at the keeper who dived underneath it and then aguero hand balled the 3rd to gundogan to set him up lol

 

They would've lost 5-3 on aggregate, too. I think an important part of playing in the CL and two legged knockout competitions is to be able to go away from home, restrict the opposition team from scoring and getting away goal, something City failed to do. I know it was only a group game but they really need to improve their defensive side or they will not win the thing.

 

Man Utd's U21 manager has left since there's nothing to do since Jose arrived

Keane but more so City fan Dixon were gushing over performance. Not seen whole game so can't comment but first goal Barca just sloppily gave ball away and other 2 were very soft. Fair play city for winning and not being hammered but as you say, 4-0 they lost away from Home so they did seem to be getting carried away with things.

Coming 2nd might actually be beneficial to some teams though. Juve, Bayern, Madrid all 2nd so far. Be hilarious if Arsenal finally win their group and get one of the above 3 in last 16

 

Tottenham needs to win their next two games to be certain of staying in the chamapion
league.
Also...#North London derby on Sunday is now a very important game.

 

spurs have had a mini crisis no question. actually being challenged in europe has exploded their team.

it seems their squad is not as deep as they thought.

 

If Tottenham beats Arsenal on Sunday...they are going to say CRISIS, WHAT CRISIS?..

 

considering the head to head over last 5 years is 3 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses, including 2 cup tie losses... and then add in the fact arsenal have not lost aht home to spurs since 2010... and before that all the way back to 1993.

well..... lets just say if i were doing a betting slip i see odds of 13/5 on the draw here and thats where my money would go

 

North London derby is as fierce as Merseyside derby Everton vs Liverpool. The best Tottenham can hope for away to Arsenal is a draw.
And they are draw specialist would not be surprised.

 

Klopp shouldn't be either tbh.

 

Going well for Man U, 4mins in and already 1-0 down.

Clearly Jose's plan to get out of the EL as soon as possible

 

Goal was after 2 minutes, hell of an overhead kick from the edge of the box

 

dear oh dear... they'll probably **** that plan up too by drawing.

 

Fenebache's shirt is crap. Blue/yellow striped front and solid blue on the back, if half their team are facing one way and the other half the opposite way it looks a if their are 3 teams on the pitch

 

2-0

 

Utd have been poor up front and crap at the back, the midfield has been useless and the keeper failed the two times he had anything to do, other than that they are a team full of world class players.

just catching up

This is almost full strength Man Utd, they played Rooney but dropped Pogba after half an hour to that evens out

 

Great goal by Rooney, probably too little too late though.
