Apparently their owner really wants Poch as his next man. Although I can see Jose going there if they ask him. I think utd would be secretly relieved to see the back of him.

Yeah I've heard similar. If Real come in for him, he's gone, there's no way he'd say no to Real if they made a formal approach in my opinion, he committed to us in the summer and supposedly said he weren't interested but it's a lot different when the offer's there.

Although like you, I reckon they'll get Jose, even if it's short term til the end of the season, both Utd and Real would be happy. Lopetegui's been a disaster while you get the idea Utd would encourage an approach for Jose.

What a ****er Pogba is.

Real looking a different side this second half. Pulled one back and Modric just hit the post. Good game now.

everton look totally out of ideas. Walcotts a little greedy fecker and richarlison has no idea how to play centre forward.

Silva needs to earn his corn cause everton look clueless going forward (admittedly they are unlucky not to be drawing)

Richarlison looked really good early in the season too, but he seems to have lost his edge. Walcott has always been a player who needs 10 clear cut chances to score 1

See ya layer, Lopetegui. Suarez has bagged his hat trick, 4-1 Barca.

he needs to spin in behind or dribble at a defender. He gets outmuscled by the CBs and has no idea how to play one touch football and what runs to make at the CF position. Worse than morata up there. His movement is terrible

This is why he's a winger

Cue post from @Matth_2014 about how personally he doesn’t rate him he thinks he’s overrated personally.

That's a humiliation for Real. They'll probs give Lopetegui the chop before the evening is out.

Cheeky €18m payoff apparently.

If it weren't already a humiliation, it is now. Vidal makes it five, header from Dembele's cross.

He'll probably be sacked before he can give his end of match team talk the way this has gone.

 

[Dier Hard]

Game over, Real had about a 15 minute spell in the second half where they came alive but overally it was just a complete demolition job by Barca. They've shown they can play without Messi, Real on the other hand are probably hoping they can give Juve that £100m back for Ronaldo.

That’s a beaut from Martial...

Ouch !

Do you think they'll come after Poch if they get rid ?

Genuine question

definitely...but after watching how they got him from the Spainish job only to turn on him inside 3 months he would be mad to go there imo but who knows?

Yeah it's nuts eh ? Every sensible part of me says Poch should stay put and tell them to wait a couple of years. But I think he'll find it really tough to turn down if they actually make him and Spurs an offer.

The bright lights of Real are too hard to turn down, unfortunately. Lopetegui has hardly helped himself though, even today he made questionable decisions. Started Nacho, a CB, at RB and then had to take Varane off so moved Nacho to CB and then put Vasquez, a RW, at RB, all the while he had the £30m Odriozola, a natural RB, on the bench.

 

[remembercolinlee]

can't disagree tbh...South American tend to want the Real Madrid or Barcelona jobs.

 

[Star of David Bardsley]

RIP Pogba. Does he have to be such a tart?

 

[Spurlock]

Game on...squeeky bum time for United

1-2
