Perhaps our squad was being underrated by Liverpool fans just because Ole hit a bit of form against absolute #nomarks. How many still dumping our GK, midfield, and Mané for Utd players?
I still agree with what I said. We have a better first XI, but United have better depth in squad. They have a lot of talented players in their squad. Our squad is currently very shallow. Allison, VVD, TAA, Robinson, the front 3... Any of those players injured and it's a crisis. Imagine if multiple of them injured at once. Our top two position is in large part luck that we haven't had many serious injuries to key positions this year. It isn't repeatable next year without more luck. Man for man our first XI is better... Our depth is shallow compared to the rest of top 6... Except for midfield, which we're always getting more players for. Their current predicament is more down to Jose's mismanagement, it's not so much lack of talented players. OGS may not have made many steps up the ladder, but he has kept pace better with the top teams than Jose did, the honeymoon is over but he's not as bad. The gap between City and Utd isn't growing as fast as it was before. I'd be surprised if Utd don't finish top 3 next season.
Not as bad? He's just got humiliated by Everton and #bbcsalford have an articles dedicated to Solskjaer being on the worst run they've ever had in the PL https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48004604 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/48007859
Yeah? And we lost 5-0 to City and 4-1 to Spurs last year... Didn't stop us rebounding this year! (Or indeed last year) United obviously aren't a threat to us this season they're too far behind. They're a threat to us next season IF they improve first XI and IF we don't improve depth. I'm not worried what United do this season. Except for their game against City, they're irrelevant to us at the moment.
I'm.sure we can all agree. a big fat duck egg on the utd trophy list for 2018/19 following a..... well big fat duck egg in 2017/18.... thats very sweet indeed.
We lost to City with 10 men. That City side got 100 points. Man Utd had 11 men against an Everton side that can finish 7th at best. We improved by buying Alisson and Van Dijk, two of the best players in the world. We're comparing our squad to Man Utd's right now, not if maybe they buy a load of #worldclass players next season. Who do you think Ole can attract with his famous football philosophy? No one. The same mercenaries who have dug them into this hole in the first place.
Like Gomez and TAA were? Added downer that Matip and Lovren were out too. Plus we ****ed Clyne off because, frankly, we'd be better playing with just ten men
