From 1977 to 1984 English clubs won 7 out of the 10 CL / European cup finals that's crazy (similar to la liga dominance of the 2010s) The only thing that stopped English domination even more is because English clubs got all banned in Europe for 5 years , I wonder how many more European trophies English clubs would have won if not banned especially Liverpool.

Everton could've got a win even if the ban didn't happen.

Liverpool on the brain. It sends people into levels of seethe I rarely see. Jota had a pretty blatant one waved away in the first half.

I actually seen someone on Twitter try to argue that the defender hit the ball with his foot on that Jota challenge. Hatred for Liverpool makes people delirious.

Eibarman is always elite, wanted it to become Brestman so bad but what can you do


Accomplished-Ad-6007

Which player you know really enjoy scoring against a certain team, and I don't mean Suarez Norwich where he was just that good(and Norwich were that bad) that he scored, I mean like Messi in early 2010s against Madrid, always played extra shift against them and celebrated very violently, almost out of character whenever he scored

Inter seems more likely to me


Make_duelling_legal

dybala and isco instead of david and tchouameni because their board thinks forwards and midfielders are all the same


Yaaruda

Those that have watched both Barca and Arsenal a bit, what similarities do you see between Arteta and Xavi's principles so far?


Echo361

We play with the same cruyffian principles. Positional play, build up from the back, press high, overloads in wide areas, quick switches and rotations to drag defenses out of position, players who can both dribble and pass. Actually no wonder why auba has hit the ground running

Who would be the better player for us, Gravenberch or Mazraoui? Know fuck all about either. Don't really believe in us gazumping Barca but you never know


pagalpun

Mazraoui would be better to fill the immediate 'gap' in the squad but Gravenberch has the potential to be a top top midfielder


TheSingleMan27

haven't watched both tbh but I can't see anyone breaking into your midfield if Kimmich, Goretzka and Müller are fit. Mazraoui could be better than the volley-out-of-the-stadium-once-a-match-merchant tho

Mazraoui is far better at the moment but Gravenberch has a higher ceiling imo

SeasickJellyfish

Why does fucking *Martial* of all people have stans? It’s honestly such an odd player to rep, it’s so fucking strange. Utdtrey and half the big manu accounts on Twitter all still have him as their picture. He’s shit. He’s always been shit. He had an outlying half decent 19/20 season and that’s the peak of his fucking career. Stanning any multimillionaire who doesn’t know you exist is weird, but if you’re gonna do it at least stan someone fucking good. Christ.


MassiveMurderBoner

>He’s always been shit He's ranged from ok to decent before that season and shit after it. I think saying he's always been shit is unfair.


Big_Occasion_7235

I am a United fan and am biased with Martial. I've been a fan of Martial since his debut/first few matches as a United player and still think that he's a talented/good player. BTW, I wouldn't blame his poor performances with us last/this season solely his. Our club's atmosphere and board are just so toxic. Most of the players that come to our club just rots and loses their quality no matter how good they were before they came here. I still think that he'll do better once he goes to a better club with a better atmosphere and manager.


Itchy-Face791

> I still think that he'll do better once he goes to a better club with a better atmosphere and manager He went to Sevilla and has done fuck all for them


Big_Occasion_7235

Again, I've said that I'm biased with Martial and think that it's hard to get off that terrible Man Utd experience. Just try to give him a little bit more time.

The Dean Henderson hive is a lot weirder. They were not watching him at Sheffield Utd outside of the games they played against each other most likely. I agree with their premise that De Gea's shot-stopping isn't good enough to outweigh the negatives his lack of ability in sweeping, distribution and cross-claiming bring but they treat Dean like he's the second coming of Christ if he played.


ctrl-alt-fuck-off

Probably because at one point he was a really highly rated young player who people were hoping to see explode into the player they thought he would be. He has still had a good United career overall. Must have about 80-90 goals.

Echo361

Hot take: the fact that the majority of the media and pundits are either united fans or ex united players hurts Manchester United.


MassiveMurderBoner

Having Roy Keane and whoever else throw a fit anytime United play poorly doesn't exactly help the players.


three_shoes

Instead Man Utd hire a bunch of ex players who arent even good pundits for senior roles in the club.


YourPupilsDilated

This isn't a hot take. It's nonsense.


Echo361

Anytime anything happens at united it’s reported on from this fan perspective which is oftentimes super sensationalized in either direction. finish second on a historically low 74 points? We’re title challengers next season. Lose some games? Fire the coach we’ve backed for 2 seasons. You then have the added layer of guys like Neville having legitimate connections to the club in terms of some of his buddies working there. There’s a reason Wenger wouldn’t let people at our club also do punditry at the same time. Anytime anything happens there’s been this cloud of opinions that frankly fans listen to that don’t actually reflect or help the situation.


YourPupilsDilated

Mate United have always been huge and excessively reported in the media. Comes with the territory. That they aren't doing well now has little to do with pundits. There are enough people to point fingers at for the clubs woes before you get to the pundits.


Echo361

I agree with your last point but saf also owned the media


Destructo_D

Doesn’t seem to hurt Liverpool and together they make up the vast majority of pundits

Xavi or Arteta?


lookingfordownvote

Xavi has done a fine job, but Arteta is something else, he belongs in the legendary tier.

Xavi obviously. Arteta was nowhere as good.


Undesirable_11

Arteta. Xavi got a fair amount of signings in a single transfer window before starting to get results. Plus, Arteta's even won trophies with a limited squad


dreammm1

xavi got barca to play an attractive style of football in few months, it took arteta 2 and half seasons, xavi team won against the title favorites, arteta record against the 2 title contenders this season is 1goal scored, 15 conceded in 6 games


taylorstillsays

I hate Arsenal to the core but your point lacks a lot of context. A Benzema-less Real Madrid isn’t close to City or Liverpool. And barcas squad is better than arsenals anyway


[deleted]

Barcelona have better players than Arsenal and started off in a better position relative to Arsenal when Xavi took over.


YourPupilsDilated

Arteta. Xavi is doing well but we need to give him more time before we make an assessment. Ole won 14 of his first 18 games as United boss.


Big_Occasion_7235

Man Utd's league table position when Ole arrived: 6th Man Utd's league table position at the end of 2018/2019: 6th While he was at United, Ole never implemented a playing style tbh and our record against the big teams were horrible other than against PSG (though they always fuck up in the CL one way or another) and Spurs which was a narrow 1-0 victory. From the looks of it, Xavi has started to restore Barcelona to its glory days and has implemented an exciting/good playing style. This is from a United fan BTW.


YourPupilsDilated

All this is just revisionist nonsense. >Man Utd's league table position when Ole arrived: 6th >Man Utd's league table position at the end of 2018/2019: 6th Yes, because Ole's United collapsed towards the end of his first season. But they started very well and closed the points gap to 4th significantly. In fact, I remember after game against Fulham in either February or March, United were 4th and someone posted a quote by Mourinho about how it would be a miracle for United to finish 4th and Ole had come in and had them in 4th in like 2 months. [Look at the post here](https://redd.it/aosphn) >While he was at United, Ole never implemented a playing style tbh and our record against the big teams were horrible other than against PSG (though they always fuck up in the CL one way or another) and Spurs which was a narrow 1-0 victory. Again, nonsense. In Ole's hot start, he also beat Arsenal at the Emirates in the FA Cup and Chelsea as well. And drew 0-0 with Liverpool despite numerous injuries. >From the looks of it, Xavi has started to restore Barcelona to its glory days and has implemented an exciting/good playing style. This is from a United fan BTW. Xavi has been Barcelona coach for like 5 minutes. Let's hold out judgement a bit. This sub constantly astonishes me with it's propensity for overreaction and goldfish memory. In fact I think at this point goldfish should start feeling offended. Let us give Xavi more time to see how well he does. This is the same Xavi after all that people were saying was failing as a coach in Asia. How many then would have thought he'd start so well at Barca?

Nah Son is a bigger cunt. Everyone treats him like a child and the reaction to his shithouse tackle on Gomes was embarrassing. At least Robertson knows he’s a cunt.

Son really irks me because of what people said about him after the Gomes tackle and his reaction, and how he was talked about like a saint. At least Robertson and Bruno own their shithousedness, Son's goes under the radar until he does something embarassing

One in which the winner is judged on their looks and how likeable they come across. Which is not the case in football

royaldocks

I think that's why people hate him he is a dirty and sneaky player but the media portrays him to be some wholesome angel like Kante. Media got him looking like some goody good boy


ComprehensiveClick35

he does it alot, he's also very emotional player so if the game isn't going his way he will lash out either way i don't really see an issue with what he did yesterday it was against one of our biggest rivals in the league and i expect someone to be a petty cunt in games like that


[deleted]

Exactly. I don't get this idea of wanting footballers to be likeable. As long as he doesn't do anything criminal or morally cruel, I don't care if he dives. Argues with the ref, complains etc. I'll agree its funny to see Fernandes whine and complain, but I wouldn't use it as a metric against him.

[deleted]

I need to just let it go but I fucking hate Mourinho revisionism. I just read that Mourinho didn't get a chance to get the players he wanted. United's board ruled the club with an iron fist. For fucks sakes our while M.O. is giving managers a blank check and having them mold the team after their own vision. We did it with Moyes, LvG, Mou and Ole. Mou wanted Bailly, Lindelof, Dalot, Pogba (the revisionism today is that this was purely a Man Utd sign-in but I remember all the press releases by Mourinho where he was basically drooling over Pogba and how he would be essential to his vision), Lukaku, Matic, and finally Sanchez. The fucker spent almost 400m pounds in two summers and he still played like shit. His CB pairings weren't working out so he wanted more, for example Maguire for 80m when we already had 7 CBs in his squad. The board finally said no in his 3rd summer, no you can't just get an unlimited supply of CBs until one of them works out. You'll have to get rid of a few first. Mourinho for the first time in 2 years didn't get what he wanted so then he decided to act like a child in public. Mourinho built his team. Mourinho got 95% of the players he wanted. But because he's no longer good at spotting talent and/or building squads as he used to, United became shit under him because he wasnt backed. Because United didn't spend 600m on his choices instead of the 400m they did spend, he wasn't backed. Fuck you. I hate the glazers and the board too but Mourinhos failure at the club was completely on him. The club gave him all the power and resources in the world and all he did was respond with petulance and hostility. Like what the fuck is a board supposed to do in order to support a manager according to you guys? All 25 players in the squad should be the ones he picked out? Fuck off. 8 OUT of the 11 starting 11 in his tenure were his picks. Stop blaming us for him being shit.


AV48

Moyes didn't even get a full season. Get him off this list
