That’s a shame but probably a smart call by Alonso. I’m not sold on De Zerbi and don’t know much about Amorim. Not a great deal on the market.

Would probably rather see us go for someone like Naglesmann.

About to extend his contract with Germany.

Not too fussed… not sure on any of the managers being linked. Amorim sounds promising but EPL is a different beast to Portugal
Definitely not a lot of world class options out there available at the moment. Another argument for United to keep ETH.

I don’t think ETH is the guy for Utd but if you are going to replace him it needs to be worth it. You’re better off waiting until someone like an Ancelotti becomes available

I want to see how he goes with a proper football structure above him, which he SHOULD have next season.

Fair enough, my issue with ETH is that watching Utd I still have no idea what their identity is. There doesn’t seem to be an actual style of play and in so many of the games, you seem to get dominated.

That’s down to poor coaching more than anything else. With that said, the results under ETH aren’t as bad as the media make out. This season has not been good for Utd however the likes of Newcastle and Chelsea have had worse seasons with far less scrutiny.

I guess when you are Utd or Liverpool (undoubtedly the biggest English clubs), the scrutiny and expectations are always a lot higher

If you’re after a good app, FotMob is best I’ve used in a long time

Leeds vs Middlesbrough off the charts game this morning. Leeds do it the hard way as per usual.

Socceroo Sam Silvera started on the wing for Boro. Played 86 mins. Still very young and being trusted with these big games. Future is definitely bright for him.

Feynoord Head Coach Arnie Slot is now the favourite for the Liverpool job apparently.
Alonso was linked, I was genuinely excited
Amorim was linked, I convinced myself to be excited
Slot is linked, I’m again convincing myself to excited

I hope it doesn’t keep going further down the list to the point where I can’t even convince myself to be excited

There goes Liverpool’s season, very anti climatic ending.

I think I’ve had enough of Darwin by now

Klopp losing his last ever Meryside derby is great banter. 😂
Only 2 losses in 19 games to Everton and first at Goodison. Was a terrible time for it to happen.

Good luck to Arsenal now. They deserve it, **** City

Picking between Arsenal and City is still like picking between a turd sandwich and a giant douche, but for me, cheating takes precedence. It’d be harder to stomach City cheating their way to another title over wanker club like Arsenal winning it.
