IceCreamMan Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 This isn't a top 4 squad imho: https://www.skysports.com/manchester-united-squad Even less so the Leicester side of 2015/6. yes, just me stirring.
Gen Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) This isn't a top 4 squad imho: https://www.skysports.com/manchester-united-squadAny squad can be good or bad. Real Madrid are loaded with stars..they were absolutely shocking last season and were shocking in their CL game last week. The way United are playing they will be lucky to get top 10 let alone top 4.

Gen Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) As for my Juve..I think the team are adapting to Sarri well..it takes time as I expected it would and any sane person would. Ramsey continues to impress, De Ligt is swimming and seems to do particularly well when Buffon is in goal..such a shame he couldn't be learning with Chiellini next to him in game at at training..but he is improving with every game. Rabiot will need time..he didn't play a lot last season so will take a little longer for him Cuadrado and Matuidi are just those players that when called upon fill any roll they need to.. which is always good to have.. Pjanic is just fantastic.. Dybala link up with Ramsey and Ronaldo sublime. I see improvements with every game. Sarri still wants the pace higher and quicker movement off the ball from the first whistle... but some lovely football is being played.[emoji173] I have no idea who will start tonight.. Sarri rotates a quite a lot. Alex Sandro is back after traveling to Brazil for his father's funeral... not sure if he will be in the right state of mind and how the traveling effected him.. but if he is good to go then I assume Ihe will start.

IceCreamMan Posted October 1, 2019 Author Posted October 1, 2019 Is Sarri better at Juve than he was at Chelsea? IF so, why?
Gen Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Is Sarri better at Juve than he was at Chelsea? IF so, why?Time will tell. I think he has players with better technical qualities and a deeper squad at Juve and that is very important for his style of play but it is far too early to come to any conclusions... Him and the squad need time a few months isn't time a season isn't time..1 season can give an idea of where it is going but we'll see after season 2.. that's how I feel about it in any case. One thing that needs work is the defense of set pieces..Allegri - man marking and Sarri-Zonal .. that has been a bit of a problem.. but we have gone a few games without conceding set pieces now[emoji6] A very challenging week lies ahead CL tonight and Inter (at the San Siro) the weekend..and Conte has completely transformed Inter.

Gen Posted October 1, 2019 Posted October 1, 2019 (edited) Strange game.. first half a little meh..second half all players stepped up, controlled the game and got that nice quick passing going Higuain - greatDe Ligt- greatCuadrado- great Did not expect Berhardeschi to start..glad he had some game time and a goal. (Perhaps his start was with half an eye on the weekend game?) All in all a comfortable 3-0 win. Ramsey and Dybala came on late both offer so much....and so much pretty football comes off their boots. Just so nice seeing us keep on going and playing attacking football, while keeping it tight at the back. Edited October 1, 2019 by Gen
Gen Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Spurs fans ... sorry. That's about all that there is to say, when Bayern are as clinical like the bit I saw of the game..you have got to be on your game. Andrew Steer and RoddieJ 2
IceCreamMan Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 I did not watch the game but looking at the score. Hells teeth. RoddieJ 1
Andrew Steer Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 I did not watch the game but looking at the score. Hells teeth.Very glad I am a bit under the weather... so luckily was tucked up in bed and missed the game. But yeah, problems we be having... something not lekker at all in the camp 7 goals from 10 shots on target is something else in terms of being clinical too. Going to be a rough week behind the scenes Gen and IceCreamMan 2
IceCreamMan Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 a number of papers here have the sports headline of Seven and hell. Can only assume its a reference to the levels of purgatory. Another one is Power Serge.

Andrew Steer Posted October 2, 2019 Posted October 2, 2019 Maybe there is truth in those made up Vertonghen rumours [emoji6]Hahaha... one does wonder. But then you look at pics from training and they're right next to each other most of the time laughing and playing, so probably just the usual rumor mill Gen 1

IceCreamMan Posted October 2, 2019 Author Posted October 2, 2019 Any truth to reports that Poch kept them in the locker room till 1am this morningApparently the players stayed by themselves on their own accord. Gen 1
