Quote from: snoopdog on Today at 07:40:35 AMSpurs had a great season and they're only 6 pts, 2 wins better than a bad United side. If United by some miracle  win the Cup, Ten Hag has had a better season than the Farewell Flopp. The main issue with that team is being constantly over run in the middle. 1 correct purchase could be worth an extra 10 points next season, but it's not too often utd get it right in the transfer market this last 10 years or so.
Would a cup win really be a better season over Liverpool?  Liverpool punched above their weight given the big overhaul in midfield and competed for the title for a prolonged period of time and qualified easily for Champions League.

United are more than likely going to finish on a negative goal difference over 38 games(embarassing given the money spent) and have shifted little or none of the deadwood that ETH inherited when he got the job. 
Don't go there statto, apparently he was only fishing  :D
Tomorrow is promised to no one.

Just the three ;) 

You's boys are touchy feckers all the same

I think Liverpool had a fantastic year and will miss big Klopp's drive

Utd can't keep 'clearing' out players every year and expect consistency

They are the media's plaything at the minute after having years of dominance they are languishing below levels they would have been at before, its as if they have forgotten Utd were relegated in the 70's, but of course football only started in the PL years 92 ;)

No quick fix, could be another 10 years at this rate, I'd be happy to have the roof fixed first 
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Ea

Doesn't help that many of clubs ex players are now pundits, so the focus always gets shifted back to them regardless of the storyline at the time.

There is a clear out required and a bit of reset with some control but again that isn't a one window kind of fix.

Another big issue has been injuries. Near 70  separate cases of injuries this season with 14th different centre-back combinations and no natural left back for the majority of the season.  If Ten Hag is kept on for another season the injury riddled season will be taken into account and it's known with a lot less injuries last season finished 3rd and won the league cup.

Also worth noting in Arteta's first three seasons with Arsenal they finished 8th,8th and 5th. Regardless of manager it should be a busy summer with ins and out and United do and some good young players to build a team around now and it will be interesting to see how many of the U18s make the step up in the years ahead after their treble haul of trophies won this season.
