Quote from: Armagh18 on November 10, 2026, 05:36:02 PMHe'd be a no brainer for me. Even if he didn't play much he'd be a super leader in that dressing room which is sorely lacking them. Times are bad when the leaders of the team are the petulant child Bruno, Dalot the dipstick and Harry Maguire the specialist in failure (harsh on Harry as I do like him and he's one of the few that can't be questioned for effort and commitment)

Agree, absolutely wild that he should have been the first signing of the post Fergie era and 13 years later would still start for Utd

In terms of building a culture he should have been signed, but Wilcox and Berrada are 100% clueless, to the point i genuinely think they might be undercover agents on behalf of City-corp
Would agree with that he would have been a brilliant signing post Fergie but way past his best at this stage.
 
He had mentioned that he would play down as far as Championship and still hasn't got a club so probably not where United need to be going at this stage.

The money they'll have to shell out for a guy they actively didn't/don't want who they could have had for nothing four months ago.

Quote from: tiempo on November 10, 2026, 05:15:06 PMWouldn't be in a hurry to sack a manager who has the team scoring goals

Why not be The Entertainers for a few years

Fergie was knocking 1.85 goals a game, OGS 1.83, Carrick next best at 1.78 and working with a busted flush

The man is fundamentally overperforming and being crucified for it


Surely the commercial team can sort a stadium naming deal to back this man, Rentokil Old Trafford? Get rid of the local infestation and let Wilcox loose with the cheque book, 2 birds 1 stone

If thats the case, I wouldn't like to see what position they'd be in if they were underperforming!

If they go with Poch, I think they need to back him like Arsenal did with Arteta. If he says the like of Bruno, Rashford and whoever else has to go they have to go. I think he'll do a good job.

Not convinced at all by Poch, he did make Spurs look a decent side which is some achievement to be fair, but had some top players at the time.

Would much prefer a Conte who will fight with the board and the players if they aren't pulling their weight. As much as I like Carrick he definitely isn't that man.

Poch strikes me as a yes man, didn't he let Levy away with not buying anyone for a couple of years at Spurs? Hopeful but not confident.  Horribly disrespectful to Carrick that this has leaked before he's even been sacked as well. He'll always be a club legend in the eyes of the fans no matter how this fares out.

Quote from: AustinPowers on November 10, 2026, 04:45:37 PMNever mind Dalot. That Yoro tube isn't much better. Two  brutal mistakes for two of Villa's goals.

Why did he play for France in the last international break? France are hardly short of options or maybe their manager is clueless too???

Not everyone who makes a mistake has to be written off for all time. He's 20 and was playing centre back with another 20 year old beside him (second half).

It wasn't just the Villa match. I've seen nothing from Yoro  in  over 2 years to suggest he is in any way  a decent defender.

Yeah, tried to give him the benefit of the youth and whatever, but he'd probably make a better defender at another club where the scrutiny of every mistake wouldn't be so highlighted
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Same with Pogba. World class for France

He has been underwhelming to say the least since he joined for the price tag.   He has had seasoned internationals beside him most of his time at Old Trafford.   

Jacquet is only slightly older than him and has taken to the league like a duck to water.

World class when he could be arsed.

Theres definitely a player in Yoro, still a cub for a centre back and being surrounded by a clown show isn't helping him.
