"After breaking the transfer record twice in one summer, and spending as much as they did, Liverpool are shite Liverpool 0-0 Leeds Boos ring out at Anfield as the whistle goes. Liverpool look dejected as Leeds celebrate a point at the defending champions" Quite predictable, Arne Slot isn’t a great manager tactically and won the league last year because City weren’t great. Also, last season Mo Salah contributed to 70%+ goal involvements, amazing season but not sustainable Don’t think they needed Ekiteke and Isak, very similar profiles and should’ve used the Isak money getting a better left winger Wirtz hasn’t been great either | |||

"Arne Slot isn't a great manager but has won the Premier League title..ha ha ha " Winning a league title doesn’t automatically make you a great manager, would you say Ranieri is a great manager? He won the league with Leicester when the league was incredibly weak for the year, but he isn’t a great manager. | |||

"Football: 22 windbags chasing a 23rd 🤭" FFS, this is where you've been going wrong for all these years. You need players who run off the ball, who find space, and if defending to anticipate an attackers movement and block them off if you can. | |||

Gaining only 2 points in 2 games when your main rivals manage 6 matters, and I'd rather be 6 points in the lead then 6 points behind. | |||

"Ratcliff also needs to leave; he is another businessman who lacks knowledge about football yet has inserted himself into the affairs of Manchester United, making decisions regarding managers and players. He reduces expenses by cutting out staff meals but then spends money on a group of ineffective players instead of retaining Rashford, their top scorer since Ferguson's departure." First time we agree on anything, Ratcliffe is terrible, the board is terrible, Amorim made us finish 15th last season and they still continued with him until today morning. Should have sacked him after the Europa league final. | |||

"I'm wondering if Eddie Howe is planning on taking a bigger job at any stage, or is he content treading water at Newcastle until the England job becomes available again?" Wouldn’t mind Howe taking the job, seems like United need an experienced manager to just steady the ship for now. I don’t think Howe is good enough tactically to win a league, but United are a long way away from competing anyway, so would be decent. If we could steal Unai from Villa I wouldn’t mind that, or if the board are looking for another young manager then Iraola looks decent even though his recent results haven’t been that great, his style of play is good and suits United. Reports are suggesting Xavi may be in for the job, and considering the manager market isn’t too great at the moment I wouldn’t mind, can’t get worse than Amorim (famous last words) | |||

"Chubbsy is right to question whether or not Arsenal have the mentality to prevail. A long way to go but the win over Bournemouth was the kind of result that wins you titles. I'm optimistic nonetheless. Been a long time coming. The supporters who have spent money and stayed loyal deserve success. North Bank Crew. Great days." He's certainly entitled to ask the question but as I said, I don't believe that history is so important. Arteta has finally got the players he wants, and you can see he has instilled a winning mentality. The likes of Rice, Gabriel and even Calafiori are leaders on the pitch. Nonetheless, and as always, we shall see. | |||

He seems better at instilling belief in a team of underdogs than managing primadonnas. Iraola I would say 'may be worth a punt', but so was Amorim. At least Iraola knows the English game but as always, the proof of the pudding is in the eating. | |||

"Primadonnas? Any individual players in mind from his previous teams managed? A bit of a convenience to suit the narrative to suggest all United players are such. "I'm suggesting they've had more than their fair share of them over recent years. Pogba, Antony, Sancho, maybe even Rashford to some extent. Ask Roy Keane. | |||

"Seems like ole might be given another shot as the caretaker manager, not really sure how to feel about it His first stint as interim he did really good, 14 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses but he should definitely not be seen as the long term manager" They're in 6th place, only 3 behind Liverpool in 4th so still in with a shout of Champions League football next season. If Ole, Carrick or even Fletcher can manage to pull that off they could be there a little longer. | |||

"Liverpool demonstrated how to deflate Arsenal's confidence. Martinelli deserved a straight red card at the conclusion of the match. He must be feeling quite proud of himself, the jerk." Yet despite finding himself almost mortally wounded, Bradley managed to heroically roll back onto the pitch in a valiant attempt to delay play. Were you proud of that? | |||

Liverpool could allow Martinelli an additional 60 minutes, yet he would still struggle to locate the goal... Clearly, he was sobbing like a fool, crafting a pathetic narrative for himself in this match. | |||

"Xabi Alonso has left his position as Real Madrid manager after just eight months in charge, with his former Liverpool teammate Alvaro Arbeloa taking over. I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up in the Premier League at some stage in his career, but where? Man Utd, Liverpool, Man City at the end of the season if Pep decides to call it a day?" Think he’ll end up at Liverpool if they decide to part ways with Arne. Ex player and they’ve got his two ex players, Wirtz and Frimpong, who played amazingly under him. Madrid have too many egos and the players have always ran the club, it was never going to work there, but tactically he’s an amazing coach and I’m hoping he doesn’t go to Liverpool | |||
