Declan Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 "Kane is injured" - how can they tell? I won't be disappointed if Liverpool don't win the league, provided we win our last four games.

This. It's all about momentum. When it gets into your brain that you've failed in one endeavour, it starts to mess with your head that you will fail in the others too. Hopefully they will have the strength of character to overcome it and win the league anyway.
TheTeapot Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Sadly I can see them battering Spurs at the weekend, and looking at how awful Utd have been recently another big win there. Really I'm just delighted at how good Liverpool have been this season, and if they don't win the league that's OK, City are really good too.

It does mean that Liverpool winning the title looks less likely though as City will destroy United if they play like that on Wednesday. Every cloud and all that...
TheTeapot Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 'Supporter' of team hopes his team lose to local rivals. Pathetic.
manxman1980 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 I hope we beat City. I am a realist though and don't think it is likely. United are carrying too many mediocre players and a bunch of others who are more interested in their next big move. Pogba should never have been signed. The first time he left he was sulking that the club did not rate him. Since he has been back it seems he believes to is too good for the club. Sanchez and Fred appear to have been signed just to keep them away from City. I actually think that the recent results might wake the board up and realise they need to listen to people who k ow football rather than chase players who increase the clubs social media profile.
TheTeapot Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Everyone seems to be focusing on the players not being good enough at Utd, but there has been very little criticism of the tactics. Recently Utd have been astonishingly passive, allowing other teams to have the ball and seemingly waiting for them to give them the ball and hoping to hit on the break. There is very little running, no pressing whatsoever, entirely reactive. This might have worked for Leicester a couple of years ago, or to a lesser extent Wolves this, but is not how Utd should be playing. They were rightfully demolished by Everton, and frankly should have been by both Watford and West Ham, games in which Utd lucked out with wins. The new manager bounce they got was very impressive, they actually looked pretty good for a few games but now they look unfit and disinterested. I'm not sure Ole is tactically good enough. I hope I'm wrong and they pull a performance out of their ass, but fully expect an absolute beating at the hands of City.
manxman1980 Posted April 22, 2019 Posted April 22, 2019 Nothing to do with the manager. The stats on running and closing down have been terrible for the last couple of seasons. Okay under Van Gaal the possession was better but the team was still underperforming. It was possession for the sake or possession. There was very little attacking possession. Under Mourinho possession was surrendered and counter attacking built around a good defence was the priority which is why you will see some horrendous possession stats. The players are now too complacent and need a rocket up their ass.

TheTeapot Posted April 24, 2019 Posted April 24, 2019 Well, after their efforts for the first 35 minutes Utd have fallen apart. Wankers.
