Chicog Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Pochettino but he'd wipe out United's transfer budget buying all his current best players. Surely destined for the Argie national team if he can show he's not just a one-season wonder. Put your money on Simeone rather than Pochettino Chicog. He's much better known in Argentina than Pochettino, and name recognition goes a long way there in the decision making progress. Plus Simeone has coached some high profile clubs in Argentina whereas Pochettino has never coached in Argentina at all. And, in addition, Simeone has a roughneck reputation, wears all black duds and looks like a pimp. He's made for the Argentina NT. The fact that Argentina has a well respected "normal" coach in Alejandro Sabella at present is an aberration. Wouldn't disagree with that, but he's put together a great team on a relative shoestring and they'll surely be keeping an eye on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P45Mustang Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 It will be fascinating to see what United do. Wouldn't be surprised if they went for a 'proven' manager but not from the top drawer, instead of an 'up and coming' star. Route 1 looks like a recipe for relative mediocrity to me. Question 1 at the interview for me would be : if we gave you £Xmil who would you buy, and why? Give Moyes £Xmil and see what happens? Or give a manager of the stature of Guardiola an offer he couldn't refuse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rixalex Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 (edited) Congrats to Liverpool on their win. Not much more to be said that hasn't already been said about our performance. Absolutely dire. Of course the manager takes his fair share of the blame, but it's not only him, it's the players also, who just look like they are on another planet. Felaini should have played his last game for us by rights. Prior to the game he was asked about the importance of the game and with this really stupid smirk on his face, he said this was a game we had to win. It clearly didn't come from his heart, the way he said it, and borne out by the way he played. Absolute crap. Sad to say though that neither our performance or the result came as any great surprise to me. What did was the lacklustre performance that Liverpool put in. I've been blown away by the way they have played at times this season, but that first half I thought they were very average. Hardly noticed Suarez was on the pitch. Then they got two penalties in fairly quick succession before and after the break, then we were down to ten men, and then, and only then, did they start playing well, in my opinion. The penalties were nailed on so no complaints there, but they were pretty daft penalties to give away and were it not for those daft mistakes, I'm not sure Liverpool would have got anything from open play. They really weren't creating that much and what they were, Sturridge was doing a good job of fluffing. All the talk after the game about Liverpool being in title contention now, but there was nothing much in that game that makes me think they'll get close to City this year. No doubt I'll now be told that Liverpool were deliberately playing in first gear and could have and would have stepped it up a gear if needed. OK... sure.

But with Liverpool to play City and Chelsea in April, both at Anfield, it's still a long way to go for all of the top 4. No chickens being counted anywhere I wouldn't have thought. Apart from the headless one who is highly unlikely to make top 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rixalex Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 I would be surprised if Pellegrini was encouraged by the way in which Liverpool beat United 3 nil at Old Trafford. More like the opposite I would have thought. I think Pelligrini would have thought that the game spoke much more about the current state of Man United than it did about the current state of Liverpool. As others have said, that was at best a Championship performance from us. I do appreciate that for Liverpool supporters, as is the case for us, it's not really that important how one wins the game, just important that one does. So i get their jubilation. What i don't get is the suggestion that the game was Liverpool laying down a marker with regards their title ambitions, when they weren't tested in any shape or form by us, and when they only really started playing after having been handed two goals on a plate and an extra man advantage. Having had a two week rest, and knowing how fragile United's confidence was, i really expected Liverpool's front line to come flying at us from the offset and to see Suarez running rings around our defense. I think a lot of people did. It didn't happen. Luckily for them, it didn't need to. Either Liverpool knew all along that we would make some stupid mistakes and were deliberately not playing that well, or Liverpool weren't playing that well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt any United fans thought that their team would regress to such a dire level. Style of play dreadful, tactics non existent, morale seemingly as low as it could possibly get and cleat manager has lost the dressing room. If you think the owners and Wayne Rooney are going to stick with Moyes you are having a laugh. It was fergusons dreadful decision to appointment him so is it conceivable he might caretake for next season to steady the ship then Wayne can appoint the next manager?

mjj Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Rix, I'd agree with that. Liverpool were opening you up with ease, but they were hardly clinical or ruthless. Could they have gone up a gear? Maybe, but if they play like that against a team wanting to win a different result could be on the cards. Other pointers in the game. Flanagan could have easily walked and should Utd have been given a penalty for Johnson's handball, again a different result may have happened. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
