@UTDlegendary after our starting 11 becomes good enough to do that we dont have that luxury now + hes 1 year younger than yildiz and nowhere near that level

@deathmrk29 So we can’t sign good young players?

Getting RKO'd by a monkey is a wild story to tell the grandkids

I knew there was a reason why I liked the undertaker

IRAOLA NATIONNNNNNN ITS HAPPENING

This is how you introduce yourself back to the Champions League

Growing tension inside RM. Incident between Mbappe and an Arbeloa staff member; internal criticism of his attitude, though Mbappe's camp say it's an "overinterpretation". Separate confrontation involving Rudiger and a first-team player. @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/artic…

Some observations about Manchester United's underlying data this season under Ruben Amorim and under Michael Carrick: - Amorim's United were better by almost every measure except results - its known Amorim had a better xG differential, but there's a response I'm seeing that his xG is inflated by trailing game states, which is incorrect; in neutral scorelines (the match is tied), Amorim and Carrick have nearly the same xG differential per match... Carrick's Utd are producing more xG, while Amorim's were conceding less - even non-xG or xT events like high turnovers forced/conceded and deep entries forced/conceded all favor Amorim's Utd If through the traditional data analysis lens Amorim's Utd looks better, the question flow becomes: Do I care about the underlying data? - If no, thanks for reading this far, my account and this post probably aren't for you, feel free to quote this calling me a nerd or leave a reply like "I ain't reading all that"... it helps with the algorithm :) Are there other data angles where Carrick's United does look better than Amorim's, and if so, are they also reasons why other successful teams are successful? - Still here? Awesome. If there are alternative angles I'm not considering, I'd love to think through them. That said, if they need to be scalable to other situations, otherwise it doesn't really matter if they're driving United's current results, because like the goals to xG differential, its not sustainable. Are there non-data reasons for the results disparity? - Absolutely, and it would be stupid to not consider these. Carrick clearly has a management style that better suits the club and the squad mentality, among other things. The confidence of the players/general vibe of the club could very well be the difference between the quality of result. I don't believe this to be true, but I would not rule it out, or at least it being one of several contributing factors. But if you believe this to be the case, you need to then think through: Will the good vibes last forever? - Eventually something has to give - either the underlying data catches up to the on-pitch results, or the on-pitch results drop to meet the data. Feel free to think through which is more likely, and how that will impact the vibes. Perhaps this is as simple as Amorim was the manager United needed to right the ship, and now Carrick is the manager United needs to maximize results. There are arguments for and against United sacking Amorim, as well as making Carrick's appointment permanent - I'm not here to persuade you one way or the other, what you choose to do with the facts I've presented and the other facts you've digested + your relationship with your emotions is your business. Thanks for reading!

Systems that thrive on getting the ball up the pitch with minimal touches is so so nice to watch

chelsea should look at this

If De Zerbi keeps this team up give him EVERYTHING… the fact within 4 games he’s got players who were mentally down and out all of a sudden fighting for the badge and playing decent football not using no injuries as an excuse just REAL COACHING. Fuck Thomas Frank FOREVER.

De Zerbi might be the one. If Tottenham was my team I‘d want the club to get rid of like half of the squad in the summer. There‘s no excuse to battle relegation with a top 8 squad on paper in the first place, that‘s a mentality issue. Protect De Zerbi by removing the lazy players
