@FrankEra_ Why did you remove Ederson is coming?

I want this club to win the league. Give us more.

@ZaidBalll Dw, we gonna get Mateus fernandes, it’s all gonna be fine

It should have been you. It should have.

@dharnishiqbal What is your opinion about Ederson to United, and do you think he have the ability to dictate games, and have pausa?

It’s so funny to hear Arsenal fans criticise Bruno’s set piece assists. Like, remind me again, what method have Arsenal relied on to win them the title?

@nonewthing Do know you don’t like United but do you think Ederson is a good fit for United and I wanna know if you think Ederson have ability to dictate tempo, with pausa

If Arsenal start a dynasty, they will eclipse Manchester United in England.

@EBL2017 What’s your opinion on Ederson to United, do you think he is the man for United, do he have the ability to dictate games with the likes of pausa etc…

🚨 Manchester City 26/27 Pep Guardiola has left Enzo Maresca with a phenomenal base to improve on. However, Maresca does have a lot of work to do to complete the squad with Bernardo and Stones leaving. I'm unsure if Maresca will persist with Donnarumma. With the Premier League being increasingly man-to-man, it arguably reduces the need for an elite short distributor whilst increasing the need for an accurate and powerful long distributor, but I don't think Donnarumma is either of these things. Bernardo took a lot of the pressure off of him in the build-up by dropping onto the first line and receiving, too. Trafford, however, profiles as a better modern day goalkeeper. He has similar traditional goalkeeping qualities to Donarumma whilst being a much more competent technician. Maresca would use him to lure pressure on before City bounce out to the spare man but he can also kick long and accurately to 1v1's high. Trafford may lack experience, and he did struggle in his early days at City which prompted Guardiola to sign Donnarumma, but he has another year of experience under his belt now whilst profiling like a special goalkeeper. If there was a more experienced elite goalkeeper on the market the City could opt for that route, but that doesn't seem to be the case. It will be a big pre-season for Trafford. Defensively, City need reinforcements at centre half with Stones leaving and Ake likely to leave. As good as Guehi and Khusanov have been together, they lack aerial dominance. Dias is the one who provides that in City's defence but he never seems to start more than 30 PL games, so an aerially dominant centre half is a must. Right back is another area of concern. Will Maresca persist with Nunes? Maybe, but Rico Lewis is the one that I am looking at with caution. As talented as he is, he profiles like Zinchenko. Several years ago, Zinchenko was a key figure in City's countless trophy wins and in propelling Arsenal to the next level. Now? The game has evolved. Fullbacks possess Zinchenko's level of technical quality whilst being physical monsters (Calafiori, Timber, Hato, O'Reilly, etc). With all of City's left back profiles being able to play high (O'Reilly, Ait-Nouri, and Gvardiol), Maresca would be smart to target a centre back-type profile at right back to replace Lewis. City also have some clear issues in midfield now that Bernardo is gone. Not only did Bernardo provide unbelievable control with the ball, but he also led City's press structurally whilst being as intense and as mobile as they come in second ball or open space situations. Maresca's defensive philosophy differs to Guardiola in the sense that he defends man-to-man across the thirds with wingers often being the one's to invert into central areas which leaves the midfield matching up elsewhere with less running to do. However, the Premier League is the most physical league in the world. Cherki and Foden as #10's with Reijnders and Kovacic as #8's is simply not physical enough. Kovacic has been excellent to end the season since recovering from injury, and he is a good squad player because he can play in the #6 or the #8, but City need a more physical box-to-box midfielder. Reports have linked City with Enzo Fernández and although he is a complete midfielder who would be an exceptional Bernardo Silva replacement, I would still worry about City from a physical perspective in midfield with that signing because he is not as attentive to the defensive moment as Bernardo is. Outside of that, City could do with another winger profile, even if the priority lies in improving other areas first. The demands on modern football is to have two top players in each position otherwise you will fall short due to unavailability. That's the reality. As a coach, Maresca is elite when his teams have the ball. Build-up details, positional play, balance, etc, etc. All top, even if it is a little more rigid than Guardiola's idea. Defensively, though, he never made Chelsea elite. Like we said, his philosophy is to defend man-to-man across the thirds. No team in Premier League history has even won the league playing like that. The style has holes in it as it is reactive to the opponent, it doesn't inherently protect key spaces, if you lose one duel huge spaces open up, and sometimes the opposition do good things so you must accept defending low which the style neglects. Kompany's Bayern and Enrique's PSG have shown that it can work at the elite level, though. But they have clear differences that make a huge difference – less games, less intense games, more opportunities to rotate, and they can turn on and off their intensity for the big games. You don't get that luxury in the Premier League. However, the biggest difference between those teams and Maresca's Chelsea was the cultural difference the coaches instilled. Maresca's Chelsea didn't work as hard or respect the game the way Enrique's PSG or Kompany's Bayern do. That combined with his defensive approach has always been my biggest criticism of him as a coach. Sure, the man-to-man style may work IF the culture is right, but that wasn't the case at Chelsea. The players were lax. And that is not something we can attribute to any Guardiola team ever. Interestingly, when Arne Slot came to Liverpool the collective maintained the culture that Klopp instilled at the club in his decade in charge. That positive 'hangover' effect saw the club maintain their intensity and collective attitude. Maresca may benefit from the atmosphere that Pep has created in a winning dressing room at City (even if Bernardo leaving is a monumental blow), but the real test for him is in the long-run. As a pure tactician, he is special, but football is more than just tactics. People let Maresca off the hook too easy for his time at Chelsea because he fell out with the directors and the ownership. Sure, that is true, and he couldn't have done any better in his first season, but Chelsea should have been in and around the top of the league in 25/26. When he left, they were not. And that was not down to a shortage of quality (despite an injury to Colwill which handicapped their season). It was down to the culture at the club being good enough, and that stems from the coach. Overall, it's the first time Manchester City have had uncertainty since Pep arrived. It'll be interesting to see if they get their priorities right in the transfer market and if Maresca has evolved as a coach during his time off… 🛑

@TheDevilsDNA @justheretose @TheDevilsDNA do you think Ederson have the pausa, which allow him to dictate the game?

@justheretose @minefire005 I didn't say we didn't need attackers.

I always find it odd when fans say “Attackers aren’t finishing” or “GK isn’t saving” as the sole reasons for a team underperforming. To see a top club strategise & spend €250m on that very limited logic is disappointing & concerning tbh. This was not a good Man Utd window IMO.

@justheretose @UTDPr3Xxxi That’s was like a decade ago, I think football have evolve from counter attacking, to more transitional, possession based. No team beside Real Madrid in the last decade have won the league with counter attacking football

@minefire005 @UTDPr3Xxxi Yeah, that was the style of play that won us 13 modern premier leagues and that’s the style of play that just made us beat all top 6 teams, no draws, plus Aston Villa all within 16 games. Every team have their own style. That is the united way.

Take a look at the United players off the ball 4-4-2 defense 👌

@TheDevilsDNA @justheretose Do you think United could do well with Carrick tactics @TheDevilsDNA? Like in poss. De zero esque, attract and find space behind, and the diamond shape OPP?

@TheDevilsDNA @justheretose Furthermore I hope Carrick evolves his style of play to more team play than individual brilliance. I like United way in poss. But I think United could be more patient on the ball plus, I think United need fix their OPP, with a bit more aggressive press

@justheretose @UTDPr3Xxxi Geez what a stupid way to play

@UTDPr3Xxxi Hopefully we no longer get deceived into trying tiki taka rubbish. At united, we defend midblock like our lives depend on it, and when we attack we run at our opponents like we wanna take their souls.

@ZaidBalll @ManUtd @OmarBerrada Why are you so optimistic about Carrick?

Last PL title won by clubs: Arsenal - 2026. Liverpool 2025. Man City - 2024 Chelsea - 2017. Man Utd - 2013. It’s enough now, we must push on & raise the standards. This starts with being serious & putting a bid in for Elliot Anderson. @ManUtd @OmarBerrada

@ZaidBalll Why, United would not play good football and would not win

@mikestrypes @ZaidBalll Yeah, could do a better job than him

@minefire005 @ZaidBalll Do you want to coach the team?

This is the most Sir Alex Ferguson United coded clip i’ve seen in a long while. Carrick you get it.

@FallotOf @ZaidBalll Yeah, sure United won 13 league titles, for a decade ago, Arsenal do play possesion based

@minefire005 @ZaidBalll Not sustainable ? we won 13 league title playing this way most times. Arsenal is about to win the league playing defensive haram ball. Anything that gets you 3 points consistently is all you need. Spare me with the “sustainable” buzzword

@lilsmokigg @ZaidBalll Yeah you are grateful now, but as a said, it’s not sustainable. I can guarantee United next season would do as good as now

@minefire005 @ZaidBalll Bro I genuinely don’t care about that. As long as we are getting results with this style of play then I’ll be grateful for what we have.

@lilsmokigg @ZaidBalll Have you seen another team in the last decade on top 5 league win without dominating games, and dominate possession

@minefire005 @ZaidBalll Oh so Carrick is not allowed to have his own style of play? I guess you want him to copy Pep or Arteta type of style. So lame.

@lilsmokigg @ZaidBalll I expect him to dominate more, and press higher, United need the ball more, and need to pin the opponent down like City, Arsenal etc..

@minefire005 @ZaidBalll Carrick definitely played one of his best football yesterday. I genuinely don’t get how you would say that’s not a sustainable football right after you saw the clip. I really don’t know what else you expect him to do.

@hazizsegun @ZaidBalll Tbf better than Carrick ball

@ZaidBalll But Arteta will still want to plan Aram ball

Carrick Arteta Xabi Alonso Lampard Pep Guardiola/Maresca Keith Andrews Quite a few of the managers in the PL next season were players who played in midfield.🧠🧐
