@strongkid21 @ronaldobrown_98 Nah that’s city. Arsenal have spent less. And city went and got game changers in Guehi and Semenyo in January and Arsenal didn’t. City have better players, especially now their CB pairing is very strong.

@occupied_9 @ronaldobrown_98 They’ve spent like 800 million in the past 3 years they have the deepest squad in the league it’s no one’s fault but their own for spending it on meady centre backs and dms

@ronaldobrown_98 Especially considering he was booted out by Amorim. It’s not like he bailed. It’s very over the top.

I’m not a fan of Garnacho in the SLIGHTEST & I make that very clear, but now I’m starting to think the pile on is stretching a smidge too far.

@tactixology I don’t even think it takes people having a super deep knowledge, just some basic logic. Like when a manager spends the summer asking for De Jong, maybe signing Casemiro instead is alarm bells. We’re so used to not having basic competence. Just a bit of it will go a long way.

THE CARRICK DECISION With Carrick vastly outperforming all reasonable expections in terms of results, but with his system also showing undisputable tactical gaps, United face a complicated choice. Stick with Carrick, convinced things will improve with more time and more suitable players, or look for a big managerial upgrade, the sort of which might not be available this summer. The issue with going with Carrick is that: 1) United don’t seem to have deep tactical knowledge in their sporting department, people with real authority who could work with Carrick, e.g. on a plan to fix pressing next season. Is Wilcox supposed to be doing that? 2) the failure to address systematic issues then usually leads to the club trying to overcompensate by building for that manager in a frantic fashion, impeding long-term squad development (see: ETH, RA, etc) What ends up happening is the club spending too much on players and profiles that have dubious potential, while also neglecting and not investing enough in key areas, regardless of who the manager is. Not saying it will happen with Carrick. But I’ve always maintained United need much more tactical knowledge and authority in all club areas, to be able to support - and, crucially, challenge - the manager. What we’ve seen in recent years is an attempt to support managers with smarter recruitment and better operational execution. But we’re yet to see United provide the context and knowledge for managers to adapt, grow, develop and overcome. Tactical issues that ETH and RA had, evident for months, largely went unresolved. It’s been too much of “let the coach figure it out”, waiting for a divine intervnetion, instead of “this needs to be dealt with, let’s come up with a reasonable plan of action”. The club should aim for a more modern, hollistic approach, to completely allign different departments and stop yearning for a miracle-man to take care of it all.

@JohnnyFitz1 @ronaldobrown_98 They’re already butting heads so it’s really more of a push. I’ve seen that loads of times. We need to stop letting these refs convince us everything’s a red card.

@occupied_9 @ronaldobrown_98 I've never seen another instance of a player throwing his head forward like that and not getting a red card. I've seen much less and red cards handed out for it.

Haalands kept Gabriel on the pitch

@poetscorneruk The pain in this tweet

Arsenal played well :(

@unitedhan For me City have better players. Arteta causes his own problems by going so clear earlier in the season. But the team with more money and better players usually wins the title.

Arsenal have to get rid of Arteta if they go another season trophyless🤣

@JohnnyFitz1 @ronaldobrown_98 Shouldn’t be a red, two yellows was right. But it would have been a red for one of ours.

@ronaldobrown_98 Shite refereeing and pathetic VAR have kept Gabriel on the pitch. If Casemiro does that, if Martinez does that it's a red. This is the blatant inconsistency from referees and VAR. It's not a difficult decision, it's a clear red card for violent conduct, always has been.

@ronaldobrown_98 Handbags. Good that the ref did his job, just a shame it doesn’t happen with our players.

@unitedhan His football IQ is so high, didn’t surprise me he played CB with no issues

Everyone was badmouthing Maz but he’s been brilliant

@ronaldobrown_98 He was excellent. And he plays wi the maniacs in midfield who are far more erratic in passing. Underrated how many 50/50 situations he wins

Mainoo absolute clinic today, honestly in disbelief with the disrespect he gets. Only just turning 21 years old.

@ronaldobrown_98 Tell Ugarte to forget everything and treat it like a Copa América match against Enzo and Caicedo. I want the Uruguayan in him to emerge.

1 win in 4 games for Carrick… Turning up to Stamford Bridge depleted - WHO’S gonna rise tomorrow???

@ronaldobrown_98 He smoked PSG this season

@occupied_9 Having watched Suarez this tie who is putting up balondor numbers in Portugal I’ll continue to doubt it

Tonight showed me why he’s been Prem linked so much, he’s better than I thought.

@ronaldobrown_98 We’ve gone from 15th to 3rd with Casemiro and Bruno huge drivers in doing so If we fix the midfield this summer with CL football then the club will have been proven correct in their squad management.

The lashings I received for lamenting United for ignoring the midfield last summer. “wE’Ll waIT TiL NeXT sUmmER” gimmick. 12 months is a LONG time in footy. Needs change, worsen, amplify or expand. Now United need like 3.5 midfielders, LW, CB and a FB either side.

@Ellis_ He’s 20 you low IQ bore

@UTDFondre What a strange little post

• Michael Carrick will go down as one of the worst interim managers Manchester United have ever had. He has proven time and time again that he’s not capable of managing Manchester United. • No clear tactics, looks clueless on the touchline, arms folded, relying on individual brilliance for months. Get a proper manager in. • No matter how bad Mbeumo is, he should never be benched for Amad Diallo he’s already done what Amad couldn’t do in limited minutes. • This is the second time United have received a red card under Carrick, and he’s looked completely clueless in handling it. • You can’t talk about progress when Luke Shaw is starting for Manchester United. Šeško started today, yet no one even attempts to put in a cross. • This team needs to be completely dismantled, struggling to even string together 4–5 passes. • Benching Mbeumo and Mason Mount who could have helped in midfield, just shows Carrick is too soft to make tough decisions. • We waited over 24 days, only for Leeds United to beat us at home in the Premier League for the first time in 41 years plus. • What has Michael Carrick actually offered since the initial manager bounce?

@unitedhan What’s annoying is Keane said we have to accept the decision. Then after Carragher said this Keane admitted it was harsh.

Mad when he speaks sense

@ronaldobrown_98 He’s a much smarter footballer. Just rusty tonight, feels like you’re being a bit harsh off the back of that.

Mazraoui does nothing better than Dalot, by the way.

@poetscorneruk Nobody has seen this cunt play Nobody

Now we speaking
