typical Rodgers
I had seen the score 2-1 and then red card, just now realised it is 4-1
And Dominic Solanke scoring two
Rodgers, when will he learn really !

Seems like the relegation battle will go down the wire. Bournemouth with 31 points, look suddenly in a different mood.
WestHam and Watford both on 34 points and yet to play against each other in the remaining fixtures.
Three more rounds still to go
And mathematically Aston Villa still in the mix

I don't like Mou either, but comparing him to Poch based on their respective careers at Tottenham, makes absolutely no sense at this point in time. GL may have conveniently forgotten it by now, but last summer, quite a few people on here wanted Mou at Arsenal/back at Man United

Chelsea agents Ake, Solanke, Luiz, and Mourinho ensuring we get top 4

Also Leicester's last 3 games are Sheffield Utd, Spurs and Utd. That's Going to be very tough to get maximum points for them.

I gotta say I doubted Ole (and still do). I don't think tactically he is anything special at all. He lets the players have fun while expecting maximum effort from them, and it has kinda been working for them. But for how long?

I really don't think his tactics are that simple lol. Say what you want about Ole, but I really don't mind watching this team play, nowadays. You have no idea how many times I've pondered about the meaning of life while watching their shit on a stick football in the post- Ferguson era. I genuinely considered not visiting my friends on match days, just to avoid having to watch a largely mediocre team play incredibly boring football. The Alexis Sanchez signing gave me a glimmer of hope, but they fucked that up too. Things seem to have stabilized at the club, for now. And more importantly, they're pretty fun to watch.

It's not fair, but Poch had a much worse team than the current Tottenham team when he began. Mou is starting very far ahead when it comes to team quality, but he inherited a mess for sure.

And many United fans wanted Rodgers after his fake first half of the season run to replace Ole. I mean Ole may not be great and all but going from Ole to the eternal bottler Rodgers would have been a dreadful idea.

@Thimmy don't get me wrong, Ole's United are one of EPL's most enjoyable teams to watch but looking fun doesn't win you trophies does it?

Also they haven't really been under pressure this season, or should I say every time there has been expectations on them to win a game they have flopped (countless times Chelsea dropped points by drawing only for United to lose their game in hand). You can quantify how many times that has happened this season by counting the number of times Firenze said "Ole out".

Manchester United (4-2-3-1) de Gea; Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw; Pogba, Matic; Greenwood, Fernandes, Rashford; Martial.
Substitutes: Romero, Bailly, Mata, Pereira, Fred, James, Ighalo, McTominay, Williams.

Southampton (4-4-2) McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Stephens, Bednarek, Bertrand; Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Redmond; Ings, Adams.
Substitutes: Gunn, Vestergaard, Vokins, Smallbone, Hojbjerg, Danso, Ferry, Long, Obafemi.

Referee Chris Kavanagh.

Let's do this. I've got money on Southampton.

Can you stop wasting your money on betting? If you really want to lose your money just give them to me. I swear it will go to a good cause

Southampton have nothing to play for, but they recently beat Man City, so it's probably wise not to underestimate them too much.

It is really just very, very little money

Big miss by Fartial. Just dink the damn ball

Pogba

cash out hans

See this is what I mean when I said Ole's setting his team tactically is poor. They are pressing but there is no trained plan, probably just told the forwards to push forward to the ball carrier hoping for them to misplace passes. Moreover there is no plan to capitalise on Southampton's the long balls or positioning the midfielders to win second balls.

Pogba out. He needs a slap in the face.

RASHFORD GET IN FAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

ffs
