Tonight's football thread

Definitely!

I am a Manchester lad who would be proud to see a good United side play a good City side in the champions league final. Instead we have managers in charge at both clubs that are not up to the jobs. With Pellagrini you feel like you should give him a cup of tea and a biscuit and sit him in a quiet corner somewhere and let Brian Kidd get on with it. With Moyes he is like a deer caught in the headlights. A very small manager lost at a big club and he can't cope.

So why comment about De Gea using his feet? It was excellent keeping, his instincts are second to none.. true we shouldnt be indebted to our keeper and a 40 year old but the fact he used his feet was a non-issue..


But Greek and Turkish teams are almost always much much stronger at home and weak away. I was fairly sure Chelsea would go through, and thought we could turn this around.. and we did..

you expect 2 very different games against those teams, and that was how it worked out.

Guus Hiddink is talking about managing in England next year but Spurs being the favourites.

what about the chap at Dortmund? He'd be much better than moyes but I think we missed a trick not appointing the special one.

David Moyes has won more champions league games than Manchester city have in their entire history…….

I think Klopp would be superb and could well leave Dortmund. Munich just buy up their best players and the German league's a bit of a joke now.

He's also used to developing and not working on huge budgets.

Hiddink is too old, he'll be 68, you want to appoint someone in their late 40's early 50's.

klopp was my original choice but it would have been hard after last years champ league final to prize him away but we should now sack moyes and make an effort to get our man klopp.

Didn't realise Hiddink was that old! Agreed, no point in appointing him really.

A joke alright.

People pointed to his ego, as if that was a valid claim when they had a manager who simply banned sections of the media that he felt slighted him and had no problem suing the owners over horse semen. He was hardly a shrinking violet.

How long was Fergie at Aberdeen? How long was Fergie at Man U?

Mourinho is a top manager, but prolonged success? He's only been shown to be a 2 season manager..

what's wrong with two seasons of success? You will not get that with moyes and he wont last two seasons

Because we cant afford to back a manager like that.. give him 100+ a season.. its what City do.. we dont have that model.

Bayern Munich eh? Playing a proper side at last

The pain and embarrassment will soon be over for you and you can concentrate on the real issue of getting Moyes out.
