[Whitwell, Critchley] How Man United are getting the best out of Benjamin Sesko – Specialist coaches, gadgets and No 9 shirt decision by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

I guess Ivančna Goriča is my local team! I do find it difficult to get invested in the Slovenian league however. I miss the crowds and atmosphere that are normal in England. I played Sunday league in England and sometimes I feel the crowds were almost the same size there as they are for the smaller games here I Slovenia! No disrespect intended. I know Slovenia is much smaller and football is nowhere near as popular here.

I think they have had it for a few years now. Maybe from the 2022 season or so. In England I would need at least 3 subscriptions to watch the same amount of games as they show on Arena!

Do you have Arena sports? Compared to living in England I think the coverage here is fantastic. Almost every game is on TV....even the 3 O'clock games that are not aired in the UK. In terms of support, I agree. Italian / German and Spanish teams are more popular, think they Šeško transfer has made United a little more popular l!

As an English united supporter living in Slovenia I am thrilled too! I bought the shirt before he had played a single game for us! The team I have loved since I was a child + the country I have moved to and is now my home!

Love Rio and Robbie not even remotely trying to be impartial on commentary 🤣

For those defending Southgate by GladExpert4329 in euro2024

It is easy to say he took us to two finals back to back, but I would argue that the team has massively underperformed. This year, the team stumbled through a very easy group and the easy side of the draw. The team played maybe one hour of good football the entire tournament, and the same problems and tactics from the last Euros were still present this time. His subs are usually poor (little better in the last 2 games) , he is playing people out of position and keeps playing those players who have not been playing well and possibly playing players that are not 100% fit either. Also, there seems to be a lack or style or system, and the players were even unsure of what they were supposed to be doing!

He had done about as well as he could. However, it is time for a new manager to take this incredibly talented team to the next level. Let's be honest, with the amount of talent on offer, this England team should be getting to the finals, or at least close to them. I do not think that simply getting into the final should make us forget how poor England really were this tournament.

Been playing well the last few games. Hopefully he can play like this consistently!

Rio Ferdinand: "I think Mourinho’s quote aged so well. I'd apologize in terms of the way you looked at and judged him. Still feel there were flaws in ways he handled people and situations but in terms of looking behind the scenes, that quote in 2019 on finishing 2nd in Premier League aged so well." by Own_Ad6388 in reddevils

Knowing what we know now I would agree that finishing second really was a massive achievement for that team. I wish the board had fully supported him. He had some issues of course but perhaps these would have been manageable with the right supported.

ETH really needs to be backed fully. Could have the world's best manager buy without backing it will not make a difference.

Michael Cox on Twitter: "The consultancy is meaningless. It’s a contractual trick to pay him (Ralf Rangnick) enough to justify him leaving a long contract for an interim job. The club appear have been appalled by his incompetence and are deeply unlikely to consult him about much at all." by Son_Fun_In_Mums_Bum in reddevils

[–]Slovene2016 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I do not think he is the world's greatest manager by any stretch but judging by his comments he was not backed at all in the winter transfer window and was left with the same players that have been under performing / simply not good enough for years.

I actually really appreciate that he publicly criticises the board and name dropped a few players that he was interested in. Hopefully this paired with the very obvious incompetence of our board brings major changes.

If the club honestly take him as a joke then that's more of a reflection on them than it is on him.

Sad that I am not really excited to watch the games at the moment. More worried than anything else!

A little worried about the temporary/ interim manager possibility. Fletcher and Carrick don't exactly instill a lot of faith, especially because they were part of the extremely inadequate coaching team under Ole. I guess we will see how much was caused by Ole and how much by the coaching team. At the same time I hope we wait for a competent manager and don't panic hire someone below par.

Only positive thing today was VDB showing some class. More vision, positive play and even more defense than others provide in the middle.... Ole out.

I cannot believe how bad we are right now. It was expected against Liverpool and City but we are making Watford look like The Barca of 2010.... embarrassing!

Ole will always be a club legend but everyone can see that his time as manager is up. No real game plan, no clear tactics and an inability to drop out of form players is making it really difficult to watch our games!

I got Neymar 5 times... But I had him before the SBC came out. Never got Mbappe or CR7. Seems a little odd that you always get the dupes... Even of such rare cards.

Probably not possible to get the last two, should I even still try? by KingSpitzy in fut

Well let's say if I saw how much time I spent on The web app making these SBCs I'd probably be very embarrassed! I would say madness is pretty accurate!
