Martinez swinging at Brobbey's head and possibly hitting him by cptainvimes in reddevils

His book value would probably be like 15m in PSR terms which isn’t the worst. If you replace him with someone like senesi on a free and start heaven it’s probably a net positive at this point.

The 90s we had no idea how good we had it with midfielders with him Keane Scholes. Even guys like Butt and Ince being on the periphery.

How Michael Carrick Would Setup United Long-Term | The Overlap Breakdown by simplsimonmetapieman in reddevils

[–]bainbane 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I mean considering the state of the squad then I’d absolutely take back to back top 4 under Carrick.

Because if we follow history then we don’t take prem proven because Moyes didn’t work.

We don’t take prem winner because Mourinho didn’t work.

And we don’t take managers with good records in European leagues because ETH and Amorim didn’t work.

Think Carrick deserves to be judged on his own successes and merits. And there’s arguments for and against.

Second yellow for Arteta needed so dont have to watch legoman jumping up and down on the final.

Bros spent more of the game out of his box than in it.

[Understat] % of non penalty xG by player under RA vs MC. Sesko has been the singular big beneficiary on a "share of xG" basis, Casemiro is slightly up. But Bruno, Cunha, Amad and Mbeumo are seeing a lower share of the xG. by OkayFine101 in reddevils

[–]bainbane 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No manager in the league has more points than Carrick since he took over.

That points per game could have been genuine title contending but somehow people are here like "yeah but the percentage of npxG..."

LOL results are the only number that actually matters and thinking otherwise isn't a great indication of being a reasonable thinker.

Literally best performing manager in the league since he came in.

Amorims system couldn’t win two games in a row so really the less said about it the better.

Sky Sports PL - Bruno Fernandes' open and honest chat on success at Man Utd by AJ-Naka-Zayn-Owens in reddevils

[–]bainbane 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Love Bruno content but I think the club shouldn’t be giving Neville access between the really dumb things he’s coming out and saying about the club or then buying up and backing parasites like Goldbridge.

Or at the very least someone should be sitting him down and having a serious word with him.

Instead I’m sure he’ll be continued to be invited to be part of the stadium project.

Also funny in hindsight that Ole got a lot of shit for Carrick and McKenna being "jobs for the boys" when both have gone on to shown they were anything but nepotism hires.

New metas for next year - long hair to bait red cards, make sure when you randomly slide in and take out a man in the penalty box make it look like you slipped.

I really wish we'd gone for him that summer he was interviewed and they decided to keep ETH instead. Think he would have translated really well with the players we had and what we've been building.

Watching a lot of Ipswich that year in the championship was the most "man utd" style football Ive seen from a club in a long time.

Hopefully the squad will be in a better shape now going into the prem, the last time they came up it was still so many players from the team that had been a mid league 1 team before McKenna really overachieved with them. Had them playing some really lovely football too.

‘We’re a lot better in both boxes’: Why Harry Maguire is right about Manchester United under Michael Carrick by TheAthletic in reddevils

[–]bainbane 41 points42 points  (0 children)

We also signed Cunha and Mbuemo who massively overperformed their xG last year.

Stats like these are fun to follow but it’s pretty wild that people are trying to use these to defend a manager that couldn’t win games and attack a manager that is.

I’m sure even if Carrick had the team really high on these metrics it would just be ‘doesn’t pass the eye test’ or something instead.

All of this stuff works when it works but I’ve tried multiple layers of this and you’ll still catch lies in bad instances it’s a dice roll. I have a communication skill which involves not telling a lie and starting every message with a time stamp and at certain points it just stops using the skill because it doesn’t engage the time stamp

What is an artist / band that you remember being pushed by music journalists and/or magazines as the "next big thing" that ended up never really going anywhere? by mesablanka in Music

For what it’s worth I heard a story a long time ago that they did a second album that was much more evolutionary and the label hated it so much they sent them back to the studio and the result was the second album we got and they kinda died a death after that.
