I'm not convinced they have taken things up a level. I think Fergies best man utd, mou best Chelsea and wengers best arsenal would have no problems competiting in 2018 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pink_triangle Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 As I have said there is nothing special about the likes of Mane and Robertson. Players need managers/systems that can get the most out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I say nothing special, I really mean there are players of similar or greater quality at man utd who are playing significantly worse. You put Mane in man utd the last couple of years he wouldn't have done anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may not be a Salah/Hazard tier, but I think he's pretty damn good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjsell Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Didn't mane have some great goalscoring stats at Southampton prior to going Liverpool? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetime Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 It’s all about signing the correct player, for the correct system, for the correct club. Liverpoolare doing very well at that, Mane is a great example and where united are seriously lacking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something José seems to have forgotten how to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morseo than Hughes, who was sacked by stoke and Southampton in the last 12 month's for being crap. Bruce, maybe, but then I suspect it's more ole is ok only having a 5 month reign, whereas Bruce could probably get a more long term job at some point Edited December 18, 2018 by zahidf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reality is at that level most managers will be sacked for being crap after a few years. Bruce and Hughes both have good and crap. Ole has had one opportunity and only had crap. The reality is Hughes and Bruce are more tainted due to longevity. Note I wouldnt give any the job, but find it funny how people judge "qualified".
