Ralf is a good interim manager, but he is a better director of football (look at what he achieved with a Leipzig for example at that job)

they should give him that job for next season, and start over next season with a better manager, or maybe make him search for new talented coach internally, he did the same with Nagelsmann

West Ham mutiny with furious players to demand pay rises after they found out cat-kicker Kurt Zouma is the club's top earner on £125,000 a week… because of the details of his RSPCA-donated fine were made public. #WHUFC [Daily Mail]

That final place up front was a tough choice between Owen, Fowler, Torres and Suarez but Owen's season for Liverpool in 2001 was special. He single handedly stole them the FA cup and after scoring a hat-trick for England in Germany went on to win the Ballon d'or which I believe makes him Liverpool's only Ballon d'or winner as Kevin Keegan had joined Hamburg when he won it.

Jordan Henderson was also close to making my team but I opted for Xavi Alonso in the end but that was a close choice.

A Manchester United XI is so difficult to do, you have to leave out some big names and Premier league era legends. But I'll give it a go.

Players that are almost certain not to make my team and who I will be ruling out are... Van der Sar, De Gaea, Pallister, Ferdinand (yes, Rio, I know that shocks a few) Ince, Carrick, Pogba, Veron, Yorke, Cole, Sheringham and Van Nistelrooy (another who would make lots of people's team)

My headaches come at right back between Gary Neville and Denis Irwin and at centre back between Steve Bruce and Jaap Stam. Although I may just put 3 at the back and go with a 3-4-3 formation and play without full backs because if you play with a back four then you get one less of their great attacking players to choose from.

He was captain of their first Premier league winning side and scored two vital late goals against Sheffield Wednesday to pretty much win them the league. He was also the captain of their double winning side the season after. One season at Manchester United, Bruce was their top goalscorer and he was a centre back. People often leave Bruce out of these things but not me, he's a legend of that club.

Liverpool

In goal would be Ray Clemence. Alisson would be second choice.

Right back. Alexander-Arnold could make it in the future. Phil Neal won a lot and was their right back for a long time. But I'm gonna choose Steve Nicol as my right back

Left back. Robertson would be close but I'm going with someone who didn't play that much left back for Liverpool but did for England and that is Emlyn Hughes.

Centre back. There's some good candidates like Tommy Smith, Phil Thompson, Mark Lawrenson, Sammy Hypia and Jamie Carragher but I go for Alan Hansen and Virgil van Dyjk

I'd go 3 in midfield

To the right side of the 3 Midfielders would be Steven Gerrard. In the middle of the 3 would be Greame Souness and John Barnes to the left.

Up front

Kenny Dalglish, Kevin Keegan and Ian Rush

I wanted to put Mo Salah in but someone had to be left out up front

I was joking of course .. he played well .. for Newcastle !

Everyone’s favourite Rice - apparently had a nightmare..

A defensive blooper by him in the second minute practically gifted Newcastle an early goal and then another massive mistake set up Newcastle’s equaliser.

I only watched the first half where he was MIA . I don’t recall him touching the ball more than ten times . To his credit the pundits did comment that he usually plays much better ..

He wasn't very good today but all players have off day and given the number of times he has carried us in games I can forgive him

He wasn't very good today but all players have off day and given the number of times he has carried us in games I can forgive him

Sadly our players are pretty much all knackered and we have no depth, I expect us to be competing for top 7 end of season rather than top 4

all hail our great transfer window

Is it me or has Foden gone real quiet despite City having 90% possession ?


That was dreadful tracking back then for the Kane chance .. the keeper saved him.

This emphasises my point about him not being a world class midfielder .. great technique he rarely if ever puts a tackle in .. he made no attempt to put any challenge in when it really mattered

Goals being scored dont actually get added on usually, I've seen plenty of games where there has been an injury time goal and still finished on the time allotted.

Now if you watch the replay of the Tottenham winner you will see the 4th official devastated which shows the officials were corrupt

You're not going down (unfortunately), but lets not pretend that the bloos didn't think they were about to be the next man city when Moshiri arrived. I actually have sympathy there - I knew what hicks and Gillett wanted to do to the club, and rick parry picked them over Dubai in 06 :facepalm:

Everton is in a mess at the moment and needs a clear out of kenwright etc, and until that happens (if it ever does) you'll be treading water. Too many people on bloated salaries interested in keeping their golden egg, rather than doing whats best for the club.

Bielsa has gone.

https://theathletic.com/news/leeds-united-part-company-with-head-coach-marcelo-bielsa/TIdygXBQiXWY/

Leeds United have parted company with head coach Marcelo Bielsa after almost four years in charge.

The Athletic reported on Saturday afternoon that there was serious uncertainty over Bielsa’s future, with Jesse Marsch the leading candidate to replace him.

Saturday's 4-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur was the club's fifth defeat in their last six Premier League fixtures.

They are 16th in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone, but have played two more games than 18th place Burnley, and three more than Everton in 17th.

The Athletic understands Bielsa’s position has been under heightened consideration since a heavy 6-0 loss at Liverpool on Wednesday, and Leeds were again a distant second best on Saturday.

Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani said: “This has been the toughest decision I have had to make during my tenure at Leeds United, taking into account all the success Marcelo has had at the club.

“With Marcelo as our head coach, we had three incredible campaigns and the good times returned to Elland Road. He changed the culture of the club and brought a winning mentality to us all. The moments created, particularly in the 2019/20 season and winning promotion to the Premier League, will of course live long in all our memories, myself and the fans included.

“However, I have to act in the best interest of the club and I believe a change is required now in order to secure our Premier League status. Recent results and performances have not met our expectations.

“We find ourselves in a precarious league position and I feel now is the right time to bring in a new head coach, in order to have an impact in the decisive stage of the season.

“Naturally, myself, along with everyone else at the club would like to thank Marcelo for his efforts and achievements and we wish him the very best for the future.”

He replaced Paul Heckingbottom as Leeds head coach in June 2018 and led the club back into the Premier League after 16 years away in his second season at Elland Road.

Bielsa has gone.

https://theathletic.com/news/leeds-united-part-company-with-head-coach-marcelo-bielsa/TIdygXBQiXWY/

Leeds United have parted company with head coach Marcelo Bielsa after almost four years in charge.

The Athletic reported on Saturday afternoon that there was serious uncertainty over Bielsa’s future, with Jesse Marsch the leading candidate to replace him.

Saturday's 4-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur was the club's fifth defeat in their last six Premier League fixtures.

They are 16th in the table, three points clear of the relegation zone, but have played two more games than 18th place Burnley, and three more than Everton in 17th.

The Athletic understands Bielsa’s position has been under heightened consideration since a heavy 6-0 loss at Liverpool on Wednesday, and Leeds were again a distant second best on Saturday.

Leeds United chairman Andrea Radrizzani said: “This has been the toughest decision I have had to make during my tenure at Leeds United, taking into account all the success Marcelo has had at the club.

“With Marcelo as our head coach, we had three incredible campaigns and the good times returned to Elland Road. He changed the culture of the club and brought a winning mentality to us all. The moments created, particularly in the 2019/20 season and winning promotion to the Premier League, will of course live long in all our memories, myself and the fans included.

“However, I have to act in the best interest of the club and I believe a change is required now in order to secure our Premier League status. Recent results and performances have not met our expectations.

“We find ourselves in a precarious league position and I feel now is the right time to bring in a new head coach, in order to have an impact in the decisive stage of the season.

“Naturally, myself, along with everyone else at the club would like to thank Marcelo for his efforts and achievements and we wish him the very best for the future.”

He replaced Paul Heckingbottom as Leeds head coach in June 2018 and led the club back into the Premier League after 16 years away in his second season at Elland Road.

Leeds impressed in the Premier League last season, finishing ninth. However, they have won just five league matches this time around, picking up one point from their past six matches.


Shame they were missing so many vital players..

The fans won’t be watching fabulously exiting football again ..

I bet their attendances fall dramatically by the end of the season even if they stay up

The referees will have a good night tonight on the money they get paid from the Manchester City owners.

That's just blatant cheating. He moved his arm towards the ball, the ball hit his arm. That is a handball. Those are the rules, it's in the rule book.

Where there's money there's always corruption.

I personally couldn't believe it when the penalty wasn't given.

I'm with you that there's definitely some corruption going on here as there's no way that VAR didn't see that Rodri waved at the ball.

I honestly didn't think any decision this season was gonna beat the Basketball equalizer that Middlesbrough had against Man Utd in the FA Cup, but you guys were seriously robbed in that Man City game.

He apparently left a club because he couldn’t get the players to buy into his game extreme pressing game !?!

In his lifetime he's seen Manchester United win 13 league titles, 2 European cups and a fair few FA and League cups.

He should to be greatful and not so angry towards his team.

Tbf that particular game suited Grealish quite well.

I'll never see him as a £100 Million player, but it was definitely his best performance in a Man City shirt imo.
