Managing a top team like this is easy if you're a good man-manager rather than being tactical.
I didn't know that these players were entering a marriage.

Most of the Man Utd players are divas imo, and lazy ones too.

Ten Hag's Football was terrible, and he had about as much charisma as a Zombie out of TWD.

But he is not the main issue at Man Utd, it's the players who can't respect any of their Managers post-Sir Alex.

Not necessarily a marriage, more a family, a place to belong and feel wanted, where you're happy.

Same with any place of work. Some places, you don't enjoy it, so your effort to that job is innafective. Some jobs you feel at home and enjoy it and it brings the best out of you.

Top flight footballers don't need tactics, they just need to be in the right frame of mind. It's all in the head.

You modern football fans listen too much to the TV pundits, who are just there to talk nonsense for entertainment value.

I feel like it depends on the Footballer and Manager.

For example I doubt that Gerrard got on with every Liverpool Manager when he was a player, but he still always gave his very best for the club.

The same for Rooney at Man Utd.

Basically it comes down to professionalism imo, and it's something that the current Man Utd team just don't have.

No offense, but isn't it the TV Pundits that talk about the players "needing to be loved?"

No, they're just there because they're getting paid ridiculously money to sit on their backsides talking sh!te about football to any fool that will listen to them.

I talk sh!te about football for free, because I can't get paid for it.

Do you think Guardiola ever gave Messi tactics on how to play football?

If he did, Messi wouldn't be dribbling by defenders at will. He'd be passing inside to keep possession.

Manchester United F'd'up getting rid of David Moyes too early.

It was always gonna be a long term project after the legacy Sir Alex left.

I have said for the nearly 20 years on this forum that Moyes is one of the best. You used to think that I was just bias because I am an Evertonian, but I know that MTVN would back me up now. Ain't that right MTVN?

What he did at both Everton and West Ham in this day and age of football, ruled by money was remarkable.

Sir Alex was very close to being sacked by Manchester United in his early days, but they gave him time and he created a dynasty.

Leicester put out their reserve team, so that scoreline is misleading to say the least

What fergie did at Aberdeen is probably the greatest achievement in british football, maybe only matched by cloughie at Forrest.

Can he at least look happy to be managing in the Premier League.

We've got so many Managers and players who scowl through interviews and press conferences.
