Gary Neville complaining that Arsenal took 26 seconds for a corner. Blissfully unaware that Everton took 40 seconds for the free kick straight after. Then when Everton took over 30 seconds for their corner, it was "waiting for the big men". It's all perspective Gary.

Zinchenko had a great game. Wouldn't be putting Havertz on now in his place. Arteta must have backed him to get booked.

Gary has dropped the act of being a fair pundit. His comments now usually are reflective to that of a biased fan for/against certain clubs.

He'll be doing his bi-monthly Glazer rant later today / on MNF because his club lost this weekend.

God but Gabriel Jesus can whinge.

TitianGerm · 17-09-2023 05:32PM

Evertons only hope of staying up this season is that the three promoted teams go back down.

Crowd starting to turn on Dyche due to his "outdated" tactics.

Hopefully they go for a "modern" manager like Lampard or Jones to save them.

You couldn't pay to watch that dross every week though especially when it is not getting results.

Think Luton and Sheffield United are goners. Everton/Burnley/Bournemouth fighting it out for that final spot imo.

If he does go, who realistically is there for man u to get instead? I thought ETH was the project manager they'd give time to try build something, do they rip it up and start again with someone like naglesmann?

Was that not the last guy...... or the guy before...... or.......?

El Gato De Negocios · 18-09-2023 07:44AM

ETH is going nowhere and to suggest he will be gone by Christmas is laughable / wishful thinking.

18-09-2023 07:45AM

I don't think too many people want him sacked tbh.

loyatemu · 18-09-2023 08:16AM

ETH has had terrible luck with injuries - Wan Bissaka is now out longterm. That's 3/4 of his first choice defence. Having said that, I'm seeing little evidence of progress in terms of playing style and falling out with multiple players is never a good sign.

United's worst start since 1989, but I doubt they'll be giving him another 3 years to sort it out like Fergie got then.

Every manager has "bad luck" with injuries at some stage. The injuries have nothing got to do with players strolling around the field attempting to do a press like last Saturday against Brighton

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121124104#Comment_121124104

He won’t go, I don’t think. But if it did happen, it’s obvious who they should for - the man they faced on Saturday.

How many managers have those players been strolling around the field for now? Rashford is there since Van Gaal, he has been strolling around for quite a collection of managers.

United could appoint Guardiola tomorrow and he would fail because those players are a collection of lazy failures who don't have the mentality to succeed or any interest in putting in the hard yards required.

It would be the dumbest most idiotic thing possible for United to sack Ten Haag and think that the next guy in the door will do any better. Its going to be shite for some time yet, but if they back him then in a season or two they might finally break the cycle of failure they are stuck in.

Sacking him and replacing him with whomever the media says is currently popular will just be yet another message to the players that they don't ever need to change.

It would be the most shallow, superficial appointment possible, literally just going for the current flavour of the month.

So they would probably do it.

rob316 · 18-09-2023 04:27PM

How didn't Maddison get a penalty yesterday, defender came through the back of him, VAR looked at. As stonewall of a penalty as you will see. Shocking

Then you look at the one awarded to Gordon and its like WTF...

jacool · 18-09-2023 08:26PM

Burnley unlucky there. Great vision and through ball by Josh Cullen but "deliberate" handball the call. Forest will probably nick it now.

1-1 last 10 mins.

Fitz* · 18-09-2023 09:31PM

Really like this tactical talk from Thomas Frank. It's refreshing to see it from an active manager giving such an insight, but I get the impression that his bosses won't be too happy with it being talked about so publicly for all to see!

Fitz* · 19-09-2023 06:44PM

Newcastle are being absolutely gifted by the TV gods this season so far.

GW 1: Saturday 5.30 pm

GW 2: Saturday 5.30 pm

GW 3: Sunday 4.30 pm

GW4: Saturday 5.30 pm

GW5: Saturday 5.30 pm

GW 6: Sunday 4.30 pm (the last possible tv slot after having the earliest possible midweek game)

A couple weeks of Saturday 3.00 pm

GW 10: Saturday 5.30 pm

GW 11: Saturday 5.30 pm

GW 12: Saturday 5.30 pm

Why are they nearly always given the same slot?!

NITRO95 · 19-09-2023 07:37PM

Because 5.30 BST would mean it's primetime Saturday night in Riyadh when they are all sitting down to watch their National team play in the PL

doc_17 · 19-09-2023 07:44PM

Any doing any reading in these perspective new Everton owners? Christ, they sound awful.

Something is definitely up.

How have they managed to get a Tuesday - Sunday gap when Man Utd then have Wednesday - Saturday? It's not exactly fair there.

Yes the owner of this 777 crowd has a conviction for drug trafficking and they are being accused of fraud and racketeering in the US! Surely they won't pass the owners test?

That seems mild compared to some owners from the petro states.
