Ah, another thread derailed by the germans wanking each other off. Just what we needed!

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Can this nonsense stop please? The vast majority of posts here are not by German posters and there isn't anything toxic or bad going on. This is becoming a sad meme that should go away.
I don't blame them. Lampard really did not know what he was doing
Thank you. It's becoming very unsavoury.
Not to quite the same extent. Their defence has become crazy good with the switch. Of course, they cannot keep up 2 goals in 12/13 or whatever it is, but my concern is that they're not even looking like they are conceeding chances and the ones that they are require excellent play by the opposition.
The other PL teams aren't like that as they still give you something. Further, they are creating chances, but their forwards are fluffing them. If you put Haaland into that squad/system then the likelihood of those 0-0's/1-0's going to 1-0/2-0 is greatly increased as putting him in isn't going to affect the defensive structure and he is far more clinical than anyone else they have got.
Yeh I’m with you. It’s massively tiresome. I mean the fact they have all jumped immediately onto the Tuchel bandwagon doesn’t help either.
He's very ugly.
Doing well though.

He is. Admittedly i loved Lampard, obviously. But this squad was so much better than it showed under him. And while gutted when he left, it was the right decision. I always thought this squad under a top manager with tactical nous was a dangerous squad. I hope Tuchel is that man
I think he struggled a little bit with the man management of the big timers at PSG (Neymar in particular) but he should continue to do well at Chelsea because there aren’t any players like that in the squad. So you lose a little bit of that magic, but on the other hand he can be more dictatorial with the Chelsea players. As I’ve said before, I think Chelsea are a great shout to at least reach the final in this year’s CL, and it wouldn’t surprise me if they won the whole thing with a bit of luck.
To be fair, I could discern patterns of play and a style of sorts under Lampard but you do get the sense that they were massively underachieving. Tuchel seems to have tightened that defence really well.
What he does with Pulisic will be interesting as I thought last year he'd be a really really good player for them but it hasn't worked out with him with injuries and form.

Good appointment for Chelsea. I'm surprised they only gave him an 18-month contract.
Definitely, I'd say they're probably slight favourites to reach the final on their side of the draw, and could easily win the final in a off game with a good performance.

For what it's worth, 538 currently have us as 2nd favourites for the whole thing. It was a wildly favourable draw for us - I think we went from something like 10 or 11% prior to the draw to 18% afterwards.
Reportedly there's already an additional year built in to his current contract that automatically triggers if we qualify for the CL at any point, and there are additional mechanisms in place that either side can utilise to activate the option year.
Pre-international break, Chelsea have two wins and three draws in their last five EPL matches. Today against WBA he's playing with Kovacic and Jorginho two holding midfielders and two wingbacks plus three at the back. If United had a good CM they wouldn't have to use two at CDM to protect 'their weakness' at CB. 
Honeymoon period I guess over now
Sack sack sack.
Negative, boring, clueless, embarassment from this P.E. teacher.
We see how Tuchel deals with a loss. One loss and people are calling him a PE Teacher and asking for a sack. Football fans are a silly bunch.
He’ll be sacked in the summer once they drop out the top 4, nice honeymoon period just like Ole had when he started is over
One bad result and the usual ABC trolls come out from under their bridges.
The same can be said both ways really. Most coaches have a positive bounce when they come in.
Meh, they had a player sent off after 30min. Obviously that shouldn't mean you then concede five goals but shit happens.
Let's play 'spot the clown'.Forget it. Move on and take comfort in the fact that we don't have to.plqy WBA next season.
So, what you're saying is "Tuchel out"?
What you get for wearing a beanie in fecking April.
I guess that’s that then. Who’s next?
Who knew the first real test would be West Brom at home.
Enjoying this just because the whinging little bitch moaned at Solskjaer and everyone when we were denied a nailed on in our game.
Started on the beers early today? Must've been in the pub with our players!
Haha! You guys had a bad day. He’ll sort it for next game and you’ll be still storming for top four.
Don’t usually feel need to apologise for bitterness and venom on a forum dedicated to my team, but you know what it’s like, Duffer.
Was it LVG who said that foreign managers from one and two horse leagues find it shocking and incomprehensible when the bottom half teams dont just lie down and die because youve showed up and play in cattle shed stadiums with 12 fans?
welcome to the premier league Thomas, your new manager bounce is over.

How the hell did they end up conceding 5 at home against Westbrom? Seriously though, that by itself is a sackable offense. I know they were a man down but it's fecking Westbrom.
Pfft ABC isn't a thing
Honeymoon over. Hard work begins.
FIVE goals conceded to West Brom at Home. West Bromwich Albion
It was an off day after an International break. They looked alright before Silva's red. I wouldn't read too much into this, considering Mount and Kante weren't starting either.
