Feels like Bruno Fernandes is the only coach on the squad.

Emery was giving detailed instructions in the break before overtime...for United I only saw Bruno speaking.

Ole is a people manager.
Make the players feel good about themselves and hope they show a touch of quality to win a game.
Sit back and rely on the speed up front.

Now he takes his penalty takers off :lol:

Absolutely stealing a living, Ole is. Worst coach in top flight football.

Now he's using his subs in stoppage time of extra time to bring ON penalty takers, Telles and Mata.

Somebody tell Ole that he could've won the game in ET if he'd refreshed the team earlier. They've clearly been gassed for ages.

Imagine having to do a warmup to come on in injury time of extra time to take a pen.
What a life.

I miss those golden goal days.

Feels like these overtime games have generally turned into borefests in recent years.

I wish they would just play until someone wins it.

Penalties are not worthy of deciding who the better team is imo.

No Neuer here...

How the hell did he not keep that Shaw shot lmao

Foye · Post #133 » by **Foye** » Wed May 26, 2021 9:53 pm

These keepers will be remembered as the worst in penalty kicks history lmao

This one's on Solskjaer. Awful team selection, tactics and subs.

Agreed.

and a 50.000 inhabitants blue collar half rural half industrial town team with just about 18 years of top flight experience goes and wins an european competition against teams from London megalopolis or Manchester.

this is what makes football great.

and why stupid superleague must NEVER come to exist.

Agreed. It's like the knock out stages in the WC or Euros. Teams get way too cautious to not lose and forget they can actually win.

Superleague! hahahaha.

So 2nd place in the prem but not trophy, I'd say that 5th and the FA Cup is more successful.
