Yep. For sure. Ange's suicidal dedication to this style shows the weakness of him most of all imo. He's like a religious zealot and perhaps not too bright. Nothing works all the time or forever (unless you're City or RM). But he's just like fuck it play it out more, mate! We're bein' brave cunts! Embarrassing. Makes me want to remind everyone I'm originally from NZ. - Today

I think it goes back to their teams being in the 3rd/4th tier and not being televised, so the fans just pick a top flight team to watch.

I think there are two separate discussion points here. 1) Keeping possession 2) Tactically playing out from the back Every time the ball went back to De Gea high pressing teams would close him down and often get a mistake out of him. This happens to Pope as well which is why he generally just bollocks it recently (clearly been told) and an upgrade would be good in that area soon. I wouldn’t want a team that plays out like a Spurs or Brighton (last year). The juice isn’t worth the squeeze. -
Think @PaddockLadsaid similar about Bournemouth fans he's knew through the years.

The TNT Comms who usually do Italian football games are better than the ones doing the PL games as there's no real club bias to factor in, however.... because the Napoli game was decided by two Scott McTominey goals it was a 90 minute wankathon because he's not only British but ex-Man United. The trouble with commentator and ex-pro teams is they're like kids egging each other on and trying to outdo each other with every bit of hyperbolic shit they come out with just building it up in layers. Should've tried to find it on the DAZN IT channels, (You can't hear the shit if you don't speak the language plus there's usually some smart presenters and reporters on them as well ).

Empty seats everywhere. I think there is a decent hard core support but the rest are made up of double fans. A lot of people from Brighton have a second team. It’s very strange. They are doing remarkably well for a football club. Mid table in the PL, European runs, semi-finals etc. they didn’t even have a stadium 20 years ago and had to travel to Gillingham for home games. Easy to forget the shit times. I hope our supporters don’t.

About 80% - 90% of television pundits will still put them in their pre-season top 6 in August.
-
I hope they have a promising start to next season (let's say 7th after 5 games) and then completely fall off it again. Will be gratifying to hear how "United are back!" from all these emotional fanboys masquerading as pundits and journalists, only to have to watch it all go tits up again.
-
Aye. The story of their decline was funny but they are officially shit now so let’s just move on. Having an entire pundit team made up of Reds (either ex players or scouse ex players mocking them) means it will most likely not go away until they are good again.
-
STILL devoting hours of air time to a shit football team continuing to be shit. These fuckers must be the only ones still surprised by them
-
I guess they’ve pissed off the wrong people.
-
That’s assuming they don’t want him. I think he’s played every game under the new manager
-
Anyone remember this btw: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I'm_with_Busey So bad it was good.

I found this pretty interesting. Some nice praise for our tactics too.
