Manchester United and the Illusion of Competence: My Direct Experience. I worked for Man Utd for a brief period in my early 20's after starting coaching at a young age. I could do a longer article about this but here is the outline; 1. MUSS Dubai 2. MUSS Lisbon 3. Ole + Joyce.

🧑‍🍳

whoscored had him at 71.4% passing with 4 LB with 0 accurate. This is what I expect from Bruno who is taking more risks (67.7%) whereas I expect Baleba to be alongside Santos (85%) in this role. We seemed to take more risks with poss in general with only 18 LB from Lammens.

1st time seein Nik Skafar Zuzic and what a player. Mixes insane attacking instincts with Robben-esque cut ins from LW. Physically explosive for size with glue like touch and control. Goin to be a real issue for def across EU. OTW! transfermarkt.co.uk/nik-skaf… youtube.com/watch?v=yVcSIJ5O…

Have to watch it again but lot of errors here. Caicedo and Lavia in the middle together. Bwah!

Know I've posted every 'worldy' Japanese kid ever but have a butchers at Atsuki Sameshima! 16 in 2 days but some footage against U21 and top yint opposition here. Ghosts pasts defenders👻and both footed! transfermarkt.co.uk/atsuki-s… youtube.com/watch?v=J62S1kEv…

#manutd #chemun listen up. Can we send Sesko back to #rbl for Samba Konate? He turns 18 in Feb. Ridiculous upside. Just sayin... transfermarkt.co.uk/samba-ko… youtube.com/watch?v=nf-S9Uds… (sorry for ai slop just messin around)

My 3rd rangey, athlete post out of 4. What is going on? But there seems to be something special here with Ismael Petcho Camara for Haugesund. Almost 20yo no yint. 9 assists in 1,165mins! Limited mins during promo push. Injured? transfermarkt.co.uk/ismael-p… youtube.com/watch?v=lfzt8Hmj…

Recent 19yo Lucas Rodrigues has been making waves in Serie B. Classed as a DM but not restricted to. Silky skilled and progressive, but seen a lot tackling back rather than just sitting in front. Recent U20🇧🇷 call up. Take note. transfermarkt.co.uk/lucas-ro… youtube.com/watch?v=2YSQiEWF…

Seen bits and pieces of Robert William at Sao Paulo. Another classy high frequency baller like Newerton from #Cotia. Odd mins for U17🇧🇷 able to play AM/CM/W. Outrageous turns in off ball pockets despite some dangerous passes. (sped up video but still wow) transfermarkt.co.uk/robert-w…

Like the look of Mohamed Aziz Chaabane at CA Bizertin. Recently 18yo AM w/ rangey style has vision, disruptive press and decent off ball movement. Close control and smart distribution make him tricky to def. Not big risk at 18yo? transfermarkt.co.uk/mohamed-… youtube.com/watch?v=0EaJtJNc…

If reports are true that cost was a factor in replacing coaching/management staff at #manutd. Then that implies there is less cost for them for us to keep losing football games. Replacing the entire staff doesn't guarantee winning but seems like just a bit of math to them.

Did #mancity pay Wilcox and Berrada to take down #manutd from the inside?
