Average compared to a player that I would consider very good or great. I think Diaz for example is a far better player than Gakpo even if you factor in the headless chicken moments, the ball control and electric pace puts the shit up defendersQuote:

Anyway. Good result today and keeps the glimmer of hope alive.
But honestly the number of opportunities we have missed to capitalise on Liverpool dropping points is getting a bit silly.
In some ways, it annoyed me more. But that said, if we won yesterday. Liverpool would have probably ended up slapping United about. I think Liverpool were complacent today, now that’s mainly because they anticipated a walkover against United but you also have to think they saw our result and the pressure was offQuote:

United looked the better team defensively, Liverpool looked well pretty open at the back but United lacked confidence to take good chances.
Gakpo’s goal was probably the best goal of the game in that it wasn’t a clear glaring opportunity but it was well struck and well taken. The penalty was a penalty all day long, I don’t really see how Michael Oliver couldn’t have seen that on the field (incompetent?)

Dyche has been sacked.
That 0-0 is going to annoy me no matter what happens this season.
Darn it....I really wanted him to do the same to Liverpool... now the fans will get their dream coach playing attacking Brazilian football and get beat 8-1 with Salah scoring five of those goals!Quote:

Again it exemplifies my point that people seem to think Managers have wizard like powers. I can’t stand the guy but he’s done an amazing job to keep that club away from relegation given the championship level absolute rancid shit in their squad.
There’s gratitude for you
Moyes in contention to return. :lol:
So, managers don't make substantive difference to teams' preformances, but Dyche has done an amazing job?Quote:

Does this make Dyche a top coach that could do a great job with a top club…obviously not. But given what was available to him he did do a great job to stop them being relegated.
As I say you’re one of the few people on here who actually has some brains, and will argue honestly….although I thought your retort about British/English people not being smug/triumphalist a little weak (we all have our off days). You know full well what I’m saying about coaches…especially in this money driven day and age. I’d hope you aren’t being intellectually dishonest in order to point score.
well he'll no doubt save them from relegation and continue their pointless existence bumping along near the bottom of the PLQuote:

Moyes of course knows the club inside out but he’s not managed there for over a decade. This isn’t the team that he saved from relegation and built into a reasonably good team over the years.Quote:

Moyes is indeed rejoining.
