The Soccer Thread (Version 12) — Revenge of the Backup GK

Assume they will have a lot of games on USA and still have games on big NBC. Putting a product solely on steaming kills general interest, no matter how good Paramount Plus and ESPN+ are.

 

Gotta assume Ole is done after that display.

Watford kicked the ever-living shit out of ManU today. Could have easily scored six or seven goals but we'll be happy with 4-1 over in Hornet land. Massive three points in the fight to stay up.

 

Ole down to his last hours it seems

 

The first half was just dismal. Worse than anything which I’ve seen from United.

 

It was an absolute wretched display defensively for United, and Harry Maguire's second yellow was just weird, almost like he was trying to get himself tossed. Watford absolutely smashed today but I was still very concerned about a Ronaldo goal in the closing minutes to steal a point.

 

I actually love that Trent can't get playing time for England. Keeps him healthy. Best right back in the world and he's England's backup's backup because Southgate can't figure out how to use him.

 

Ole's out. If Duncan Castles is to be believed.

 

No chance he stays after the failures this year and today. They’re just working out details

 

Ole out (officially)


leaving with class

 

Ole will surface again soon, perhaps even in the EPL. Managers just play musical chairs.

 

I think Ole seemed like a very nice guy, but he was meant to be a stopgap. There is so much talent on the team and they have not been organized or used well.
