Brighton & Hove Albion has confirmed that head coach Roberto De Zerbi will leave the club after tomorrow’s final Premier League match of the season against Manchester United.
Being at La Masia is such a cheat code to becoming an all-timer
While all the other young talents are stuck in a rat-race around smaller European clubs, in Barca you get a chance
A culture that actively pushes teenagers into the first-team amongst the best development staff in
The United Stand is a constant center of toxicity in the United fanbase
Their recent targeting of Marcus Rashford is no coincidence
It is malicious intent.
His passing, running in behind, 1v1 threat. This is a flagship player.
You see the improvements already this season, despite his form
Give him trust, surround him with good pieces, and you have one of the best players in the world
Marcus Rashford ❤️
do you guys understand the shit you criticize?
you can't press Palmer with one player—normally the forward has to engage their man and then the rest of the team steps up IN SYNC to close down Chelsea
Rashford's job was just to conserve his energy in that moment if there was a
Genuinely, person to person, this is some of the most pathetic fan behavior I’ve ever seen
9 tweets back to back blaming all the game on one player
Disgusting
It’s insane that people are trying to say Goldbridge doesn’t have an agenda
Usually when there’s tens of thousands of people protesting a company’s lack of integrity—there’s some truth to it
It’s documented that The United Stand is a nasty cult that thrives off negativity
I knew I wasn’t crazy
If you think Haaland bad general play yesterday, FIND A NEW SPORT
So many casuals desperate to jump on his nuts the second a game ends
These moronic fans don’t deserve this team. Not one bit. They’re SEETHING at the fact Bruno and Rashford weren’t playing. Not any big names to blame anymore
Why question the continued incompetence of manager, when I can just abuse a few guys
@RegistaCall
I was just thinking this reading the Bruno article. How much longer will the "we're Manchester United" gimmick go on for? especially when we're playing like shit 😭need to start contending ASAP for the Yamal/Estevao gen to take us serious
Ronaldo got months of headlines because he "couldn't" press from the front. Martial got years of abuse because he looked "Lazy". If INEOS are really about elite attitude & performance the last few months should provide the easiest sale of a player ever
I watched back the 2017 UCL Final vs Juventus
takeaways:
— modric was a literal god
— benzema was madrid's most important forward
— madrid were better defensively back then than they are now 😭 More compact centrally, better coordination in the press
— zidane underrated manager
Let's be honest, you don't go round talking to other manager's if you're not removing the current one. I think it's a huge mistake but the Glazers are still there in the background and pinning it all on the manager and resetting is a well trodden path.
I just woke up and this is the first clip I see lmfao
Haaland completely bodying Branthwaite, one of the best CB prospects in the past decade, with ease
what a freak
The more I watch back games from 2016-2019, the bigger the gap between Salah and Hazard is
Hazard had more wasteful actions in his game than I thought and fell short in the one area of consistency he needed to unlock the final third: the final ball
Salah is different levels
HOW have we gotten to a point where Marcus Rashford is a ball knowledge litmus test
football fans, please, contextualize his performances
get past the generic sky sports/BBC takes and you feel much better
What is this? Going as far as to QUESTION THE LEGITIMACY OF OUR PLAYER INJURIES?
This is exactly that kind of disgusting behavior the encourages player abuse.
All so Goldbridge and The United Stand can keep their leaks with Ten Hag & Antony. Cancer on the fanbase
What do you mean by "where does he fit"? 😂 Your manager is Gareth Southgate, not a JDP savant who's going to prioritize ball retention and rotate the ball to meticulously break down a team
Without a runner + volume scorer in Rashford, the squad misses a pretty obvious dynamic
Yes if Rashford was still on amazing form there'd be a place for him in the squad but would still garner the question - where exactly does he fit in the team? And with who?
Grealish offers something no other England forward does, so even on bad form he's got a leg up
Okay, I'll bite.
The issue is about how much illogical criticism over Rashford there is—and how this high volume of criticism leads to scapegoating and then personal abuse
It’s not about the 30 g/a, Rashford could’ve put up the same numbers as this season but ran his heart out every week and the majority of the fan base would applaud him and appreciate him for it.
Abuse is NEVER ok. But criticism over effort levels is warranted this season.
@DF93k
He's had success everywhere, so I don't see your point. It's just a blatant lie to suggest he's "destructive" or "power hungry" when all the evidence says otherwise
He left Chelsea because he wanted to be a coach, but Boehly kept dragging him into more responsibilities
United fans need to get real with themselves
This INEOS project is going to take at least 3 years to reset the squad + a DYSFUNCTIONAL wage structure
The executive appointments are great so far, patience. Get humble in the short-term, because there are no instant fixes
Haaland is a once-in-a-generation forward, this guy has some of the most gravity in the box we've ever seen
Even among the biggest games, the UCL semifinals last year, his impact is clearly shown in how Alaba and Miltao are afraid to move away from him during City's second goal
Erling Haaland is a ‘gravity well’ 9.
Gravity wells represent the gravitational pull a large object / mass exert on another thing.
For all 3 goals; Haaland symbolises that, a large mass who pulls surrounding players into his gravity field—creating space for others.
not to mention, 85th minute, the second line is not pressing anymore, and Ten Hag has told the team to drop into a low block and defend the lead
you guys pushing these agendas are genuinely so embarrassing
nothing to even cope about, we played extremely well in the second half, generated chances and our best players missed them. it is what it is, league has our complete focus now.
Getting exposed to the highest levels of competition in the world THIS EARLY?
The amount of developmental improvements you can make when your body is still changing/growing can alter the course of your whole career
If isn’t retribution for that *one* United “fan” who week after week influences hundreds of thousands of people to go on a witch hunt and abuse the team’s main player, I don’t know if there’s anyone up there
Thoughts and prayers with you Marcus—fuck that scum.
@registarodri
busquets covered more ground and was 10x smarter in duels than Rodri who somehow strips more in a double pivot
and busquets would eat premier league attacks for lunch
People are too scared to give players the credit they deserve in real-time
Trent is one of the best creative passers ever, let alone from fullback. He transcends his position. GOAT
If INEOS wants Tuchel, and Tuchel wants United, there is an underlying assumption that he wants to carry out a project—an important difference from his reasons for hiring at other clubs
Dortmund: his job was to stabilize and try to push them further. PSG: brought to win the
@Soul_StormOP
no your bitching and nitpicking over a western adaptation that is clearly never going to adapt the original manga 1-to-1 due to cultural and logistical differences is the cringe part.
Honestly, really worried for Rashford. Ideally he’d rest and recoup for a great season next year, but this is such a blow mentally after being an England regular for YEARS
hope he can persevere
This is why I will always maintain passing is the most impactful trait for a midfielder
When you are smarter than the rest of your opposition, a well-timed switch, simple line-breaker, or long-ball can change the entire match
My second favorite CM ever, one of the goats Toni
Sancho is so similar to Grealish in the sense that his ENTIRE 1v1 game revolves around finding free space to playmake into
It's not about running past the fullback, but manipulating them enough to find the perfectly angled pass onto goal
Sancho killed Mendes with this
DAVID ORNSTEIN CONFIRMED TUCHEL WANTS THE UNITED JOB
Watch out for us next year man, a competent defense and manager that actually platforms our forwards to succeed:
Rashford - Hojlund - Olise
Mainoo - Bruno - Onana
Shaw - Martinez - Todibo - Dalot
This comp is so dusty 😭😭😭
I’m sorry, I’m not even trying to hate. But if Harry Kane is the standard of playmaking in football, this game is finished
70% of these are simple switches midfielders always do lmfao
I was talking to my friend who goes to the University College of London the other day, and he said he still hadn't met a single City fan, despite being in a ton of football circles on campus
Even with tons of people from Manchester studying there, they all supported United
A Real Madrid fan after the game vs Man City:
"Man City fans don't deserve this amazing team. Give this team to United and see how excited they will be to see them play every week."
Remember these days. You will never understand the culture of Manchester United if you hound out people like Marcus Rashford
This is our soul—Carrington is the bedrock of the greatest club in the world
Every coach, every player rates this guy ridiculously highly, but social media thinks they've come to a revolutionary conclusion on Rashford's ability
I pray to see him in his prime under a good United coach
I don’t think Arsenal fans would scapegoat Saka like this. Same with City fans and Foden, Liverpool fans and Trent etc.
So why has it become so toxic in United’s fanbase?
I think it comes down to how United’s fanbase was massively grown during a period of fantasy-level success
Rashford has to be the ultimate case of how media opinion destroys a fanbase's ability to think—Hojlund/Garnacho were far worse than him today, but he gets scapegoated
Bring up his wages and completely ignore how EVERY SINGLE forward has underperformed under Ten Hag this season
I cannot express my hate for Ten Hag enough. You had the tools, but you persisted with this disgusting style of style of football that the squad doesn't even have the facilities to complete
Bypassing buildup altogether without Martinez, long-balls into players that can't win
This Rodri "defensive midfielder" gimmick has to die.
Start putting him in conversations with the 8's. This guy is box-crashing and playing as high as a box-to-box 😭
@htomufc
this is VERY new to NBA discourse. it's normally just narrative hunting from the media constantly. In fact, for the longest time, football was ahead with tactical discussion having its own niche. but now there's stuff like JJ and LeBron's podcast coming out is great for the space
Need Haaland to escape City asap man
This guy was ripping up PSG & City IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE on transition in Dortmund and now he has to camp at the far post every game
Outside of Mbappe, most devastating transition guy in the last decade and this is how Pep plays him 😭
The casuals who try to say Benzema only became good after Ronaldo left are insufferable
He was arguably Madrid's most important offensive player: the brains of the front line
This is what I was most interested by. Arsenal's second line jumps after one of Havertz/Odegaard engages are some of the best in world football
Porto splitting their CBs wide is fine, but keeping a large distance between their midfield and defenders forces Arsenal into a
This guy Rodrygo is a top 10 player in the world, and he's stuck playing out of position at Real Madrid
Has such ridiculous close-control dribbling and playmaking ability
Find your own team man
Form has to be the dumbest justification for picking players in tournaments. These are the fine margins of the game, inherent quality matters
Henderson shouldn’t be dropped because of poor form, he should be dropped because he’s awful. The same way Rashford should play because
This dumbass Drake really must've written this diss himself
He really missed the entire point of 'Mother I Sober', saying Kendrick got molested, when it was all about the pressure in his family to tell their "truth" because HIS MOTHER & their family were getting sexually abused
Strikers that have the physical qualities—height, strength, speed—to play as a real
#9
but are creative geniuses with brilliant technical qualities to playmake for their teams
Mainoo's one of the best 8's in the world, already. This level of technique and game awareness along with such a strong physical frame—he excels in every game style.
Get him the right sitting midfielder, and we're going straight to the moon, I promise.
Valverde is wildly overrated in the Real Madrid fanbase
I cannot wait until his ass gets benched by Xabi Alonso for the Bellingham/Tchouameni/Camavinga midfield
@afcgully
what are you waffling about man, his team was defending the entire game
pedri is such a strange player to have an agenda on, he's so obviously elite 😭
WOAH THIS IS TIER 1 😭
If Omar Berrada and Jason Wilcox are getting their hands dirty and meeting with McKenna's representatives LAST WEEK, no chance Ten Hag stays after the FA Cup final
Thomas Frank on Man City-Arsenal:
"Two of the three best teams in the world, not only in the PL right now. Both Arteta and Pep, I admire hugely for the jobs they’re doing. Same style of play, tweaks, strategy.
Honestly, it was boring in the end." [sky]
genuinely how tf does Foden remind you of Zidane? at least with Jude their size, stature, and dribbling are kinda similar, but Foden??? 😭
this England hate watch is going to HIT this summer
🗣️ Jamie Carragher: “Jude Bellingham is the Real Madrid star but it’s Phil Foden who reminds me of Zinedine Zidane. Bellingham is a phenomenon, yet for me Foden is England’s most naturally-gifted footballer.”
@TeleFootball
@ChingChibg19224
this is a pretty misguided narrative. he's a mediocre defender, not bad, not the best.
he's not playing a Liverpool high line, he's good
Please EBL, provide some insight that a 10-year-old child couldn't pick up from watching Sky 🙏
This tirade after Marcus Rashford's OOP game to sell him is some of the most casual discourse on football Twitter
There are so many ways to structure an effective press with him
When fit, Luke Shaw is one of the best left backs in the world.
When on form, Marcus Rashford possesses genuinely elite quality and is quite literally unstoppable.
It’s a shame that both are ‘on and off’ but that’s what they are..
Time to replace them with reliability
@ManUtd
.
you know what pisses me off? if PSG win it this year, the football historians decades from now who just whore out over G/A will look at this as a revolutionary performance by Mbappe
2 G/A IN A UCL COMEBACK, HE'S BETTER THAN MESSI!!!!!
It hurts to say, but you need to have an otherworldly mentality to succeed at the graveyard that is Manchester United. Bruno has it. Do Rashford and Sancho? I don't know—they'd probably need more support to make it happen.
It's not because of history or any of that garbage. It's
