I'm not offering to write anything for the site and it's not my site, so not criticising Phil for the decisions he makes. Having said that, I enjoy writing and when I see something that's been fed through the AI structuring tools (and you can usually spot it within 1 paragraph), I immediately...

Having one of the highest net spends in the league obviously explains all of Man United's success over recent seasons...

The problem with Russell Martin was he was wedded to his 'process' until results became so poor that he had no choice but to change things. We'd then go on a great run of results and everyone would get excited, then he'd revert to the sterile possession tactics he loves and we'd be back to...

First time I've seen the incident. Having watched the replays on the extended highlights, I do think Eom was looking for contact and planned to go to ground. His touch was awful and he may not have got to the ball anyway. Even so, the referee definitely bottled it. That's either a free kick and...

Well if we go on a run under Sheehan like we did under Williams, he will be rightly sacked. I do wonder if some fans are just pinning all their hopes on us making a miraculous managerial appointment who will magically make everything better and get us promoted. Our cycle since Cooper left has...

If swapping one coach for another is actually the reason for the difference in the team, that would be damning for Sheehan and for the club in appointing a manager that would be so reliant on his coaches. Thankfully, I doubt that this theory is correct.

That 'article' is a pretty pathetic opinion piece at best.

Except that's clearly not true. The reason we parted with our previous manager was because of a run of 4 points from 9 games (1 win, 1 draw, 7 defeats) and with us slipping closer to the relegation places. Those games included getting humped 4-0 by Portsmouth, 5-1 by Norwich and a humiliating...

I don't understand how they measure xG (and don't particularly care), but surely Key's chance near the end should have been practically a 1.0 on it's own, as that will surely be a goal most of the time.

If you consider what we've played the last 2 games as a 5-3-2, then my first choice would be: Vig Casey Cabango Burgess Key Tymon Franco/Stamenic Galbraith Widdell Inoussa Vipotnik Yalcouye would probably be Galbraith's back-up in that team, albeit he's a very different player. He'd also...

I'd like to see us play the 5 we did against Man City with the exception of Vip for Idah, so Yalcouye would be on the bench. Having said that, I think he'd play best when we're trying to impose ourselves on the opposition, like we did on Wednesday. I think he suffers from our slow tempo as much...

Perhaps that should have been an option in the poll?

That's where I fall too. Thanks to everyone for their input on this thread though, it's good to learn more on the subject.
