[@jibbybeast3330]

I was just about to type this... Also Poch won a league that exclusively is PSGs and rarely get competition and Ajax generally win their league and have few competitors and also since ETH went Ajax are begging to have him back aswell as Bayern wanting him... Poch is a nice man manager loves youth but his also a serial loser he won a league you can only lose you dont have to win at psg just avoid losing... Poch loves participating and winning as a bonus and thats not the case with ETH

I'll never give them credit regardless. Their financial doping of the game all these years is clear for all to see, regardless of whether it was legal or not. The fact that it did happen, and took city from relegation dogfights to champions league trophy, needs to be addressed by the pundits for once. As of now, all i see is everyone talking about city like they're a legit team and they deserve it. They are not, and they do not. At all.

[@NinpoUK]

All the talk of Poch being great with youth, all of the youth ETH has trusted has done great for United, even this season. Mainoo anyone? Garnacho? Kambwala has been fantastic until injuries interrupted his intro the team. Amad has been managed well through his injuries to go on and win games for United. ETH deserves far more respect than he's getting.

Anton waxing lyricals about Poch being good with Young players when ten Hag literally made 2 squads out if Ajax academy because his first squad was picked apart by big clubs, and still managed 3 league titles in a row while also going far in champions league with a club that IS academy driven. Seriously Anton come on.

[@KidMagnifico]

Wow Abby speaks SO fast. Its crazy

[@NinpoUK]

I think Sterling fell out of favour when he left the camp mid tournament. Don't think Gareth has called him up since then.

[@nicolasbecerraaldana7242]

Jesus, how can you say that Poch is better than Ten Hag with young players when he has won only the league 1 with Mbappe and Messi on the team. Ten Hag brought up the likes of De Jong, De Light, Van De Beek, with whom he won the Eredivisie, after that his team was ransacked by all the big teams in Europe, he rebuilt it with the likes of Gravemberch, Kudus, Martinez, Antony, and won it again. And now he is bringing young lads into the first team at United: Mainoo, Garnacho, Kambwala. People say that Ajax always win the Eredivisie but for the past two seasons they haven’t and before Ten Hag got there they haven’t won it for 5 years. So put some respect on Ten Hag’s name. Poch is the biggest lie in modern football.

[@RoomAtTheTopStudio]

Banter aside, what you're saying is true

[@akmolali3026]

How do we know Rashford hasn’t been injured for the past 3 months

[@edtcreative]

Grealish, Toney and Shaw are the only questionables in the squad

Toney and shaw yes, grealish offers something different and is part of the treble winning side, cant not take any city player that is a starter when fit

[@KTJ_1]

Man people hate ETH for some reason. Did last year not happen? Swapping managers every 18-24 months is counterproductive to success.

it is justified, why would you take someone who doesn’t even want to play football to play for the country 😂

[@dondamon4669]

Rashford is not even trying FFS Grealish is playing a role in a team. The fact Rashford jobs around the pitch is enough to not pick him.

SOMEONE TAG SOUTHGATE. THIS IS ENGLANDS EURO WINNING TEAM! GK Pickford RB Walker CB Stones CB Maguire LB Trent CDM Rice CAM Bellingham CAM Foden RW Saka ST Kane LW Gordon Maguire naturally hogs the LCB/LB position allowing Trent to invert from that left where he can see the whole pitch and pick out any pass under the sun, while dropping in to support Rice as CDM who will do what he has done all season and boss the midfield, Stones to overload if necessary😮, Walker to naturally dominate the RB RCB position. Allows Bellingham and Foden to cause havoc as the two 10s. Saka is the best RW in the world (along with Rodrygo). Gordon is an animal who will track back as LWB if needed but going forward has been the best LW in the prem this season. And of course HurriKane as the 9 where he can be just a 9 and give Foden and Bellingham freedom.

27:58 Anton going on about Poch and his profficiency at managing young players. That's what made Ten hag a top manager at Ajax, he's done it with many players at the youth system in the last 2 seasons and won trophies at Ajax with that philosophy and won a trophy at Man utd. So pipe down Anton and Abbi, we don't want Poch

[@obongo96]

TEN HAG produced kids at Ajax that were phenomenal so him and poch are not that different

[@dondamon4669]

Makes me laugh when people think the manager is so important but when you ask any players who have won lots they don't even take notice of the manager and its only 4/5 teams that win anything in every league/country so it's about a clubs history and how much money they have. Clubs and players make managers look good and if a manager was that important Leicester would happen all the time

[@jrj765]

Morgan Gibbs White has 15 goal contributions in the Premier League this season That's more than Grealish, Rashford, Curtis Jones and others combined It's more than James Madison as well Rashford has been extremely poor. He doesn't deserve to be near an England squad Morgan Gibbs White should be in that team.

[@DeanRTaylor]

I don't get the Grealish hate. He plays a completely different role at City compared to other players. He's often the pass before the assist, recycling play, keeping possession, and winning fouls that allow the team to regroup, move up, and take shape. We saw his individual brilliance at Villa when he was the leading guy. He's stepped up to the big time, something not all players can do, and is likely to have five trophies, including a treble and a double, by this weekend in just two seasons. He's a winner and a vital part of one of the best teams in the world. I don't think Pep has any intention of selling him, as he offers something completely different from Doku and Foden. Underappreciated

[@dondamon4669]

It's sad that he's ruined his talent by just being a decoy player though

[@RogerSmith1984]
