With the new season weeks away I've been thinking about our rivals for top four.
I think Arsenal and City are pretty nailed on (unless a title disappointment hangover and the 155 charges comes into play) so what about our traditional rivals Liverpool?
Well following a manager who masterminded a PL and CL in his nine years in charge will be tough but is Arne Slot the man to do it? I have my doubts and I could well see him having a Moyes at United kind of season because:
- his 'rolls royce' CB is past is best (Rio Ferdinand)
- his main attacking threat is also a year older and not as good as he once was. Will he be motivated under the new boss (RVP)
- some talented but so far untested collection of youngsters may be an issue (Smalling, Jones, Fabio, Rafael, De Gea)
- they could be about to find out their owners weren't that great and relied on the skills of their previous manager.
Are Liverpool fans worried? I think they have every right to be. As the reds of Manchester are making headway in the transfer market and critical staff Liverpool are seemingly standing still.
In a weird twist of fate Slot's third game is away at...Old Trafford. Where was Moyes' third game? Away at Anfield! Make of that what you will.
Slot = Moyes

Barry’s a really shiite poster when he’s not being Barry.

Lol I do love when wumming gets too close to the bone
Realistically a Man U wum shouldn't have a leg to stand on right now.
But being out trophied by Antony and the like is never going to go down too well.

Wumming? Careful Barry or your stock will fall faster the Rashford’s…..

I'm just the narrator. I don't have opinions. If you are upset about Ten Hag winning more trophies than Liverpool in recent years then that seems more of a you thing. I can only present facts in a reasonable and non biased way. Very much like this article.

Atleast get ur facts right barry, i assume u mean from when eth joined utd which was 2022.
Liverpool won the fa cup league cup in 21/22 so they count. And eth said himself charity shields a trophy we won that in 22 too, and another league cup 23/24. 4 cups > 2.those are tthe facts.
so ten hag hasnt won more trophies than liverpool in recent years.

Imagine being in Liverpool's most successful ever PL era, and United being in our least successful era and we are arguing about which team has been more successful in this era. As I said, standards.

I think Schmeichel mentioned him recently, letme get what he said.
"I've sat with Sir Alex today. It's really sad. I mean what he did for this football club everything that we enjoyed, the great times and everything.
"To sit with him and he's watching this... that for me is really, really sad. He did something really extraordinary with this football club. And all of that is not there anymore. The club changed."
"Then you have somebody coming in running the club," added Schmeichel. "They've supported the manager, they've given him money. We've played three games, we've lost two. I don't see the difference.
"I could really cry because of that because I want this team to do really, really well."

Just compare the relative happiness of both sets of fans over the last decade or so. Trophies arent the be all and end all in football, theres perspective. But i understand why Utd fans like Barry cling onto the little things when theres so much unhappiness at his club rn.
Here u go barry itll be alright, could be worse.
