Enzo Maresca on who he thinks will be Man United manager when they face Chelsea:
"I guess it would be Ruud [Van Nistelrooy], but he's a friend of mine. We played together. We spent years together in Malaga. We have still relations. I think it'll be Ruud."
"We have started to watch some PSV games. Unfortunately, we had already watched many Man United games. At the moment, I'm sad for Erik. But at the same time, I'm happy for Ruud."
"As I said, he's a friend of mine. Hopefully, I can see him on Sunday. I'm starting to watch PSV games."
On Gary Neville's 'billion pound bottle jobs' description of Chelsea:
"I didnβt hear it, but I still remember watching TV, they showed the number of finals Liverpoolβs players had played & the number of finals Chelsea's players played."
"The difference was huge. That shows the difference between the two clubs at the moment. The reason I say in this moment we are not close [to Liverpool] is because you need to live moments, you need that experience to improve things."
[via Scott Trotter and Robert OβConnor]

RΓΊben Amorim will remain as Sporting manager until the next international break. (Which means Ruud Von Nistelrooy will be in the dugout for ManU-Chelsea)

Our close down has been poor in the starting periods.
A real test for the so called "Team B" today

Veiga was unconscious of his environment for that goal. Being too casual without scanning the background

Today mental strength to out manoeuvre opponents pressing is 0. We cant string meaningful patterns of play.. our confidence seemingly in the gutters

The negativity around these players in terms of their decision making is absurd...
From Veiga Disasi KDH ... they don't seem to know what to do when pressed, making it hard for other players.
How did we buy Disasi and Badiashile for a combined 80m?

Bad selection = bad performance. nothing on the players so far all on Maresca. Change that team completely and weβre back in it

Bad selection = bad performance. nothing on the players so far all on Maresca. Change that team completely and weβre back in it
He trusted his B team , which he has in cup competitions , not his fault the players can't out-manouver Newcastle.
In fact , it's very positive for Maresca as he's learning and reading about his B team players

Let's see the mentality of some of these players to rise above adversity in the second half.
This is their first biggest test ever.
We have seen Reece, Palmer, Gusto and Neto played by the coach out of position and they still performed well.
This is not about the coach. This is about the player's application.
Look the way Felix is pressing timidly and aimelessly. Look how Disasi is defending just holding people without anticipating moves, Look how Nkunku is running
We should really know if they can be trusted for the Conference League final.
Maresca has improved teams performances in the second half.
This is their Audition

Negative line up. All started with KDH as a touchline winger and their good press. Nkunku and Enzo not good enough. I feel for Nkunku because heβs not a CF

The Bottom Line
We have always overrated this B team's mental and tactical capabilities.
We have seen them bull doze weaker opponents equal or worse than Asante Kotoko and thought they had attained the same level of cohesion and growth as the first team
Secretly to be frank, have never thought I can trust them with Conference league elimination stages
But if these players are worth the hype we give them, then this loss should be a catalyst to their growth just like the first team's loss against ManCity.
It should hurt and pain them to push them to see the horizon they need to reach to be competitive rather than the false sense of invincibility and comfort ability.
The two goals were quite preventable. First was poor mental strength to maneuver an intensive press and the second from poor organization. All identical to our first game against City, and all rectifiable.
The good thing is they have a second chance with the FA Cup.
The pain of this loss should drive them into becoming better players and a better team.
If we say we have two great teams, it shouldn't just be fooling ourselves. Everyone must live the hype. The trust should be worth it.
For the FA Cup, as fans we must accept possibility of another elimination if we truly want two competitive teams. Their mental, tactical and technical growth can only be grown when the pressure for failure is real like in such a cup. They must be played there as we also chase the Top Four with team A
Next, We will be doing a three part series of these players incapacitation.
