I am a United fan. Antony was bought for way too much however under this new system he’s had good performances, I would be fine with him staying at the club if he buys into the club.
@@brainlet99 their are still some glaring issues in the squad but I think they’ll be sorted out soon. I’m hopeful but I’ve been hopeful since Fergie left…
@oscarmccoy9102 Yeah but it´s not Antonys fault that they bought him for that huge ammount of money. I hope he gets in shape and performs after the whole world made fun of him (same for Maguire).
I understand what Enzo Maresca means, games that could be easy victories end up being close or scrappy wins (Bournemouth, Brentford, Leicester, Newcastle, Tottenham when it was 4-2). The draws against Palace and Forest are a reminder of how close they've been to dropping points and sometimes it's other teams ineptitude in the final third (Watkins when it was 1-0, Isak when it was 2-1) or a bit of luck (Caravalho hitting the top bar) that has saved those points
They rose and they ran, and they ran and they rose, Oil-fed pockets, where the gold always flows. They bought every player, built a fortress to stay, And laughed as they said it: "Stay humble, eh." Ten wins, twenty wins, lifting the prize, Glory-filled nights beneath arrogant skies. But the wind turned cold, and the pitch turned grey, Now the chant’s not triumphant-just, "Stay humble, eh." Loss after loss, the scoreboard bleeds, Players stumble, the team concedes. The rival smirks as the goals replay, A shadowed whisper: "Stay humble, eh." The manager paces, his tie too tight, Eyes bloodshot red in the harsh floodlight. Fans hurl curses, the critics bray, The ghosts in his mind sneer, "Stay humble, eh." No more banners, no more cheers, The oil’s run dry; they drown in their fears. What’s left of a dynasty built in a day? Just a fading echo: "Stay humble, eh." And they run, and they rise, and they rise, and they run, But the season’s lost and the damage is done. A curse, a lesson, a price to pay, Forever repeating: "Stay humble, eh."
I can’t lie Antony has looks better under the new system. Not a 90+ mil player mind you but he’s not looking completely useless anymore. Some decent link up play and ball retention. Just can’t shoot yet
With Chelseas situation I feel as if managing expectations is the correct response on all fronts both for the fans, board and players. I dont think the fans after getting rid of Poch thought they would improve to this extent, the board most likely just wants top 4 or maybe even top 7 and the players are confident why add pressure to them by declaring a title race. When they eventually lose again they are more likely to bounce back and continue on as normal. Take for example man city they lost a few in a row and their confidence is shattered due to them always having the pressure of being title contenders leading to this spiral. Even when they did win against a current top 4 side it did little to steady the ship.
heard a lot of talk about this game, and enjoyed it all, but you giving the brief emotional context to you watching this game was a really nice touch. personality really shines through in your videos.
Fellow African here, I love your content. I'v been waiting on this video, I even watched one of your old videos on Neymar just to pass the time. You need to post more man, I love this stuff.
I've never bought into the concept of Guardiola being one of the greatest managers of all time. His methods are straight from Cruyff and the three teams he managed were the most dominant force in Europe. He's only won three champions leagues with those teams, Neil Warnock could have done that with those teams.
I say, that rasmus deserves some praise too tbh. Shuda had an assist and won a pen. Feeling like more and more of a threat upfront as the game goes on.
Maresca isn’t talking about one particular team per se. It’s more mentality wise. The mentality of a title contending team wouldn’t concede the kinds of stupid goals they had. And let’s not start with Sanchez who is completely unpredictable. If Chelsea can strengthen their defense, they can 100% be title contenders. For now, it’s “score more goals than we concede.” But who knows? Maybe that is enough.
Frankly, even when city won only one games out of the last eleven, I can't rule them out of the title race. I have seen this story too many times, when City was in cricist and everybody was wondering which team is gonna win the title only to give it away to City in the final stretch.
From my extremely amateurish expert insight, the experienced team that Maresca is acared of is, Come On Yanited!!! Ok jokes aside, the post winter season is going to be insane, if any of the top 5 teams apart from chelsea faces injuries, their campaign can derail dramatically, and i think United might surprise people, my wild card is that number of players who people think are no more wanted in United, will have a positive turn of form, especially those eho are considered not fitting in Amorim's system, my theory is that people are misinterpreting what Amorim's system is, it's not about roles or positions, it's about adding certain elements to roles so that defensively they don't get exposed, and is highly versatile 3-4-3, not just the form people saw in that City vs Sporting game. And he will make people learn thise things instead of letting them not do it.
As a city fan most of what we’ve seen from us is individual errors bad summer transfer ruining us and loss heads. I can’t cry because of how well we’ve been the past decade. It’s a privilege to see what we have been but this down period we can’t cry to hard we’ve had it amazing. It’s not a managerial problem not a tactical problem just a terrible run of form and bad planning with recruitment. We have the 4th oldest squad in the league some of our mainstays in our team have been here for a large majority of 4-5 seasons plus playing 65+ games a year and none are getting any younger. We deserved the loss fair and square and some big changes have to be made come the next transfer windows.
Maybe I'm sadistic but as a juve fan I was cheering united just because we couldn't get 3 pts after beating them in the UCL so I wanted city to lose points as well it was more than I wished lol
Cmon man, saying "even the United States" is so unnecessarily derogatory. Christian Pulisic is the best player at AC Milan, Weston McKennie is great at Juve no matter the disrespect and Antonee Robinson is the best left back in the Premier League.
I've been waiting for this and man came prepared. My prediction was right. Had clicked the like button before even clicking the video 😂. Was not disappointed 👍
It's time for Antony to work his way up again like Maguire did. He's still got years ahead of him. As for Mount though, I can't. If we are keeping him, at least take the no7 away and use that to invite a consistent left winger. Rodrygo is probably impossible but guys like him would be top
Hard to understand Maresca's perspective as a Forest fan. Never in my time as a fan have I ever had it this good. Even if it's delusional, I'm in full "screw it, keep hanging around the top of the table & see what happens" mode. Football's a funny sport.
I'm a Liverpool fan buy Walker s behaviour is a shame. That was ridiculous of him. Other than that, Man U's defense was impressive. Mazraoui, De Ligt and Martinez are really good, and Yoro can be a world class CB. Add Dialot in form and Maguire is doing pretty good, that's a team with a potential good defense right there.
I was saying today how unfair it is that we had early-season City on MD1 and now the rest of the big 6 get this relegation fodder City. I demand a replay of Chelsea v City.
Felt for the neighbours yesterday. Me and wife were telling “YANITED YANITED YANITED!!” at the telly when that second goal rolled over the line. Dog was going mental, baby was clapping with no idea why, a truly glorious moment 🥲
14:25 - first time they've beaten a big 6 team AWAY since Solskjaer left!
And we did so in convincing fashion
@@NoOne-ks8tuboth teams was so ass😭😭😭 everyone is beating Them
@@NoOne-ks8tu convincing?
Was about to say when I came to that part in the video 😂
You almost discredited yourself there.
I see Football Iconic, I click. No questions asked.
Me too
Family ❤
My exact thoughts before even viewing the comments haha
Couldn't have said it better
Literally ❤
STAY HUMBLE EH ?
Famous last words before a huge collapse
at this point he might as well change his last name to Humble 🤣
Stay fumbled.
@@sbantakal4669Erling Humble
kinda makes you wonder if karma is real
I'm sure his treble is keeping him happy
Amorim really couldn't resist going two for two
Oh hey there toblobs, didn't expect you to be here
Hope everything is fine out there
With 2 different clubs 😂
Antony's aura changed the game, once he came on him and amad were running rampant down the right
Tbh under new management Antony isn't invisible anymore. Not even a United fan, but gotta respect that they have energy nowadays
I am a United fan. Antony was bought for way too much however under this new system he’s had good performances, I would be fine with him staying at the club if he buys into the club.
@oscarmccoy9102 you guys have manager that beat Pep in 2 different teams so there can be chanse for United to become one of the biggest in Cl and Pl
@@brainlet99 their are still some glaring issues in the squad but I think they’ll be sorted out soon. I’m hopeful but I’ve been hopeful since Fergie left…
@oscarmccoy9102 Yeah but it´s not Antonys fault that they bought him for that huge ammount of money. I hope he gets in shape and performs after the whole world made fun of him (same for Maguire).
one thing mass unacknowledged is how unlucky Chelsea actually were getting City at home for their FIRST matchday.
I understand what Enzo Maresca means, games that could be easy victories end up being close or scrappy wins (Bournemouth, Brentford, Leicester, Newcastle, Tottenham when it was 4-2). The draws against Palace and Forest are a reminder of how close they've been to dropping points and sometimes it's other teams ineptitude in the final third (Watkins when it was 1-0, Isak when it was 2-1) or a bit of luck (Caravalho hitting the top bar) that has saved those points
Harry Maguire Casually putting Haaland in his pocket. Such an underrated performance
GF: come over, I´m home alone
Me: I can´t, Football Iconic just released a new video
Find a girlfriend who watches the channel duh 😂
You ain't got no girl bro
But you do have a football iconic video to watch
Messi is well known as the Argentinian Amad
I'll just let u cook 😂
Who is Amad??
Your idol@@arjunprasad5250
amad, the ivorian messi
They rose and they ran, and they ran and they rose,
Oil-fed pockets, where the gold always flows.
They bought every player, built a fortress to stay,
And laughed as they said it: "Stay humble, eh."
Ten wins, twenty wins, lifting the prize,
Glory-filled nights beneath arrogant skies.
But the wind turned cold, and the pitch turned grey,
Now the chant’s not triumphant-just, "Stay humble, eh."
Loss after loss, the scoreboard bleeds,
Players stumble, the team concedes.
The rival smirks as the goals replay,
A shadowed whisper: "Stay humble, eh."
The manager paces, his tie too tight,
Eyes bloodshot red in the harsh floodlight.
Fans hurl curses, the critics bray,
The ghosts in his mind sneer, "Stay humble, eh."
No more banners, no more cheers,
The oil’s run dry; they drown in their fears.
What’s left of a dynasty built in a day?
Just a fading echo: "Stay humble, eh."
And they run, and they rise, and they rise, and they run,
But the season’s lost and the damage is done.
A curse, a lesson, a price to pay,
Forever repeating: "Stay humble, eh."
Ok so Shakespeare causally comes back from dead and no one says nothing
This is great
Glad you talked about the Hoijland penalty "not given in this type of game"... Wtf? What even is a penalty these days?
When Diallo scored the second, the first thing I thought was, man, I CAN'T WAIT FOR FOOTBALL ICONIC'S VIDEO
0:51 looking sharp!

bro your goated keep going
A bunch of chill guys just avoiding relegation😂
I don’t see any one talking about Maguires performance at game he and Martinez did a really good job containing Holland
That’s twice Amorim defeated Pep this season
6-2 aggregate.
That hojlund challenge for pen was insane
0:42 LMAO "just a bunch of chill guys trying to avoid relegation..." HILLARIOUS.
"115 seconds after that" was diabolical 😭🤣😭🤣☠️
Tinashe, always delivering.
i’ve seen enough we’re winning the league
you have the absolute best commentary ever😂
Merry Christmas guys
Should hire ten hag to fire him again for benching Amad
There are so many parrots in the world, it would seem. Do you know how many starts ETH gave Amad? Stop talking out of your ass.
happy holidays
To you too!
Hope your American?

Can't believe you didn't mention that Harry Maguire masterclass
I was waiting for this video frfr😂

Vibes on this channel are just class. This is home
What's even more shocking than realizing Foden played 90 minutes...Is that Haaland played the full 90.
Mans got pocketed by Maguire.
Maguire has never been a bad player tbf. He's just someone who needs confidence.
I'm knocking on wood 😭 please let us enjoy our form🤣
How I dress for Man City’s downfall: 1:14

UGARTE WHAT A PERFORMANCE TOO!!❤
Looking sharp my dude, love the suit.
19:01 the touch Wood joke made me chuckle 😂
Sunderland AFC fans knew this kid (Amad) was special after his loan here, class player has huge career potential
as I sit down to eat my food this gets uploaded, GLORIOUS timing
Frankly, even when city won only one games out of the last eleven, I can't rule them out of the title race.
I have seen this story too many times, when City was in cricist and everybody was wondering which team is gonna win the title only to give it away to City in the final stretch.
If rodri joins back, they might be able to patch the problem
@@cucuawe465Rodri isn’t coming back in the next couple of months. He’s not pulling a Riqui Puig playing with a torn ACL
From my extremely amateurish expert insight, the experienced team that Maresca is acared of is, Come On Yanited!!!

Why no mention of Ugarte? He was immense.

Nothing ever stays the same in football and it's awesome. Money? That'll only get you so far. The beautiful game shifts constantly.
ETH war crimes 😂😂😂
I choose to believe you wore the blazer after Man united won. As a Chelsea fan it’s time to celebrate
As a Dane, congrats on the "Højlund" that is pretty much spot on in terms of pronunciation.
My man couldn’t wait to post this video, how do you even manage your day job?
Cmon man, saying "even the United States" is so unnecessarily derogatory. Christian Pulisic is the best player at AC Milan, Weston McKennie is great at Juve no matter the disrespect and Antonee Robinson is the best left back in the Premier League.
Was meant as a compliment for how good the players and because my audience is mostly US 😂
Chelsea might not be in the title race but man are they playing beautiful football at the moment. Maresca really a magician.
*ST* ay + h *UMBLE* = STUMBLE

14:19 didn't we win the FA cup against them with Erik ?
Don't bother, mate. These folks are open haters of ETH. I don't get it.
Looked for this. we've beaten arsenal, spurs, liverpool and city im pretty sure

I waited the whole day for this drop...
Gvardiol could've 100% clear the ball for the second goal ,but for some reason he tried to backheel it and missed .
Diallo is Amad man!!!
underrated
No Rodri, No Alvarez, no party
The Antony Effect had me rolling
Brilliant vid. 😂

Hopefully the beginning of the end for Rashford. He took the Lingard path and I can't wait for him to finalise it with a move away.
That blazer is fire
