Finally got a chance to watch the Man U game.
My take away.......More of the same crap. I'm not even going to blame Mou for this. We created a bunch of chance and wasted them all. Pogba was un-clinical....again!
Honestly, if the play was trash, and we couldn't create the chances, I'd be happier. To keep getting clear chances and wasting them like this, so settle for ties is so FRUSTRATING.

A part of me wants to agree with you, but realistically speaking this thing of getting one goal and sitting back trying to protect that lead for 45min etc, is down to Mou.
I'll always reference back to a tweet Piers Morgan made when he basically said that United had already won the title....were also I think 2 goals up in the dying embers of the game, and SAF was on the touch line barking orders and demanding perfection. That's the difference. This mentality is Mou's fault.
In all teams chances may be missed, may be wasteful sometimes but the mentality of never say die comes from the top.

Is this supposed to be some sort of surprise?
Cause are we forgetting that Juve is HEAVILY stacked, and has been continuously adding players strengthening their squad for the past how long? They also aren't exactly in the most competitive league, all they really do is wait to turn up for CL.
This season in:
Miralem Pjanić
Dani Alves
Medhi Benatia
Marko Pjaca
Gonzalo Higuaín
Juan Cuadrado
Season before in:
Paulo Dybala
Sami Khedira
Mario Mandžukić
Daniele Rugani
Neto
Simone Zaza
Guido Vadalá
Alex Sandro
Colombia Juan Cuadrado (Loan)
Gabon Mario Lemina
Hernanes
Look at all of those crucial names. Pogba or no Pogba, with that kinda talent coming in you'd expect Juve to be competitive at the highest level.

I agree with you in regards to part of this being Mou's fault. His managerial style isn't what we've been used to for the past 20 years, but at the same time, we shouldn't be in this position late on in the season with all the chances that have been created. The level of futility in front of goal really comes down the players. At times its almost like a Twilight Zone....the ball just can't get in the back of the net.

As great as Allegri's been for us, I'd like to see him go to the prem and prove that he's a world class manager like Conte.
Arsenal should ditch the old Hag Wenger in a heartbeat if they have a chance to sign Allegri.

I was referring to Man U being much better than Anderlecht, not comparing them to Tottenham.
The comparison was that AA Gent managed to pull off 2 upsets against Tottenham despite Tottenham being the much better team.
So given this result, perhaps Anderlecht can pull it off too despite their opponent (Man U) being much better than Anderlecht.
AA Gent had been playing pretty bad in our domestic league around the time of the Tottenham games. Anderlecht on the other hand has been doing well all season and are currently on top of the league.

Pogba was clearly holding Juventus back.

I'm not sure if you guys are sarcastic with this Pogba talk or just that obsessed with the kid.

Don't remember his tenure at Milan. Well, the beginning anway, but doesn't Allegri take charge of a team when their stacked or close to it? If he takes charge of Arsenal it will really show whether or not he's the real deal. Kind of like Enrique becoming a "good" manager because he coaches Barca. Allegri would probably do well at a club like PSG though.

He won a scudetto with Milan in his first year at charge and almost won it again his second year. Inter was the talk of the town then.

Who exactly was on the team his first year? I mean you know way more than me regarding serie a. Is my assumption of him true?

You can say that about any coach/manager that coached or managed great players. Yes, the players help but He's a great coach and it's all in the tactics.
First year, Milan bought Ibrahimovic, sure that helped.

I guess I'll wait to see if it's all hype, which I'm leaning towards.

It's been said already. These boys just obsessed with the fact that their clubs will never be able to afford to take gambles like that.
Keep on pocket watchin....

Ahh yes, the classic "it ain't trickin if you got it" logic appears again.
It's sad that that's the only thing they can use to rationalize their dumb transfers.
