Yup agreed on all 3. Add to that the set pieces are bad, but as you know those don’t count 🤣

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Prob just Nagelsmann, Howe, McKenna among free agents tbh

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

It’s not individual match xG necessarily, it’s how poor the team has been across all of them

110

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

If I can’t poach coaches who are currently employed then yes. But I’m not sure I’d sack Carrick tonight for it either tbh

100

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Haven’t had more xG than the opposition since Ipswich

2100

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

5 points from Hull Fulham Ipswich Everton and 10-man City with extremely mediocre shot margins. You tell me

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

I think the press was legit good, the buildup was mixed but there was a clear plan. The set pieces were turning positive. The main issue was obv the ostracizing of players and the board

030

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

This is actually multitudes worse than anything Amorim produced in 25/26

3224

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

lol, no way – I assume because of the open goals haha

110

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 20/09/2026

Attacking talent is just wild. Just Doku, Semenyo, Cherki, Ndiaye, Haaland, Foden, Enzo squaring up teams and blasting games open

150

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

And the tactics are not good I don’t think, but they’re not Bad

001

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

This season is going to be a lot of wondering why United don’t dominate games they have huge talent advantages in, and don’t win matches they should be winning. 3/5 such matches to start the season

0100

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I said we’d finish 5th, and I don’t think that’s mutually exclusive with being tactically mediocre

120

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

If any past United coach with more dogmatic tactical ideals put up this 11v10 there would be think pieces about how that tactical approach should never be used again in the league

191

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Enzo is the most insufferable person in the history of the game. And for no reason, he’s literally good enough at football not to have to be like this

2123

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Carrick only lever is open up games, create and concede chances, or close down games, don’t create or concede many chances. Some of the midfield stuff is very cool but other than that… I hope he fixes the gaps man. Embarrassing 11v10

0110

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Tielemans off is a mistake. Pretty frustrating

191

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Think Carrick was coaching about a 9/10 before the red and a 3/10 since. Not changing the attack for this long is wild

0131

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Every minute from now without Sesko is a mistake

2170

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

People just don’t like Bruno, which, fine, but come on now that is not a red card 😭

010

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

There was way more intent and the action Foden makes is way less common on a football pitch. Whether Foden is a red idk, but Bruno’s was certainly not

110

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

United weren’t creating chances but they were slicing through City in buildup 11v11 with the ball, and engaging lower and preventing incisive passing against them without the ball. Carrick deserves a lot of credit IMO. 55/45 against opposition with obviously better players

0120

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

I tap you on the ground studs down you kick out at me in the air studs up. Shall we go 10v10 then?

1131

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Why are people pretending Bruno and Foden exchanged equivalent blows lol

3184

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I mean it’s a loan but it’s so much money for a 27yo who clearly your rivals didn’t want

020

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

I think it takes a particular kind of myopic thinking to see two years of clear talent deficit and think players like Tonali, Robertson, Mudryk, Tosin, and to a lesser extent JPVH, Senesi, etc. fix the problem of “our players don’t look different to your everyday team in the division”

160

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Honestly I think it’s pretty difficult these days to accumulate talent that’s meaningfully better than Premier League average, and Spurs have just spent hundreds of millions on players who also aren’t really there (other than Savio and Fernandes)

170

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

He’s technically not good enough imo but yeah been ok in this match

010

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

United have good forwards, open tactics, and play 60+ matches this season. The individual attacking numbers are going to look absurd

2160

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Toronto FC just kept buying players until there were more good MLS players than not good MLS players playing every week, and now they are not the worst team in MLS. Simple sport

051

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

There was no drawing in Miami pal, beat em too

010

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Thank you for your support in this Toronto masterclass

030

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

I’m not that well kept up with MLS despite being a ST holder, but Nashville first time in a while I’ve watched a team in any league and thought “this team is actually too good to be playing in this competition”

330

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Do you know how many people publicly admitted they don’t rate Martin Odegaard lol could not be me

1101

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 05/09/2026

With the level of talent in their XI now, feel like City can kind of just sleep their way through wins. Type of thing where by October (before fixtures and injuries start to hurt) nobody thinks they’re particularly good and yet they’re 7-2-1 in their first 10

150

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Funny bc the other app had op eds galore about how good Allardyce was when Leeds hired him

020

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Early but Ipswich look like one of the worst coached teams I’ve ever seen in the PL

170

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Not sure I think Camara is good enough to meaningfully change games for Chelsea – in or out of possession – but feels like that’s baked into this fee, so decent move I guess

240

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Wasn’t a fan of Gakpo for £85m but Ndiaye for £65m seems like a reasonable move for City. I do think some of it comes from overleaning on xG/xA/G/A/ baseline attacking involvement metrics that don’t apply linearly across a league

030

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Haven’t watched loads of Ndiaye, but think the general consensus I’ve seen here is too low on him. He looks very strong on the ball and has many of the tools high goal impact players have. Everton’s attack is pretty dry, sometimes the numbers just don’t pop for a wide player in a team like that

140

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Think it is a bit lost on Spurs that the players they bring in have to actually be very good in order to win matches consistently. Just feels like numbers numbers numbers and they’re not even going to need numbers that badly this year

1110

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Lots of the fabled Liverpool recruitment team is gone, but honestly, I think they just feel reluctant to sell Gakpo to a rival as opposed to not having ideas how to replace him

010

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

Sadly City can just afford to roll the dice on stuff like this. The skillset is there. If his lack of goal output is because of the teams he’s playing for, he’s a superstar. If not, they’ll flip him to someone else for 80% of the price next summer

010

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

I haven’t seen a normal transfer in 2-3 days now. Jesus to Barcelona. Woltemade to Juventus. David to Atleti. Liverpool turning down €100m for Gakpo. Mudryk to Spurs. What are we all doing

1150

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

if you do get him ismaila sarr is a super nice fourth for this imo

060

Aaron Moniz @amoniz.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

United just have so much quality in the side when they’re allowed to play now
