Can imagine a few Prem clubs asking about him. Seems suited to English football. Big, fast, strongkillerandflash said:Really impressed with Sanchez, proper defender

He's had a really great game. Would love to see him in the premier league.killerandflash said:Really impressed with Sanchez, proper defender

A 17 year old and 20 year old playing centre back is quite extraordinary at this level. Love the Ajax model.2
-
De Ligt and Sanchez are the stars of this side, thought Dolberg would offer more though.0

The Dutch do love a bit of afternoon deligt.stackitsteve said:And De Ligt, can't believe he's 17!!!

Ajax very disappointing, shows how poor the Dutch league is. Reza and Van Wolkswinkel able to score 15+0

Well done United, comfortable winners, although you have to say that Ajax were woeful.0

Nevermind Ricky van Wolfswinkel, Reza bloody Ghoochannejhad!Callumcafc said:3 -

The pair of them should have big futures, top performances given their ages.stackitsteve said:And De Ligt, can't believe he's 17!!!

He may have been a great player, but Michael Owen is the most boring man on the planet!6

So Man United have qualified for the champions league and so far Liverpool have not . They've also won two trophies along the way..
Also does this mean Southampton are now in the Europa league next year?0 -
No Southampton
5 teams in CL means only 2 in EL, Arsenal and Everton.0 - Sponsored links:

Well he did take a side that finished 5th, added Zlatan, Pogba, Bailly and Mhkitaryan..........and finished 6th!agim said:Mourinho wins big games. United will be a force next year. He's a quality manager, the amount of games they've played, few big injuries and awkward situations winning 2 cups will be a good season.
However ultimately he prioritised the Europa league so you can't knock him, he's done what he set out to do. They're tough to beat and should finish higher next season.1 -
Yeah they spent money but what top 6 team doesn't? I'm pretty sure City spent more and they had a very limp season.Chris_from_Sidcup said:

I'd say United have had a more successful season then spurs, city and Liverpool purely because of the two cups.
If JM is being honest I doubt he'd have signed half the players he has in that United squad, plus playing 60 odd games he's done well.1 -
It's Jose speak of course, but it's interesting how he claims that winning the Europa league is a better achievement than finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th
I wonder if other English teams in the EL will be thinking now that this a is a great opportunity to win a major trophy AND get automatic CL entry. It's a massive slog, but Everton's best chance of CL football is surely through this route rather than trying to get into the top 4?0 -
For a top six team it's a high risk strategy from the beginning of the season, but worth reviewing if the first half of the season is not going well.killerandflash said:It's Jose speak of course, but it's interesting how he claims that winning the Europa league is a better achievement than finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th

Don't forget Man U, almost did not make the final in the last seconds of the semi.0 -
For Everton it's a great idea to go for the Europa. They're almost certainly not going to finish top 4 so why not give the Europa a crack. Better to have a go and finish 10th than to finish in their usual 7th having gone out of it early.0
-
the clubs who have been finishing 6-10th should also take the two domestic cups more seriously as that is a great route into the tournament too.0

I would rather we won the Europa League than came second in the Prem*killerandflash said:It's Jose speak of course, but it's interesting how he claims that winning the Europa league is a better achievement than finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th

Rising Sun in Loampit Vale is a good bet for football. Spanner pub but friendly. Actually thinking about it likely to be the only place in Lewisham that would show football regularly. Apart from the Holly Tree which is a bit out of the way.sinking feesh said:Lewisham has to be the easiest place. Not sure about the pubs though
London bridge next easiest by public transport, loads of pubs there to watch it in0 -
I think you could argue that it is bigger for United as it means they have now won every trophy they can win.killerandflash said:It's Jose speak of course, but it's interesting how he claims that winning the Europa league is a better achievement than finishing 2nd, 3rd or 4th
