donstan18: I watched Josh and Palmer play for Mancity against Bayern last night and I was like, how do average and below average players perform well for Pep.
Then did I realize the importance of system. Pep brings out the best in most of his players and of course the system helps but Cole Palmer is not average. |

I didn't like the line up for the 2nd half. ETH should have played Garner and Iqbal as a double pivot with Hannibal at 10 and used Garnacho on the left with Elanga up front.
That way Hannibal gets minutes in one of his preferred positions and Garnacho also gets minutes PLUS i think we would have had better control in midfield. Playing Telles in midfield was just a waste of learning time for the youths and he didn't give a good performance anyway. . |

LostMyZeal: VDB is hiding big time...omo 
Why you staying high up the pitch making it very difficult for Dalot to progress the ball to attacking areas.
Maybe he thinks he's playing SS.
He'll definitely get used to it with time but for now, that right side of the pitch is paralyzed because of him and we played minus 1. You donmeanit? |

TrebleChamp: He named the poor man Amaka, and then claim to a fencist ...  I am not an extremist and didn't like the vitriol coming out of OleOut camp. Many OleOutters stopped being logical and blamed the man for any and every thing. We were hearing things like AWB was great but Ole just didn't know how to use him, McTom and Fred were great, our squad was as good if not better than City's squad and other mind boggling statements. I also didn't gel with the OleInners who kept the defending him like the guy who just posted on this page saying Ole wasn't bad manager but didn't just know how to impose winning mentality. How do you reason with such a person? I sat on the fence and when OleInners tried to join me there i joined the Decking Boys.  |

CapitalCee: A certain man will say this: we currently have quality around the team, I am happy with what we got, the current players understands the clubs culture and what it means to play for Man utd. The Club management might try to sign one or two players before the season starts, but if he we dont get anyone, we will work with the quality we have, most of our players understands the United DNA which is very important  Our darling manager.

And I couldn’t join OleIn as they kept defending him in every situation even when it was obvious that he couldn’t do his job. It was the training sessions videos that first convinced me Ole was clueless not even the results or performances. |

Leyqute: Did he also do that while he was at Ajax ? I don’t know. I only watched him in the UCL and the pace their is different. And the quality of the Dutch League is too low anyway to use as a reliable yardstick. Depay had more hype and we have seen it didn’t really go according to expectations in all his subsequent clubs |

ChristoBam: What do you think about Pavard? Seems we're genuinely linked with him. At the right price he would be a good addition. He will be 1st choice RB for us ahead of Dalot and we can sell AWB. He can also slot in as an emergency CB and would be comfortable as RCB if we ever used a 3 man defence. He is used to playing in a high pressing team that employs a high line and he has decent recovery pace. The problem is that i hear he wants to leave Bayern cos he wants to play CB and i don't think we need a right sided CB at this time. PLUS buying from Bayern na major risk. Na engine wey dey about to knock those ones dey sell. |

BlueRayDick: The man has sycophants surrounding him; a lot of people who only think of what they will benefit if he becomes the president. That's why they keep urging him on and willing to do anything possible including telling blatant lies just to have him installed. It's not like they are not aware of his health condition. You will then see his supporters claiming that there is nothing wrong with him OR that it does not matter. In my class WhatsApp group a plastic surgeon (top guy though) and a gynaecologist (both Tinubu supporters) were arguing over this issue with an OBIdient geriatrician. The thing nearly turned rough.

Is this thread all about having agendas? Team Ronaldo on the attack whenever he scores goals, Team Bruno on the same, Team VDB whenever he drops a good performance. I know this is your speciality.
If 2 people having discussions about a new signing and how he fits pisses you off, how about you skip through all of that and drop your agendas whichever way you want.  The guy is not happy that we are not insulting each other all in the name of debate. |

DeadPresidents: As part of the sales agreement with Real Madrid, City put a clause in Brahim Diaz contract preventing them from selling Brahim to "any other team in Manchester". We know who City were targeting with that clause.
City will not sell to us. When was the last time we witnessed a City to United transfer happen at senior level? You have a point then though we haven’t had many City to United transfers cos their players were so crappy for so long.  |

That's not a realistic target. Plus, I think we can do better than Gabriel Jesus as a signing. City don’t beef us and they definitely do not fear us. They would have sold to us. And there is no striker that we can get that is better than Gabriel Jesus, at least not at that fee. |

ChristoBam: Lol you should remember Timber is 21 with a very high ceiling. ETH saw Martinez and went for Timber. There's a reason for that. All my talks about Martinez, I wouldn't be saying the same if it was Timber. Even though they're almost similar in height. Because of all the potential of development not only physically but in everything else. Martinez is coming in nailed on as a CB. He's gone through all the phase of being tried as a DM(Not really his thing) and Left back(Don't know how he fared here). That is the only point I really agree with. ETH saw both and went for Timber first. I like Martinez cos he gives us better balance as a left footer and is a better passer. Timber is probably better covering the open flank spaces that would be left by his full back which I think is why ETH went for him first. But that set piece/aerial ability thing, fogerrit. Martinez, Timber, Torres are inside the same pata. |

@ChristoBam
Over the past few seasons we have lost Lukaku, Matic, Pogba and are about to lose C.Ronaldo. We will probably struggle with set pieces this season whether it is Timber, Toress, or Martinez. In fact this might save McTominay's United career and it also increases Maguire's importance. We went from a tall squad to a short squad quickly. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 3:08am On Jul 20, 2022 |
ChristoBam: Lol people say this and studies show this but it doesn't mean much to me since I grew till I was 22-23. You'd be surprised when you meet up with some old friends you last saw when y'all were around 19-21.
So maybe on an average men stop growing around 19 but that's not the case for everyone. Especially for people that had late growth.
Btwn I'm just saying the reason people weren't talking much about Timber's height. He's still a very young player(with a slim chance of growing) that's already very technical and confident and can still be moulded to play that RB position he's played several times. You are using trust me bro i am using scientific studies. The potential for a man to grow taller in his 20s is very minimal. People grow bigger and stronger into their 20s but rarely taller. You can't buy a 21yr old player with the thought process that he might still grow taller (well maybe a board like ours can). The argument was about height and aerial ability and there is little to no chance Timber would ever become better than Martinez or grow much taller. To avoid any confusion i am not saying Martinez would be great aerially in the EPL just that Timber would have been much worse and Torres not much better. In terms of technique i don't think Timber is even better than Martinez. If you take out his Argentine passport i prefer Martinez to Timber. |
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by afrodoc2: 12:43am On Jul 20, 2022 |
ChristoBam: Maybe the fact that Timber was 20 years old until last month points to the reason height was not a major issue with Timber unlike Martinez is. Still some potential to grow a few meters.
And we were only truly linked with Martinez after Arsenal got interested. Not all those dubious reports that had us linked to every Ajax and even PSV players. LOL now you are clutching at straws. People don’t usually grow after 20. In fact increase in height stops for most boys at 18 and girls a little earlier so I don’t know the person that would expect potential for Timber to grow in height. Martinez is almost the same height as Timber and way better in aerial battles so like I said in terms of competing with EPL forwards in the air Timber would have been much worse and Torres with his height was actually also relatively weak in the air. I prefer taller CBs myself and I am suspicious of a 3rd aggressive Argentine CB after Heinze and Rojo, but in terms of that aerial ability Martinez is probably the best of the 3 we were linked to. P.S We were seriously linked to him immediately Timber’s deal collapsed. The same way we were linked to Malacia for a couple of months. The club was stupidly trying to deal de Jong first before signing those deals but moved on them when it looked like they would join other clubs rather than wait for us. |
