Expert17:Weedtaker won't like this. |
nihilistjnr:He sure does bruv. He sure does. |
eph12:Luke Shaw and AWB have never been good crossers long before Ole ever met them. Let us be fair and factual in our criticism. |
Nezzjnr: ![]() |
eph12:When did he become a mai guard? |
![]() This guy no serious las las |
Jodera:Nah. It is in their DNA. What is happening now is that their great transfer window is now giving many the confidence to express what is within them, which is ....................NOTHING. |
Jodera: ![]() A shekpite gonna shekp. It is what it is. |
This exposes why one has to watch who to debate on this forum. They are mentioning talent and people are basing their entire argument on trophies won. It is what it is. Mendy sorry o. |
Last season Elanga was killing it in the under-18s but struggled in the under-23s however he has started the under-23s this season in good form. Hopefully he continues to improve and can contribute to the senior team by next season. Will be looking out for Elanga, Mejbri, and the 2 CBs Bernard and Fish this season. |
patrickmuf:Oh so Martial is your favorite? I didn’t know that. ![]() |
Sniper4real:They just got promoted so it is not beyond possibility. The result is not the focus, rather it is the education and learning that is key. You can't be fielding 16 and 17 yr old boys against 19 yr old to 21 yr old men and not chop serious L. |
Sniper4real:The team is young. We are using 16-18 yr olds mainly. Greenwood, Williams, Mengi, Garner, Levitt, Gomes, Chong should be the ones playing those games but for different reasons are out of the equation. |
Nezzjnr:Liverpool used their trademark press and we tried to play out of the back. Losing possession this way led to 3 of their goals. Their team was a team of 19 and 18 yr olds with two 20 yr olds while ours was a team of 18 and 17 yr olds with two 16 yr olds. |
TrebleChamp:Liverpool won 5-3. We conceded 3 cheap goals losing possession to their press. It was expected though cos their team was older and more experienced than ours. Mejbri struggled in the first half but get better in the 2nd half. Shoretire was red carded for retaliation after a Liverpool guy (who also got a red card) almost broke DiShon Bernard's leg. Elanga was unplayable throughout. He should be ready for first team minutes by next season, or at least a loan move. |
TrebleChamp:LOL. Vidic was tall. He and Rio were about the same height 1.89 or 1.90m (6ft 3) depending on your source. Mengi is 1.83 (6ft 0) which is not tall for a central defender. |
Under 23s about to face Liverpool. Shola Shoretire starts even though he is only 16. The reserve team is severely lacking in age-appropriate forwards. This one too is likely to end in an L. |
TrebleChamp:The only comma is that he is not tall. His decent jumping ability and aggression means he is likely better than Lindelof in the air though. Even Eric Bailly struggles in the air despite good jumping ability mainly because his timing is so poor. |
Ravioli:It is good to be business savvy but sometimes one wonders at the misplaced priorities of Woodward. The guy wants to do strong head over 2m with Telles but when it was time for him to do strong head and cut 20m from Maguire fee or 20m from AWB fee the guy acquiesced like a concubine. |
KingAlabi:Sometime in 2019 when i said Greenwood was already the best finisher in the club most people here doubted me, only for Ole to repeat the same thing a little later before Greenwood himself proved me right when he finally got his chance. Mengi is already faster than Lindelof. Much faster sef. And he is stronger as well. He is still a teenager so he will be behind in terms of reading the game, match experience, and decision making BUT in terms of pace and pawa he is better than that Swedish wimp. |
MRTA7:One can't blame Ole for Bailly being such a Jonesy type of player though. I have no doubt that the only thing keeping Bailly from replacing Maguire is fitness. He complements Maguire better with his pace and ability to recover. Our backline can be a little higher with Maguire/Bailly rather than with Maguire/Lindelof. If they keep messing up Ole should test Mengi in the cup games and see if by the end of the season he can claim a shirt. He is already faster and stronger than Lindelof will ever be in his entire life. |
KingAlabi: ![]() This Solskjaer get bad mouth. The guy na king of sneak diss. E go dey smile dey wreck careers. |
codedguy1:Very true. Matic always gives us half a season of good play and half a season of bag of beans play. ![]() |
codedguy1:As old as Matic is he is only person that can play solo DM on that team. McTominay’s passing is too limited and Fred struggles with positioning and physicality. The long term replacement for Matic is not yet in the team. |
codedguy1:Their best season was last season with Rashford as LWF and Martial as CF. Why do you want it changed? We have tried Martial on the left and Rashford as a CF before with JM. It does not work long term. Rashford is worse at finishing than Martial and his linkup play is doubly worse. 2 key qualities for a CF. Martial on the other hand, maybe because of his mentality (i don't know for sure) can go 3,4,5 games consecutively being isolated and invisible on the left wing. As a CF this does not happen often as he is the focal point of the attack. Lastly we should stop confusing these boys. Switching their position every season can't be good for their development. Their best season together was last season in which Rashford was LWF and Martial was CF so we should allow them build upon that rather than dismantling it for no reason. |
eph12:Focus. Use your brain. I actually watched an Evra interview in which he talked about the match in question. They came in at half time and everybody was praising Evra because he was having the game of his life and had the opposing winger in his pocket. The game was looking easy and the players were at the risk of losing focus. That was when SAF started attacking him for minor errors and threatened to take him off for playing rubbish. That sobered everybody up and they went into the 2nd half with renewed focus. |
TrebleChamp:Cross and nod in 2020? ![]() Instead of Daniel James to adapt to the level and style of football Manchester United needs you guys want Manchester United to adapt to the style of football that Daniel James can provide. LOL Because of his potential but yet to be seen crossing ability you want us to buy another striker? |
patrickmuf:The Sancho issue is even out of United's hands. Dortmund might not want to sell this late in the window even if we decide to pay up. It is likely going to be another Top 4 struggle this season. |
patrickmuf:Greenwood won't be rooted to the bench. There are enough minutes in the season for 4 of them to rotate the 3 positions between them. Having those 4 mean we would hardly need to see James or Ighalo play. It is only at United i see fans rejecting talented players because fear of competition. It pays us as fans to have talented options rather the current drop off between our 1st choice forwards and the bench. Lastly, and i think i have said this before: If Sancho comes the person whose place might be at risk could be Rashford (with Sancho playing LWF) or later on down the line Martial (with Greenwood playing CF). |
eph12:Use Greenwood as RWF na. Abi you want the team structurer to change for a bench player like James. Grenwood is already quite good at running those channels and this is where most of his goals come from. Teams change their structure for talents like Zidane, Platini et al not mediocre talents like James. Also the team won't be better if James hugs the touchline and keeps spamming crosses into the box. It is a low percentage tactic which is why it has been phased out in modern football. Your wing forward should contribute with shots, passes, take ons NOT spamming crosses into the the box the way G boys send spam mails. |
chidexxy007:Exactly why the line hugging and crossing should be left to the full backs while the wing forwards should be in channels between the opposition CBs and FBs. |
eph12:It will just be too lopsided. If he is hugging the touchline what happens to AWB? We can't change a superior system because of one minor player's deficiency. Daniel James is just not good enough for a club aiming for the top. Not everybody bought by Man Utd is United level. We have had Bellion, Djemba Djemba, and Bebe here. It happens. |
