Gakpo ko, Gecko ni. To some Fans, just get in new names, regardless of values or potentials. Chelsea spent fortunes to get generational failures like Havertz and Ziyech, even Lukaku.... you and I know they are seriously regretting it.

Arsenal spent almost all their account balance on Pepe, it ends in pepperish tears. Same PSV that sold Depay to us? Depay was like prime Messi when he was in PSV. In fact YouTube got tired of me watching every clip of Depay on their platform.

Gecko should please join another Club, he's not what we need now. Let's get Antony before the window closes..... that's all matter now.
This one no follow.

The same PSV sold Ji Sung Park and Ruud Van Nistelrooy to us.

And I hope you guys won't drag/blame Glazers when he joins another club and performs.

Everything is channelled through him. Reason for his numbers. Antony is a very talented players that has a very high ceiling. He really passes the eye test. And he's a left footed right winger. Talented ones are very scarce these days.

Liverpool were actually about to sign him before he went to Ajax but deal got complicated with Sau Paulo.

It's just like seeing the raw talent of Vinicius 3 years ago. You'd fight anyone that said he was better than Rashford then.
You guys wrote similar stuff for Sancho and Martial, we are yet to see the results of the eye tests.

You guys have been dodging this question.... What does this Gakpo bring to the table which we don't have in abundance? What exactly?
Apart from bn left footed, what does Antony bring to the table?

The same useless Gakpo dusted him in Eredivisie, won Holland player of the season, carrying/captaining PSV. What has Antony achieved that made you think he's good enough?

You don't need Gakpo?

Rashford and Martial have been in this club for how many years? How many goals do they guarantee per year. How many points have they won? How many important games have they shown their brilliancies and won compared to their age mates in other leagues?

The Martial + Rashford ship has sailed. Man Utd no be their papa house.
Man Utd fans and over-analysis, Imagine people mentioning Elanga and Amad as options. Lol

Martial as CF. lmao

Yes we don't need Gakpo. Have you actually watched him? He's worse than Rashford not even better than Elanga sad, there's nothing he has in skillset that we don't already have in abundance, he plays on the left, a position we have players in excess.

I'm struggling to see where he'll even play on the first team or improve the team. Maybe for depth purposes but I'll rather give those minutes to Garnacho or if Ronaldo leaves he can be deputising for Martial as a striker it in that scenario I even prefer Depay to him.

He'll be a waste of money simple.
Worst than Rashford and not better than Elanga? grin grin

I have watched him so many times, don't compare him with Shalanga or this out-of-form Rashford.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Expert17: 6:43pm On Aug 25, 2022
After chasing Sancho for 2 years, I'm shocked he wasn't signed for the RW position again. grin

For Antony, nothing special in his game and he's not worth 80-100m. Even Van De Bench playing as a midfielder had more than 8 G/A in Eredivisie.

What he did wasn't wrong in at all but like Patrick says, he should thank his lucky star that it was a calm Salah that approached him. If na rugged player and a fiasco ensue, he'll be carded for that fiasco he was involved in and who started it or who was right or wrong won't be considered. So it's a big risk he took seeing that he was on Yellow ard.
He knows he's on a yellow, he won't take part in any melee/fight, he just held onto the ball....nothing more. He's not a goalkeeper, so you don't have the right to take the ball from him.

When the ref intervened, he left the ball with Bruno and asked Firminho and Salah to step aside.

If Salah had been more forceful, maybe they'd have ended up pulling themselves which would have seen both get carded...This isn't about Bruno, I have seen teams who are chasing a goal rush a goal keeper for picking up the ball after pulling one back and the goalie is always punished if a fiasco results from his reluctance to release the ball...
30 seconds -1 minute is always allocated for goal celebration and game restart, so nothing like time wasting from Bruno.

He picked the ball first, any yellow card there will go the person trying to force the ball off him.

That was a stupid move, he was lucky it was Salah and not another players who would have been more aggressive thus creating a scene that could have warranted the ref to act...

He was on a yellow so, it was not necessary...
Funny you guys don't even know the rule of football grin grin

If Liverpool was winning, will Salah rush to the ball?

Who was meant to restart? who should pick the ball from the net?

Bruno picked the ball as we are meant to restart and Salah blocked and tried to force the ball from him, so he should have allowed Salah??

I think United needed that breather

Liverpool were on the ascendancy even before the goal.

Yeah it was cynical and risky but not worth dragging really
Its our ball, so I don't get where the yellow card will come from.

Maybe the fans want him to rush the restart so Liverpool could build on that momentum.

He was already on a yellow card. A ref with brain touch could have given him a 2nd yellow card.

In every thing in life one must apply wisdom. Time that the ref can easily add back on the clock is not worth a 2nd yellow card.
Impossible. No ref will give a yellow card for such.

We are to restart the game, and our player hv the right to take the ball and walk back to the center.

For EPL records
This is Crouch

Any reason Michael Owen and Aguero didnt make it despite scoring more EPL goals overall than Crouch
53-headed goals in 450+ appearances, with all that height, that's poor.

I am sure he attacked over 5000 corners/set-pieces/cross...I was expecting over 1000 headed goals since it's by height

So he’s at fault for doing nothing

If he did something and the goal was conceded then his effort would have made Michael Oliver disallow the goal? cheesy grin
If he had covered up for Milner or positioned properly, Sancho won't have had enough space and time to pick a spot or pass.

In other words, nothing VVD could have done in that situation to prevent a goal - you just made my point.

If he stood his ground - goal
If he charges at Sancho - goal
If he charges at Bruno - goal

But he’s at fault? cheesy grin grin
He's at fault, because he did nothing.

He was just useless grin grin

BTW, Where’s Raumdeuter? I am hearing Lisandro the midget hasn’t lost an aerial battle in the box in the PL this season.
Lol, I am still waiting for his Martinez alert.

The save from Bruno's error and how he marked Firm-no- goal and Salah gave me joy.

Milner is an idiöt.

There was no reason to commit that much to a shot. Alisson would have saved from there.

He should have trusted his goalie. If Milner stood his ground, Sancho would have been in trouble but his slide gave Sancho all the space in the world to cause further damage.
True, Milner underrated Sancho's brilliance.

But if VVD had charged immediately Sancho made that cut, I am sure he would have intercepted or force him to make a wrong decision.

Sancho that had enough intelligence to do a chop in that situation? He’s a deceitful snake. That chop murdered Liverpool and VVD couldn’t have seen Alisson had been murdered behind him.

VVD was trusting his keeper to be at alert. All VVD could do was hold his ground and put himself between the ball and the goal. Bruno was ONside and if he had closed down Sancho, Sancho would pass to Bruno and the situation would have been turned to “why did VVD vacate his position?”

And as you can see, VVD wasn’t far off from blocking the shot. It was the right decision to hold his ground, Pundits just look for an individual to blame in situations like this when it was the entire defensive system at fault.
Pundits? why was Milner furious?

Alisson had been murdered by the dummy. Look at Alisson still on the floor at the time Sancho had brought the ball back to his left foot.
The reaction time of a goal keeper is less than 2 seconds, so Alisson still have a chance of saving any ball down the middle or to his right.

Sancho looked up

Changed his feet

Bruno was shouting and pointing.

Guess what, VVD was still at the same spot.

This is Sancho with just 3 goals in EPL, engage him. He might make a mistake.

If he stayed at the blue mark, Sancho is good enough to put the shot between the space between VVD & Alisson.

Their entire defensive structure collapsed when Trent allowed Elanga to make that cross. Anything else is just passing the blame.

There’s nothing VVD could have done to prevent that goal unless Sancho skied the shot over the bar by being a useless player.
The point is VVD didn't do enough. Sancho scoring or missing is another topic entirely.

He gave Sancho time (not engaging) and space. Alison will most likely save any shot to the middle, so he should have moved to the left more.

Van Dijk is being unfairly criticized.

The entire Liverpool structure had fallen apart when Trent allowed Elanga to run behind and put the cross.

VVD was literally caught between standing his ground to block the shot or charging towards Sancho.

He didn’t know Alisson had dived behind him and if he had charged at Sancho, Sancho would have passed to Bruno to tap into the empty net.
Nope, he should have engaged Sancho or stay at the blue spot below.
