Red overturned
Allan red card last season.

Reason for giving the red was that he launched himself and he was off the ground when making the tackle.

Tripper did the same, launched himself off the ground and his kick was even at KDB’s knee but the red was overturned.

That’s the power of the British passport. cool

Makes you wonder why the previous manager was sacked. Or the one before that. Or the one before.
I cannot remember the last time Rashford tracked back to help the full back behind him. He just strolls on the pitch like he’s prime Messi.

English player commits a red card offence, it was reduced to yellow.

If that was Xhaka, Pogba, Fellaini, etc - it wouldn’t have been reviewed.

I hate the corruption in this game that protects British players.

It’s sickening.

Rangnick came and tried to make these players work harder but gave up. It's mission impossible
His #gengenpressing lasted only one half.

Those lazy players gave up in the next game. Working hard for the badge isn’t part of the requirement at Man Utd.

What an assist by KDB.

3-3.

KDB is a wizard.

The problem here is that these set of players have refused to improve their work rate. The only option here is to get rid of them. It's not that they are worse than other players in the league, but being better or more talented is not enough today.
The Norwegian fraud brought that culture to the club.

He lied to the media that his team will not be outworked and he sat down there smiling as every team in the league outworked his team for almost 3 years.

Stop watching De Gea
Another elite goalkeeping by Pope today

Withdrawing back to the edge of box 6 and dictating the 1-v-1 to KDB.

If that was Henderson, he would have rushed out to the edge of the box like a möron and concede a goal easily. cheesy grin

Not sure Utd can beat any EPL team this season. These clubs are not joking!
My sentiments exactly.

Leave talents aside for a minute. These bottom sides are playing with incredible intensity that I haven’t seen United play with since Mourinho days.

City are struggling to keep up with the intensity.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by Illimitable: 5:02pm On Aug 21, 2022
These Newcastle players aren’t better than United players but the intensity at which they play can unsettle any big side.

Man Utd players are perhaps the slowest at whatever they do unless they are counter attacking. The game play is so slow and laborious.

Give him the no 1 shirt @ United let's see whatsupp.
The Ramsdale that was relegated 3X is doing fine at Arsenal.

No matter what, he can't be as bad as 2011/2012 De Gea. We lost more than 10+ points because of his mistakes
When Ramsdale/Henderson wins a golden glove with a defence that contains Young(33), Valencia(33), Smalling & Jones, then you can have a conversation.

Until then, you are just wishing any of them can be as good as DDG.

So De Gea will start saving PK if he joins a Championship club?

The same De GEA Nigeria U17 destroyed during PK shootout in FIFA U17 world cup final?

He has been useless in PK since 2007.
This is like counting goals Mitrovic scored last season to put up an argument that he’s better than Salah.

Top division is the true test. Nobody cares about Henderson and this is why no top 6 side wanted him.

He belongs to newly promoted clubs and relegation bound clubs. That is his level.

Lol, you don't know what it feels like when a GK runs towards you with full speed grin grin

Charging towards an attacker and forcing them to make a quick decision while reducing the goal area is different from bn in no mans land.

FYI, Dean Henderson was voted man of the match.
Voted by whom? The same British racists.

Then you went on to show Henderson’s penalty stats when the save from Declan Rice was his 2nd time he’s saved a penalty in the PL.

The other saves were in league one, championship and under-19 competitions. cheesy

You people have no shame.

You want Henderson to stay on his line when a attacker was running straight down the middle. grin
At the edge of the 6 yard box.

School boy error for staying in no man’s land(around the penalty area). The striker took pity on him. Someone like Pirlo or Zidane would have dinked the ball over his head for pure humiliation.

It was the British passport that made him a nominee for Premier League young player of the year despite playing for relegation club - Sheffield United?

Rest, Henderson is far better than De Error in set pieces, distribution, sweeper role, and defence/area coordination.
Exactly. It was because he’s British that he even got nominated.

De Gea made PFA team of season when United finished 6th. You are talking about Henderson nomination that is done by a panel of British racists, I am talking PFA(voted by fellow professional footballers).

No kid in the world aspires to be Henderson. They all want to be De Gea, Courtois, Alisson.

He should back off in one V one situation, which will give the attacker time to think. Lol


Analyze the one he saved from Gordon....what would have happened if he had backed off ?
Mark Goldbridge was telling you if De Gea made the Henderson mistake leading to a goal, all you people would be cursing him for being a useless goalie.

You thought Goldbridge was praising Henderson? grin

He should have backed off to the edge of box 6 instead of committing himself like a bandit.

This was a similar situation last season between Martinez and Mane.

Look at Martinez’s starting position, see where he was when he made the save.

Elite goalkeeping.

Villareal are a La Liga club, top division.

Boro finished 7th in the championship last season. One would expect Henderson to make at least 5 saves out of 8 in a shootout.

Henderson made zero saves. He got bodied by part time burger flippers and plumbers. Yet, we can’t stop hearing how great he is.

Without a British passport, Henderson would be supplying newspapers to pensioners in Oldham. cheesy

His high claims (taking possession of crosses) in 3 games is already more than De Gea's last season total.

De Gea 8 in 38 games.

Henderson 9 in 3 games.

We have to bin Mr Reflex.
This is the same Henderson that couldn’t save a single Middlesbrough penalty shoot out last season after you told us he would have saved every shootout from Villareal at the Europa final.

This Henderson hype needs to stop. He’s a bum!

I won't say racism.

That guy can't stay fit to safe his life.. there is a reason Utd allowed Pogba went for free. His injury records was concern and the board still wanted to resign until ETH asked he shouldn't be resigned. Same ish with Bailly
He’s been fit for 6 months straight and I don’t think he’s started any game since then. If he has a British passport, there’s no way he gets treated like this.

SkySports panel were arguing this morning that should United have signed Declan Rice instead of Casemiro? Rice without a trophy in his career is being put in the same sentence as Casemiro? That’s the power of a British passport in the PL.


Is it true that United want Hakimi? If Murtough and Arnold get Hakimi, I would forgive every atrocity the Glazers have caused the club. I am even willing to forgive them for making Ole the manager.

Hakimi is possibly the best right back in the world.

And Dr. Jones is still at the club. SMH
What is happening to Bailly at Man Utd is tantamount to racism. He’s clearly the best defender suited to ETH’s methods.

Yet you have Maguire and Jones at the club. Chelsea should come and take Maguire. He would be suited to their low block, 3 at the back system.

You can't blame anybody who doubted the possibility of that deal. Almost everyone is dumbfounded that Casemiro will choose to come to this shit show from not just any club but MADRID.

I'm happy we got him but this one is an exception[a miracle] not the rule imo.
I gave you the Dybala/Wijnadalum examples but you were so keen to underrate United’s pull.

The £80m that brought Maguire to United could have also brought Ramos, Koulibaly, Thiago Silva, Chiellini, Bonucci or whoever but Ole(the useless fraud) chose Maguire instead.

Let’s not forget United brought in Pogba, Zlatan, Mkhitaryan with a Europa status in 2016. Footballers are mercenaries. Pay the right amount of money and you can have any player you want.

You are right.. just remembered all this. This midfield would've cooked though. Woodward was a pain
It would have super-cooked but Woodward and the Glazers are reactive, penny-pinching bastärds.

Their activity in transfer window is dependent on the results of the first few games before the transfer window.

If a manager wins very well then, they believe the team should be fine for the rest of the season. If the results are bad, they would quickly move to sign players.

The fans did this one sha. You think we'd go for this if there wasn't an huge protest incoming? Or you think Rabiot would be aheead of Casemiro in any tranfer list?
A lot of factors contributed to this.

The poor results infuriated the fans to remember the Glazers. If we had won the first two games with 4-0 each, the Glazers would have closed their wallet.

Veronique Rabiot also deserves special praise for putting her son’s wages near Ronaldo’s level. This action pissed off Murtough to enquire about Casemiro.

The planned #GlazersOut protest catalyzed by the poor results also got the board scampering around for good signings to appease the fans.

I am 100% sure there wouldn’t have been any protest had ETH won the first two games convincingly. United fans only ever remember the Glazers when the results don’t go well.

Mou opted for Matic.. SMS isn't even a DM. He's a white Pogba, a ball carrier like FDJ but with a little defensive strength.

ETH knows what he wants
Mourinho wanted a 3 man midfield of Pogba, Matic and Milinkovic-Savic. He personally went to watch Savic’s game to scout him.

He got Pogba in 2016
He got Matic in 2017
He begged for Savic in 2018 but Ed overruled the decision.

Ed signed Fred instead.

Ellexy, who’s the clown now?

JayKayMaybachz:
ETH idea was and is to get a CM and a CDM. Signing Frenkie wasn't the end of a CDM pursuit. He wants FDJ coz he's a good ball carrier. If we get him.. FDJ and Casemiro will play double pivot. Casemiro as the destroyer and FDJ as a ball carrier and progressor
If that’s the idea, we should erect a statue for ETH. He’s been able to solve what gave 3 different managers(Jose, Ole and Rangnick) a huge problem.

After Jose got Pogba in 2016, he knew that midfield still needed another maestro and he gave Woodward a list that contained Milinkovic-Savic. Woodward saw the list and threw it into the bin. He got a cheaper option(Fred) instead.

Casemiro is a dedicated destroyer. Something the team has been missing for so many years.

Correct, because I can bet that signing De jong to play in front of that leaky defense will end in premium tears.
De Jong isn’t a destroyer. I am not sure what Ten Hag saw that made him pursue De Jong for 3 months.

His defensive attributes are dirt poor, one of the lowest in Europe’s top 5. He’s a good passer of the ball and he can carry and progress the ball.

However, if there were to be a turnover, De Jong cannot do anything to stop the opposition and United’s defence is super weak.
