eph12: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. ![]()
|
melodyogonna: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. |
Leyqute:Gold standard pass. Tripper red card. KDB would start picking more passes now for fun. |
eph12: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. |
Expert17:Where was Gordon’s save that you were waxing lyrical about yesterday? Was it in the middle? ![]() You cannot be moving goalposts as it suits. |
eph12: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. |
Expert17: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. ![]()
|
nitrogen: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. |
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. |
TrebleChamp:Nothing changes until Maguire is sold or benched. |
Expert17: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. |
Expert17: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. |
Expert17: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. ![]() You people have no shame. |
Expert17: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. |
Expert17: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. |
Expert17: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? ![]() |
Expert17:Of course, he’s better ![]() When will Henderson step on this stage though?
|
Expert17: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.
|
typicalgamer:If he’s not on a younger De Gea level, why is he even in a conversation with DDG? Did you see the goal he conceded today? |
Expert17: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. ![]() |
Expert17: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! |
JayKayMaybachz: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. |
Expert17: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. |
Ellexy: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. |
patrickmuf:I am sure there are better wingers in Europe. The price I am seeing is ridiculous. €100m for Antony? Is Serge Gnabry dead? |
JayKayMaybachz: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. |
ChristoBam: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. |
JayKayMaybachz: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:Ellexy, who’s the clown now? JayKayMaybachz: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.
|
Expert17: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.
