*thats who sancho is supposed to be.

Stay wide and do good

Cucurella Is a left back.

That’s what Shaw should be doing. We have Cavani and Ronaldo in the team now. I am shocked Ronaldo hasn’t scored from a cross yet.

Sancho isn’t a traditional winger that hugs the touch line to cross. He’s like Salah/Mane. They vacated that area for the left back by tucking in and doing the damage in the box.

Sancho will shine when Ole gets sacked, I have no doubt about it.

patrickmuf:
You watch Brighton and you begin to ask yourself whether they have better players than we do...

Cucurella is the player United think Shaw is.

Mrviktor:
He has been shit of late.
From corner.
From defending.
From attacking

He has been shit throughout the season.

He’s back to the shittiness that has plagued his entire United career.

Mrviktor:
Shaw is always foolish with his positioning..

His wing is always open

Shawberto Carlos.

The ‘Basterd’ has pooped his panties again. 2 points dropped against an Everton side without 6 of their best players.

50% win rate at Old Trafford under Ole in the PL.

Olesexuals see progress though.

elampiro:
So why did you want Sancho knowing he is British?

Because he’s a talented footballer. He went to Bundesliga to prove his mettle. 50 goals, 64 assists at Dortmund is an excellent return unlike the failure-DNA players you always love to back.

elampiro:
There is nothing like British hype. It is done all over the world. If you cam read Italian, Spanish, German you would see they also write about their football same way. How did we buy Herrera?

I can read in Italian, Spanish and German and they are all humble about their players. They are patient to let them win first before singing their praises unlike the British media.

What has Herrera gotta do with your useless overhyped British players? McTominay started again today, got destroyed by tier-C Everton midfielders. I guess he’s yet to recover from his injury. 12 months from now, we are going to be using his injuries as excuse for his incompetence.

elampiro:
Another strong reason to believe you are Coogar. How many more coincidence do I need?

Can you not discuss the player without blaming his British origin?

Like Shawberto Carlos, Dele Alli, Jack Wilshere(touted to be the only English player that can play for Barcelona), Welbeck(the African Pele), Andy Townsend(British Ronaldo), etc.

How many false dawns do you have to experience in your life to know the British media exaggerate the potentials of their players?

Have 2-3 good game spell as British and you get an automatic shirt in the national team. You people are media sheep. Swallow whatever nonsense the media serve you.

As for the coogar comparison, it’s your PTSD jumping out again. Maybe Roy Keane is also coogar for pointing this out recently on how people get easily carried away with British players. He knows you people are dumb.

elampiro:
It is not like that. What did Xavi achieved at 24? Or George Weah?

Xavi won La Liga at 19/20.

Weah was in Africa and he didn’t even leave for Europe until age 22. He won African footballer of the year at age 23.

Your boy is 24 and no one even considers him the best goalkeeper in Manchester, never mind the whole of Europe.

Any how you feel like rolling the dice on Henderson, the outcome would show you he’s a failure.

elampiro:
Illimitable, after you read the below, you will understand that coming from injury can sometimes take time for the player to hit match fitness. Check the highlighted and understand my line of argumemt
....

But O’Shea believes Fred does the dirty work that often goes under the radar and the role he plays allows McTominay to contribute in attack

‘Fred, numbers-wise in terms of what he does – the simple things, the unappreciated stuff – that’s the stuff that goes unnoticed,’ O’Shea told talkSPORT.

‘Scott, he bombs forward too, he gets goals.

‘Sometimes when the XI is announced and you see Fred and McTominay, people automically think it’s the two sitting in midfield – but Scott McTominay bombs forward a lot.

‘He gets forward. He’s not just a sitter, he’s more an all-round midfielder. He can defend as well.

‘Bearing in mind he’s just coming back from an operation, he’s going to get stronger and stronger.

Look, it’s that central midfield area where United have had amazing players through the years and they’ve got to live up to that reputation and be compared to that.

‘Ole has trust in them.’

And if Solskjaer’s pre-match comments are anything to go by, he’ll be sticking with his trusty midfield pairing.

‘First of all, the stats for those two together, we have had many good results,’ he said in his press conference.

‘The way we broke up play against Villa I think they are very instrumental together. The energy and desire. I really like to have the two of them. I can trust them to give us what they’ve got.

‘Fans will always have opinions, it is easy to say who should be playing.’

This is just rubbish to protect British players. No one gives such excuses when foreign players come back from injuries. They are instantly slaughtered by the same media and brushed aside.

British players get all manners of excuses laid at their doorsteps. McTominay has been delivering shit for 2 seasons straight. It’s got nothing to do with any injury.
He hides a lot in games. He constantly refuses to take the game by the scruff of the neck like Fletcher/JS park did for us.

Fletcher wasn’t the most skillful player but he covered his inadequacies with zeal and endeavor. Fletcher could run for 6 hours straight without tiring and he arrived late in the box to score clutch goals for United. McTominay is nowhere near that level.

Let’s call a spade a spade, McTominay is shit!

elampiro:
Until the other player is played for a long term, you never know who can be better. Until DDG improves his aerial ball ability (crosses, corners) I still will always be afraid. For now is at his best in reflexes which we know him for.

If Henderson is still doing understudy at the age of 24, you should know by now he’s never going to make it.

His biggest achievement till date is getting a promotion for Sunderland. Go to Wikipedia and see what DDG had achieved at 24.

elampiro:
You are talking about McTominay that is just returning from injury? As soon as Pogba left, McTominay started playing like a world-class player last night. The problem with you is that you think every analysis is a fight. I am trying to reason why Pogba looked to be the one who held us back for 70 minutes and we were dominated. Is it that he runs less and giving his co-midfielder too much to do? He might be covering much ground, but at what speed?

Returning from injury isn’t an excuse. He was fit enough to start -injury isn’t the reason why he was hiding against the part time carpenters of Aston Villa. He was just dirt poor. Stop making excuses for your favorites and starting an agenda against Pogba.

elampiro:
There is no Pogba agenda, we are judging what he played. We already have Ronaldo who is going to run less, we cannot afford to have another player running so little.

He played reasonably well. Everyone bar DDG was poor until the 60th minute. To pin it on Pogba is outrightly ridiculous.

I see you have quiet down on De Gea now - until he makes the next mistake and you bring your Henderson agenda here again. When they do well, you say nothing. When the performance is mediocre, your knives are out.

Do you still think Henderson should be ahead of DDG? Would Henderson have bailed United out like DDG has done in virtually every game he’s played this season? Can you now see form is temporary, class is permanent?

Can you now agree once and for all that you don’t know ball?

BARAJ92:
To be sincere, Mctominay and Fred are not good at protecting the defence, we need to play with 3 Midfielders that can both win the ball back and attack as well not just a DM.

Of course, they are not the gold standard. I can count about 5 elite DMs in the PL that do a better job than the total output of McFred. I have said it here time and time again that McFred does the job of one DM.

However, the two of them are the best we have got. Ole may be called stupid but he’s completely correct by playing McFred all the time. He doesn’t have a better combo. Their combo might struggle in ball progression but they offer the best defensive shield to the back 4.

BARAJ92:
Pogba or Bruno should be bench for Van de beek, let see how the team will fare with Mcfred and van de beek. We have Sancho, Greenwood, Fernandez, Pogba, Martial and Ronaldo who are ahead of Ziyech, Havertz, Lukaku, Mount, Werner, Pulisic in attacking play, yet chelshit just use 3 of them or 2 of them to play most of the time.

This is a good point but you know it’s never going to happen except it’s forced by a natural hazard(injury or suspension to either of Pogba/Bruno or injury to both).

Carabao Cup that ought to have given Ole the opportunity to experiment with his midfield combo, he has disgracefully left the competition because of his subzero IQ.

He should have played his strongest team against West Ham and hope to get a division 3 side in the next round and use such games to experiment and to give squad players some game time.

elampiro:
Are you sure? We did not play well until he left. We were chasing the ball around while Pogba was on the pitch. Villareal had plenty of spaces to pass us around in midfield.

How was your McTominay? Was he not on the pitch in the first 70 minutes? How did he fare?

Scratch that. McFred played against the part-time graveyard workers of Aston Villa on Saturday, how did they measure up? You said if we have those two in the midfield, we can never lose.

What was the outcome on Saturday. They were so shyte that you were embarrassed to come out after the loss. Pogba had one average game today and you are already outside with your Itshekiri wrapper ready to start a civil war against him.

elampiro:
I remember that I told you some of our best times were when Pogba was injured and out of the field. A player like Pogba should not be substituted if really he does well.

So one player is the reason United couldn’t keep the ball and were opened up time and time again in the first half. This Pogba agenda of yours is totally embarrassing. Instead of you to blame a manager that cannot organize a team or coach his players to be press-resistant, you are blaming Pogba for United’s woes?

Pogba played as LW on Saturday - your favorites were in the midfield and they were totally destroyed by the mighty Aston Villa. Where was your outrage then?

elampiro:
How was Pogba today?

Pogba played reasonably well.

The GOAT - never in doubt!!!!

Ronaldooooo

Joezinho:
Agreed. Mou’d walk the league with a squad full of experienced players and leaders and our defensive output would improve, and with the players we have the counter attacks would be glorious.

Ole is a doofus

This was exactly the kind of squad he demanded from Woodward, those lunatics said they don’t sign anyone older than 27.

Since then, they have signed Ronaldo, Varane, Ighalo, Heathon, etc. They have given new contracts to Mata, Matic, Lee Grant, etc.

Mrviktor:
Take Ronaldo off

With 1-1?

Joezinho:
Honestly, I'd rather have Mourinho with this team. No way he plays worse than Ole Gollum with these amazing players. Mou won Europa with Fellaini ffs..

I hope pogba is happy with ole and his shitty tactics. Karma is a biattchh..

If Jose had this team we would win the PL or one of the big trophies.

This is the best squad United have had in a long time. The CDM hole can be managed by any elite manager.

All the optimism that followed Ronaldo’s signing has been extinguished by this lunatic manager. No single United fan still believes Ole can win any trophy this season.

Even Gary Neville has given up with only 6 PL games in.

Joezinho:
You get the feeling that Ole Gollum the failure is happy with the draw and will come out and say "it's a good solid point at home to get off the mark in the group"

That’s the plan.

He already said it’s not a must win game.

RightDecision15:
Ole nah Bottler

Individual Brilliance FC.

No system, no pattern of play, no tactics, horrendous in-game management.

Joezinho:
We are wasting the best team we've had in years under Ole.

He’s the worst manager on the planet.

United have conceded a goal in every game but the Wolves game.

Ole about to lose 3 games in a row.

A record that dates back to 1974.

Don’t worry lads, Olesexuals see progress.

larride:
Do you guys still want us to sell DDG?

Henderson would have conceded at least 5 goals by now.

This is the DDG some people want that Henderson bum to replace.

This is why Ole plays Fred.

Whenever you leave him out, this is what happens to the defence. Love him or hate him, Fred is a hardworking lunatic that gives his all to the team. He’s not very good at passing the ball but he is one of the best at interceptions and closing passing lanes.

CapitalCee:
Mourinho is a bastard. He saw Idrissa Gueye, but no he went and bought Fred.

Oooops!!!

TLona1:
You're just saying nonsense.

Shebi Xavi and Iniesta also played for Argentina when Messi won the following:

Copa America.
Copa America best player (3X).
Copa America highest assister (2X)
Copa America highest goalscorer and
World Cup MVP

Right?

Don't forget that Ronaldo has never been the best player in any international tournament even with his 1000000 international goals .

One trophy for the national team since 2005.

CONMEBOL had to be bribed heavily to keep hosting the event every year to give Messi a chance of winning it.

We are talking European championship and you bring COPA America to the discourse. A competition of 3 or 4 good teams with Brazil as the only obstacle for Argentina.

Mere mortals like Uruguay and Chile won it under Messi’s nose but he’s suddenly great because he finally won one this year.

Ronaldo has to face France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Croatia, etc every 4 years to have a chance of winning with his country.

Copa America is a worse competition than Nations Cup in the continent of Africa. A competition of 10 teams is no competition. If Ronaldo was born an Argentinian, he would have won it 5 times by now.

Ronaldo is the GOAT.

patrickmuf:
Well, let's leave it here, Ronaldo is your GOAT while Messi is mine.

Hahahahaha.

Patrick don run.

And before you say Messi was the reason those two midfielders were that high up, let it be known those duo won big trophies for Spain without Messi between 2008-2012.

It’s almost as if Messi actually needed them than they ever needed Messi. At no point in Ronaldo’s career has he ever had this level of brilliant players around him.

This is 2010 & 2011 Ballon d’Or Rankings. Barcelona boys dominated it again and again.

patrickmuf:
From the game today, did you see any sequence of play that suggested Ronaldo would have scored a hattrick of goals? Who will create the chances for him? Neymar that wants to be the star of the show or Mbappe that is himself struggling to score?

All those crosses coming from the flanks would find Ronaldo.

Verratti, Herrera will find Ronaldo.

Hell, he’s scored 4 goals playing with McFred. Imagine how many he would get with proper technical players like the PSG boys.

patrickmuf:
Modric, Ramos, Kroos, Casillas, Ozil, Di Maria, James Rodriguez, Bale, Benzema, Marcelo, Varane, Vidic, Van Der Sar, Scholes, Evra were world class...

They really aren’t. They are good players, they aren’t top of the shelf.

Attached is the Ballon d’Or rankings in 2009.

I dare you to find any season of ballon d’Or top 5 ranking where Ronaldo’s team mates dominated the list like this one.

patrickmuf:
Modric won it...

The thing is that whilst the trio look fantastic on paper, they're not quite of the same wavelength on the pitch...Before Messi's goals tonight, he had tried that move severally but Mbappe will rather attempt to take on many players and lose the ball. Too many big egos in that attack and it's hampering the team.

No matter how bad their wavelength is, it can’t be as bad as playing next to Greenwood and Sancho. Neymar is Neymar, Mbappe is Mbappe.

Should we add the trophies won on both sides of the coin and tabulate? If Ronaldo had Mbappe/Neymar against Villa or Young Boys, he would get a hat trick in both games.

patrickmuf:
Ronaldo had Scholes, Giggs, Rooney, Tevez, Vidic, Ferdinand, Evra and others when he produce those numbers...With such quality, Messi will do same or even more...

As of now, we still have Bruno, Pogba, Sancho, Cavani, Varane, Shaw etc...

These are tier B players.

None of them compares to the quality Messi had at Barcelona.

You are comparing Rooney and Tevez to someone that has had Ronaldinho, Etoo, David Villa, Suarez, etc as team mates.

The level at Barcelona was always higher.
