elampiro:


I disagree with some things. Gaal was our best after SAF but he mismanaged Di Maria. Di Maria began on a brilliant note with great individual play and sexy goals and Assists. But Gaal was too poor to spot that Blind was too weak and slow to play the DM behind Di Maria. So when we lost badly to Leicester, Gaal changed Di Maria position from left midfield diamond (where he excelled in Madrid) to left winger. He killed him. Di Maria despite being sent to the benched was still among the highest on Assists.

I agree he mismanaged di maria.

Rooney deserved to start, forget newspaper criticism. He was better than Falcao, Mata even Mkhitaryan under Mourinho. Some good counter attacking play happened because he was involved. He and Di Maria did some. Rooney was still number 9 during the time we played our best football since Ferguson. When Gaal played 4-1-4-1, his movement was good for the four players behind him (Young, Fellaini, Herrera and Mata

Rooney deserved to start in Van gaals 1st season, but the 2nd season he was sh!t, and i agree we played our best football under Van gaal in his 1st season.

What have we done since Rooney left? Nothing except getting worse and players losing playing sense. Mkhitaryan, Mata, Lingard that 'Rooney was an obstacle' to their place could not deliver when given Rooney was gone

we finished 2nd and reached the FA cup final.

raumdeuter:
Hazard cannot even control the ball without handling it

His confidence is nonexistent. him the even fear to do him famous shakushaku.

Well OGS should get him and turn him to the black Tom Cleverly.

chidexxy007:

He wanted to bolster the defence that conceded joint least just the season b4

The irony considering "Mr attacking football and UTD DNA" went ahead and purchase not one but two defenders and sold some of his attackers.

Quite a suprise we now struggle to score more than a goal against the mighty Astana and Rochdale

Lana1:
So a manager that just guided his team to a 2nd place finish was unable to finish 2nd again with the same set of players because dem no buy player for am? Sounds like more excuses to me.

yea right, Klopp almost finished 7th with people he used to reach CL final.. yea right excuses. Fergie went out of the cl group stage with people he used to reach CL final but you know... Excuses.

Lana1:

The bolded is just an excuse you people tell yourselves so you can feel good about dragging OGS. Like we've never seen OGS trying to implement a high press abi??

Fact is all that one is just story. I've never believed in it. If the players are good enough, and the manager is up to it, then the team is half there. But at United, the players are shít and the manager is inept.

I'm not saying we should blame OGS at all. But the players should be blamed equally

So what's happening at Chelsea? Barca? Inter? Bayern? No be only High press! Next time you go still come hear the Curse OGS. you do am last week you go still do am next week.

lordfalcao:
We are not even half to the season and KDB is already on 9 assists..


Valuable asset to any team

Hazard to drop a masterclass tonight

Lana1:
Ok.
What happened the season after Mourinho finished 2nd?

The board refused to back him, and jose lost it, trying to prove a point to the board by playing Herrera and Mctomanay as Center backs.

Benching and trying to turn our fans against our best player and disrupting the dressing room.

It wasn't rocket science to know that he was looking for his paycheck.

Lana1:
Ok. We fit exclude Moyes.

Of all the players in the team now, Young, Jones, Martial, Lingard and to some extent Rashford were mainstays in LVG's second season. What did he achieve with them?
What happened the season after Mourinho finished 2nd?

Jones wasn't 1st team injury no go even allow that one play, Rashford martial and to some extent lingard were brilliant under van gaal, he didn't use young that much since he bought Memphis.

the above mentioned players wasn't the reason he failed as they enjoyed brilliant individual campaigns. most of his signings were huge disappointments that even we fans didn't see coming. Schnerderlin darmian bastian Memphis di maria, injury upon injury and his stubbornness with "My captain must play"

He did have a style of play albeit boring, but you could see what he's trying to implement, something that is nonexistent under OGS.

Emilio Alvarez joined Utd in 2016 and is a close friend of David De Gea, having worked with him at Atletico Madrid.

Dis one don see say OGS na afo anu.

Leyqute:


How did we beat Chelsea and Leicester at home this season? Was that bus parking?

I’m tired of talking to people like you. Interacting with you lowers one’s IQ.

shurup ur mouth! talking about "low IQ ones" Lol, you clearly need a mirror.

Chelsea and Leicester were fluke results. only a pillock will think otherwise.

Lana1:
4 managers have struggled with these same set of players. At what point do we really begin to scrutinize the players and see that not all the problem is from the manager?

Yes. These players can make top 4.....only if they decide to have sense and start playing well, taktiks or not.



There's plenty of blame to go around for both the manager and players.

dis is false. Moyes didn't manage any of our current attackers or midfleders, infact only de gea was a regular under Moyes, Martial, young Ddg and Rashford were class under van gaal. van gaal didn't manage any of our current 1st team midfielders or defenders, only shaw and Shaw's best run was under Van gaal b4 his injury.


Our current manager is garbage! Jose won three trophies with dis guyz and finished 2nd in the league, Van gaal made top 4 and won the FA cup, I can bet you that OGS won't manage to win anything and also won't make top 4.

Leyqute:


I mean counter attack, you turd.

Lol, at home against arsenal and we're packing the bus, who come the arsenal again? even mourniho no do dis one.

Leyqute:


No till Monday anything. Everyone agrees we're building and need more than one position to fill.

We may cede possession to Arsenal on Monday and win. If we don't win you are free to come here and moan. Nothing do you.

you mean park the bus?

timay:


Well said bro.

If Lindelof can improve, and everyone now sees him as our best defender, I see no reason why other won't step up .

so far in the pre season, the attitude of the players have improved. And the attitude is what matters, because individually , those guys are good, they just need the right attitude to be winners

Lol, dis one say na attitude, Attitude FC.

footiemaniac:
I don't know why people think making wholesale changes to a squad in one transfer window will have any positive impact . Even when we were far behind Arsenal unbeaten squad and Jose Mourniho's chelsea with Roy Keane's wahala, fergie did not go out and buy 7 players at a go. He signed Ji-sung Park and Van der sar in the summer of 05/06 and Evra,Vidic jan transfer window, then only Michael Carrick the next season to win the league ahead of that strong Mourinho's chelsea.

Only one or two major signings(Alison and van dijk) can make a huge impact in a team,ask Liverpool. I understand the pessimism because the major signings we have made so far is defensive and not the blistering big name wingers that will excite fans. After all the excitement in signing offensive players in Di Maria,Falcoa, Sanchez,Depay etc what did we get in return?

We have talents in our squad, the coaches are there to bring out the best in those group of players, that is what they get paid for, not to start giving them 6-7 brand new players every summer. Who is to say the players we have been asking the club to sign will settle quickly and be better than what we already have. If Lindelöf can improve and now making every fans proposed 1st team line up, don't see why the rest can't improve this season.

I remember last season, how fans were celebrating buying a solid Brazilian midfielder (FRED),not british midfielder oo, under the nose of Mancity. Now, I cannot even see Fred name in any of your line up, everywhere is now McTominay our home grown talent that was given a chance. Now i am even seeing bruno fernandes that we have not even signed on our line up.The management team has backed Ole so far, if he fails no excuse from him or me.

If Liverpool can win Champions league with a midfield of Henderson,Wijnaldum, Fabinho , Milner,I don't see why we cannot compete with a Midfield of Pogba, Fred,McTominay ,Matic, Perreira if they all work hard for each other.

The way dis guy take disappear like the fart of a leprous witch eh...

Pep’s village people work for him, not against him.
He dodged a bullet with him, same way he dodged a bullet with Alexis Sanchez.

Fred’s problems have nothing to do with our play.
His ball control is not clean enough and he does not shield the ball well.
He is lightweight physically and gets pushed off the ball often without the ref coming to his rescue.
He becomes jittery when the opposition presses him and is a liability in our half.

As a senior member of the team, costing 50m and coming in with the reputation of a Brazilian international he has been a disgrace. I would not say disappointment cos i never really expected much from him.

Bros you no the fear o, 50mil na en you finish like dis?

FBS:
^^^
Absolutely. Said it here before. Ole parking the bus all day everyday, only difference Ole is winning. i.e the business end of things in football taken care of. EOD. Can't fault it really.

#Throwback

6900 i waz here!

eph12:

Nah City vs Barca

if dis fixture happen, i'll bet my life savings on city to come out on top, it won't happen though cuz barca go comot 2nite.

eph12:

Same players that have been given new contracts? Even Young has extended his contract

Lol, guyman no even know wetin de happen.

eph12:

Verrati didn't do it alone na. Everyone did their part in winning balls back. If only we had the midfielders, we should have loaded that middle and leave the likes of Martial to enter later in the game. Midfield is king in today's ball and for now they're still finding their feet after the horrible Mourinho disaster class

Ole should've used Herrera on Verrati.

my thoughts though.

Now we need beat Chesea wella.

The 2nd goal though, that's why I prefer smalling, that wouldn't have happened on his watch.


ole shaa was schooled.

raumdeuter:
Is it true that Man City are yet to win a game they didnt score in the first half?

Lol, I don't know why you're worrying yourself, Manchester city will win the league and the CL if united fumbles.

just ready my own $$

Lol, una die well tonight

HanksAnuku:
thunder go fire Coogar for lying that PL player of the month is not voted for.

Lol, hanks anuku wtf!

Lukaku just needs to hit top form and everything will come into place for us.

Dalot was good, Martial had a good game. Fellaini for all his critics plays like he gives a feck.
But overall, somebody just shoot me.
