To be beaten is different from that kind of beating we got thats why I said, had it been na rotation caused it I will understand that and maybe probably blame him for not starting the first eleven ๐Ÿ˜‚ Man city, Newcastle and Arsenal has form more than Liverpool but we werenโ€™t defeated with 7goals to zero. Like I said we move already

hahahah

but haven't you noticed oga ETH likes big beatings? ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜‚

Weโ€™ve been battling that fatigue problem since Arsenal and weโ€™ve been getting away with it due to the poor quality of our opponents.

The defeat. It was a long time coming.

Na because of fatigue make Liverpool beat us walahi. We looked lethargic and tired. Their physicality helped them.

Before that match West Ham would have beaten us if they had taken all their chances.
It just wasn't West Ham's time to beat Man U.

Do you know how many chances Liverpool had and almost all of them went in! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ cheesy

Ten Hag really bleeped us up in that match. Had it been he rested some players and used dem Pellistri, Garnacho, Maino,Tominay I would understand but strong line up, playing dem out of position and we still got defeated 7-0 is too bad

I don't think ETH or the boys should be blamed for that loss.

It's just the tail end of random distribution.
No matter how prepared you are, life is still the boss...

You either win/lose few games in between matches, with fewer goals OR
Go on a long winning streak but your loss will be so ridiculous Or
Go on long losing streak but win ridiculous games out of no where

Remember Everton beating Arsenal by 4:0? undecided
Arsenal is even in a way better form that Man U.

Man U is not in top form. The wins are just life rewarding the team's hard work.

We still make too many mistakes. If any team can capitalize on that, we will be punished.
How about our conversion rate? still very low.

That is why I am happy for ETH and the boys.
If we can produce this kind of results now, it will be glorious when:

- the right players are brought it,
- our mistakes reduces drastically
- conversion rate goes up

That is how I feel though, I might be wrong. What do I know?! undecided lipsrsealed

cheesy I like how your delusional brain worked in this second post, btter than the first one. I can't argue too much because you made valid points too.

However........the argument that a child didn't ask to be born and as such doesn't owe his parents anything, is bullshit and more shit. It doesn't hold sway with me. Meaning no offence to you, but to the general idea behind that theory.

Granted, we didn't ask to be born but now that we are here, alive and well, enjoying good times, facing bad times but conquering, making and spending money, taking ice cream, straffing and TLCing, are we glad to experience this earthly life or not?

If you even have or had good parents who did right and did well by you, provided comfort and wonderful life experiences to the best of their ability, that bullshit ideology should not be found anywhere near you or in your vocabulary. I'm speaking generally and not specifically to you.



hahahah,
now Klass99 you are being sentimental and emotional. Relax grin grin

Don't worry I don't take it personal, my delusional brain always knows it is wrong and ready to learn.
But you have to have make an argument Klass, no sentiment/emotion/blackmail. grin

My assertion, that you don't owe your Parents anything does not mean you should not take care of them when you are in the position to do that.
My delusional brain is only saying do good not from an obligatory point of view. No guilt trip.

Whether you have a good or bad Parents, both desire to be loved when it's in your power.
It has nothing to do with what they did for you or didn't do.

If you are going to be a kind person, be kind irrespective of what anyone did or didn't do.

The whole world is a small family. kiss

Question Klass: what if someone had a terrible Parents, should that Parents not be loved and cared for as well?
- yes or no, what is your rational behind that?

Remember no emotion/sentiment; my delusional brain wants to learn.
Thanks

I am smiling and shaking my head, thank goodness you already know you have a delusional brain ๐Ÿคฃ.

Relationships are a two way steeet, for them to work nicely, be mutually beneficial and mutually satisfactory, there has to be give and take, there has to be reciprocity.

In my own mind and brain, parents owe children a duty of care and responsibility, children also owe parents the same thing, especially in old age, when a parent's youth and strength are gone.

An employer owes an employee the duty of reliably paying his salary, as and when due. An employee owes an employer the duty of showing up on time, doing diligent and excellent work, and not screwing around on social media on company time.

Now, before you or anyone else calls me out on my first post or second paragraph here, let's be clear that the OP has offered to fix/repair her mom's house. She is reciprocating care and responsibility, meaning she knows she owes her mother a duty of care and is trying to do right by her mother.

However, her mother wants to forcefully have her way and dictate how OP should fulfill her duty/responsibility, which I have an issue with. She must not move in with the OP before it is said the daughter cares or is responsible.


hahahah,

You made solid points. grin
Let me flip them a bit; lipsrsealed

For Relationships to be a two way street; there has to be some sort of mutual agreement, right?

For employer and employee; there is a mutual agreement bidding them.

At what point did any kid agree to be born to a certain family? lipsrsealed

Two adults do the do, boom, a kid is here. Where is the agreement that the kids wants to be from that family? cheesy grin
--------
- Against old age:

Klass99, are children hedges against an adult's poorly lived life?
- what about adults that do not have kids but lived a lovely life, well loved by so many, that at age old they have too many people taking care of them?
- the world is a small family, why constrain your old age to a select few?
- and must someone come from you directly to be called your child?

The argument that you need to have kids so they can take of of you at old age is a bogus argument lipsrsealed
- most kids (now adults) send money to their aged Parents (the good kids/adult). Which a stranger collects and acts as caregiver.
- What about the adults that don't send anything to their Parents?

Maybe we should just say Kids are part of our retirement plan. Some will pay, some won't lipsrsealed undecided ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ.

Just be a lovely human being jare, you will have too much people to take care of you at old age.

At the bolded, seven blessings to you! Stay on this path and do you, to your heart's content. Your life is yours to build, it is not for others (or your mother in particular) to steer in whatever direction they want or she wants.

You already know she is troublesome and she will mess with your peace of mind, so please put distance between the both of you. Don't let her or anyone else guilt trip you, emotionally or spiritually blackmail you into housing her, with their theories of blood is thicker than water, family is everything or this is your mother she carried you for 9 months, did ABC and XYZ for you..........

She made a choice to birth you, she owed you a duty of care and she had a responsibility towards you as her child. So, there is nothing unique or special about what she did, it is the primary responsibility of every parent. If I were you I will insist on fixing her house or renting her an affordable place, but there is no way she will move in with me when she is not sick or dying.

Klass99,

From an empowering point of view, I think nobody owes anyone duty of care and responsibility, including the Parents.

Believing my Parents owe me duty of care and responsibility means;
- when they fail to do this, there is a reason for me to hold grudges against them. Therefore I won't spoil them when I can.
OR
- when they do, I am now constrained/obligated to help them in return even at my detriment.

Now, one argument against will be: how can a child take care of himself?
- Life will do that through strangers, organizations, etc

In summary;
- you don't owe anybody anything. But whenever you are in a position to bless others do that wholeheartedly, expecting nothing in return.

Whatever a man sows, so he shall reap.
It does not say where ever a man sows...Life determines the where.

de Gea made a couple of crazy saves. I'm not sure Heaton could have done that.

DDG on his good days makes superb saves.
It will be difficult to replicate that with another keeper at the moment.

And the team still makes silly mistakes, which means the keeper is still a huge part of Man U's success for now.
Once we get to that stage where little contribution is required from the keeper, rotation will be great.

Meanwhile, has anyone noticed DDG has started taking baby steps playing from the back. grin

I am not against criticism but when you say harsh criticism is always justified, thatโ€™s where I disagree.

Criticism especially for young players should always be measured. You should not tackle teenage players the way you would adult men with years of experience and psychological development.

For one, more should be expected from a senior player compared to an academy age player.
Secondly, the adult player is more likely to withstand such criticism than a young player whose mates are still playing Under-18 football.

The aim of criticism is to improve players not crush them. If you give our other young players (not named Garnacho) the McFred treatment most of them will crumble.
Good points.

The question is what happens if he gets injured or suspended?
Isn't it same keepers he is refusing to field for small matches now that will have to step up.
My point is the other keepers should be given a chance.

You have a great point there, but what if ETH feels the other keepers are not yet what he wants?

I think giving Maguire and Elanga play time shows ETH gives anyone committed (at least to his taste) chance.

Fans criticise Dan James, Elanga, McTom, Perreira, Maguire taya. You think say dey no wan improve?

Garnacho is 18. Most of his age mates across the country are not smelling first team in the top sides.

He is actually ahead of schedule but he will still make more mistakes now and again.

Let his team mates and coaches give him harsh criticism in their controlled settings.

Luckily the boy has nerves of steel, because harsh criticism from fans does nothing but crush the confidence of youth/young players.

Afrodoc2, I said Okay to your previous comment because looking at it from one side of the view you are right.

Maybe Garnacho's style of play would have improve with or without the criticism. True that.

But that does not mean if he has another terrible day I won't criticize him. grin

Anyone that does poorly should be criticized.

There is no exception to this rule sir.

At least that's how my delusional brain thinks. You may differ sir.

Dey whine yourself.

Garnacho is not improving because of fan criticism.

He is improving because he is an 18yr old extremely talented player with a high ceiling who has a very good coaching staff and is playing with quality senior players.

He was always going to improve with or without your criticism. This is why the fan criticism was unwarranted.

If Weghorst actually gets into his good days, he might score more goals than Rashford.

Where is this my foolish assumption from? shocked shocked

Well, couple of games back, over a year or so...Rashford was more terrible than this Weghorst.
Rashford finally progressed into his too many shots but zero or little conversion rate.
Now Rashford is in his better conversion rate period.
Nothing has changed, he still shots all the time but the conversion is better now.
If he continues on this path, he will achieve high conversion rate. cool cool

All that being said, Rashford can not press or attack like Weghorst does.

So if Weghorst eventually progresses into his better conversion period, we might all fall in love with him. kiss

But the big question is; when will this happen? Is it in Man U, under ETH??

Well that is unknowable, only time will tell. After all, beginning of this season I was among those that already wrote Rashford off. undecided lipsrsealed
