David De Gea: “28 unbeaten games away from home, it is something difficult to make, but now it is time to fight for titles not records."

DDG should be United’s captain. I hope Ole doesn’t bench him after this latest remark.

Hmmm

Karleb:
I might be mistaken but you were never excited about Sancho's acquisition.

I wasn't convinced he was worth the €120m fee Dortmund was asking last season. He went to the Euros and didn't get game, that didn't sit well with me cos na that turnament i for really watch him game. I never hated Sancho, Never! Dortmund are well known for scamming other club by demanding crazy fees for mostly average players. Barcelona signed Dembele for crazy fee, we signed Kagawa and Miki too, we know how they all faired..

Amad injured!

Loan deal off!!

The pressing as a unit has always been an issue with us. We have a mediocre PPDA in the league and it’s kind of confusing because Ole vowed no team in the league would ever outwork his team - even on their bad day.

Wetin be PPDA abeg?

Wont trade AWB for any RB in the world

Passes Per Defensive Action.

It’s a metric that measures how many passes a team allows the opposition to make before attempting to win the ball back with a defensive action, such as a tackle, interception, or clearance.

With Ronaldo in the team and waiting for crosses in the box, I feel AWB’s days are numbered. Ronaldo is going to demand crosses which AWB seems unable to make.

Dalot, on the other hand, is a cross addict.

Fred ain't a DM...... Fred ain't a fuckin DM .......... but he's good CM.

If at all we gonna play Fred and Pogba pivot, we need to discuss Bruno.

Oasis007:
David Moyes will be meeting with Jesse Lingard this evening. The topic of conversation is unknown but there is a scenario where Lingard returns on loan to West Ham possibly after signing a new Manchester United contract.

Ole should sell Lingard and James. If he sells them tonight to raise funds to get a DM. At this point, I wouldn’t even mind signing Yves Bissouma to screen the back 4.

Aswear.

Leeds United are open to a loan move or even a permanent deal for Daniel James, who Manchester United value at in excess of £20m.

- Adam Crafton

Direct Swap please..... jez take Kevin Phillips. Kalaz.

Leeds £20m? They can have him. I would personally drive James from Cheshire to Leeds tonight for that fee.

Lingard for £30m is also a welcome development. £50m should be able to get Bissouma or even Casemiro.

Casemiro would love to play with Varane and Ronaldo.

You don't rate Kevin?

But that's what people here are clamouring for na. Check oasis's line up

Lmao, setups people dey bring here dey make me question weda they watch Man Utd games

Kalvin Phillips? He’s better than what we have without a doubt but he’s not a top of the shelf DM.

Ndidi, Casemiro, Bissouma are all better.

I will be happy if we get him though. Anything better than McFred is fine.

I genuinely feel for Fred. Fred is a very hardworking, honest midfielder who gives everything on the pitch.

It’s just that his talent isn’t enough for what is required. He tries so hard, puts himself about by being super active but his effort is never enough.

Segedinho:
It matters cos d defence was actually poor..

Wolves was so unlucky and destined to loose.

Varane was no where to be found when bisaka rescued d ball from a goal bound.

He was subdued in the air for de gea masterclass..

Don't mind them. The way they hype one player for another em

Ole is not on same level as Pep, Klopp, Tuchel and these aforementioned coaches have top class teams.

I read that Tuche started coaching in year 2000. What was his record for this first 16 or 17 years?

a win and a clean sheet.
good for confidence of all departments.

good baptism for Varane. he coped better with the physicality than I expected. he's going to massive for us.
Sancho found the game too physical. he was quite mobile and showed up for the ball. he's sure to adjust with more minutes.

No matter what year he started coaching, he's definitely better than Ole..

Bombblacks:
Because last week they complained about Matic and Fred. This week Pogba and Fred. We already know Mctominay and Fred is a no go area. What other combination is available I don't know.

Is the best combination among the three you listed based on current players available. We would never have been so bullied today if we played Mctominay along side Fred. The problem is that Pogba and Matic cover less ground. If they fall deep, they remain in that deep zone. But McTominay and Fred cover so much ground on high speed and they know how to protect each other. The only problem is that with the quality of forward players, we cannot keep playing the two. So the coach tried to fit Pogba in the CM to start creating many free positions up field for the rest players. But this will not work because Pogba has little off the ball work rate as well as a slow player on the ball

Ruben Neves incoming?

patrickmuf:
They're cracks in our set up, so wide that a DM might not fix all of it. Ole has to find a system to accommodate the attacking talents at his disposal whilst remaining compact at the back.

I think the rest of the team and coach should have the trust that whoever is playing DM, has the ability to do the job. It's when Pogba decided to shift to final third and Fred was left alone that we began to play well in the last quarter of the game. If Pogba had remained there with Fred, not trusting him to do well by himself, we would not have won.

Adama went past Fred sometimes like he wasn't even there, but I think he coped well with the pace of the game overall considering he's a smallish guy.
if only he has better passing range, he'd be far better than he appears right now.
funny he sees the openings between the lines but no execution. the more he makes the inaccurate pass, the lesser his confidence to try the next one.

Karleb:
Toor.

I think I'm the only one who think we missed Herrera a lot.

Herrera is everything we need in a DM. So sad the board and Ole did little to keep him.

How is Herrera a DM? Herrera is a dirty job man. He is a CM who does well taking out the opposition best midfielder. But for him to stand on his own as a DM, I doubt him

I ask about his record for his first 16 years. lol
