CM and striker is a must for ETH. It would be madness to not push the club to get at least one of those in January

Jodera:
This Europa group stage is the best and perfect time to integrate a youngster that can play that role Eriksen is playing.

Still 4 more matches to go sha, but if ETH can't get a direct deputy with all the talents you guy's academy have churned out with these remaining games, then I dunno how next they might want to make that step up

Illimitable:
£70m has been budgeted for ETH in January. It could be more if he can get some players sold in the January window.

at this stage of the competition, the aim is to qualify as easily as possible. seeing off Sherrif while barely on second gear must have been exactly how Ten Hag had hoped.
game management is crucial. our squad is short on both numbers and quality. we are barely 16-man strong for such a congested season, many people don't understand that.
there will be many games that will require energy to execute.

eph12:
It's games like this that we should be playing the youngsters. How will the youngsters come in and get good game time if the senior players have not made sure to destroy any hope of a come back? If the team is leading 3-5 goals at 60 minutes, won't the coach be able to bring in 5 fringe players at once to ease the pressure on his 16-man strong players?

superfelix:
i want to believe if qualification have been secured; lemme say Match Day 4-5, he'll get to field these youngsters. as a new coach, i don't think he would want to risk anything at this stage, hence why he's playing his strongest XI

Karleb:
Youngsters should go on loan. We mean business with every game now.

Stop dreaming.

Release clause is a valid excuse not to sign Haaland.




Bowen and Grealish ahead of Sancho is just racism. Bowen and Grealish haven’t scored a goal this season and yet they made the squad.

Maguire and Shaw should be nowhere the squad too. This is why England fail in every international competition. I am sure there are people upstairs who make the selection.

Southgate is a figure head.

Citylifeboi:
Everything is not always about racism and British passport like you always like shouting bro, what about Saka, Abraham, James, Bellingham, Ivan Toney and Sterling that have been called up, truth is Maguire has not had a bad game for England forget about his performance in shitty United same with Shaw, Bowen is good seems you don't watch West ham games, Rashford is injured and Sancho is still not convincing

Leyqute:
Sancho should’ve been invited. He’s in better form and has had better performances than a lot of those who were called up.

LostMyZeal:
Oga leave talk. No be news say some of una here dey rejoice over him goal draught abeg

Including you

Say I dey shameless

It doesn't take meeting face-to-face to sniff hypocrisy yunno

Except na cruise you dey catch sha

You wey hate our goal machine

Illimitable:
Haaland dumping shit on people who think a striker has to touch the ball 1000 times in 90 minutes.

Erling is fast becoming my favorite player in Europe.

TrebleChamp:
Ronaldo haters should have killed Haaland if he joined, they don't like a striker who doesn't press bress ....

Citylifeboi:
Alot of those? Hmm are you sure about that? apart from Grealish which other forward in the list is he in better form than? Don't get me wrong Sancho is good but still struggles most times to beat his man maybe it has to do with United not dominating teams enough sha

afrodoc2:
Haaland is an anomaly. Any team would make allowances for his lack of pressing. Even Pep the press secretary sef no mind am.

Do you know what it is to be averaging a goal a game for Norway?

Apart from the strikers who played for Norway before the 2nd World War every other top striker averaged between 1 in 5 and 1 in 3.

If Ronaldo was prime Ronaldo nobody would be complaining about pressing or lack of pressing. However you can't be firing blanks/playing poorly and also not pressing as well. That is the definition of an orogbo striker. And you know i am not a Ronaldo hater.

Jodera:
From Oct to November where all Europa group stages is to be completed, there's football every Thurs , meaning Man u will be playing Thursday and Sunday football on a weekly basis till world cup.

I don't see the perfect time to give any youngster opportunity if not during those Thur matches except he wants to run Eriksen to the ground. Man u can't afford to be playing their strongest lineup every Thurs and Sunday, how much more Eriksen.

And when I mean youngsters, I don't mean up to 3-4 oo, but at least one especially if that one is for Eriksen deputy. It's not as if there isn't
a ready talent in academy for that position

TrebleChamp:
Haaland would have struggled at United last season Doc, and people will accuse him of being lazy, not linking up play and of course doesn't press. I know how some United fans a.k.a Ronaldo haters reason on this board, Haaland will collect wotowoto. As for the bolded, let me investigate it fess

afrodoc2:
There is no way Haaland would have struggled when Ronaldo scored 18 goals in 30 games. At this point in their careers Haaland is the deadlier striker. Not taking anything away from Ronaldo who is all time great and has paid his dues. It is modafukingly what it is.

Haaland that averaged a goal a game in Europe while playing for Molde and Red Bull Salzburg? The concept of Haaland struggling is unknown to man.

TrebleChamp:
Looking at how United played last season, i believe Haaland would have struggled to score many goals. The supply from fullbacks and wingers was very poor last season, plus also having a horrible midfield combo of Pogba/McFred and a horrible defence as teammates. Haaland is a goal machine, but would press press advocates allow him stay inside the box patiently waiting his chance to score?

So, Ronaldo took the ball from our half and dribbled his way through the opposition to score 18 goals?

Doc is telling you that for Ronaldo to score 18 goals, Haaland would most likely have scored even more...

Stop calling everyone who criticizes Ronaldo a hater, it just doesn't make sense...Rooney did more for Man Utd yet he was criticized here when he was playing poorly so, why not Ronaldo? Even now, you guys never hold back when other players are involved but once it's Ronaldo, we should all turn a blind eye...Bros, no be so oh!

TrebleChamp:
Patrick you are one of the many that would criticise him at United. Ronaldo scored 24 goals last season, yet you and some still find fault in his game and even accuse him of bit letting others score. Una go complain about some aspect of Haaland's game no matter how many goals he scores.

Trevor012:
Good football? What good football are you talking about? Mehn you definitely watched a totally different game. How many times was sheriff goalkeeper tested and how many clear cut chances was created? The game was a snooze fest all through.

afrodoc2:
Haaland averages almost a goal a game whether he is playing for minnows Molde, minnows Salzburg, or decent Dortmund. The first time he has played for a dominant team and he is causing calculators to crash.

Ronaldo scored18 goals. They were created by his team mates he wasn't gifted the goals by Oluweri. Haaland at this stage is better than Ronaldo. He would have scored more than 18 goals.

patrickmuf:
I defended Ronaldo here last season but still, the criticism is valid as he has to do more...

You think Pep will not be working with Haaland to improve his all round game? Definitely, Pep will be doing that...In a year or two, Haaland will be better and that's if he listens to Pep.

Ronaldo is not above constructive criticism...

TrebleChamp:
Yet people still dragged and are still dragging him, they will drag Haaland too for not contributing to team play especially when United midfielders are having their usual horrible day. The number of goals he scores for the team won't matter to them, as long as he doesn't press bress on the pitch....
