U dey mind that one. How much does Leicester spend before they won league??. How much does inter spend before we see them in champions league final??. Chelsea currently have spend 1billion. Were dem dey?? Ferguson only pack academy players and used them to achieve greatness.
Using money as excuse is what really I don't get about the guy. Is it until will spend 2 billion we should start expecting good result from the team!!. Psg spent billions still they haven't win any European trophy yet!!..
😂 Leicester won the league, so Ten Hag has no excuse? Imagine this type of thinking.

If we didn't have this Man City side in the league then we'd obviously be contenders. Leicester finished on 81 points during the league triumph. If that was enough to get anyone the league title these days, it'd be a different story.

Even mentioned SAF like man wasn't outspending every other team.

Mount was a stupid move, so do we base our season on Mount being a stupid move?
let's say we settle for Mount being a Bruno sub, which he will eventually be, then what?
who are the options we have at CF, CM and CB?
I think it's telling if we are still counting on doctors from Jose Mourinho era as options at Manchester United in 2023.
our first and second choices at LB are out till December at earliest. if there's a problem with either wan Bissaka or Martinez, what do you think will happen to our season?
Mount shouldn't be tagged as a mistake now. I remember making this mistake with Martinez after our match against Brentford last season.

I already believed Martinez would struggle because of his height. So after that Brentford game, I thought it wouldn't work.

Mount's case is even better. Ten Hag saw something in his play and decided he fits into his plan. Mount also listened to Ten Hag's plan and decided it fits into his abilities. So let's wait and see.

You think what we need is to win a trophy and then collapse? Because that's what happened last season.

Do we even go into any match confident we will get a good display and win comfortably?
the team that played twice every week till about 3 weeks after we left the Europa League.
we had a small squad and the team managed that feat. it's like people are quick to forget recent past these days. our players were practically run into the ground, what more expectations can we have?
some players have left that small squad and we have added 3 players. THREE! but £400m...
check the attached image to see how much more the team was stretched in comparison with Arsenal who had, and still has a larger squad.

Another silly excuse. You and arsenal were in the same competitions last season. If you decide to take meaningless Carabo cup and Europa league games seriously without rotating despite having a so called small squad then thats on you. Maybe we should be clapping for Erik 7even for running the team down senselessly.

I was saying it in the previous page. Everyone's suddenly developing amnaesia towards things that happened last season.

These guys are pushing back any positive memories they have towards Ten Hag and only interested in the negative.

Collapse after playing how many games per week up till that final? Abi una don quickly forget? You call it collapse cuz you were one of those drawn into the title talks.

We go into every home game confident no matter the opposition. It's the tough away games that needs to be worked on.
You can't wake someone pretending to be asleep. This was how Ole wasted our 3 years

Try and get my point. We needed the ‘Mount’ money to buy a DM. Mount is completely useless and not better than VDB and McTom.

Out defence has the numbers. We have two players per position. Varane - Maguire, Martinez - Lindelof, AWB - Dalot, Malacia - Shaw. Asides the 8 players, we have two fringe players (Evans and Bailey) and two younglings that are very happy to slot in if necessary. The reason we have 12 defenders is in case some of our starters are injured. A loan move for the LB position makes sense. Anything beyond that is ridiculous.

I get that you don’t want to see OGS and Mou players, but we can’t go buy one more defender per position because we don’t want to see existing players. It will happen gradually and we would need to also sell existing ones.

We had a really good season because of this. He pushed the team hard and we finished 3rd and won something for the 1st time in like a million years. We also got to the FA cup final. All of these with that squad.

So yeah, you should clap for him.

Arsenal had a larger squad? Saka does not even have a substitute. Is it Odegaard? Was it not Saliba that went on injury and they were conceding goals left right and centre? What larger squad? Gabriel's substitue is Nketiah abi what's his name? Nketiahhuh Is this the larger squad?

This is actually the reason all of you are like this. It's PTSD. Y'all wasted 3 years under Ole. You guys totally believed he was the one. Turns out he wasn't.

As a result of this, y'all rush into negativity at any sign of a crack in the process.

This was us begging bald head to rotate last season. That excuse won't fly cheesy

Trevor012:
None of that "tiredness" "too many games" nonsense. When we said he should rotate more and trust players they said we should go and coach our own team. He don dey clear for their eyes 😂😂
Trevor012:
If Dalot didn't get injured thats is how Awb for they rot for bench without any proper Chance to show his ability because bald man is afraid to trust players and rotate.
Trevor012:
Some of you are Fecking hilarious. 3:0 up against a nothing team like Nothingham forest at home and you still dey shake like this. Baba if the bald headed man cannot rotate with 3 zero up at home then he can never rotate again.

They prioritized competitions as a result of this. Problem is that was the best we've seen of Arsenal in yearrrrrs. Might be the best we'll see of them in a while. And they ended it trophless.

Bruno had no sub and we had no CF to even begin with. what's your point?
Saliba doesn't have a substitute? them conceding or not has nothing to do with it.
both Varane and Martinez had long spells out.
we played over 10 more games anyways. you comfortably skipped an important factor.

Some of us were complaining long before everything finally scattered because like ETH, Ole refused to fix the core of the problem, which was a much stronger and better midfield. He went with McFred until he got sacked

Games we didn't need to play. He is lucky Tottenham had a very slow start, and LFC and Chelsea were useless last season. He should repeat the same this season.

We had no CF? He brought in his country man Weghost

Which brings us back to the issue of funds.
Hojlund alone wasn't going to suddenly get us scoring tons of goals. We need an extra person that can score and create. Reason we got Mount. We also need another midfielder, and this is where the lack of funds come in.

We'll have to settle for a loan option/cheap deal. Want to contend with City with this?

Why not? If you need 400m and you are given same amount, but you decided to go spend the money prodigally, of course I will be concerned if a player gets injured, not because we did not spend, but because the spender’s brainless spending will affect the squad.
So, you think the squad is good enough and full of depth?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by ChristoBam: 8:59pm On Aug 30, 2023
The way these ones are talking you'd think everything ended up in a disaster last season.

Man met and surpassed his target last season. Whatever he did was to meet that target and it worked wonderfully.

But because of Agenda, dem wan paint am as another thing.

Useless owners and managements.

Imagine we sacrificed the League cup as per we dey prioritize competitions, we'd probably be trophless now.

I bet you'd feel better about that. Cuz the agenda against Ten Hag would probably be stronger.

"When" he flops and get sacked, it's alright.
we'd move on to the next manager and we point out another £400m while completing another 360.
you sound like this will be the first.
the fact is it will remain the same till we see some ambition from the board.
any manager that finds any spec of success with the structures setup by these owners should be knighted.
LvG, Jose and Ten Hag have done what they can with what they met on ground. Ole came very close occasionally, couldn't manage that extra bit.
let's see how far Ten Hag will go before getting the boot.
It's quite straightforward really.
