StarBoard:
more unfounded stuff.

if those players were lazy as you implied, how then did they amass so much success?
answer on a postcard pls.

unless you started supporting united overnight you would know that players have ALWAYS been linked to United since the Bosman era.Most of them unfounded and aroused by media hype to sell papers.
1. Why are we changing an entire team within two years despite having a world class coach?

2. It's possible SAF didnt always have the entire backroom staff all these years. Perhaps there was one or two new recruits that brought their style and spoilt everything.

Make una dey argue here...see what your mate did in the UCL this season.

Barca this season defeated: Cyprus Champions, Dutch Champions, English Champions, French Champions, German Champions, Italian Champions.

Well deserved Champions League winners

anyone that prefers power to skill does not understand modern football. if elampawa is man utd's manager, you already know the kinda players he would sign.
So Van Gaal doesnt know modern football to be drilling our players? Athleticism is important in modern football. That's why Bilbao ran us around as if our players were pofpof. Just like big tummy teachers chasing students around.

Coolieguy Tortoise, training is not about weight lifting but about making you more mobile, agile and athletic.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:41pm On Jun 06, 2015
Training you players to be athletic, smart, agile and quick to be first to all balls, to turn swiftly, to run fast, to jump high is not about carrying bags of cements. It's about doing the normal aerobic like training for a longer time.

SAF said, Raafel does additional training and trains like a beast. We know the results in Rafael's game. His athleticism, quickness, smartness, pacing forward, etc. This is not about carrying weight as some may think. Did you guys even play ball at all?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by UniqueGem(m): 10:43pm On Jun 06, 2015
Elampawa has a point, where he got it all wrong was calling SAF backroom staffs and players Lazy(guess the truth is bitter). We were able to cope with these set of players under SAF because He(SAF) was a genius, you can see what's happening now that he has left us, we suddenly discovered Rooney is overrated, RVP is tired, etc etc. Free Elampawa, he has a point but he should work on his introduction make arguement no dey start for here anyhow.

oh please, shut it!
every player trains.....they do that everyday minus match days. we were awful in europe because there were better teams than us. it's got nothing to do with SAF's training methods.

united played UCL final in 08, 09 & 11 with SAF. if rafael didn't see red in 2010, we would have also made the final that year. how was SAF able to achieve all these if his training method was poor? do you just talk out of your arsë because of an irrelevant article?
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by chrisley024(m): 10:49pm On Jun 06, 2015
We should get Pogba back. He is the steel we lack in our midfield. Schneiderlin and Pogba and the midfield is sorted out.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 10:54pm On Jun 06, 2015
Rafael has cemented his position as United's first-choice right-back and has been one of the Premier League leaders' best players so far this season.

Ferguson feels the 22-year-old has shaken off the impetuous streak which characterised his early days at United and now has the potential to enjoy lasting success at Old Trafford.

"He's been fantastic," said Ferguson of the Brazilian. "He had the rashness, the impetuosity of a young boy. He's a Brazilian, he loves the game, he trains like a beast, never misses training and is a football fanatic.


"When he goes home in the summer, he goes into his street team and plays every day back in Brazil. It's phenomenal.

"We were hoping somewhere along the line that maturity comes along and the rashness disappears and his form this season has been brilliant.

"He can develop the kind of career Gary had, definitely. Gary was not the finished article when he came into the team but he became a fantastic full-back - probably the best the club has ever had.

"But it did take time for him in terms of his use of the ball and his crossing. All of these things develop because he wanted them to develop and he worked hard at it.

"We invest in young players' futures and we get repaid at some point. And that's what's happening with the boy."

In another place, SAF said Rafael stays behind after training to engage himself in personal training.
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by UniqueGem(m): 10:55pm On Jun 06, 2015
Guys, i think Sir Alex depended more on his tactics than hard and stressful training ground routins. The man knows how to ginger players and grind out results and has ability to see through the opponent(wisdom), thats why it work for him. Not any coach can work such way, the only coach that comes close to this is Mourinho. Modern coaches depend more on Agility, swiftness and all that, if SAF man utd were built that way, even Moyes could have succeded . Take a look at barca, No coach will have a problem managing them, they're configured the modern way.

nothing to do with rigorous training. you cannot overtrain players & you cannot undertrain them. even with rafael's beastly training, he injures himself in every game.

Oga make i no lie for you ooo. Right now i think we should get the whole player in this word if possible, imagine having a first and second 11 that can take on any team. That way, nobody go wan Bleep up because substitute dey bench. BTW, Gaitan isn't such a bad addition if you ask me.

There is always possibility that the trainer is under training the boys. It's also possible to over train. From what Evra said, I think our boys were being under trained/exercised. I must confess that we lost our athleticism in recent years.

more like our team got older.....
in 07/08, ronaldo/tevez/rooney were between 22 & 23.

now we have RVP at 32, rooney @ 29 & falcao at 28. so what do you expect?

if na rooney, you would be hearing excuses. messi had to leave the centre forward position for suarez to play as a wing forward o! yet, this did not affect his number. grin

When we beat Juventus in 1999 semi final, did we have better players?

Na only Barca don remove us from UCL? Bayern Munich, ( Otelu and Benfica grin ). When Mourinho beat Barca with Inter Milan squad, he didnt have a superior team. We have seen underdogs won. Although I am not saying they all won because they trained harder. I am just saying our boys have not been looking athletic for some time now as compared to many oppositions we have faced.

Looks like Van Gaal isn't interested in that. Maybe he doesn't like Nani face or the way he chews but he likes that of Gaitan. So to him its an upgrade and it'll also yield good for us because he's working with what he likes and who he likes. (no mind my discription ooo, but anything is possible. This above might be the reason for his action)

we had a better team!
they had the better individual players. yorke & cole was the best strike partnership on the planet & it was a hard grind.

funny how the same SAF that took juventus apart is the same SAF you are now blaming for keeping lazy players. you really need to learn how to articulate your points.

we are no longer what we used to be because of the overall quality of the current team. only our goalie can be rated world class. there are at least 7 players in the world better than whoever we parade in all the other 10 positions in the team.

so who are we fooling?

I am not blaming SAF. But did he always have this same back room staff all these years? Because of players that got to retire quickly and those who lost form massively. Anderson would mark you and disposses you, then run forward with the ball. etc Now all gone.

If I am to blame SAF, it's has to do with his transfer policy.

he has always kept the same staff. mike phelan had been with us for years. same as the other trainers.

our players simply got too old for their roles - we still got to win the domestic league so the decay wasn't so obvious but we were way below the level set by barca during guardiola's tenure.

I can't wait to see United in UCL with the likes of Young, Feliani, Old Carrick, Overrated Rooney. I doubt if you guys will pass the group stage if there are no upgrades.
