Relegated defenders pocketed Salah this season. It was his off season until latter stages. Last season, only Young pocketed him and took him hom in the whole of Europe. Salah was the most deadly attacking player in the whole wide world last season (bar Ronaldo the most deadly scorer).
but he finishes with the golden boot didn't he
latter stages
when did we play against Liverpool at old Trafford
Abi you would count that as latter stages

My policy on transfer. It is not my business. Anything that will make the team work is okay by me. But zero addition will not make the team work. Addition of only young talents without one or two signings of established players will make next season a pain for the fans. I also don't care who stays or who goes.

Salah this season is a shadow of Salah last season.

Shaw came to our left side which is the best attacking side of the team and we failed in everything we participated in. I remember warning that Shaw will make Martial useless. grin grin grin

Shaw has only one route to attack and so predictable. That makes it hard for Martial.
And when ur darling Young played against Barca at LB what happened?

Shaw is predictable? Lul! Ur favorite full backs are Youmg and Valencia but u are talking about predictability. Loling.

Shaw did not pocket Messi either. Barca didn't just reach their potentials on the day, and it was all round.

Young is highly unpredictable on the left. You forget so soon.

Valencia makes up with huge hard work and covers not only his position, but also for the DM and CBs

Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 2:39pm On May 13, 2019
Ashley Young was praised by Manchester United fans for nullifying Mohamed Salah in Saturday’s victory over Liverpool at Old Trafford.

Egyptian forward Salah has taken the Premier League by storm this season, scoring 24 goals in 27 games following his summer arrival from Roma. But the 25-year-old former Chelsea flop was kept quiet by United over the weekend, mustering just one shot on David De Gea’s goal as Liverpool were beaten 2-1.

Jose Mourinho singled out Young as a key component in the victory and the 32-year-old full-back has responded to claims he ‘pocketed’ Salah at the Theatre of Dreams. In a social media post, Young posted a picture of himself training, with the caption: ‘Stop asking me! He’s not in my pocket, I swear he’s not.’
Re: Official Manchester United Fan Thread:''20 Times EPL Champion by elampiro(m): 3:18pm On May 13, 2019
No wonder. Valencia and Young were in our full backs when we beat Liverpool last season. They successfully took out Mane and Salah. Ashley Young had the highest touches on our side sef.

We finished what position last season?

This is why I always call for gradual transition. Last season we finished second with 81 points, Matic (35 EPL starts), Lukaku (33), Valencia (31), Young (28), Smalling (28), had the highest starts. Pogba (25) was the next.

Out of the above players, only Pogba was fit to start this season. And you can see where we ended.

We should be thanking God that our Players could not hide their averageness and lazyness until the beginning of next Season.

At least we've got to know their Limits. Everyone has seen their true Pictures..... They are simply bunch of over-pampered Twats.

I still stand by OGS, cos it will be unfair to judge him now. Let's wait and see what's under sleeves. What he's capable of. How he's planning to turn around the lazy mentality of our Players.

Btw..... 25mins of Gomez is far better than Perreira's 65mins on the Pitch yesterday.
Pereira was okay yesterday, you should have said lingard or headless chicken rashford. gomes is a good player I just hope his small size won't be a problem( physicality of the premier league)

I said Young is highly unpredictable on the left side. Means a defender or a marker will find it hard to stop Young because he can go both sides dangerously. He passes well on the left, goes forward well there, goes behind the defence line like Martial does and can cut back to whip the ball into the box targeting far post.

we can't really say tottenham has had a peculiar style of play this season due to their injuries,with some players playing in unfamiliar roles.against ajax,poch initial setup.was 4 defenders,1 holding midfielder,1 cmf(sissoko),eriksen as amf and 3 ss(son,moura,dele).when he saw the tactics wasn't working,he introduced a cf(a post player ,llorente) and took off the dm wanyama,forcing eriksen to drop back as cmf and they initiated long balls against the initial short passes.
llorente's job was to effectively hold up play and play through passes to his (ss),the rest was left for the ss to create chances/score from the through balls.
it did pay off,but ajax could have tighted it if they had played very compact with a very high defensive line or they had double marked "llorente" as he became the new creative outlet unlike eriksen. beautiful tactical switch i must say.

Who do we believe now? You or Eriksen that said they abandoned tactics and fought on the pitch?

LoooL. I just wanted an answer to the question.

He also said Young is unpredictable on the left side; he can go right or left. But when he’s on the right side he cannot go right or left. Ayagayagayagayo grin

lol,eriksen was caught in the euphoria of their victory,indeed they abandoned "tactics",cause they didn't expect the "new" tactic to work,as it is something they probably have never done or trained on b4,most players would not even call it a tactic,as it was thought up hastily,hoping it would work.well,personally i give kudos to llorente who had the common sense to keep playing the ball through.
when chelsea drew 2-2 with barcelona in 2012,all key players said they played with their all,forgetting that they switched from defensive to "ultra defensive" playing with 4 dfs and 4 dmfs with the striker as the first line of defence.

So Eriksen was so excited that he totally forgot the moment when Poch told the team he's switching tactics and was praising Moura instead? What else did he forget? Lol

Taking off Wanyama and bringing on Llorente was a change of formation, playing long balls as against trying to play through a congested midfield was a tactical switch, it helped them bypass that solid Ajax midfield.
