Pep’s village people work for him, not against him.
He dodged a bullet with him, same way he dodged a bullet with Alexis Sanchez.

Fred’s problems have nothing to do with our play.
His ball control is not clean enough and he does not shield the ball well.
He is lightweight physically and gets pushed off the ball often without the ref coming to his rescue.
He becomes jittery when the opposition presses him and is a liability in our half.

As a senior member of the team, costing 50m and coming in with the reputation of a Brazilian international he has been a disgrace. I would not say disappointment cos i never really expected much from him.
I agree Fred has limitations but which player has improved after joining us?

It’s not even about improving. It’s about giving us the minimum expected and being as good as advertised initially. No need for improvement sef, just give us your baseline game from your previous club.

The guy has been crap and that’s the truth. I can’t recall above average performances in any sequence of consecutive games.

Apart from Sanchez he has probably been Mourino’s worst buy in terms of performance. At least the others can point to a number of top quality outings even if they weren’t consistent.

He is slow and weak (opposite of pace and power) and collapses under the mere hint of a press.


He is the opposite of for example Wijnaldum.
Our scouting is so poor it is almost comical.
I have no hopes that the 50m waste will come good soon.

Hmm the new season starts this weekend and for the first time in many years, I'm not excited about the upcoming season.. I've tried to be optimistic about the upcoming season but I see that Man Utd team and I find it difficult to be optimistic.

It seems the board, the manager and the fans all have the same problem. We quickly forget things. Like some of us quickly forgot how useless Rashford, Lingard and Martial can be. Especially Martial that can go annonymous for 3 months. Some people are predicting lineups and they have Martial, Lingard and Rashford as the front 3 and they are excited for it, what a pity.. Apart from the defence and Pogba, I look at the rest of the team and feel so sad. We've really fallen so low.

I'm not even ready to start throwing shots at Ole cuz I'm not ready for arguments. But one thing Ole will do that will make me hate him for life is to sell Lukaku without any good replacement.

Whatever happens, my judgement about Ole remains he won't last this season. Except we miraculously complete some signings before the end of the window.

I don't know why people think making wholesale changes to a squad in one transfer window will have any positive impact . Even when we were far behind Arsenal unbeaten squad and Jose Mourniho's chelsea with Roy Keane's wahala, fergie did not go out and buy 7 players at a go. He signed Ji-sung Park and Van der sar in the summer of 05/06 and Evra,Vidic jan transfer window, then only Michael Carrick the next season to win the league ahead of that strong Mourinho's chelsea.

Only one or two major signings(Alison and van dijk) can make a huge impact in a team,ask Liverpool. I understand the pessimism because the major signings we have made so far is defensive and not the blistering big name wingers that will excite fans. After all the excitement in signing offensive players in Di Maria,Falcoa, Sanchez,Depay etc what did we get in return?

We have talents in our squad, the coaches are there to bring out the best in those group of players, that is what they get paid for, not to start giving them 6-7 brand new players every summer. Who is to say the players we have been asking the club to sign will settle quickly and be better than what we already have. If Lindelöf can improve and now making every fans proposed 1st team line up, don't see why the rest can't improve this season.

I remember last season, how fans were celebrating buying a solid Brazilian midfielder (FRED),not british midfielder oo, under the nose of Mancity. Now, I cannot even see Fred name in any of your line up, everywhere is now McTominay our home grown talent that was given a chance. Now i am even seeing bruno fernandes that we have not even signed on our line up.The management team has backed Ole so far, if he fails no excuse from him or me.

If Liverpool can win Champions league with a midfield of Henderson,Wijnaldum, Fabinho , Milner,I don't see why we cannot compete with a Midfield of Pogba, Fred,McTominay ,Matic, Perreira if they all work hard for each other.

The way dis guy take disappear like the fart of a leprous witch eh... grin

Well said bro.

If Lindelof can improve, and everyone now sees him as our best defender, I see no reason why other won't step up .

so far in the pre season, the attitude of the players have improved. And the attitude is what matters, because individually , those guys are good, they just need the right attitude to be winners
Lol, dis one say na attitude, Attitude FC. grin

I mean look at Chelsea. Transfer ban and effectively lost their best player to Madrid, they have to be worse, especially with an average Lampard as coach & United are Still united Maga fc wasting money on Maguire and Wan-Bissaka who are improvements yes but definitely not world class with an average coach same problem with Chelsea and Spurs are going trophyless it's certain We have to be considered the favourite along with City and Liverpool won't be lucky like last season with injuries and paying off refs.

Shey y'all are watching how Sheffield (from division 2) are creating chances against Liverpool, as in, not sitting back and hoping for a counter-attack. Of course their players are better than ours now.

We should sell the ones we have, then buy Sheffield players so Ole can use them to win the league.

I was about typing this. Fred isn't that bad but our team play contributed to his lack of performance. Fred would have excelled in City

Las las, possession was 30% - 70% and Sheffield no see one goal score with their 2 shots on target the entire game but OK.

Are we trying to get to the level of Sheffield Utd? Or Liverpool’s?

Nah, what I am trying to say is we can blame the players, but the manager has to step up big time. Even if we buy FIFA best 11, if tactic and style are sh!t, then we won't win a spoon.

Correct about possession. The game I saw though (second half) had Sheffield play very well, a mistake from the silly keeper led to the goal.

Message really is, buying more players won't do us any good, we need to get the best out of the ones we have. Our boys can make top 4, let us stop this 'blame the players' game.

So, tactics is the reason Rashford is losing goals every match day? Tactics is the reason Fred can't control and hold a pass successfully? Tactics is the reason Mata and Matic are running like grannies on the pitch?

Tbh, Martial needs to come back from injury asap... Liverpool plays quick football while pressing high up the pitch but they hardly have injury issues. Small press, Martial and Co don enter hospital grin
