You guys are looking at our team only and are overly critical sometimes.

We are not the only team that is inconsistent. Actually every other team is inconsistent as well.........which is why we are still title contenders.

afrodoc2:
You sometimes trust scout who have watched hours of tape or have watched live matches or training sessions. Or you trust your ex-teammate who is the player's national team manager.

James is fast and works hard and obviously tries hard. However he lacks the one thing in football you can't learn i.e football intelligence.

afrodoc2:
The way you jump to that conclusion you go win both high jump and long jump gold for Olympics.

Lana1:
Yes all teams with their inconsistencies. But how many title contenders across Europe's top 5 leagues do you know presently that are inconsistent across two departments, defence and attack?

We look like we will concede every time teams have a run at us and our strikers can't bury easy chances.

Lana1:
We are talking about this season, but this one will keep bringing up "since February", "since 2020". Keep living in the past.

nitrogen:
I did not conclude, I said it was a possibility.

Uniquisite:
[s] Na February league start abi? You are mad and it shall not be well for you for replying me with Bullcrap.. RUBBISH!!!!! [/s]

MaziAlaye:
If we are a serious club chasing trophies, Rashford and Martial shouldn't be our regular starters.

I mean teams can sign rubbish players at times by mistake, but how ole kept on playing him is a mystery. Even playing mata in that position or even VDB as an extra player would have been better. And this idea of playing a CB in RB position, Ole has to stop it.

As for those loud mouthed class of 92 abd co. They should stop recommending players for us.

afrodoc2:
I was pulling your leg.

Anyway IMO the buck stops with the manager in terms of choice of player but with the board in terms of choice of fee.

That is not how it works. League performance is about quality of the squad rather than just a few players or first 11, and we have a deep squad and so are more resistant to injuries and/or loss of form over the course of the season. For example Everton usually look toothless whenever Richarlison and/or James are absent, and every time Ndidi has a spell out injured Leicester's form dips.

The only team that i rate ahead of us presently is Liverpool so if we can't be title contenders then that means only Liverpool is contending for the title this season.

Fact only. a lot of people have said this in the past but it was ignored. I was one of those people that ignored it as well.

I fit still manage Rashford as a LW because he's a good option. But it will be diabolical to still have Martial as our CF when I need to win the league.
Fergie would have bought Kane decades ago. That man no dey joke with prolific CF because he knows that it's very important of you want to win titles.
if we had a prolific CF, we would probably be in the UCL knock out stage by now, we would also have a higher league standing as well, because those chances that are being wasted that is costing us won't be happening

"right leg ronaldo, left leg messi all in one package","he is a generational talent","he is the most naturally gifted finisher at the club","he is easily the best player of his generation","he can take pens and free kicks with both feet".

afrodoc2 WHERE IS HIDDENWOOD WHEN YOU NEED HIM.

CapitalCee:
Rashford should start in his normal LWF. Tge person that is supposed not to start is Martial. Martial is supposed to be a back uo striker. Lets stop lumping Rashford and martial together, Rashford already has 13 goals and 6 assists this season, thats not bad for a winger. Our main striker has 1 EPL goals after 14 games, thats criminal

timay:
I wonder why Ole stopped playing Brandon Williams. You had to loan out Dalot to give him chance , only to drop him and play a CB in that position. Ole na fool I swear, he's the one that always give his critics the chance to have a go at him.

ChristineC:
to be fair James have been largely non-existent on the pitch this season
