The Manchester United Thread

Yeah that’s annoying I admit. But it’s also lead to goals this season. Linderlof does the same but you know there’s absolutely no chance he’s gonna pick anyone out. Least Maguire does on a few occasions. Just frustrating as there ain’t a lot we can do till the summer and it’s gonna keep costing us. They simply don’t make a good pair. And DDG keeps costing us points for the last 2 seasons with ridiculous howlers.

You have Dean Henderson who watching him this season seems to have lost confidence. I guess thats what happens when you play odd cup games here and there. You will find it impossible to shift DDG as he if I recall correctly is the highest paid player in the PL?

Watch it again. Maguire can see the line and has the best view all he has to do is hold and not cheat and everyone of them is off. Why on earth does he drop so early.

I don’t need to watch it again I know he’s deep. But that doesn’t excuse Linderlof losing his man either. Or DDG being a wet fart and going for the ball on the floor. Do your job till the ****** whistle goes!
 
David de Gea has saved just 60.9% of shots on his goal in this season's Premier League, only Rui Patricio (59.7%) has a lower save-percentage of all PL keepers with 15+ apps this season. He conceded from all three shots he faced tonight.
 
That's it TOD... I'm sending my 3 year old over from Ireland to teach you English :LOL:

I'm going to sulk and get ****** in my computer room, blasting Iron Maiden 🍻

He is one of the best iv'e ever seen in staying on his line and saving shots. Yet every other part of his game required for a top level modern keeper is average or below average. He will only get worse as he ages as he relies on his reflexes and agility but surely he should've gotten better at coming of his line considering he has been in the league for how many years now.

Yeah and you can see on his face for a couple of seasons now he looks nervous all the time. He tries to make punches on crosses and miss punched them half the time. It’s like the ball is a grenade every time it’s rolling near him on the floor.
 
Not surprised the front players were all going off effing and blinding at FT. McTominey, Cavani, Fernandes were absolutely fuming.
 
Another week, another amateur hour display from out captain

— Neil Wood on Hannibal Mejbri: "Mejbri has lots of quality. And a frustrating point for him is there must be about 15 fouls on him per game. And at some point, if the referees are not protecting him, he's going to get his leg broken — that's what I fear for him. #mufc

— Neil Wood on Hannibal Mejbri: "He loves getting on the ball, he loves creating, and teams love to hack him down when they can. He's doing really well, he's been outstanding for the last couple of games." #mufc
 
Another top performance by Garner yesterday. And getting rave reviews from Forrest fans and local media outlets.

James Garner is absolutely phenomenal. For me, he’s one of the biggest signings we’ve made in years. The whole team just clicks so much more with him in the side, can watch him ping a ball all day. Thank you #MUFC
 
We've scored 10 more goals than City this season, but have conceded more goals than every team in the top half of the table.

That sums up everything right now, the CB's and GK are an absolute joke. City fixed their defence in the summer with a top CB, what did our board do? Giving De Gea highest paid deal in PL based on what.... his form the last few seasons has been *****. He's a shot stopper with no presence whatsoever and where the **** was the organisation in Everton 3rd goal? ****** off with it.

It isn’t just personnel. City have tweaked their style this year to be more pragmatic.

Utd continue to be a poorly coached team regardless of personnel.

Yep all true mate. We have a league winning attack but relegation battle CB pairing and GK on recent seasons form. Ole tries to tweak it having 2 DMs problem is there both BTB players. Hope the board get him the players he wants in the summer. So far he’s wanted Grealish, Sancho, Upamcano, Bellingham and Haaland the board didn’t get him any. Yes they got him some very good needed squad options that have helped massively. Now they need to seriously deliver on his main targets even though it’s hard in current climate

We have tweaked ours but to far the other way. Last we was pragmatic while being a counter team with one of the best defensive records. This year we have one of the best gl records and worst defensive. Same as our form against the top six it’s completely reversed from last year. Ole needs to find that balance which he will with the players he wants.

Mate, you have ZERO identity outside of get the fasteat players on the pitch and hit on the break. Your organisation is shocking. Not least defensively. Absolutely NO structure there at all through the whole team. This Utd vesion is a horribly coached side and that stands out a mile most every game. Relying on individual quality to flat track bully less talented sides and pull you through in many games you don’t deserve to.

Far from progressing to ‘challenging’ as you floated the other day, you have just taken advantage of a ‘perfect storm’ thats painted a false picture and given Sky their mad want to push a multiple-team title race that never was.

You could take all the players you listed, and I’ll throw in van Dijk for the backline, Gini for the 6/ DM role, and you wouldn’t be any sort of serious title threat next year under the PE Teacher.

Been there, done this on countless sessons through the PL era and always fell into the same trap of false hope of ‘just one or two more quality signings and we’ll topple Fergusons Utd.’ We never did. As we were levels behind in reality. Just like you're levels behind City and L’pool now and going forward.

Enough talent to flatter to deceive and give that false hope.But nowhere near enough to cover the massive coaching deficiency’s over 38 games,

****, I openly wanted you to beat Everton last night and go 7 clear! What does that tell you? ..... I see you as NO threat to finish above us and we’ve had 16 different CH pairings and counting this year!
