The Manchester United Thread

Deserved win for Liverpool and expected performance from United. Lot of mistakes from manager in a single game.

Anyways he will stay till end of season so not arsed to go on a big rant about all mistakes.

United fans you're asking on presumably?

Just a standard lock-in to disperse the home support and minimise any potential flash points the police do here. (And many places on the continent in Euro aways.). Not always the best tactic if you're an away fan trying to keep a low profile and just get home. But it's a pretty standard practice. Particularly in this game. (Although that's been getting less and less at Old Trafford the last decade which has been far more beneficial.).

Never understood why they keep the away fans in, personally it would make more sense to get them out and on their buses etc especially as the home fans know the area and can more easily wait and ambush as has been the case in the past.

Said it the other day in here. Priority #1 again for them has to be keeping him this summer.

The key single difference the last two years between Utd trying to get 4th or being a mid-table/ lower half the league team.

I obviously see far more of him than Neuer on a regular basis, but he's the best in the World for me. At the very least on the same plane as the German that only includes those two.

Absolutely phenomenal last night. His reactions are so quick. Difference between this tie not being completely over at 4 or 5. That said, Phil's miss was shockingly bad. Seen it described as a Worldie save but that's giving De Gea way too much credit and absolving Coutinho. That was a tap in and he puts it back across the face into the keeper. Terrible.

I'd guess the theory is it is easier to keep back a few thousand away fans than the anywhere from 40,000 to 70,000 home fans depending on the stadium

Jose Mourinho confirms details about next job as Manchester United speculation persists - Manchester Evening News

Jose has said he will start a new job in July which to me means United as I can't the only club that could attract him and needs a new manager

Di Marzio has said he is 100% signed up to man United. Guess we will find out soon enough.

If he is accurate (and he usually is) a) it means that Berta is likely to join and that b) Jose will already know two of his transfer targets

and thay are?
 
Mourinho will most likely buy a proper center back. I'm absolutely sure about this.

I would probably bet my house he does.

"Real Madrid will go David de Gea again. There is already a buy-out clause in his contract at 30million. Real will go for him at that price, that’s for sure. People will question why there is a need to go for De Gea if Keylor Navas is playing so well. But De Gea will be Spain’s No 1 for the next decade, that’s the quality of ‘keeper they’ll be getting."

If ******* is right and De Gea has a ****** £30million release clause then we're an absolute joke of a club.

Good bye David De Gea, good bye United's only bit of hope. Mourinho will have to be a miracle worker to turn this ***** around. Without the best goalkeeper in the world and the one keeping us anywhere near top 4 well he will have to be a messiah and perform a miracle to get us anywhere near to the top again.

1) ******* is usually wrong

2) There's not a huge amount wrong with the quality of the players, just the mentality, if there is a manager out there who can turn that around, it's him

3) There are some excellent keepers out there; Horn, Leno (this guy is going to be a superstar, genuine Schmeichel like qualities)

4) De Gea may well not even leave. Unlike last year there has been absolutely no indication of any move

Sometimes I feel people overrate de gea.

And mourinho didn't need courtois to make all those super man saves at Chelsea last season cos they had a superb back 4. If we have a very good defense, then de gea won't make nearly as much saves as he normally would.

Mourinho has never been the type of manager to hinge on goalkeepers putting up performances, he makes sure those situations don't occur.

I've been talking about system for the best part of 2 years. When you get this right, it takes the pressure off individual players.

All you need now are a group of individual players that are better than average.

But as you'd still naturally take the counter view, we'll just it let play out next season under Jose or whomever.
