The Manchester United Thread

Arsenal had a big, physical lad played against L'pool up front last time out before the break the 23's who put himself about a bit so that'll be a challenge for Shaw if he's playing. Akpom maybe? Something like that. Big coloured lad anyway.

ouch!coloured scouse?which colour would that be then
 
Wilson with a great little run forcing the keeper into a fingertip save. Shaw been good so far tbh at CB. Team so unbalanced again though with so many players playing out of possition.
 
Gonna' go watch the RBL game to start looking at Keita but watch out for Nelson if he's playing for Arsenal. He was wide but more playing off that big fella the middle. Quite a tidy player who's dead quick. Mad hair though haha.

Been Arsenal best player so far. Akpom missed a sitter. Arsenal trying to walk the ball in the net wasting very good chances. Fantastic save by Ohara to keep it at 0-0!

Scouse Nelson just scored a freekick. Was never a freekick in the first place and poor from Ohara getting beat on his side. Lol make that 2-0 another freekick and more poor keeping. Gonna be another long season at this rate. No balance again to many players playing out of possition.

**** it. Scored again huh? He put Arsenal in front the only goal we've conceded this season too. Broke clean through and lifted it over Grabara. He was the one who really stood out for them.

Done really well to come back and win 2-1 at Arsenal. Very tidy side.
 
Should of lined up like this-

Ohara
Riley-Olesunde-Warren-Shaw
Buffonge-McTominey
Dearnley-Boonen-Mitchel
Wilson
 
Point of interest- VAR in perfect action the Hamburg- Leipzig match.

Tackle half time the area that the ref initially gave as a penalty. Went the video assistant. Clearly, the defender won it and it should have been a corner. Overturned. All of 15/20 seconds if that to go to Cologne and get the correct decision.

How anyone can see this as a bad move for the game is beyond me. Quick. Decisive. The correct decision reached and no arguing the players.
 
On the plus side robbo this Naby Keita fella' is a heck of an all-round footballer who's everywhere the pitch from first viewing.

But that's probably not helping your demeanour either. Soz. :P

Yeh seen him quite a few times last year. Looked really good. The only thing putting me off (for any club buying him) was if he can keep up that level in a different team. By that I mean is RBL as a team (and player alongside him) and their set-up getting the best out of him. Example being Schneiderlin and Wanyama at Southampton. Both very good in their own right but they made each other look so much better together as a unit.

Also Kante/Drinkwater and the way Leicester set up. Would Kante be the same player out of that unit when he went to Chelsea. Turns out he was but again he had Matic. This year will be the year we know Kante's true level IMO. Thats maybe why they bought Drinkwater to hopefully keep that level from Leicester and last year.

Looks a good buy though. If he has a year like last year at RBL then his price would be even higher next summer. Plus he'll get a good few games in the CL to improve further. My worry would be who do you put with him in the middle? Do you stick with Henderson? Is he really good enough to start every week in a team thats looking to secure top 4 every season and progress in the CL? Is Wijnaldum any good? Id be looking at another world class CM next summer to play with him. Especially if you get top 4 again.
