The Manchester United Thread

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.
 
Well, from this initial look Robbo lad he's exactly the profile of player we've been targeting since Klopp arrived. An all-round footballer that can play any position that midfield. He's started out tonight as one of the deep sitting two but he's been all over the park dominating both ends. Strong. Athletic. Rangy. Strong the tackle. Great range of passing with a non-stop motor. To equate Utd wise, he's like Pogba. The perfect, athletic modern day midfielder with the added bonus of being just as effective deep as when he's galloping forward. 1 game but well impressed.

I need to see more games like over the year to really judge but on this initial viewing I totally get the hype and why the analytical guys say he's hard to compare to anyone else as he's so good defensively and offensively.

On this showing, £55 million looks an absolute steal. Just frustrating we have to wait a year **** it!

Theres another £15m on the price. What a goal
 
Finished 0-2. Carbon copy of Spurs game last week. Wrong selection and players playing out of possition. Started poorly with players looking lost and not sure of how to play. Better in second half as our fitness seems greater than other teams. And the subs bringing better balance. Could of got a draw. Shaw was pretty good at CB. Buffonge class when he came on should be starting! Apparently tested a few players who are playing in the u19 CL.
 
Think might see this today

DDG
Valencia-Bailly-Jones-Darmian
Matic
Pogba-Fellaini
Mky-Luk-Martial

Today. After what Mourinho was saying about there physicality and counter football. Think Martial will get the nod as he didn't play mid week.
 
Lol nearly forgot Jones and Bailly are both out for the CL game on Tuesday to Basel. Will be a Smalling-Lindelöf combo.
 
Now this is where the real test for our credentials, a great start like last season, but we can't take our foot off the pedal now. Got to keep on winning and getting them points racked up.
 
LVG not happy at his treatment by utd,just read what he said on bbc
