  1. Post match vs Southampton

    Positives: AWB and Maguire look the part; Dan James is a grafter, has speed to burn and some skill which can be honed; Mata played well before tiring later on; some good skill displayed by Pogba in patches; Greenwood looked promising when he came on - such a shame his shot didn't go in...
  2. Ole Gunnar Solskjær | 2021/22 Discussion

    Let's get real. Our results since the 3-1 loss to Arsenal are relegation material. There is skill and ability in the squad as shown by our results after JM's sacking up to and including the victory over PSG. It's up to the manager to convey a philosophy, define tactics, select the team and...
  3. Appointing Solskjaer was a mistake

    I want OGS to succeed I really do. I was one of the many clamouring for his appointment after we defeated PSG on the back of a fantastic resurgence of form. Talk of playing "the United Way" and his history with the club during our golden era won me over. However this morning I'm no longer...
  4. Post match vs Chelsea

    I'm worried about OGS's capacity to make difficult decisions. Romero should have been on for DDG today. DDG's ball handling and distribution have been poor for weeks and he needed to be rested, particularly as this was a must win game for us to retain any hope of Champions League football next...
  5. Spurs 2018/19

    Well played you Spurs! Absolutely delighted for you. Happy for you to win it but please collapse in the Premiership!
  6. Post match vs Barcelona

    I've taken the night to reflect. There's a lot of the usual negativity on here and I think we need to calm down. We started the game well and were threatening. Rashford and Martial looked up for it in attack and Barca appeared to be pretty wary of us. It started to go wrong when Young went...
  7. Post match vs Barcelona

    I was expecting a bit of a drubbing to be honest but the reality was rather different. Poor not to have any attempts forcing Ter Stegen to make a save but Barca did little better. McT excellent and good to see Fred starting to make an impact. Dalot showing promise of things to come but...
  8. Post match vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Humiliated again by bloody Wolves who taught us a lesson in skill, organisation and let's face it desire. Pogba anonymous - in fact worse than anonymous, lost the ball too easily and too often. He just doesn't seem to be interested. What was Lingard doing? Completely ineffectual. Young is past...
  9. Post match vs Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Completely outplayed, verging on humiliation when Wolves were knocking the ball around towards the end. Pogba and Rashford (despite the well taken last minute goal) both poor. Martial and Lingard off the pace. General lack of energy throughout the team. Looks like the effort against PSG has...
  10. Champions League QF Draw | Manchester United v Barcelona

    Tough one. Knowledge made worse by abject BBC reporting. How could anyone forget that we played Bayern in the 1999 final?
  11. Post match vs Arsenal

    Very sluggish first half from us did it. We were second to every contested ball which gave them confidence. De Gea also off the pace. Would normally have saved Arsenal's first goal and his distribution was poor. Perhaps too much of a celebration after the PSG result. Hopefully we'll re-group...
  12. Post match vs Chelsea (FA Cup 5th Round)

    I've been watching United for over 50 years and that performance was right up there with the best of them. Tactical masterclass from OGS. Aggression, focus, skill and the will to win demonstrated by all the players. Pogba got man of the match but for me that plaudit should have gone to...
  13. Post match vs Paris St Germain

    Agreed. There's been a lot of drivel written in the media about the gulf in quality between the two teams but we looked capable of winning in the first half. It was outrageous that Kimpembe escaped a second yellow card for that tackle on Rashford. Had he been sent off and a free kick awarded...
  14. Ivan Perisic

    Some people on here need to get a grip. Mourinho knows what he's doing. He's building a war machine and Perisic fits his criteria. Strong, committed and capable of taking opponents on. If we do get him he'll be very useful for us and capable of withstanding the rigours of a tough campaign. B...
  15. Really proud of the team tonight

    No shame in that result given Herrera's sending off. Great opening and thought we were going to confound the pundits. Valencia was immense and a good game too from Rojo. Pogba needs to step up though, failed to assert any real authority and I'm tired of seeing him shooting wide and then...
