  1. We need 3 new CMs. Who do we sign?

    No, I don't see that working.
  2. Mason Mount's Misfortune

    Ms Mhis Mopyright Mnfingement?
  3. Frenkie De Jong - Part 3?

    No, he was more on the left side of the – sort of – double pivot. Schöne was on his right generally covering the spaces left. ------------------ With Mainoo breaking through this transfer makes less sense than it would have two years ago. However, Casemiro's legs (and his general consistency)...
  4. Mason Mount's Misfortune

    Medical Miracle Maybe March? May?
  5. Liverpool vs Manchester United

    Especially Ahmed Delealli will prove a loss
  6. Manchester United vs Bournemouth

    Honestly wouldn't mind a 20-1 win
  7. Who made you more stoic about hot prospects?

    :lol: Maybe stoic wasn't the right word to make my point, as I didn't mean it in the philosophical sense. Maybe it's more of a dutch thing to use it as a synonym for 'unbothered' to some degree. As in, not get overly excited/ahead of yourself when seeing a prospect (new young talent or even...
  8. Who made you more stoic about hot prospects?

    Someone posting the video on the Pogba thread made me realize one thing about what he meant for me. For years and years I thought he could still have his break, or perhaps in his case the break would be realizing a higher consistency and composure during games. Even before the summer he left I...
  9. Antoine Griezmann

    Honestly since the World Cup he's at his best ever, in my opinion. Before his Barça departure I honestly thought he was hella overrated, but he turned into an excellent midfielder/hole player type in the autumn of his career.
  10. Take any one player at his peak from our past and put him in this team, who do you choose?

    I love RvP, and he's my fave out of those three easily. But I think in Oranje, the way he played with Sneijder – or more the way Sneijder didn't play with him – would worry me a bit with the way Bruno is obsessed with killer balls in the same way he was. I guess it does help that they don't have...
  11. Time + blind faith = Sir Alex Ferguson.

    I don't know what is right. I do know that us football fans are irrational dramaroyals
  12. Dalot vs Wan-Bissaka

    The way Dalot dribbles out the back makes me feel like he can do something, and some of his clearances too, but his short passes and straight up defending really scream dependency. AWB's back pass to Onana was horrible but he kinda seemed okay outside of that though, especially before he was...
  13. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Mount for Hojlund seemed okay, but less if Bruno wasn't replaced by someone actually providing an outlet. Could have been any of Antony, Pellistri and Martial. I kinda thought that he wanted to go for a 4-2-1-2 like that until I noticed that Bruno (or even McT) stayed on the field. I love ETH...
  14. FC Copenhagen vs Manchester United

    The calls make some sense. They sock horribly, and could've been gotten away with, although the handball chaos would've been controversial if not called. But the red – even though it doesn't feel fair, and it kind of isn't – with the way reds are handed out, it is not a surprise the ref would...
  15. FC Copenhagen vs Manchester United

    Turns out AWB was the missing playmaking outlet
