  1. The manager has lost the players

    It’s probably been said a lot, but with our run of fixtures it’s likely that by Christmas there’ll be someone new in charge unless something drastically changes.
  2. How long are we willing to take Pogba's insolance?

    Like many comments above have said, I can't see Madrid paying even near what we paid for him if he carries on the way he's going. I wouldn't be said to let him go now. Modern midfields are built around high work rate, something Pogba just does not possess, or does but refuses to run. Let him go.
  3. Play the kids for Europa [Poll added]

    I think we should look to give our main XI a well deserved break for now. If we do end up in the semi's / final then we should revert back to our strongest team as it would be a good confidence boost to land a bit of silverware.
  4. So who do you play Paul or Fred v The Foxes

    We are struggling with energy in the middle of the park for sure these last few games and the players look like they've been run ragged! I wouldn't be against giving Fred the nod and bringing Pogba on 2nd half.
  5. A new golden generation for England?

    The biggest question mark of the current breakthrough of English players is the midfield. For me, they need some steel in the middle of the park and I'm still unconvinced by Declan Rice and think he is a tad overrated, but may well be proved wrong. They've got plenty of attacking talent in the...
  6. Shaw is our best full back and best FB in Europe (edited)

    This is true. His stability in the side is what has given us confidence at the back along that left side. Without him there and Brandon's inexperience we do look very vulnerable.
  7. Weird feelings of football

    If Covid wasn't around, this still rings true!
  8. Who's the best pundit in football?

    Not for me. Still can't believe he got his job back after the spitting incident. That aside I don't think he can offer as much as other pundits and sounds fairly dull when talking (which may just be the scouse accent). Keano all day for me.
  9. The shape of our midfield...

    I agree for the most part with this, but I do think it's got a lot to do with his defensice attitude too. A few times after coming on yesterdayband losing the ball he doesn't sprint back to try and recover possession. He just trots around expecting someone else to win the ball back. For some...
  10. Does Ole have it in him to drop De Gea for the last 2 PL games?

    This is a thread about De Gea not our squad but hey ho. Obviously Ole knows there's more than 13 in the squad. If you were in charge, would you trust any of our players outside of our starting 11 plus one or two more to keep up the levels of performances we have been getting? I wouldn't...
  11. Predict our last two results

    After we bottled the lead against Southampton I'm fecking terrified for these last two games. Some will say we were fourtunate against Palace too and our performance levels just aren't quite where they were 2 weeks back. I'm going to go: United 3 - 2 West Ham United 1 - 1 Leicester Scrape...
  12. What's happened to De Gea?

    Yeah, agree probably. The thing with Ederson I suppose is he has more to his game in being a sweeper and great distributor of the ball. De Gea doesn't do that and solely relies on his reactionary saves to class him as a top keeper - which this past 18 months simply haven't been there.
  13. What's happened to De Gea?

    I thought DDG had put his worst years behind him during Fergies last years and the start of Moyes/LVG era. He was absolutely world class for us at times and still does have periods in a game where he can pull off a fantastic save - he will always have that. However; compare DDG to the other...
  14. Is Lingard as good as gone? | Contract extended by one year

    I think everyone can agree Lingard isn't up to United quality and should be moved on in the summer. However like many comments above have said, the disrespect against him however is still pretty bad considering he scored us a winner in a cup final.
  15. Is Lingard as good as gone? | Contract extended by one year

    Definitely as good as gone. Title to this thread perfectly explains his position our squad, the same I think applies to Phil Jones. Those rumours this last week of Moyes wanting them both at West Ham hopefully are true and can free up some space and budget for us to spend elsewhere in the window.
