  1. Willy Kambwala | 2023/24 Performances

    Yeah I absolutely agree. I remember one of his first games for the u18s and the mic was picking up our coaching staff who talked him through the entire game. It smacked of someone who had relied on their physical advantages so much that he had maybe fallen behind tactically. I remember thinking...
  2. Post match vs Liverpool

    Players gave everything. Fully deserved. Brilliant.
  3. Marcus Rashford | 2023/24 Performances

    The last few games he has been a threat, which considering how poor he has looked for most of the season is pleasing. Next step would be to start finishing some of these chances more consistently and hopefully he can go on a nice run from now until the end of the season... which still wouldn't...
  4. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    There were moments in the game where I was wondering what it would look like if Mainoo was playing #10. Quick feet, composure and ball retention... I think we could have scored 5 or 6. If we had 3 of him, he would be playing #6, #8 and #10
  5. Alejandro Garnacho | 2023/24 Performances

    Heard an interesting stat on skysports that only Foden has created more chances from ball carries in the league this season. They didn't provide numbers, but did say Garnacho is 5 ahead of Salah. I was half expecting a bit of a downturn this season. Second season syndrome is real for young...
  6. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    He's gone from rotation option at Atalanta to being the sole #9 at Man Utd, his boyhood club. At the age of 20. In a team ravaged with injuries. Plagued with off-field issues and ill discipline. Looking disjointed on-field. Playing with two inverted wingers who create next to nothing for him...
  7. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    Was delighted when we signed him, but I really hoped we would sign a competent second striker to ease the pressure on him. Glad to see that he isn't sinking under the weight of being our only real option at #9. Also delighted with some of his vision and link up play around the box. He's...
  8. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    Anyone who watched him at youth level knew he had that in his locker. What I did not expect was to see it at senior level after 8-10 games. He is completely unfazed about the step up to the senior team. Came across incredibly well in his interview also. So excited to see what he can become
  9. Television Anyone recommend me any TV Shows?

    A friend nagged me into watching this and I thought it was dynamite. One of the episodes in particular blew me away. It had a current event, a flashback and a Japanese puppet theatre show all interwoven into the story, it was really well done. The "is this anime?" question is quite interesting...
  10. Kobbie Mainoo | 2023/24 Performances

    Doubters in shambles! ...oh wait they are downplaying his performance. Highest passing % in the team = "kept giving the ball away" :rolleyes:
  11. Casemiro | 2023/24 Performances

    That was a ridiculous performance last night. Spraying balls out to the flanks, the first time, no look looping one he does, then he started fizzing balls into the feet of Donny van de Beek like he was angry at him. Oh and he also helped keep a clean sheet along with a goal and assist.
  12. Manchester United vs Crystal Palace

    Nice of Mount to finally show up, very good half from him. Looks a lot more settled. The Mitchell brothers (Amrabat and Casemiro) completely controlling the game. I love that after 45 minutes Amrabat is giving us solutions. I didn't really think of him playing as inverted fullback against...
  13. Erik ten Hag vs Sancho

    Of course Sancho's mental health will have taken a hit, he's just had a bust up with his manager and has been removed from the first team. He might be on a lot of money, but he is still a human being. The club have a duty of care to make sure he get's the help required, same way we would if he...
  14. VAR and Refs | General Discussion

    Yeah I agree. McCoist on commentary said he was blocking the keepers view, but he wasn't when the header was made. The other guy on commentary said it was the contact with the keeper. Which happened before the header. If it's just for being in such close proximity to the ball then that's about...
  15. Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

    Dalot and Regulion along with EtH saying something about us playing a different way, makes me think we could possibly see a diamond.
