    And then looked so blasé when he finally did get up. Unforgivable.

    I honestly don't Amorim has had much choice. Chido doesn't look ready (and look at the doomsaying in the Amass thread to see why it's rarely good to rush youngsters) and Zirkzee, for all his qualities, is anything but clinical (and was much better playing in one of the 10 positions.)
  3. Harry Maguire | 2024/25 Performances

    I think he's been ok, but I think De Ligt has been better from a defending standpoint, and I think we lost a lot once De Ligt got injured. All that being said, I have a huge amount of respect for Maguire, given what he's come back from. I think one more year will do and then it'll be best for...

    Hard to say whether he is or isn't putting in his max effort, but if it happens that he isn't, then he should be jettisoned right away.
  5. Harry Maguire | 2024/25 Performances

    A winning goal getting the most applause. Imagine that...

    Satire?
  7. Matthijs de Ligt | 2024/25 Performances

    I like Maguire and he’s had some iconic moments this season, but I think De Ligt has been better.
  8. Matthijs de Ligt | 2024/25 Performances

    Well I’ve never met him, but him captaining Ajax as a teenager coupled with what you see in the pitch: working his socks off, cajoling/encouraging teammates all point to a good leader.
  9. Ruben Amorim - Manchester United Head Coach | Locked during matches

    I’m pretty sure Amad will be fine in one of the 10 spots.
  10. Rasmus Højlund | 2024/25 Performances

    Well you’re obviously not serious, but yes he sucks.
  11. Matthijs de Ligt | 2024/25 Performances

    I feel we’ve missed the leadership qualities of De Ligt. A few months back he was performing very well, and despite Maguire’s Euro heroics, I think we’ve missed De Ligt.
  12. Harry Amass | 2024/25 Performances

    Agreed. This is why it's so ridiculous when people say things like 'play Amass over Dalot, he can't be any worse'. Well yes he actually can, and you also create the parallel problem of potentially destroying a youngster's confidence.

    Threadmarks: Man Utd 0:2 West Ham

    Very disappointing today - there was that moment after the Hojlund miss where he got the ball in our half and just hoisted a completely speculative shot towards their goal, in some weird, vain attempt at catching their keeper out. It came nowhere close. I like Bruno and think he's been...

    You watch him today and you ask yourself how would it make any kind of sense to pay him anywhere near 100k/week. You can understand someone like Luis Diaz at Liverpool demanding that kind of salary but that's because he's proven over multiple seasons to be an integral part of his team's success...

    That's what I found infuriating.
