Goater is defined as a youth player tbf but that doesn't excuse Blackmore... also Rafael I thought was? It's been a while but I thought both he and Fabio were considered as such after moving but again, old age and all that... admittedly I did sit there and struggle for forwards and left backs. I...

It really does depend on which way you want to clarify the terms honestly but I guess putting our academy players into lineups to see where the Class 92 and since would figure is at least for me the only way to reconcile our "best" products. 4-3-2-1 (GK, DR, DC, DC, DL, DM, MC, MC, AMR, AML...

And that's fair enough, so let me try and address your questions directly (1) Given the plethora of data at the disposal of managers today and the general outlook of sports casters and fans alike, I do agree that in the short term that a player led system with less cog like efficiency is...

Ok, so lets try this again. Remember for those who claim I'm using unnecessary verbiage I have 3 posts a day.... I'm a newbie... thus trying come up with an argument and then defend it as much as I can whilst not attempting to write an actual small thesis is actually somewhat difficult. Further...

One could argue that the game hasn't evolved at all and sadly don't have the ability to respond more today after this post but lets look at the rudimentary elements of each of the big clubs in England and former counterparts in European Football. Guardiola - Pep was a defensive midfielder who...

You're right that I do jump to conclusions and I'd even accept that they may be an overreach, but without you pointing to specifics I'll not be able to defend them individually and remember that it's a forum where I just posted a huge block of text, nobody needs a + b = c to understand why I...

I've said this before but I'll say it again, some people, many people on this forum and across our fan base want United to play with an objective system. They want player X to pass to player Y in a certain situation, to move from place A to place B when given the ball whilst player Z moves to...

West Ham will do a lot of teams at their end honestly, they're a strong outfit. Referee was awful and Ronaldo deserved the penalty in the second and to me, the first too. We played better than some are going to say, there is an obvious hole still in the middle though and I truly believe that...

Gallaghers first touch is sloppy and his second oof. He'd get slaughtered on here if he was one of ours

Gallagher barely getting the ball in the first 40 and then skying it with a dodgy second touch. Welcome to Palace

Spurs look clumsy as hell, they shouldn't draw this game but the way they're going they'll lose it. Shame for Dier too, pulled off early and it didn't look at all good.

We didn't ever have him though, not really. Phantom of a player, on his day unplayable otherwise he is a liability

:angel: here is me trying to defend myself and you're just on a windup :eek:

Oh no I agree, just worth saying that where my expectations are for the team are just as much off the pitch as on. The lads seem to get that, so in time I hope the wives do as well. The building blocks of a team come from the home, we lost a lot of that foundation when the likes of Ferdinand and...

Further in the champions league, more consistent and comfortable league performances and a set of players who are starting to gel not just on the pitch but outside of it. I know it's old fashioned now but it would be nice to see some of the WAGs bonding and have that family feeling that I came...
