  1. What is your order of priority for our transfer needs?

    1-left wing back. We only really have Dorgu, and he should be a second option. Need a starter here. 2-goalkeeper: individually, replacing Onana with a top 4 goalkeeper in the league is a net 10 points imo. Definitely largest individual effect. 3-Central midfield. Getting Mbeumo probably...
  2. Scott McTominay | Napoli | Scudetto Winner | Serie A's MVP!!

    Think the loss of Mctominay is the biggest contributing factor to how bad we ve been this season. Not just in terms of loss of goals, but in terms of importance for the dressing room. If he was good enough/ an undisputed starter he d have been a good captain. He'd also give players a bollocking...
  3. Brentford vs Manchester United

    Nor Amas imo. He was never going to win the header, complete mismatch. Very unlucky set of events
  4. Brentford vs Manchester United

    the timing could not be worse
  5. Joshua Zirkzee | 2024/25 Performances

    Because with Rashford/ Garnacho playing as Inside forwards and Bruno capable of running past the striker, a typical 9 would be starved of service, as we saw with Hojlund.. You re better off having a Firminho/younger Benzema/prime Rooney type deep lying striker that allows runners off him. An...
  6. Everton vs Manchester United

    Might be mistaken but I think Garnacho has missed the most big chances in the league this season. He's also, by far, the worst chance creator (not in totals, but in opportunities for creation missed). Too bad he's the only one who seems to have a skill for always being in the thick of it.
  7. Erik ten Hag | Bayer Leverkusen Manager

    Arsenal followed the Quantitative Model that Liverpool under Edwards and Brighton have advanced. You have teams of Mathematicians, Statisticians, AI engineers and Rocket Scientists running advanced simulations for how certain profiles might fit into a system. Along with the statistical analysis...
  8. Mcfredinay

    Think Mctominay was massively underrated on here. Think he s the type of player Fergie would have in the squad till retirement imo. 6 ft 5, covers as much ground as anyone we've had, quite good In both boxes ( we could really find a use for him on set pieces, remember him always guarding the...
  9. Israel - Iran and regional players

    Probably not. The place bombed, unless my memory betrays me, was occupied (I think rented) by Southern refugees. All strikes north of beirut so far have been targeting Shiite refugees rather than Christian/ Sunni/Druze locals. Most refugees are civilians though, still quite inhumane.
  10. Manchester United vs Barnsley

    He was also a nailed on starter when fit for a good 5-6 years for a few title winning teams on the wing. Also was a physical freak, which Antony isn't

    Well said
  12. Anthony Martial | 2022/23 Performances

    This is the type of statements I find reprehensible. It's not like Martial was no longer up for the game, he was unlucky with Dabitzer falling on his knewww he s probably seeing his united future collapse in front of him. A top level athlete who's body is failing them is a travesty, especially...
  13. Anthony Elanga | 2022/23 Performances

    Elanga's a much better dribbler, and can use his left foot. Dan James was a better player though, did have some end product
  14. Rooney Praises the Glazers

    To be fair he didn't even say they did well for the club. He just said they did fantastically well ( a 100 mil investment into a 5 bil + return, means they did very well for themselves ), and are hated by the fans and need to leave. Maybe Rooney isn't as thick as most on here seem to think...
  15. Club Sale | It’s done!

    Elon would out-Boehly Tedd Boehly and bring a circus the likes of which have yet to be seen. We'd be up in arms calling for Eddy back
