  1. Post match vs Fulham

    not exactly a work of art. Hope they get some form back.
  2. ETH and the new owners - how worried are you?

    No disrespect intended but I think we're starting to see potential problems just to invent something to worry about.
  3. Why does Rashford keep pointing at his head™?

    i can buy that.
  4. How would you rate the signing of Casemiro?

    it was a perfect signing for what was needed to stabilize the defense and upgrade the level of play and leadership. But as several posters have mentioned there has to be the next signing to take over because he is getting up there.
  5. Would you keep Shaw and Varane as first choice centre-back pairing?

    Shaw at LB. The last 2 games just highlight the lack of depth behind Varane and Martinez. I will say that Maguire was excellent at the WC and maybe merited a start in one of these 2 games if he was fit. Attack loses a lot of its cohesiveness with Shaw at CB and Dalot out.
  6. Would you be okay with state or state-backed ownership?

    United will be sold to a state and used for sport washing. Who is going to outbid a sovereign wealth fund backed by oil? Anyone think a Glaser will turn down an extra billion or 2 based on moral grounds? Or maybe the FA will get involved? I'll be done at that point. I don't like the current...
  7. What's your mid-season assessment?

    I feel there is a solid foundation and a defined way they want to play. Need more/better/something forwards. Watching Martial today I think he suits the style of play better but again we miss chances. Starting XI look very tired last 3-4 games. Fresher legs and I don't think we drop points...
  8. Dubai a contender to buy Man Utd

    This 100%. There should be no allowance for states or their minions to own sports teams.
  9. Post match vs Arsenal

    A long way to go still, but great to see where they're heading. Eriksen's value is just massive.
  10. Can Dalot/Telles turn it around like Evra/Vidic

    Don't see it. I would like to be wrong because both are serviceable players, but not at vidic / evra level.
  11. US Men's National Team Discussion

    No Joke. I had to check that I wasn't watching replays of MUFC matches from 3-4 months ago watching these last few qualifiers. What a load of crap. Canada down their best player, chance to really cement a place in the WC and nothing. Absolutely nothing.
  12. Romelu Lukaku | Chelsea

    Tuchel should drop him for Liverpool not matter the interview. His scoring record in big matches leaves much to be desired if I remember correctly.
  13. Luke Shaw | 2021/22 Performances

    Yah, he does need to be pushed a little. No doubt seeing Telles out there pushed his buttons.
  14. Ralf Rangnick | ex-interim manager | does anyone rate him?

    I'm not sure how solid they were defensively. A more clinical team might have punished them a few times. Signs of improvement to be sure, but a lonnng way to go.
