  1. The big picture: A breakdown of Liverpool's transfer-strategy and (dis)similarities to us

    Great piece, you can only give credit to Liverpool to how they turned around their squad over the past seasons. Still I believe it is better to have a strong structure around a manager who ensure consistency and a vision for the club, play style, and type of players (and manager) attracted, in...
  2. Champions League Semi Finals (30th April - 8th May)

    I also have the feeling Liverpool will kick Barca's ass tonight, and we'll see an Ajax-Liverpool final in the end. Now that would be quite something.
  3. Non-Champions League Transfer list

    Fully agree, this is a bigger issue than one year without CL. We look on the decline and lacking vision. It will take a few years and serious commitment from the club to turn this around.
  4. Getting two wingers

    Lozano is not near the level United should be looking at, vastly overrated player in my opinion Let’s move away from these expensive but still not good enough signings, but break the bank for true potential and players that immediately improve our first XI
  5. VAR - Not the hero we want, the one we need

    I like the implementation of VAR, it’s making the game more fair, reduces diving and whining to the ref. And I believe it actually adds to the drama, especially for TV viewers, look at the City Spurs game. Of course it can be improved, especially in the speed of decision making by refs, who...
  6. Do we want to lose to City?

    I will always put my own club’s success above the success of others No
  7. Ajax | Champions League semi-finalists

    De Jong, De Ligt, Tagliafico will leave for sure. Hopefully they can convince the rest to stay, which is a realistic case (maybe Ziyech or Neres leaves as well). Remember that they declined 50mil for Neres in winter Anyway, need to look forward to Groningen away now, crucial game for the...
  8. CL/EL Semi Finals Draw | United draw Celta (away leg first)

    Ajax took 4 points from Celta in the Group stages and was the better team in both games, so no, I dont think Ajax is clearly the weakest side of the 4 semi finalists. But yes on paper this is United's competition to lose, best team by a mile.
  9. Watford vs Manchester United

    We lack footballing ability in the squad now, it is too much power. Fellaini should never ever be near the squad, just isnt good enough to play on 6, a crucial position. But yea, for now substitute Herrera and perhaps Mkhi in and we should see a big improvement. Next to that we should press...
  10. Manchester United vs Manchester City

    Going to be interesting this game. Pep has played a Fernandinho-Silva-De Bruyne midfield in the first games this season, if we use a power midfield we should be able to outpower them: play Carrick and Schneiderlin with Pogba in front of them. And then two quick wingers and Ibra, so Mkhi and...
  11. Manchester United vs Chelsea

    Time for some fresh legs... Depay and/or Pereira in please
  12. Manchester United vs Chelsea

    Great lineup, glad to see Blind & Smalling back at CB. In my preferred lineup I had this but Depay for Mata, would have preferred his speed and power and ability to stretch the game. But great lineup nevertheless, looking forward.
  13. Manchester United vs Chelsea

    / I love this lineup. Thing is that I'd prefer having Blind-Smalling at centreback. But than we would need to have Young at LB, which means having Rooney in the lineup as well... --------------------De Gea Damian Smalling --- Blind Young -------------------Schneiderlin ------Schweinsteiger...
  14. Crystal Palace vs Manchester United

    It should've been Martial running for that chance instead or fecking Rooney...
  15. Manchester United vs Manchester City

    De Bruyne is nowhere to be seen today
