  1. Harry Maguire | 2023/24 Performances

    Played well and showed intent. Still had a couple of shifty moments. Not sure if he’s improved or we’ve regressed that he’s not our worst problem anymore.
  2. Jose Mourinho | Sacked by Roma

    Teams generally have a good post-Jose bounce. Roma are doing well, Spurs finished in the top 4 the season after Jose left and even we had a great run which got Ole the job permanently. He has become more of a mythical being who some fans want to fawn over but his performances since 2015 have...
  3. City vs Chelsea (FA Cup): could a possible Treble dwindle down to a single trophy pursuit by Sunday?

    Don't think Chelsea could've envisaged better conditions to play City. Chelsea have had their season high performance with a 6 days break vs City who would've had 3 days on the back of a morale shattering and energy sapping penalty shootout loss. Let's hope Chelsea win and Palmer gets a...
  4. Stories of ticket price increases across the country

    It's so difficult to get tickets even if there are some available. As a person new to the UK, if it hadn't been for the ticket thread here at the Caf, I would've had to fork out 400 quid for the Corporate seats or not watched a game at all.
  5. In hindsight, Mourinho was right about a few things?

    Of course, Mourinho was right about some things. Then so was Moyes, LVG and Ole as well. Rangnick was actually the one who spoke most candidly and would probably have taken better steps to get us out of this ridiculous squad situation.
  6. Donny van de Beek | 2023/24 Performances | Frankfurt (loan)

    There have been a few isolated moments where I felt that he did well in Ole's first season. Have a vague memory of him at Newcastle away when we won 4-1 after scoring 3 goals post 85th minute. Donny had come in and was gelling well with Bruno and Mata with quick interchange of passes. We've...
  7. Marcus Rashford | 2023/24 Performances

    Across his United career, more than half the time has been spent as out of form or lacking motivation. Why should he lack motivation? Did the club make him one of the highest paid player for him to lose motivation? Even if the manager is out of his depth, there's no reason for Rashford to show...
  8. Jarrad Branthwaite

    Completely agree. On Van De Ven too who looked quite imperious but had a horrible game against Newcastle. Put yourself in shoes of Man United, what would be the price we should be willing to pay for Branthwaite? I think that anything less than 50 million in the current market would be good but...
  9. Jarrad Branthwaite

    Fair enough. You would've watched him more than me. I was incredibly impressed with him especially when Everton went on that decent run after the initial points deduction but off late, there have been a few awkward moments. Apart from the Palmer nutmeg yesterday, Isak turned him quite easily and...
  10. Jarrad Branthwaite

    In terms of left footed CBs, Branthwaite seems like the obvious one for the future. He has more than proved that he has the potential but he's not a world beater yet. Also, playing in a Dyche system may hinder his growth from a big team fitment perspective. They play too deep so we can't know...
  11. The race to not qualify for Europe (previously: Our last seven fixtures in the league this season)

    Hopeful/Deluded/Optimistic spin on things. Villa are 11 points ahead of us with one more game played. Given how Top 4 chasing teams, particularly those involved in Europe, end their seasons, it's not unthinkable that Villa will drop 8-9 points in their last 6 games. Similarly, Spurs have some...
  12. Premier League Gameweek 30-32

    Will say it again. The only clear and obvious thing should be the penalty, not the error within referee’s decision. Another shocking decision today given in the name of the clear and obvious error or lack thereof. They’re just legitimising diving now.
  13. Jonny Evans | 2023/24 Performances

    He maintained a clean sheet.
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Rashford, Martial, Bruno, Maguire, Lindelof, Wan Bissaka, Shaw among the most have been at the club for more than 5 years. Why do they not deserve to be binned? This includes 3 or 4 guaranteed starters. I would start with disposing them off along with other overpaid players like Varane, Sancho...
