  1. Bruno is underrated thread

    How is anything I wrote a rant? I outlined his qualities and gave a plausibe and pragmatic outline of the future. Why would that be a rant? I've been in quite a few. It is the Manchester United forum and as the team is playing pretty shitty these days, obviously the mood around here isn't...
  2. Bruno is underrated thread

    Great argument. I'm sure, fecking KDB watches every minute of United and spends his freetime analyzing our team performance. Bruno has qualities, not many others have. His vision and quickness of execution is 2nd to none. And his fitness and injury record is as good as it gets. But there are a...
  3. Bruno Fernandes | 2023/24 Performances

    Definitely. In theory a midfield of Mainoo and Casemiro behind him sounds not too shabby. But we have to keep in mind that the current trend in football is stacking the midfield with players. Be that inverted fullbacks or charging CBs. On the ball, Bruno has a lot of valuable qualities. Against...
  4. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Those two are both off the ball :) I agree though, our prime way to attack seems to be to try to force errors in the opposition buildup by pressuring them early, when the ball is won, we try to attack very swiftly. When they manage to play around the first line, we are going to sit a little...
  5. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Mate, if all you understood when talking about criticising players was "I don't like him" then we don't have to talk further. Of course all those things are connected and of course we have to trust Ineos to do their job BUT again - this is exactly what we did all those last years - put all our...
  6. Bruno Fernandes | 2023/24 Performances

    The question is, is this really going to work in 2024 anymore. The whole idea of having a ten who is then supported by a double pivot isn't the most recent and many sides move away from it. Also, Bruno for all his qualities misses a few key skills for that position, i.e. dribbling and touch...
  7. Bruno Fernandes | 2023/24 Performances

    I was about to say the same. But I guess, there isn't too much value in chipping into this thread today. His fans are on the watch after an admittedly good game and the circles have started once again
  8. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Well duh' those players have been picked by "those managers and the hierarchy above them" as well. You act as if those things have to be exclusive but to me it is obvious that we are failing in every aspect. Yet some people are seemingly fine with taking the players out of the spotlight giving...
  9. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Out of interest - what is the ideal part actually? I mean, what difference does it make if he gets the sack now or after the season? Or did I miss something about us having lined up a successor already? I see where you are coming from but I think it is obvious that the bolded line of thought is...
  10. Scott McTominay | 2023/24 Performances

    Yeah thats definitely proof that he isn't. Thanks for bringing it up. It is such an important factor to distinguish whether he is just shit technically or whether he is the shittiest element in our midfield. Really really important.
  11. Bournemouth vs Manchester United

    It is so disheartening... it is so visible how often our players only think exactly about the one next move they make, noone at least tries to think a head. Apparently, it is better to release Hojlund to the left channel on his own with a lobbed pass, where he will be on his own instead of just...
  12. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    I like that he never stops working for the team. Today though, nothing really worked out for him and I only noticed him in slightly disappointing scenes. The whole team wasn't really great but still. It was a hard opponent though, lets see where the journey takes him. Still happy he is in the...
  13. Diogo Dalot | 2023/24 Performances

    I thought he was alright today. A couple of good moments but overall nothing really new here. I think, he has been one of the best of our players this season. Issue is that this doesn't really mean much (as it used to before) because the season was as shit as it gets. Lets hope he continues this...
  14. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    Captain Moan-a-lot, the ghost of former Casemiro and Ex-captain Harry after not getting sold last summer. Thats certainly a very progressive step. Personally, I too have lost faith in ETH at this point. I think, he put his plans onto the wrong people, he overestimated the squad and he is really...
  15. Diogo Dalot | 2023/24 Performances

    Yeah you're probably right. But hindsight is always a bit 20/20. Hopefully, he'll learn from it and react to it next time he's in a similar position. I thought, the winger did really well in the situation too, he was fresh, Dalot probably was a bit tired by then.
