  1. Strategies to get United out of this mess?

    Being on the other side of the world, not sure what the situation is currently, but surely the fitness, conditioning and medical teams need to change. A kick in the gonads is not enough, as a team we have more injuries that any other EPL team and if that’s down to penny pinching by the Tampa...
  2. Post match vs Fulham

    To be fair, the issue comes back to crazy expenditure under Woodward and then plied on by Mirrouh and others. Add that to what we see consistently as poor coaching given the structure we play, it’s obvious that it’s time for big changes. The playing roster needs a clean up and unfortunately...
  3. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    Not sure the wi hers are helping , but if the midfield can get more creative the. Hojlund will thrive. Theoff season and next transfer window is important to strengthen the side , but FFP may well be the problem. Woodward etc still haunts the club.
  4. Rasmus Højlund | 2023/24 Performances

    Anyone that has played as main striker, no matter the standard, always needs complimentary players outside him. Calling Rashford a complimentary player is just wrong, Garnacho is movingin that direction, and Bruno adds a bit. That he has settled in and there is a better system being employed...
  5. Post match vs Newport County

    Not sure how we expect Hojlund to do much, when the wingers and even attacking midfielders look to shoot first before thinking about crossing the ball actually pawing to the main striker. Until the system is used to attack into the box , or hit thr goal line and pull the back into opportunities...
  6. Wigan Athletic vs Manchester United

    Due to time difference I get to watch at times from 2 am to 7.15 am, today was 7,15 am , so up I get and watch the game. Turned it off at half time, watching Rashford show little interest and not use his physical abilities while getting paid an outrageous amount does my head in. McTom is just...
  7. Erik ten Hag - Manchester United manager

    The problem with that thought, is that we have a centre forward but no one providing striker opportunities. Rashford and Anthony just go for it with little thought of providing chances to a striker, Garnacho is considerably better than both of them, yet currently not in the same postcode as a...
  8. Post match vs Nottingham Forest

    Just watched the replay On what planet do you replace a mobile , hard working DM with of all people the most ineffective and position less player at the club, McTominlay. ETH should not be allowed on theteam bus home, and have company with McTom. Anyone that has played any sport is aware of the...
  9. Post match vs West Ham United

    Aren’t wide players supposed to create for the striker, poor Hojlund is a goal scorer and the set up with the midfield and wide players so poor in providing chances, how the heck is anyone in that position supposed to succeed. McTominlay is an enigma, has a streaky game and the manager plays...
  10. Post match vs Liverpool

    Did McTominlay actually do something in the game to be noticed, he has had the 1 game in 10 where he contributes, just not worth including him. Baffling really, guess he’s the worlds best trainer, as he offers so little during any game.
  11. A striker who doesn't score goals, a keeper who costs us points, and a midfielder who is never fit. Our marquee Summer signings have NOT improved us.

    Hojlund is getting no service from the wingers/outside players, how does anyone expect him to score when they don’t seem able to play decent through balls or crossed. Rashford, Anthony , Dalot are just hopeless at setting up a striker. Shaw and Garnacho are a little better , but not in the class...
  12. At what point are we going to acknowledge that we're not an elite side anymore?

    No other team has an absolute pelican like Woodward running the place like a so called Disneyland. The fact that the American idiots let him run the club like a glorified toy shop has resulted in our current position. Those that came after him have about the same amount of gravitas, and signing...
  13. Manchester United vs Bayern Munich

    As nice a person that ETH is, and his record in Eredevise is also good, the EPL is obviously a step too far for him and dare it be said even some of the Serie A managers. Time to reset the team and actually make an effort to move on the overpaid and underperforming players for whatever it costs...
  14. Club Sale | It’s done!

    Perhaps the horse narrative is too far, but the Glazers are stupid in a sense .Rewarding the village idiot of football, Woodward, with almost complete control is the definitive description of football stupid, and allowing Old Trafford to decay in front of them could be added. Doesn’t resile...
  15. Club Sale | It’s done!

    This nightmare started with an argument about the ownership of a horse, for some reason the EPL allowed a leveraged buyout by a family of shopping mall owners using the club itself as security. Since then , sovereign funds have bought several clubs changing the landscape and ultimately the...
