As soon as you put Mbappe in there, it actually dawns upon you how horrific the rest of our team is. Mbappe amongst that lot looks so out of place.

The pressure scenario and psychological side of stepping up is hard to train. The technical striking of a penalty can absolutely be trained.

I understand the sentiment about him being young and needing to be careful with him, but I’m not sure about him being raw and unpolished. Of course he has room to grow, but the brutal facts are he is already arguably our best midfielder right now ahead of our most experienced players who are...

We are so lucky to have so many medical experts on this forum looking out for Martinez. It’s a shame the professional medics at utd are going to ruin his career.

He has to be the clubs best regarded player ever by fans when absent. His reputation and hype seems to flourish when he’s absent. When he’s present there’s nothing but silence from Martial FC.

This has to be parody. After their obscene transfer fees, salaries and contract lengths dished out on mostly dud players, they have been anything but clever in all of this financial engineering. Their poor attempts so far is the resign they are now needing to carry out a repair and damage...

I’ve got a hunch he’s been kidnapped by Dutch Mafia, but the club are trying to keep it under wraps.

He’s done a lot of things wrong, but it’s a bit harsh to blame the ex-US President for that goal.

There are going to be a lot of people here incredibly disappointed when they find out McTominay isn’t going to be selected as a striker. In fact, there’s more chance of winning the lottery than ETH selecting him as a striker. Just because ETH sees him as a midfielder with a goal scoring threat...

To be fair it could have been worse. As bad as Rashford is as a striker, we may just get away with it against Fulham, Forest and Everton, Sheff Utd. The city game would have been tough to take a point even with Hojlund. If we were to lose Hojlund for 3 weeks in the season, these 3 weeks would...

I’ve got a sneaky feeling ETH is going to turn to Forsson or even Diallo as a false 9 which he has hinted towards before.

The risk isn’t really his performance in this match. It’s the fact he might not be ready to make the step up and end up having longer lasting damage on his career if he struggles. There’s always a certain point when a player is “ready” to make that step up. Every player is ready at a different...

Im surprised Newcastle fans are even upset about this. Unless they genuinely believe they are going to miraculously become a big team again. I would have thought they’d just be delighted every day with any position above 18th in the league.

I agree. Like I posted earlier in the thread, our expected position should be 15th based on xG expectations. That’s pretty bad. We can bury our head in the sands and say we’re 6th, but that would be poor development and learning.

I’ve posted above the xG table based on shots for and against. The truth is we have “got away with it” a lot more than other teams. We would be expected to be 15th on average at the moment.
