But it's true, if he is at the top of the box and someone passes to him with his back against the ball, he'll try a flick pass, hoping someone is there. And it's great he can do long passes across the field, but that's par for the course. Maybe it's the lack of wide players not knowing how to...

Bruno's is a player who will do 9 terrible things in a game (flick pass to no one, losing the ball, flick pass to no one again, slow on the ball, etc.) but then have that one moment of a perfectly weighted pass or that flick pass that does work. And for some reason that one play that leads to a...

How do you "fluffed it" when you have limited attacking options. Ronaldo isn't what he used to be, no Martial, Rashford for limited time. This team has only scored 3 goals three times this season, we're lacking the ability to score goals.

Is he willing to take the paycut to get goals in the UCL? That's the question Mendes is probably putting towards CR7...1 year, score goals in the UCL and then jump to a bigger club next year.

I don't think any of the players are upset with him regarding his contract status. If anything, they want him to stand firm and hold the line with his contract. Changing his contract suits the owners and not the players, if Frenkie submits to their whim, now it only gives the owners more power...

Felt bad for the young kids being made to leave...they just want to a watch a game, but their father needs to "stick it to Glazers" and leave at the 73 minute, after buying tickets and concessions. :confused:

I loved watching Rashford a few years ago, as I'm sure most of us did. He was trending the right direction and then COVID hits and he takes his status of becoming a footballer super star and applies it to helping children and everyone loves it. He plays through Euros with an injury, placing...

So many issues to tackle. You have players trying cute one touch passes, that often get broken up, because the one touch is a behind them or a flick, that if works out, would look pretty, but often times doesn't work out. You have players dribbling into open space, and rather than try a pass...

Pull the offer. He isn't Tom Brady where he is going to continue to improve with age. He breaks down yearly, misses numerous games and can't be relied on to be healthy for a full season. Take the money elsewhere.

Sancho doesn't fit the style of play. Our style of play is "individual brilliance" which is a nice saying, but ultimately will never succeed against strong and better coached teams. "Individual brilliance" works fine against a Watford, Aston Villa, Leeds, but when teh team needs to play as one...

He should sit next game, but Ole won't have the nerve to do it.

7 games into a three year contract. He isn’t going anywhere until 2022. And who is going to replace him? I’m in the OleOut bot as well but no idea who can replace him mid season.

With Ronaldo up top, I'd love to see Ole, use Rashford as a super sub to start, have him replace Sancho/Greenwood around the 65/70 min mark. Use his speed against tired legs; a few years ago when Martial and Rashford were used as interchanging LW, it was great, Rashford would start and Martial...

The problem with Sancho (which is a good problem) he doesn't sit with the ball or try one flicks. He moves and looks to pass it someone for a quick one-two, the issue is no one on the team runs with them. We have such a static style of play. If it's not a counter-attack, we slowly move the ball...

I'm desperate to see him succeed, but I haven't seen anything to make me believe he should be a first team player. He looks slow, his passes tend to go backwards, I do see him making some great runs, but with our mentality to pass sideways or backwards, he is often missed. Not sure this is the...
