You're killing me here. I simply don't want to believe that's true. I'm going to hold on to the goal Martial scored against Chelsea and believe a cheap Chicharito impression is not beyond the current crop of United strikers.
sorry mate. I guess I have finally fallen over to the dark side of being negative about everything as a coping mechanism. Those crosses were begging to be tapped in, and nobody better than Ole to do that, hopefully he can drill it into Rashford and Martial.Don't even need that level of quality mate: Jermain Defoe at 36 would've scored a hat-trick on Saturday off of those crosses.
Let us pray...
4 games... though I do like him a lot. But I think long term he'll be a useful squad player rather than a starter. We'll see how it pans out though.
The secpnd half showing he had drove me insane. He put so many balls into the box, and a lot of them were good as well. Driven, good height and not overhit. And our entire attack just stands in the box going like "hit me right on the forehead cause I can't move". If we get more movement in the box he's gonna get plenty of assists. Love the kid. Pure determination and just fecks everyone over with his pace. If he's gonna play more on the right he should get more support from our attackers and midfielders so he can use his pace more. We're still such a leftsided team.
I didn't know Rashford was so bad at headers

1 dribble completed? what sort of rubbish is that
Tbf to him, he was fouled whenever he beat the players, so chances of him completing the dribble is low.1 dribble completed? what sort of rubbish is that
We already have a potentially top top striker in Martial and are we forgetting he scored a tap in from a cross in the first match? There's no desperation unless you think Rashford will start at 9 full time this season.
I guess it depends what they count as a dribble, but I remember in the Southampton game alone he made at least 3 dribbles passed an opponent. meh.
When Pepe needs a dribble, James simply accelerates and runs past the defender. Running very quickly past someone is not a dribble (although the outcome may be the same - beating a player).
I guess that wasn't completed as he was hacked down, which makes the stat completely useless.
No, he was fouled. So that's not a completed dribble. He won 11 fouls, wonder how many of them are when he already beat the defenders.
I'd say his "fouls won" stat is pretty impressive. And would be even better if dickhead referees didn't keep incorrectly booking him for diving.
Yep... as an aside, that's how VVD got his "never has been dribble past this season" statistics... (as well as being a great defender)
Agree he doesnt have to dribble at all, first few yards he easily gets past the defender just with speed, why need trickery or attempt to do fancy footwork when you are faster than others in simple run?
What do you mean by 'Even Ole'?
I don't think I worded it correctly. I mean even Ole as in 'right now, Ole the 46 year old current United manager, would have scored.' Didn't mean it as a slight at all, I just didn't word it correctly. Ole was a fecking deadly striker.
The man’s 46 years old!
At 46 presumably.
Fair enough - I was just confused because you'd also mentioned other retired/older players (ex. RVN.)
Yeah, reading it back I fecked it up quite badly
what I should have said was: That’s what this version of United has done to us!Yeah, reading it back I fecked it up quite badly
'I was tearing my hair out at the fact not one of our forwards latched on the fact he was putting excellent, dangerous crosses right through the 6 yard box and no one scored a tap in. Unreal, Ruud RVP Rooney Chicarito all would have benefitted from his crossing, even a 46 year old current United manager Ole would have scored at least one on Saturday.'
I blame being too annoyed by the performance
Dude, he's infamous for it. People don't talk about it enough. It's Henry levels of bad, much worse actually. Henry didn't mess up such chances, even with his head.
I actually like all of the new signings. Great attitudes, good qualities and likable characters. Shame they are surrounded by deadwood that I'm sick of already.
Yeah very good. I like the leadership qualities Maguire has shown recently in that he has told the team that they need to show more confidence on the ball and be brave.
