i must have heard it differently, the comments on Kane and Rice were reasonable, they would be game-chaning signings whereas the ones we made werent. I didnt see that as criticism of those players, just that we are stretching our budget to make it fit this season.
I agree with this, but its also why I often have to watch our games with the commentary on mute. I think he likes to shield himself from the pain by really going for the team on commentary, getting ahead of the embarrassment by leading the criticism. Sometimes unfairly.
That’s an odd take. He’s pretty measured and routinely owns up to being wrong.
I feel like he just fans the fan flames these day as a full time job, we were never in for Rice or Kane - I’m sure we’d have loved to sign them but what he’s saying is the same as me saying United should have signed Mbappe, it was never on but I don’t then have thousands of angry fans see that and blame the club for then not signing Mbappe.
Well yeah that's the big issue not EtH as far as i'm concerned but i don't think Mount is going to add a lot of goals. He will aid chance creation but knowing our lot it will still be a monumental effort to actually stick one of those chances away.
He scored plenty at Chelsea.
33 goals in 195 games is alright/decent. I think he'll do ok this season and will add some creativity and good workrate but i'd be surprised if he scored that many more than Antony or Sancho last season.
That’s exactly what it is.
I posted the same on the Premier League matchday thread .
This. He’s trying so hard to be popular on Sky for the non-United group that it’s coming across too strong.
That's exactly what he is, with his man of the people chat as he simultaneously buys up half of Manchester. Says whatever he thinks people want to hear.
I couldn't agree more with your first point. Sick of seeing him brown-nose Liverpool whilst the likes of Carragher and Souness can't wait to stick the knife in with United.
Yeah I think he would too but he definitely gets a feeling of satisfaction seeing United’s woes over the last 10 years, if that’s how he feels fine I don’t care. But it seriously pisses me off seeing this constant arse licking of Liverpool, this constant trying to be liked by fan bases that can’t stand him. It does my head in. And these narratives do make a difference, referees and officials are human and are influenced by what they hear, proof of that can be seen by the fact we haven’t had one decision go our way since the first game of the season. If Neville really wanted the best for United he would stop sucking up to our biggest rivals, start creating a narrative against then, can you imagine what the pundits would say if United had 115 charges for cheating against them. This pro city pro arsenal pro Liverpool stance that he has is doing United no good whatsoever.
what an incredibly stupid comment.
Not really, I understand completely what the poster is saying.
Salford City won though
He’s been buttering up to Liverpool fans for years, for whatever reason I don’t know. He’s a strange fellow
I’m sick of seeing spurs and Newcastle comments to compare to us. Who gives a feck how they are doing, we should be well ahead of these 2 teams and not even be bothered what is said about them. A team can be flying while we are in crisis, there’s levels and standards have gone out of the window it seems.
You thought Spurs weren't good today?
well having watch the games this weekend, there's a gulf the size of the Grand Canyon between us - look how good we made Newcstle look
