Thats all very reasonable.
Replacing DDG with Henderson would be a start. We should also add a pacey CB and 2 top quality energic B2B to replace Matic/Fred/McT. The latter will improve us both defensively and attacking wise. We currently play Fred and McT as the base of a 4-2-3-1. That's ridiculous considering that the two had produced the combined assist sum of....erm....2. To put things into perspective AWB (a defensive WB) has 7 assist while 'quality registas' such as Philip Neville and Robbie Savage are all above the 20 assist + EACH.
And needs an assistant who is specialist in attacking patterns to help him break teams. He also needs an assistant who prepare the team tactics before every game so we dont go into games already loosing 2 nil. All in all, he needs a new manager who does the work and he only takes credit for that so that his fan boys be happy.
I happen to agree, with a decent manager we could def challenge, not win but at least hang around until the latter weeks, just think Ole comes up short
I'm not sure what the point is in naming players ex-teams, they've got to come from somewhere? Is it because Hull just doesn't sound as exotic as Lens?
Grealish almost exclusively plays on the left side and hardly ever goes over to the right. We're crowded on the left with Bruno, Rashford, Martial, on the other hand we have only AWB trying to do some attacks from the right. Grealish is not an answer to that problem.
This and the dippers were smart to sell a luxury player in Coutinho for a ridiculous price to address other glaring needs in the squad. Similarly, we have Pogba but have missed the boat on maximizing his sale price.
Please tell me you didn't really just try to suggest that we're currently better than City ...
City a couple of beatings of poor teams the last two weeks aside haven't exactly looked red hot this season.
Let's see how tomorrow goes!
That is true but the way city is playing it's getting exactly the results needed against the smaller opposition's with some consistenty that united simply doesn't show regularly. I am a bayern fan and I can tell you one thing. With pep you don't win against the best teams in Europe but you surely dominate the league which has less quality than the CL overall. I think the way city and it's players combine with Guardiola surely isn't a CL winning mixture. But it's definetly one keeping united behind them every single season.
I'd play Tuanzebe over the other 2 so maybe you're right.
You're more offended than the guy that I replied to
.I’m not. I’m telling you that everyone have different opinion and your opinion is not the only one matter here.You're more offended than the guy that I replied to
I realize that but Fernandez is right footed, Oli was looking to acquire another attacking midfielder, to play high off the pitch, but he got Va Der Beek instead. (A problem at United, Woodward brining in players that aren't on the managers list, I'm glad he is here though, because I knew Pogba was going to leave)
Our squad is full of winners' medals. You are being overly pessimistic.
Players were coming from is what I’m not sure why that even matters. Van Dijk was one of the best centre back in the league at Southampton, he was highly rated at Southampton. Even higher rated than Aldeweireld before his move to Spurs.
It doesn't matter what manager it will be, overpaid serial losers are still riddling the squad and can just drop clangers and walk away free of any blame.
United lack a consistent level of player quality. The talent might be there, but the consistency of talent and output is a huge question mark. Martial did a good job as the 9 last season, had a terrific form after the restart but was stone walled versus Sevilla in the semifinal. This season so far is his worse form at United running on three months. Rashford hasn't kicked on as a player. He's actually been decent from the right actually. Greenwood has played okay, but he had a start stop season. He has to get going if Cavani cannot start twice a week (he shouldn't). But one of the most difficult things to do in sports is to perform at a high level year in year out, keep that drive and output. 3 of the 4 primary attackers are in that situation - have to keep that previous year's level and in most cases, improve on it.
These overpaid serial losers saved the job for Ole ton of times now. Whenever he's under pressure they turn on and keep in job. Enough basing of the players. Most of them are doing their best. If they don't really care, Ole would have been sacked several months ago.
And? Ole can get sacked at any time. It won't make a difference to the scenario as the new manager can come in and the players know they can shirk responsibility and play to the crowd who ultimately absolve them. Their job is to turn up on match day and win games. When they win you can't go "they saved the manager" and when they lose say "stop basing the players" those two scenarios cancel each other out. This is the sort of responsibility shirking that I'm talking about, people jumping to their aid to shout about the manager and absolve them. They're well paid professionals at one of the biggest clubs in the world, not a pub team of tradesmen that need wrangling to turn up on match day not half pissed up from work drinks the night before.
The number #10 role is largely dead. Most teams now opt for the extra security and flexibility of a midfield three over a sole creative AM with a double pivot behind him.
