Bah! I was doubtful after the 5-1 that other teams would let us waltz through their midfield as easily as they had.
I was right. The only other team to do so was (checks notes) Leeds.
Oh, and Spurs
United sign Jadon Sancho - Dortmund CEO Waltzing No More!
- Thread starter Tom Van Persie
- Start date

Hope this bump comes back to bite him in the arse! And I’ve got a feeling it will rather soon
Sancho needs to have the ball close to the opposition penalty area. He'd fit in better at those clubs with lots of possession on the edge of the box, he's not made for the Man Utd fast break style Solskjaer used. He'll never run the length of the pitch to score a goal, he needs to be part of an ensemble moving the ball, and themselves, quickly.
Indeed.
It’s great that people have opinions, but how people can predict Sancho’s future performances so confidently based on last season’s is absolutely bonkers.
I think it’s fair enough to wonder whether he has the physicality or the drive, but he’ll be in good hands with ETH. I could never understand how he was supposed to fit in an Ole team.
I thought it resembled Alex Pereira at first, but it’s probably meant to be Amad(eus (Mozart, of course)).
Yes, and if anyone remembers the optimism of the potential of these young players, and the normal inconsistency of youth, maybe it’s not so strange that we can hope to be number one and finish in sixth place..
A who's who of failure
Let’s hope it continues to age like milk, and that some of them turn out as the finest soohisticated cheese.
Our team have struggled to break teams down with a low block for years now. Also, every player in the world looks better when playing against 'wide open defences'.
i think a style of play like ETH is going to bring will get the best out of Sancho as he'll get the ball further up the pitch and in positions where he thrived in Dortmund
I wouldn't have minded to cash in on him this summer if we could but I guess that's off the cards , hopefully he'll make it as the talent is there obviously.
It's crazy to me that some people can't see that certain environments and systems are impossible for anyone to perform in... Last year is literally irrelevant for me in evaluating Sancho. It's irrelevant in evaluating most players tbh.
This thread got bumped by someone why was wrong, yet thought they were right??!
Strange.
Strange.
He quoted himself as well, poor forum form.
