Lawro: 2-1

So now sancho training away from first team.
ETH doing his thing. Make or break for sancho, hopefully it’s break then remake.

Anyways, Man Utd vs Brighton.

4 - 1

Brighton can setup well and I going for draw

I say 2-2

Man Utd v Brighton x-x 2-3

Man Utd v Brighton

SCORE PREDICTION: 1-2
MU is in turmoil...owners r stingy n not bothered abt winning titles n cups so don't want to buy good instant players like Harry Kane etc..baldy manager having problems with many of the players e.g. injuries, discipline etc whilst Brighton got none of these problems, so they can concentrate to play to win.... score to me shd be MU 1 - Brighton 3

But believe jonesknows' prediction shd be correct as it was the last

Seemed like baldy head is planning to deploy...

610471

martinez, amrabat, mount may not be fit in time for tmrw match, ETH is facing a depleted defence and midfield... and its puzzling that he refuses to select mctom, mctom not good enough for his system?

garnacho to fill in for antony but as AML, rashford is shoehorned to AMR, can help out on the right due to dangerman mitoma. pellistri/hojlund offer options as subs

defence is potentially weaker due to maguire, may concede goal but man u have enough firepower to see off brighton and OT remain a fortress

So now sancho training away from first team...

maybe ETH saw signs of it last season, but gave sancho the benefit of the doubt and sent him on an individual program in holland. now sancho took to social media after the arsenal match... its strike one, get in line or get out, ETH boh pang chance liao

Starts from Reguilon and Hojlund...and surprise McTom starts alongside Casemiro.

0-2 at this point of writing:(

Couldnt believe my own prediction is so spot-on...so 3-1 it is in Brighton's favour as I expected...sigh...this is the end of them for this season, likely to be relegated if this baldy manager don't wake up from his sleep ..

in denial abt all his losses always seeing positives in his side but end up losing the games anyway ...they won the other 2 by fluke with the help of lady luck n not won by the skills of their players...can't defend, can't score goals, lost in midfield to all the teams they played so far this season...cone to think of it he is even worse than OGS...

tonight is another match they lost becos of his poor selection of players like still playing Martinez who we all know clearly hv lost form this season n not starting AWB instead...also sacking a long-serving GK n bringing another clown GK who concedes as many goals as DDG if not more...he is becoming another Mcdisaster...also casemiro has turned lembek this new season...all in all they lost their 3 matches is due to the incompetencies of the manager, players, n owners n scouting dept...so many corners won but not even 1 goal scored ...so predictable to the opposition defenders ...if he doesn't buck up n lose more games it is time he shd be sacked...

Now they r down to 13th on the table

I said season over by Oct. They die die wanna prove me wrong and have made it over by Sep. Lost all three matches which I pointed out as likely to contribute to season being over.

Glad I did not watch any of those matches live. Best decisions I have made these couple of months.

Players these days, just do not have the mentality of Keane and co. where each match is 'going to war'. Will never see Keane accept losing 4 matches consecutively to a small club. Losing even one will see him chomping at the bits at the next one for revenge. This team has lost FOUR on the trot with no response. Even getting thrashed 4-0 once. (The one 'victory' in the cup doesn't count. It was a drab draw.)

I'm out. I might be back if the club changes owners, depending on who they appoint to run the club.

Till then, you guys have 'fun' watching them get slaughtered at the Allianz Arena and all over England.

here are some thoughts after last night's game:

- no clinical finishing, man u created chances but finishing was poor, brighton was so clinical and made their chances count

- ETH underestimated brighton by selecting dalot ahead of AWB, as brighton exploited dalot's poor positioning

- overall good debut by reguilon, defended well and made overlapping runs down the left

- midfielders didn't help out defensively, even though ETH started mctom, brighton carved their way thru at will in midfield. for the goals, all the midfielders were guilty of ball-watching instead of tracking the opponents who made late runs into the box. where is the awareness? where is the communication?

- something is wrong with casemiro. last season was good, this season not. niggling injury? mentality too lepak? domestic issue?

- eriksen had another poor game, slow to press, couldn't influence proceedings, poor set piece delivery

- home debut for hojlund, worked hard by pressing and making runs to trouble the defenders. there was not much supply to him, need to have more wing play and provide crosses. in the 51st min, rashford should have cut the ball across to hojlund instead of going for goal, really wasted

- ETH may wanna reconsider his game plan of pressing the opponent from the first whistle. so much energy spent pressing and chasing the ball in the first half, can see the difference in the 2nd half as performance levels dropped. rashford spent more time walking than pressing, which was half hearted

- not optimistic at all for the next game away at bayern in UCL. will be fortunate to get a point

Probably the only player worth mentioning was Hojlund. He was unfortunate not to have his debut goal as the ball was already out when Rashford played in it.

That goal was good, very composed and cool under the circumstances.

Reguilon have a good game on the attack but I think he didn't do his work well on the left side defensively.

So, as can be seen, Onana is only good in Eredivisie and Serie A. But come to EPL, he is like a puny little boy waiting to be slaughtered.
I mean look at the number of goals he conceded.
DDG should be laughing on his couch choking on pop corns and coke while watching the game. :p

Im not sure what is happening to the other senior team players....they just went MIA after the initial blitz.
I can feel the fear in them when they have the ball....like they panic as to what to do with the ball.

Lastly, Rashford is just being too selfish in trying to score from tight angle.
Many occasions, Hojlund would have been a better option.

Whats with the decision to pull out Hojlund and replaced by Sick Chicken Ma Siao???
Can hear the boos from the OT crowd.

To top it off, the sole goal was scored by academy Hannibal. Brilliant long shot.

- home debut for hojlund, worked hard by pressing and making runs to trouble the defenders. there was not much supply to him, need to have more wing play and provide crosses.

- ETH may wanna reconsider his game plan of pressing the opponent from the first whistle.

Great pin point analysis as usual.

Probably Pellistri / Garnacho to start to provide crosses for Hojlund.

Eriksen, Casemiro think lose steam liao. Age catching up.

Yah, my friend also pointed out the pressing game is too demanding for the red pussies. Here is where WW was sorely missed. He was the link up and ball holder at the final third last season. Baldy head should have kept him.
He got good stamina, good height and most importantly good work rate/ethics.

Garnacho is better as an impact sub, not a starter as he cannot last 100 minutes of fast intense football...he will be tired out by then

Then wat shd they do with the 2 oldies, erikssen n casemiro ??... since they r not contributing to the team now unlike last season...suggest to sell them n get younger n more energetic midfielders to replace them...as for WW he didn't score or assist in scoring any goals....better to get a proper skilled n experienced player for this

Probably the only player worth mentioning ...

Yah, my friend also pointed out ...

onana is new signing, need time to adapt, remb that DDG wasn't a top GK when he joined back then :o

eriksen saw a lot of the ball as a deep-lying playmaker, but he didn't create much, kept passing sideways and he couldn't defend, why select him? actually the 1st teamers should be ashamed of themselves, its ironic that the youngsters and loanees (yes WW too) are the ones who gave spirited performances. losing is part and parcel of the game, but cannot go down without a fight. ETH need to start dropping some players to prove a point

hojlund... how to play to his strengths? given the current situation, i think the best attacking trio are rashford, pellistri and hojlund. rashford/pellistri to attack down the flanks and cross to hojlund. fernandes to be playmaker in the center as he is not pacy, and casemiro-mctom as midfield axis. ETH is currently easing hojlund back into action as he just recovered, if he started martial last night and sub hojlund on, it could have lifted the spirits, instead of boos to worsen the already despondent atmosphere

game plan wise... man u can play normal initially. if they fall behind, or if its a draw at half time, then activate the high press lah... asking the players to press relentlessly for 90mins is too much liao

Like yr positivity bro...but sad to say the baldy manager is out of his depth already much like his predecessors....empty of attacking n defensive ideas which is pulling him n his team down now to 13th position in the table...conceding so many goals n can't even score more than 1 goal now
...going forward like this they will find themselves fighting relegation at the end of the season

But truth be told, he is hampered by the idiotic owners not willing to buy good, prolific n energetic players for him like Harry Kane n Declan Rice etc, etc to score the goals they need to be in top 4

Last night match reveals that Rashford (although playing in his favored AML / FL position), he was very selfish. He have no intention to pass the ball to Hojlund. Except for that one instance when the ball already out which led to the ruled out goal.
Youtube got many comments concuring my view that Rashford is very selfish.
Hence the need to get some pacy player to play in the crosses.

...going forward like this they will find themselves fighting relegation at the end of the season

This would be something new and interesting.
Nonetheless, I will still stand by my favorite club through thick and thin.
Fighting relegation...so be it!

loanees (yes WW too) are the ones who gave spirited performances. losing is part and parcel of the game, but cannot go down without a fight. ETH need to start dropping some players to prove a point

hojlund... how to play to his strengths? given the current situation, i think the best attacking trio are rashford, pellistri and hojlund. rashford/pellistri to attack down the flanks and cross to hojlund. fernandes to be playmaker in the center as he is not pacy, and casemiro-mctom as midfield axis.

I think Sabitzer is also good. I still remember his 2 goals against Sevilla. One shot one kill. He is highly energetic and always full of running, getting into goal scoring position well.

As what I had seen in last night match, it is worrisome as Rashford seemed reluctant to pass the ball to Hojlund. Now that red pussies got a target man, should make full use. I don't like players who live in past glories and just want to play for themselves.

Although McTom got a rare start, he was largely invisible. Maybe it is time to rethink his position in the team. I think he can't play as DMC.

And our new striker… yes he can run fast is a hardworking player… but strikers are valued by how many goals u score… I seriously don’t see him scoring more than 10 goals in the league this season…

Agree with your points on Onana and Mount.

But, I would still want to reserve my judgment on Hojlund.

I feel he was starve of supply. Anyway, I would be happy if he can stroke in 10 this season.:p

Erikssen...yes, u r right in all that u said...he needs to be sold or just be stand-by player on the bench...need to buy someone better than him

Hojlund ...good suggestion...go tell the baldy manager to do it for his own sake as well

Game plan...also good suggestion, tell the baldy to implement it n if it works give u a good treat

We make a few signing for the new season… anyone impressed till now?

No one at all… we dump DDG out… did we get a better keeper? Looks at those 3 goal… I’m very sure DDG can save at least 1 or 2…

Mount? After 2 games injury… but so far when he play does he have any impact on the team? 0%

And our new striker… yes he can run fast is a hardworking player… but strikers are valued by how many goals u score… I seriously don’t see him scoring more than 10 goals in the league this season…

And for the rest of the team total let down… no fighting spirit no character at all… is this the same team who got third last season? I can’t even recognise them at all

God bless my favourite team… reality is man city are still
Miles ahead of us… even Liverpool who have sign not much players are still pulling in the results

Next game bayner trust me kane will punish us and be laughing at us

Yr 1st Para...Yes but only 1...i.e. Hojlund

Para 2...yes, u r right, that guy is a clown hardly able to save any goals commandingly as some really good n experienced keepers can

Para 3...yes, he has not proven anything as yet despite having played a few games already n so easily get injured...the fault is in this baldy manager recruiting such mediocre players who gets injured so fast n easily....most of his new signings cum in injured so cannot play for the club n they start losing games n points.

Para 4...so far he is the best player the baldy manager has recruited n has shown his quality..he alone is hard to score goals if his teammates don't supply him the ball...if he plays with Kane or Declan Rice sure he can score many games...but with this present useless group of players who don't know how to pass the ball to each other, definitely hard for him to score

Para 5 ...yes u r right again...agree with u...me too they r not the team that we saw last season

Para 6...yes agree with u again....they will be fighting relegation to Div 2 soon if they continue playing like this...no attacking ideas, run so slow, don't know how to defend, keep on being robbed of the ball by the opposition etc, etc

Para 7....yes next game they will be thrashed by Bayern if they still don't wake up...Harry Kane will prolly be saying "see that time ask u to buy me u all don't want...I can score many goals for u..
stingy poker...complain I m too old some more...not worth it..now u suffer"

I think Sabitzer is also good ...

to ETH, sabitzer is at most a squad player to cover for suspension/injuries, signing him on loan skirted FFP regulations if any. yes, he is a clever player, his age was perhaps the factor that ETH did not perm sign him

ya, rashford seems to be getting a diva attitude on field, getting more selfish on the ball and not helping out when out of possession, an unhealthy mentality considering he hasn't won the PL or UCL

mctom can only play centrally, in the past when he was deployed on the flank, he would drift towards the center and that flank would be subjected to overload because he was out of posn. he is similar to gerrard/lampard type of box to box MC, but ETH deemed him behind casemiro/mount/eriksen in the pecking order. unless mctom can improve his creativity and dribbling, he will be a sub mostly. or ETH can organise a few closed door friendlies where mctom plays DC or SC, he can have more options after evaluating mctom performance :p

i fear the squad is reverting back to OGS era, where the attackers and midfielders use eye power and left all the defensive work to the defenders, tracking opponents runs and closing down are out of the window liao, its frustrating to watch

Youngsters, trainees, loans and such will run and play their hearts out to prove their worth, show they are worthy of being at Man Utd and deserve more playtime.

As opposed to I am now at Man Utd, I made it, nothing to prove anymore.

I do like how ETH now is wielding the hammer at sancho, casting doubts if he will play for MU again. The sad thing is that if sancho is sold, he will train and run his lungs out to prove MU made a mistake. If only he can do the same now, back down, say sorry, and prove that MU did not make a mistake signing him.

Still stings like new, losing at OT to Brighton.
Lowering expectations till things get stable, just want them to make themselves hard to beat first.

Sometimes it is all about whether the playing style/pace and team tactics formation....etc.

If the player doesn't fit the system, doesn't mean he is bad.

Like Memphis, he was good at PSV...but arrived at Utd...but cannot prove himself.
Then transfer to Lyon. He become good again. Even went to Barcelona later on.

That said, seeing so many left and arrived....the only one I feel sad and unjustified leaving was Ander Herrera.
He was such a beast in midfield....:(

Youngsters, trainees, loans and such will run ...

thats the thing about football, some players' ambition is earn that big contract, do the cash grab and then coast all the way, they still pocket the fat salary regardless the team win or lose. in some way its quiet quitting or lie flat

when ETH said that he was unsure of sancho, can interpret it as ETH being shrewd and leaving the ball in sancho's court: its up to the player himself, if he wants to play, he has to impress during training to warrant a place; if he doesn't want to play, there are other players ready to take over. it was reported that sancho didn't have a good attitude when at man city, guardiola dodged a bullet there and cashed in by letting him leave

and now more bad news... AWB is injured, man u having injury crisis, the fit defenders are dalot, lindelof, martinez and reguilon, with maguire/evans as backup, it will be tough until Dec, hope fortunes can improve come Jan 24

martial should start as SC due to his UCL experience, and pellistri as he is a more natural AMR, rather than shuffling rashford around to accommodate garnacho as AML. hojlund/garnacho/youngsters provide options off the bench

overall not optimistic about man u chances due to the growing injury list, issues and poor form, it would be a good result if they leave with a point

2-1 is the score says FIFA 23 simulation of the game tonight...Bayern goals scored by none other than Harry Kane n the other by Mazdaoui n red pussies replied thru Hojlund ...

Kane scored in the 4th minute due to an error by Lindel-flop n later Rasmus equalised for the red pussies..then Mazdaoui scored Bayern 2nd goal to make it 2-1 in their favour....if true, the baldy manager is on course to being sacked if results don't improve by Christmas..FIFA 23 predictions r usually very accurate

Wow....what a fantastic game!! The Red Devils lost narrowly 4-3!!

Casemiro came alive with 2 very late goals. But still cannot salvage a draw.

But Bayern could have got more if not for the woodwork and also some saves from Onana. Ok....Onana made mistakes in the first half and I think he redeemed himself in the 2nd half.

Hojlund got his first goal....via a pass from Rashford.

ETH should not have taken him off so early though.

I think the Red Devils kind of given up when they were 3-1 down. There is
really a genuine chance to draw or even win the game.

Good entertaining game from both sides!!

Not bad liao loh..was expecting a thrashing from Bayern...it's the 1st game one can see some improvement from some of the players like case who scored 2 goals n the ones who assisted him in scoring...showing some fightback which were missing in the last few games they lost...

but baldy manager continues to make mistakes in the players he substituted n replace them with n the timing of such substitutions like putting Garnacho in only in the 80th minute, n keeping his darling boy Rashford for the whole game when he is not effective...hope they start getting better from this match onwards n a chance to show this by beating Burnley this weekend...onana needs to be benched n bring in another better goalie until he shows improvement n not leaking so many goals...14 so far they counted for him

First goal was a blunder by goalie.
But the other 2, defence was abysmal.

Losing at 4-3 to Bayern is no shame, but in honest, MU flattered to deceive.
Could have been worse if not for the goal post.

I reserved my opinions on Onana. The defence was simply not competent.
Conceding was expected. It would have taken an exceptional goalie to defy the tide.

But still, I still do not understand the rationale for letting DDG go.
He would have been able to make some difference.

This had been discussed before.
ETH wanted to play a high pressing game, hence need a ball playing GK who is able to play as last defender.
Also help launch attack from the back.
DDG is inept on the ball and always prefer to stick to his penalty area.
As such, there is a big gap between him and the defence line,
which can be exploited by opponents.

As to whether this works after signing Onana, the number of goals conceded is a telling sign his tactics doesn't work.

21-09-2023, 05:55 PM

here are some thoughts after this morning's game:

- from the first whistle until the 1st goal, man u weren't intimidated, they were proactive and took the game to bayern, instead of sitting back and absorb pressure

- bayern 1st goal was really facepalm max, onana should have done better. this season man u tend to have a lively start for 20-30mins, but somehow concede a goal, then the team get deflated/demoralised and couldn't get going anymore. ETH gotta work on this mental issue

- for bayern 2nd and 4th goal, the scorers were totally unmarked, wtf? why didn't the midfield track their runs? see the goals conceded this season so far, it has been so easy to score against man u... what is happening? why is the midfield cut thru so easily?

- there was more attacking initiative and goals scored, the issue is after they pulled one back, bayern scored again soon after. the mental toughness and confidence are still lacking

- need to rant about 1) casemiro, despite his 2 goals, he was pretty much absent defensively when he's supposed to be the anchor, his defensive presence has been MIA since the wolves game; 2) eriksen, apart for the pass in the 4min that pellistri almost scored, he didn't contribute much and faded in the 2nd half, seems like he can only play at high intensity for 45mins. i feel ETH need to do something drastic like drop casemiro and eriksen, and select mctom and hannibal to be the midfield pair

- reguilon played well overall, made overlapping/incisive runs when attacking and commendable defending vs sane

- special mention to hojlund who scored his 1st goal, although man u need to spread the ball around more instead of focussing down the left, there wasn't enough wing play down the right, pellistri could only cross once which hojlund headed wide. there are 2-3 days interval for upcoming matches, so the recovery time is shorter, the timing is quite gum for ETH to ease hojlund into action: rotate with martial for 60-70mins of game time. hojlund shld be able to complete the full 90mins come Nov

- ETH must prioritise improvements to defence, midfield, mentality asap

- next game on Sat away at burnley, likely a draw as both teams have poor form

if they continue to play the lembek way they did in the last few games they lost, lazily n with no determination to win or energy to run n fight for the ball or imbue tricky brains in their players to outwit their opponents on the field not always playing predictable football making it easy for opponents to counter n attack them ..this one will go the same way...

as casemiro-eriksen cannot protect the defence, ETH can experiment with mctom-hannibal pairing in midfield. with the squad facing an injury crisis, its a chance for the youngsters to show what they can offer

a draw is a likely result, as man u away form has been poor since last season and currently on a 3 game losing streak, and burnley form is poor too

Glad they made it for this game :)...didn't watch as tot they will prolly lose again, wat more with luck not on their side recently...nowadays they depend so much on luck not skills to win games, not top 4 quality...

good thing is to see their joker GK keep a clean sheet for the 1st time n heard he made quite a no. of good saves to keep his side from losing..n heard surprisingly that Johhny Evans was their best player n played heroically scoring a goal himself but which was disallowed ...another 3 points in the bag n they hv now jumped up to 8th position on the table...might cum down a bit if the other teams below them win their games tonight...

hopefully they continue to improve n this is the turnaround for them to challenge for top 4 again

Hard fought 1-0 win ...

ETH had to reinforce the central region after shipping so many goals, the midfield became more compact when without possession, and when they had possession, fernandes and rashford would go wide. burnley played better in the 1st half, dissected man u rather easily but no finishing as onana wasn't severely tested. at the stroke of halftime, a wonderful pass from evans for fernandes goal

- when burnley attacked in the 10min, rashford was tracking an opponent run, then he stopped running and it made man u vulnerable, really wtf

- rashford didn't have a good game overall, twice he shot when should have passed, but he did create chances for hojlund

- hannibal played well, brought alot of energy and running to man u midfield, passed well during transition/link up. he deserves another start in the next game

- when martinez was not in the lineup, 1st "oh no", and then when reguilon pulled up with a tight hammy, 2nd "oh no", the injury list grows...

- overall an improved performance compared to previous games, midfield wasn't overrun easily and defence held. 3pts and a clean sheet to snap a 3 game losing streak

MU was and remains at a vulnerable state of mind and form, another loss would have compounded matters.
It doesn't really matters if us, the supporters, lose faith in the manager, it will be destructive, if the players start to lose faith in him.
They clawed a win, gave themselves breathing room.

Will it be a springboard or a slow curve ? I just hope they can build on it and stop the rot.

Stopped watching Man Utd matches after they got Mourinho as manager and just watched some highlights now and then.
Never liked Mourinho who liked to package himself as bigger than the club.

I myself am from Sir Ferguson era, watched as Scholes, Cantona, Giggs, Becks, (fuck Nicky Butt), Schmeichel and later Nistelrooy, Stam, Ronaldo( the chants of you got the wrong Ronaldo feels so funny now.)

I watched not just because of how good Man Utd was, but how they never gave up, it was a We May Fall, But We Will Always Go Down Fighting.
You see some fight here and there now in this Man Utd team, but only in weak spurts. And it is sad.

It may seem strange, but although they are really not a team to fear now by any means, it feels like they almost just need that 1 player to sync in and make the whole team click.

Sir Ferguson was a strict disciplinarian, but was also man management and motivation Master. Haag needs to bear that in mind.

Just need to find that audacious person like Cantona, where his frown is more searing that any words on field.

Easier said than done I suppose.

I especially like that long diagonal pass from Mount (i presume it is him) to Pellistri...which led to the opening goal.

Mount got a good game here. I can see he is everywhere.
All the little touches and long pass....plus that corner delivery which Casemiro scores.

Which brings the question....is it because he plays a similar role as Bruno?

I'm beginning to think so.

The entire team play for one another which is what had been missing all this while.

So, the stock value puts MU at a worth of around 3.2 Billion Pounds.

Another valuation puts it at close to 4.8 billion pounds.

Glazers, according to rumours, want to sell for 10 billion pounds.
Feels like asking too much if true.

Anyway, the latest news seem to be that Ratcliffe is about to present another restructured offer.
I hope Man Utd is sold to an individual rather than a consortium.

Man Utd can score, but once Palace fall behind, Palace will likely up the tempo and MU will then start to slow down the play instead.

It is kind of disturbing considering it is largely the same set of players and formation against the same team and same venue.
But the play is vastly different.

Only difference is Bruno and Rashford.

Rashford is just not in the game anymore and he doesn't want to play for the team. Mostly for himself.
He had also lost his form. Should be dropped for the next few matches.

Bruno....a hard one. But I feel he is not really an inspiring leader (he is Capt) on the field.
He is not the same form as when he first arrived.
I know he is hardworking but he just can't make things happen and inspire his teammates when the chips are down.

I seriously don't know what went wrong. Let's wait for Bro ILPH's analysis.

ilovepantyhose

01-10-2023, 08:58 PM

here are some thoughts after last night's game:

- man u are more sluggish whenever they play in the rain, 0.5sec slower in everything, finding a teammate, making runs, pressing, shooting, getting to the ball. socks not dry, morale not high?

- it was a smash n grab plan by palace, once they scored, they just park the bus and absorb pressure. palace is a physical side, man u can't cope at times

- this season, man u mentality and consistency not good enough, they seem to rely heavily on momentum (which was stop-start) during the match, they can play well for 5-10mins, but somehow cannot maintain or concede a goal, then try to fightback for another 5-10mins, if they can't score within the 10mins, it would go downhill from there, if they can score, chances are they would go on to score another on the back of that momentum

- man u had so much possession but they had no idea what to do with the ball, just pass around aimlessly or pass to rashford and hope he can conjure up some magic. but palace plan vs rashford was to double team him whenever he got the ball, it was 1vs2, how to run past 2 walls? rashford need a teammate to overlap and draw a defender away from him. man u had some good buildups but overall finishing was poor

- ETH gotta tweak his plan of inverted full backs, amrabat drifted infield so much that there was an ever-present worry of palace exploiting the area he vacated. also when the full back drifted infield, there can't be overlapping play on the wings, how to support the winger when the full back is in central midfield? in the past, man u attacking style was exciting because the full back would overlap/overload the flank. but now, the winger is expected to beat the opponent on his own. also there wasn't much linkup betw rashford and hojlund, they were pretty much isolated in their own area. there wasn't much fluidity in attack as the passing was poor overall (blame it on weather :rolleyes:)

- the goal conceded was from a set piece (lindelof poor marking), and man u had many corners but no result, need more training on set pieces

- Wed morning UCL at home vs Gala... if it doesn't rain, can man u win? :p

believe by now everyone knows who to blame n it's esp the baldy head coach for making wrong decisions most of the time, playing his players out of their preferred positions or positions they specialise in n recruiting new players who r jokers esp the stupid GK who keep on conceding goals galore, goals after goals after goals in so many games he played so far. :mad:...think baldy made a bad mistake by sacking DDG n not replacing him with a better one...the team of defenders r equally shit n a joke esp Dalot n Lindel-flop...all these bad recruitments r going to cost his job if he don't start benching them n play other better players within the squad

time to clear off all the shit players in the team n that includes the shit manager :rolleyes:...if he is decent enough, he should hand in his resignation rather than wait to be sacked...the earlier the team gets dumped out of all cup competitions the better so they can concentrate getting into top 4 ...now they clearly don't hv the players to win any game not to say anything...every team good or bad they play r confident of beating them even if they score 1st....all they need to do is press n pressure their defenders hard n they can score against them easily...nuff said...going back to sleep better

But actually they not too bad liao...hv improved can score at least 2 goals in Europe pulled up by good players like Hojlund n Mount who is no more rubbish...but badly let down by this useless Dalot n the new African GK that was highly regarded by the baldy manager for being able to play out from the back...told them not to fool ard with each other in their own penalty area but the baldy manager n his defenders do not want to listen ...see how many goals they kena already becos of this risky way of playing ,..the GK shd always kick a long ball over to their opponents penalty box to scare their defenders into making mistakes then can score against them easier ...but they so stubborn, don't want to listen wat to do

Hi, Bros,

my deepest condolences to my friends in this chat...

All I know is it is time to dump the bad tempered Baldy and also Oh Na Na..
How they missed De Gea...and we thought Oh Na Na was bought for his excellent passing skills......

Cant be happy as Arsenal also lost to an ayam French team.:(

T.Q bro WankJanice for yr sympathies for the red pussy team a bunch of useless players except for a few of them like Holjlund, Garnacho, AWB n Mason Mount...

true for nah nah, his passing skills is not that bad but wat use if his hands n legs can't stop the ball from going into his net everytime the opposition team launch their attacks n the baldy dare not bench him n let his other new GK try his luck...sad for him but the baldy is digging his own grave by always playing the under performing players win or lose n openly antagonizing n criticising his other players by offering them up for sale etc, etc

Hv to console u too bro in return for the loss of yr red gunners team who also lost last night in Europe

Please do not get me wrong.
I like Man U BUT I do not like their manager and his style..

"Together with my squad, I am responsible for this team"

So who is responsible for the performance???

It was raining....and another loss.:p

...

here are some thoughts after this morning's game:

- man u started quite brightly, passed the ball around with purpose, teammates overlapping on the flanks, many chances created but finishing is still poor

- hojlund announced himself on the EU stage with 2 goals, a bullet header and cool chip over the GK, played well as SC in holding the ball up and bringing teammates into play

- tale of 2 halves for amrabat, played well in the 1st half, but in the 2nd half, was caught out of posn in the lead up to 2nd goal, and his bad pass led to Gala 3rd goal (it is bad luck that all 3 DLs are injured at the same time, amrabat bravely filled in at DL, but he is new to the squad and unfamiliar with the defensive setup)

- take of 2 halves for rashford, played quite well in the 1st half, provided assist for hojlund, took on defender 1on1 with some success, but he was left to rue his decision to pass instead of shoot in the 53min, really need to improve his decision making as its affecting his form

- defending was abysmal, poor communication, awareness and positioning, the defenders played as if its they're playing together for the 1st time, totally inexcusable; 1st goal, high ball wasn't dealt with by varane or dalot, and then dalot was totally outmuscled by zaha; 2nd goal, nobody tracked akturkoglu's run; 3rd goal, amrabat made a bad pass but he was last man and the 2DCs were too high up and out of position

- mentality: can see man u is still buay steady when under opponent high press. also, conceding after taking the lead, the inability to hold on is really facepalm

- onana horror pass which led to penalty and casemiro red, what was he thinking? :confused::eek:

- the midfield and defence are so porous currently that maybe its time for ETH to switch to 5-3-2 formation temporarily until the injury crisis is over, really need to stop the rot, otherwise no difference from OGS era

Great analysis as usual.

Yes, Rashford should have shoot instead of pass (to Bruno)...and he underpass.
Can see ETH had told him to work with Hojlund and he did just that for Hojlund first goal.
ETH had also heard the mass, so he started Hannibal...which I think the lad did quite well.

Think complacency sets in after they are 2-1 up. Then everything went downhill.

And I think it is high time to bench Onana and let young Bayindir (Number 1) take his place. Onana had proven to be a clown on many occasions.
For the 3rd goal, he was out of his line so much and Icardi chip him.
And of course that howler which cause Casemiro a red.
Now you all know why he got no balls to take up Number 1.

UCL opening 2 home matches ended up in defeat. Won't have any chance to progress. FC Copenhagen also not pushovers. Bayern have to huff n puff to come from behind to beat them 2-1.
In fact Galatasaray also no slouch. Old stalwarts like Zaha (this guy always score against red pussies, and he did it again), Icardi (ex Inter hitman), Mertens (at 36, he still got what it takes reliving his glorious past at Napoli).
Mertens was a menace coming in as late sub.

Yes, Rashford should have shoot instead of pass (to Bruno)...and he underpass.

...

to supply hojlund better, rashford/antony/garnacho have to do extra work as their mentality tend to be more selfish when they have the ball. hannibal/pellistri tend to be selfless and they bring more energy and running when they are selected, hope that they can play more often

there seems to be a lack of a level head and analytical brain on the pitch, normally after taking the lead, the usual plays are to soak up pressure and counter with pace as the opponent will open up more, slow down the tempo, retaining possession and not losing the shape, but man u seem to lack such a conductor despite having experienced players, the inability to hold on to a lead is a big headache

onana... this is his 1st season, gotta see how he perform over the whole season. same for bayindir, think ETH will use him for UEL or fa cup fixtures

UCL already 2 losses, yea i think gone case too, maybe drop into UEL at best. for this season, ETH gotta refocus on finishing top 4 and win both domestic cups

its basically a 5-3-2 formation, at least 8 players behind the ball when out of possession. when with the ball, the formation can become a more fluid 3-4-3 as fernandes and rashford go wide with hojlund as SC, and dalot and amrabat push up into midfield

only a 50% chance of winning or drawing even then they must fight like there is no tomorrow...won't be a convincing win or draw with VAR controversies some more as usual in every match....VAR is suppose to confirm referee's decisions not push the decision back to the on-field referee n also not making mistakes themselves n costing teams the points they deserve

Yes, he must be laughing at the baldy...wat a cruel way of sending him away...a betrayal of the worst kind....the baldy is paying for making this mistake, the biggest of all the mistakes he is now making at the club...

hv supported him in all his other decisions abt players place in the team but i think this one will come back to jinx him maybe lead to his own sacking....he must swallow up his pride n apologize to DDG n bring him back now b4 it is too late just like Sancho must apologise to him for calling him a liar to continue playing for the club...both r the same stubborn

out of the 18 goals the clown GK let in so far this new season, I think DDG can at least save a quarter of them if not more n thereby win a couple of games more...like many fans r saying he shd bring in this joker GK to understudy DDG 1st for experience before sending DDG away next season

No way DDG will be back since the number 1 jersey already taken....at least as long ETH is still in charge.

The joker banana used to play for Ajax under ETH, so ETH feel there is no need for understudy.
Furthermore, as I had explained very early on, ETH feels DDG style is a stumbling block to his high pressing game.
Of course, the present facts and statistics had shown otherwise. :D

Players to be dropped.

1. Joker Banana -- can see his confidence all time low and yet botak still stick with him. And he repaid by letting a weak shot slip through his right hand. He did redeemed himself with saving a few shots. Seemed like this guy is very weak when dealing with low shot balls. And he looks like a stumbling grizzly bear movement to movement. DDG might look weak like a skinny monkey. But his strength in both hands and agility surprised me everytime. Too bad he is no longer around. Time to give the new number 1 some warm up.

2, Casemiro -- not sure what happened to him. after a stellar season where he is the mr reliable in midfield. he kept making mistakes and was off par in most matches this opening season. last night match he gave the ball away cheaply thus contributing to Jensen goal. Rightfully sub out after half time by botak. Luckily still have Amrabat.

3. Rashford -- he is trash mostly this season and can see his heart is not playing for the team. Rightfully sub out for Garnacho which is critical in the late comeback.

4. Bruno -- he is not setting a good example as Capt with his woeful aimless running and non inspiring performance. Is it a mistake making him as Capt?

Player to be reinstated -- Who else....but mighty Scott. :p
Only problem is where to put him.

Questionable player -- surprised to see Antony back....another trash in my opinion.

here are some thoughts after last night's game:

- again, man u had alot of possession but struggled to break down the opposition. again, they conceded against the run of play, the defending is really facepalm. again, it was a shot that should have been saved

- brentford tried to smash n grab, parked the bus after they scored, but they couldn't hold on despite resolute defending. harsh on brentford from a neutral pov

- rashford doesn't seem to have the right mentality last night, he seemed lepak and bochup when the team is out of possession. when he had the ball, he kept running into several defenders. needs to be dropped to wake up his idea

- there was some supply to hojlund, but they were not optimal, either the angle was too narrow or he was crowded out by 2-3 defenders in the box

- ETH last throw of the dice and it paid off, mctom was the saviour, but can he accommodate mctom in a starting posn? radical idea: go 4-4-2, play hojlund and mctom as SC, pellistri and rashford as wingers to provide crosses

- even though it was a late comeback win, the defensive problems are glaring: the playing out from the back, the comical defending (lindelof attempted clearance straight to opponent feet is wtf), onana conceding soft goals and the lack of reading and organisation during transition right after they lose the ball. the defence was good last season but poor this season. casemiro is another player who needs to be dropped, was so good last season, but becoming a liability this season

- from the post match comments, can sense that ETH is getting frustrated with the squad. will he drop impt players just to prove a point?

- next match is away to sheff utd, it should be a win if the good man u turn up :p

I'm just happy they won.
Don't even dare to predict anymore, maybe less disappointment that way for me.

I wonder if fatigue can already be setting in for the players, a high intensity match almost per 3 days.
Some rotation will be good, to prevent the players from being "stoned"
Maybe casemiro can do with a one match break.

Sir Alex said of Roy Keane

"It was the most emphatic display of selflessness I have seen on a football field.
Pounding over every blade of grass, competing if he would rather die of exhaustion than lose, he inspired all around him.
I felt it was an honour to be associated with such a player".

We need someone like that.

Yes, they did win last night :)...to honour SAF's wife ??...no, don't think so by the careless way they played but only by the heroics of this one forgotten man a old academy boy who fought for the badge n nearly scored a hattrick (1st goal disallowed) coming in as the last substitute during the last few minutes of stoppage time unlike his useless 11 teammates who couldn't even score a goal playing for 87 minutes on the pitch running around like headless chickens..
his arrival on the field n fierce aggressive way of playing inspired his useless teammates to help him score

this man is Scott Mctom, such a top goal scorer for his country too but not wanted by this blind baldy manager who pushed hard to export him to other teams...wat a fool he is, Mctom was his saviour last night...

it is just that he was not played in his preferred position as a striker by all his managers (past n present)...baldy assessment of his players abilities is getting worse n worse this season...trying to cast out good utility players n players who can score goals if played in their preferred positions like James Garner now at Everton who nearly scored one against his old club last season if not for DDG blocking it....Mctom btw is a striker like holjlund who can score goals easily in ot near the box n is definitely not a midfielder

Talking abt playing the high press n GK playing out from behind, 2 GKs were in similar trouble in the matches played just now...the Brighton GK played a fool with his defenders when there were opposition strikers around...n he did exactly the same thing as wat DDG n nah nah did, he kicked the ball to his colleague nearby n he was robbed easily of possession n this led to a goal against them ... for nothing kena an easy goal...

n just now even the Arsenal GK tried to do the same thing thinking they r very smart but his colleague was robbed of the ball by City attackers n they nearly scored.. during the scramble near his goal post he nearly conceded a goal fighting for the loose ball but lucky the city attacker missed by a little bit n couldn't put the ball into his net ...

Hi, friends,

A blast from the past. Please enjoy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zm-GettnTIA&ab_channel=PremierLeague

What Man U needs is a committed team PLUS a manager who is tough ( which ETH is ) AND respected by the players ( which ETH is not).
Obviously my opinion only...

Words from the manager turned the team 100% around in the second half..

Hi Bro diablo3satanic,

the reason you end up with 3 posts is because you are still under moderation.
So, it takes time until your message gets posted; only after the admin reviews your post.

Suggest you:
a) post a minimum of 10 posts
b) post on other threads so that other Bros can up you. We cannot up you in the Man U thread.
Then once you have 50 points, you will be out of moderation..

Hope my suggestions help.

No bro WankJanice, I beg to disagree with u this time....it's not the baldy's words that really turned his team around in the 2nd half....more than that is his last minute gamble or throw of the dice to bring Mctom on the pitch to play...the boy was on fire n he played his heart out in the dying minutes of the game to prove baldy that he was wrong abt him n had played him in a wrong position in the past

Rickey

21-10-2023, 03:19 PM

So the news is that Mctominay will be for sale at the right price.

Hopefully that is just bs filler news and not true.

Harry McGuire rumoured to say will leave if not more plays.
Hopefully, that is true.

Just realised how greedy Glazers are, wanting to sell the club for above 5Bil, while leaving the club 1bil in debt.

Just the interest on the debt alone equals to 1-2 world class players transfer fee per season.

Money is important to a club, but passion more.
And Glazers have neither to contribute.
Yes, that has been the case since the last transfer window...Mctom is a quick goal scorer n can poach goals for the team in n ard the penalty box which he had done so a couple of times already n this no-brain manager wants to get rid of him...how foolish of him

For MacGuire, it is in the interest in of all parties that he leaves the club for the sake of his future in the national team....as for the owners nuff said

But ruled offside because of his teammate.

Wasn't a spectacular performance. But the red pussies got the job done.

ETH started McTom alongside Amrabat and was awarded with a goal.
Red hot form this guy. Bruno pass wasn't good, but somehow McTom control and adjust to shoot and score.
But, 30 seconds later, McTom turned from hero to zero with a handball, contributing to a penalty in which McBurnie converted.
A very interesting first half.

Second half was a tad boring. Everyone was thinking this match will be heading towards a draw and Dalot pops up with a superb long range shot.

Yes, read from other fans that they were a disjointed team once again, can't pass well as usual etc, etc....nothing great abt the baldy's style of play...won 2-1 out of individual brilliance of Mctom n Dalot only...in danger of losing their next few games against bigger n stronger teams who won't give them the chance to hv it their way esp their mighty neighbours in blue will flatten them with don't know how many zeros again...not sure why players like Bruno n Rashford can play so well n score goals for national team but can't do so similarly in the local league...but heard Maguire was solid early this morning

mctom continues his scoring form, for his 3 goals, he seem to know where the goal was without taking his eye off the ball. why not play him as a 2nd striker?

attack wise, man u created chances but finishing was still poor, its kinda ironic that the goals came from a midfielder and defender :p

defence wise, they conceded again soon after taking the lead, its becoming a bad habit

next game UCL at home vs copenhagen is the best chance of man u getting a win, as the remainder of the group fixtures are tough

ETH played McTom mostly because Casemiro was not available.
Despite all the statistics, I seriously think he will still go ahead and sell off McTom when there is an opportunity. Stubborn baldy.
Just like his insistence on Joker Banana. Banana makes a few distinct saves last night. Only beaten by a penalty. Kind of redeemed himself.
The Blades didn't create much threat upfront, so red pussies by right should have won comfortably.

Actually very easy mah..just pair him up tgt with Hojlund n the 2 can take turns to terrorise the opposition defenders n goalie n score goals against them...one time u pass the ball to me to score, the other I will return favour n pass the ball for yr turn to score goals...can use Garnacho also...just need to take out the most useless one in the fwd line or midfield who don't know how to pass the ball to them to score goals n keep losing the ball to opposition players

but now the problem is casemiro...he is quite useless now...get injured easily n even if not injured also anyhow kick the ball to the opposition players for them to score goals against his team like last time Maguire did...so bench case as a sub player n let mctom play full time to score direct goals

Who is going to form the midfield?

Supposingly 4-4-2.

AML - Rashford? He is the number 1 pick by ETH. But his form is.....meh

AMR - Antony? ETH pet. But thrash to me.

MC 1 + 2 -- This is the most headache portion. Bruno will get a pick because he is the Capt. But his form is meh....

Or how about 3-5-2 ?

The wing flanks will need to be extra hardworking to play back track and help defence.

The forwards scuff a few solo one on one chances. Rashford included.
This they need to work on.

Onana proved he can be a good shot stopper as he saved a few using single hand. Include that PK save.
Looks like he put in extra effort after getting a barrage of insults from fans.

I wish to apologise to both Maguire and Onana for calling them names.......:o

I watched the highlights of the match, not optimistic.

What I see worries me, but good that Onana saved a penalty, should do good for his confidence.

i think mount is best option to man-mark city dangerman (foden/silva/grealish), hence antony is sacrificed, fernandes to provide width on the right whenever possible

casemiro might not be fit in time, so midfield will be amrabat-mctom, eriksen to provide option off the bench

ETH likely to stick with maguire but i suspect city will overload his area

The red pussies were 2nd best in every movement.

It could have been more if not for Onana, who put on quite a display.
But with the amount of space given to City, he also cannot stop all of them.

Something wrong with the forward line though. 2 clear strikes coming from McTom. Rashford bungled with his only clear chance.
Hojlund just run around like a headless chicken and his only contribution was pulling back Rodri in the penalty area. Haaland scored from the resultant penalty.

City clear threat was always from the flanks. And yet, pussies just allow them so much space on both sides. Haaland was left acres of space on the left side. Which he scored one and assist for Foden.

Not a surprising result.

It could hv been worse 5-0 if not for onana who saved 2 certain goals...the guy has improved a lot compared to his 1st few games ..

in all the games red pussies hv lost including this one is down to their baldy manager's incompetent selection n substitution of his players..playing them out if their position n not in the position they r good at...

1st half they were quite solid but in the 2nd half he continued to play on the useless Rustford who can't score when he had an opportunity n pulled Hojlund out instead :(....pulled out Amrabat n put in rubbish mount n lost the midfield battle in the 2nd half allowing Citeh to inflict another 2 goals on them...too many more useless players no time to mention them all ..the same old problems n the baldy can't find any solutions to them so far...just as bad as Ole if not worse

they cannot get into top 4 this season or win any trophies with all these current group of weak players n manager compared to citeh's fast n aggressive runners who can dance their way into their opposition penalty box n score goals so easily n having a tactically smart manager...they will end up a mid-table team n if they don't improve will end up fighting relegation even..nuff said

Yah, baldy put in Mount at the 2nd half and I was think how this guy can help??
As expected, he went invisible mode again and City got an even easier game.

Every single lose ball, pussies were always slow. City players just keep on running and getting to the ball first time....like Duracell bunnies.

Red pussies really need to work on their stamina.

I did not think Man Utd could win, was hoping/predicting score of maybe 3-4, 2-4, with great fightback.

Loss of the sterling form of last season of Fernandez and Rashford means Utd just seem short of ideas.
When I saw Johnny Evans starting, I was like, we are so fked.

Oh Man Utd, how far we have fallen, when we are not expected to beat derby rivals at home.

But as long as ETH is manager, can only support him and hope something changes.
Not like I have other options to support.

None of the new signings have impressed so far....Amrabat also lose focus already. Hojlund start to look bewildered.
But so far, Onana had shown substantial improvement.

I know many had point the finger at Glazers....but the players still have an obligation to the fans, right?
Were these players not paid their sky high exorbitant salaries?
They still drive flashy cars to the training ground everyday.

Come on, enough of all the off the pitch excuses, they are just plain lazy and not motivated playing for Man U. That's all.
Even Sir Bobby also no eyes see liao.

its like OGS era all over again... deja vu... ETH wants to play out from the back, but after one season of seeing how his team play against others, he should be sharp enough to see that it obviously doesn't work against teams like city, pool. SAF, LVG, mourinho had the counter against possession based teams: sit back, soak pressure and lightning-quick counter. be flexible lah, every game must die die play out from the back meh? how many times has it backfired? how many times have they lost possession in their own third and invite unnecessary pressure?

something is wrong with the players on a whole, no comms, no tracking of runners, no bite and let the opponent get into their rhythm, lack of heart/desire/fight, poor mentality and determination, really too busy thinking how much money they can pocket and no mood to play football liao

over the years, so much money are spent on players but many of them underperformed or become mediocre, has man u become some sort of "last big contract" club?

Actually the 1st half they were not that bad n nearly equalised thru Rustford...but in the 2nd following baldy's substitutions bringing in more useless players like mount, etc, etc n pulling out Hojlund n Amrabat, they collapsed n kena another 2 goals ...had it not been for their super GK Onana they would hv lost 5-0....

I don't think top 4 is possible now.

Even their last hope Hojlund had proven to be a flop. He is unable to get in position to score under pressure and help the team to turn the tide.

I think their best bet for goals still rest on McTom.
He had proven he can be lethal upfront. With his height (1.93m) and robust play and workrate, he is made for an out and out SC.
Baldy should took the gamble and start him as SC.

He got some bad reviews last time, that's primary because he was deployed as a DMC. His natural instinct to venture up forward thus allowing the back door to open. Just move him all the way upfront.

The chips are all down and really...there is nothing to lose playing McTom as SC. At the most if doesn't work, pull him off at HT and sub in Hojlund or Martial.

He overestimate himself after some small success at Eredivisie.

He also made the major error in kicking out DDG (just to accomodate his favorite goriila). DDG was crucial in helping Man U attaining top 4 last season. DDG was kick out like that after 12 years of loyal service. Not even a testimonial match!

Another glaring error is the signing of Mount....even give the coveted Number 7. So now as all can see, he is another flop.

And his favourite pet, Antony. What can this guy do?? He is only good in playing spinning top with the ball. One trick pony that relies on his left foot.

Me thinks so too even if the rot stops now unless they can win every single game of theirs from now on which is impossible...if he keeps on losing more games that will be even worse ...supercomputers say they might end up in 8th position this season unless they miraculously make a turn around with change of manager or players or even the board at the top n the unpopular stingy owners

Wat u say abt Mctom is right, the guy was played out of his preferred position by all his managers including the current one, so he didn't do well n was often criticised...sad thing is that stupid baldy still wants to sell him despite him saving his job by scoring in the last few games...see how retarded baldy is ..yes, u r right again, there is nothing to lose now, play Mctom as an attacker to score goals upfront rather than a midfielder to protect against goals being scored against them

Original thoughts was of course they can still make top 4 with the quality in the squad.
But looking at the squad now, not sure where/what the quality is.
Maybe because now things all messed up so bad.

Magic ques for man utd fan

Should ten hag get sack?

Sir Alex had a rough start at Man Utd, just one game away from being sacked, if not for winning the FA Cup.
That saved him and got Man Utd more or less started on the road to dominance.
Comparing the start of ETH and Sir Alex, ETH actually doing better, that's how bad it was during the start of Sir Alex.

So I am always mindful of this when thinking of changing managers.
But it will be important of drilling into the players the fighting spirit.
I honestly don't mind losing, what I cannot stand is surrendering.
I am starting to see shades of spice boys, à la liverpool from the 2000s.

I am in 2 minds about changing the manager.
Prefer the saga of club ownership settled first before any other major changes.

Man thinks the world of himself...his greatest blunder perhaps was to ruthlessly sack DDG who hv been keeping clean sheets for him by winning the Golden Glove Award w/o any compassion or compensation thinking that onana is the best GK in the world n his stupid idea of playing out from the back all the time causing his team to needlessly kena unnecessary goals.

As for the other 2 guys, they r his pets ...so he cannot blame anyone else for his misfortunes now...sad to see the guy shooting himself in the foot for these stupid errors he made that is causing his downfall now...sometimes I do feel sorry for him but the guy is so stubborn doesn't want to admit his mistakes

The whole team seem to be playing individually… not for the club but for themselves only

Seriously it was tough watching them playing after the 10th min I almost fall asleep 😴

Luckily Fulham also lacklustre. At times, it is like both teams just stroking the ball around.
Maybe they wanted 0-0.
But Capt Bruno had other ideas apparently.

Why pussies wanted Mount is beyond me. And what baldy head see in him to even offer him the number 7 shirt....??

here are some thoughts after last night's game:

- when rashford was missing in the starting XI, immed thought he was disciplined for his bday party, official reason was he failed a fitness test, coincidence?

- both sides were poor, gonna be a draw until fernandes conjured his magic to take all 3 points. man u have been relying on individual brilliance to break down "weaker" teams this season, and totally succumb bend over when against strong oppositions, its a worry

- good to see AWB back in action, although he was out of posn during transitions, lucky that fulham couldn't exploit

- AMR, the bosses might feel scammed after shelling out a big sum for antony, another game where he didn't contribute much, jinjiahxi ETH godson. pellistri played with more energy and initiative, it was his pressing that led to the goal, hope he can play more instead of godson

- no supply to hojlund despite having fernandes, eriksen, garnacho, antony on field, man u played like there was no SC to aim for

- garnacho tried several 1on1s but final product was still missing, he did try to help out in defence though

- next game is UCL away at copenhagen, man u must win their remaining fixtures if they want to qualify for KO stages, but don't think they can win vs Bayern and Gala... overall not optimistic

-Clearly Rashford was penalised for excessive partying....but whether he play or don't, not much difference nowadays.
His heart is not in the game/club anymore.

-I feel Greenwood would the perfect AMR...but too bad.
Baldy insistence on playing Antony is another Marcos Rojo saga.
Rojo claimed OGS is obligated to play Maguire infront of him due to the fact Man U paid 80m for the England defender.
In addition, Antony was brought in with strong recommendation from baldy.
So, baldy won't want to admit his "mistake" by putting Antony on the bench.

-Think I have to admit Hojlund is just so-so. Or probably the pussies were so used to playing without a SC for so long.
But I have to make the case for McTom to be played upfront again.
The ruled out goal was a dampener. McTom was so quick to get into a scoring position.
A true SC predatory instinct. Probably Hojlund need to remodel his style instead of waiting for the deliveries.

-It is do or die at the Parken. Copenhagen feels hard done by with the narrow loss at OT. With only 1 point, they have nothing to lose so will go all out with the ferocious support from their own fans.
They drew away to Galatasaray and was only narrowly beaten 2-1 at the Parken by Bayern.
Not a pushover side. The pussies will be asking to be slaughtered if they play like they played against Fulham.

rashford - after his dip in form and aimai bochup attitude on pitch this season, i'm inclined to think that he damn siao-on last season to earn the bumper contract, when he achieved that, he took his foot off the gas. man u dip in form coincides with his, its really risky to depend on 1 player for results, there must be other match winners within the squad

antony - need at least 2 seasons before a verdict can be passed, he is young after all, but why ETH keeps starting him when he is ineffective is a mystery, so far still a one-trick pony... and his behaviour in the derby match, kns really throw face as a man u player. after seeing how proactive and direct pellistri is, my vote goes to him as AMR. (greenwood and antony style are similar. don't think greenwood can play for man u again, man u will get arm-twisted by the politics)

hojlund - same case as antony, need at least 2 seasons, but he is showing the qualities needed in a SC: holding the ball up, bringing teammates into play, getting into scoring posns. he is more in the mould of a striker, he's not really a forward and there are already many FW/AM in the squad. ETH needs to tweak his game plan to involve hojlund more, play more direct, teammates to make runs into space, more crosses into the box for him to attack; also the players need to release the ball faster (dalot/eriksen dally on the ball 1sec too long). i think ETH will continue to deploy mctom as MC, only when man u falls behind, then he instruct mctom to be more attacking

UCL - away vs copenhagen...likely a draw, away vs Gala...likely a loss, home vs Bayern...likely a draw, i think man u will finish third in the group and fall into UEL. if man u wanna progress, they have to win all remaining fixtures, i don't think they can given their current state
