game is pretty even but as per usual this season - our GK is dogshit. DDG had errors in him often but he was a genuinely great shot stopper. He saved us far more often than he sunk us. Onana inspires ZERO confidence ever. We keep giving teams easy leads.

by Firenze Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:40 pm

Saw this post and honestly I find it hard to disagree

'Onana, Antony, Mount, Hojlund. Worst group of signings under a manager ever.'

that's like 250+ million.. Laughing

who are these exceptions? Mainoo holds some potential, Garnacho maybe too

by Arquitecto Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:42 pm

Hojlund is very good give him time. I can't speak for Onana since he mostly was just a shot stopper in Inter and had one good season only.

Im guessing whomever scouted Antony is that trick-spamming whore on Fifa and Ive no clue why Mount was signed at all. Average player.

by Firenze Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:43 pm

we cant shift these scrubs we signed for big money, the only players I would keep in the starting 11 if I had a say would be Varane (under a diff manager with quality around him) Bruno (very frustrating but needs more quality around him) and Mainoo

and that's it

Luke Shaw at LB too but both he and Varane are injured half of every season

Onana if he can regain confidence
Hojlund
Luke Shaw
Eriksen
Casemiro even if a bit past it
Varane
Bruno
Maguire when he is on form.

Dont even agree on Garnacho tbh

by Firenze Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:44 pm

I'm not sold on Hojlund tbh...his first touch is horrible and I'm not seeing anything to make me optimistic of his future, despite him being young and raw. The thing is he was signed out of desperation for big money and has big expectations because of it. It's unfair to judge him in the situation we've forced on him.

by Arquitecto Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:46 pm

It's hard to judge anyone in this zero morale squad as it stands. Onana is the most obvious example and the Hojlund I saw for Atalanta and Denmark, his first touch was amongst his best traits. I am sure you play footy too and will know on low confidence days on field it'll always be the worst.

by sportsczy Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:46 pm

I'm not sure what ETH is trying to do structurally. The team looks like it's trying to play a system it doesn't understand.

Also, no finishing whatsoever. The strikers are awful for Man U.

by sportsczy Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:48 pm

What's the point of Bruno F and Eriksen playing together.

by halamadrid2 Tue Dec 26, 2023 8:52 pm

Villa are a nervous wreck themselves. They are there for the taking. They play such a ridiculous high line it's bad that Utd players keep getting caught offside time and again

say that again about Garnacho... :coffee:

dude really listed all washed players that treat Utd as a last big paycheck retirement home

by BarcaLearning Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:36 pm

Lol only half watching but its now level.... so Man U continue to do not too bad despite all the shit everyone gives them? XD Thats Ten Hags best trait for me... just does enouh to keep going, love it XD

for madrid or barca

needs to keep starting every week, much better than the alternatives

by BarcaLearning Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:40 pm

Garnacho been carrying MAn U like Rashford did last season, almost Man U's only goal threat nowadays Very Happy

by BarcaLearning Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:43 pm

Knew it, only matter of time surprise teams like Villa start to drop off Very Happy

So bad how they concede these 3 goals... mentally worst than Arsenal?

by Firenze Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:43 pm

RASMUS RASMUS RASMUS RASMUS RASMUS

DONT FUCKING GO ON TO CONCEDE AGAIN NOW

villa will still finish above us this season and top 4 IMO, they aren't a fluke team, well coached with good players

by BarcaLearning Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:51 pm

Man C win their game in hand n would be 3rd just 3 points behind top. LFC lose Salah soon to AFC, n Arsenal gonna self implode as usual sooner or later. Pep got this Razz

by BarcaLearning Tue Dec 26, 2023 9:56 pm

Not sure about Villa since I dont watch them Razz

But just think Emery is overrated af. Its like any other manager whos team overperforms for a while n everyone starts raving they are the best coach around, Ive seen it so many times b4.

Might though, since woulda thought Newcastle would be there but theyve fallen off a cliff? Chelsea r a mess, Spurs are thin, n yes Man U need to stay in the Conference League > Very Happy

Although EPL Gets 5 CL spsots I Think next season?

by halamadrid2 Tue Dec 26, 2023 10:03 pm

Where Lenglet and Carlos the CB partnership when Villa thrashed City? Must be a new low for Pep in that case

Villa deserve nothing from this game. Osasuna would've given Utd more to think about than them.

They're pathetic on the ball. Like no creativity in that team. How are they even that high up in the table

Justice for LaLiga

by El Gunner Tue Dec 26, 2023 10:05 pm

Villa and Emery faltering before the new year... lolz
so much that surprise title challenge

by Vibe Wed Dec 27, 2023 4:26 am

Hold Arsenal and City with a clean sheet for 180 minutes then concede 3 in 30 against the most impotent team I've seen in a long time, smh.

Anyway, ETH IN? @Firenze

by Nishankly Wed Dec 27, 2023 5:21 pm

Not much to add since the last post, we are doing the same shite of not putting teams to bed. Just keep pace with the leaders until AFCON is over and maybe we could surprise a few people with everyone back fit.

Jota killed the game instantly this week as he came back. Hopefully Mac, Robbo and Thiago perform at the same level once they are back. Hope we see our strongest 11 for atleast a couple of games this season.
