  1. Yeah he grew into it after he missed the catch and bloodied his nose. Woken him up a bit and he grew into the game. Needs to go long whenever he gets it to feet though. Missed cash a couple times with simple balls.
  2. Ings had just as many very good chances in the last couple weeks and hasn't scored them
  3. Not very good at all. Maybe he's just nervous but he's pretty experienced isn't he? Distribution is awful. I'm not a massive fan of Emi's but Robin making him look like Ederson. On this showing so far, making it a perm feels like a stop gap and maybe something we should reconsider
  4. NGL I'm a touch frustrated at how often this has happened with him. I do understand it and I suppose I would probably do the same thing if it were me. But as a fan it's annoying for one of our top players and leaders to be missing again this season due to prioritising national games
  5. I know it seems like he's rested himself for Italy v Argentina on Wednesday but should we be worried about him resting himself? His contract is brand new, somebody reassure me
  6. No Martinez, otherwise a nice line up but it's too attacking for City and what they're going for today. Fair play to Gerrard for goingfor it, but Dougie at 6 and Watkins &Coutinho is a recipe for disaster today.
  7. I'm more confident in our wage structure since hearing we got Coutinho for £17m and still managed to convince him to drop to £140k a week wages. Ain't no way anybody is signing for more wages than that this summer as we'd instantly piss off our 'biggest ever signing'. £140k will be our top wages for atleast a season or two and I think thats OK. It's big, but it's not insane. We'll need to Get Europe at some point to continue justifying it. But we aren't betting the house on it as it stands
  8. Yes he is. Fabrizio is the definition of a tap in merchant, done well for himself by only really mentioning anything when it's close. This guy is more definitive on it than Fab too, stuck his neck on the line more than Fab has, he was saying Atleti was close last week and has swung 180 and been much more definitive on his expectation now too.
  9. How about Marcus Rashford? Easy to forget that he's still youngish and he wasn't one of those United youth that are generally poor but play well as surrounded by good players. He was genuinely on unreal form for a few seasons, there's a very good, hardworking player in there somewhere. Part of me thinks we need a top striker and we don't need more middling competition. But if we lost say Ings, I think I'd prefer Rashford to Suarez as a rotational forward
  10. Yeah probably although they allegedly started this last week before they were safe
  11. As we've seen a couple times with The Championship, looks like a legal dispute around FFP between The Premier League, Everton, Leeds and Burnley
  12. "Since Gerrard came in" also takes into consideration the 4/5 game 'New Manager Bounce' where we looked a completely different team from late-Smith but also a different team from what Gerrard has offered since. If we go from January, we're 14th. If we go from February (once he had a window), we're 13th. We got what we deserved in terms of league standing.
  13. Chambers will be backing up Cash next season until Kesler is ready for the step up. We already have one of the most exciting talents in England at RB and our senior starter is seriously linked to Atleti. Think we'd be silly to spend money there to plug the gap in-between. We really shouldve sorted Hickey in the last window. He'd be ideal to challenge both Cash and Digne, plugging the gap for Kesler on the Right before replacing Digne himself.
  14. Voted McGinn as MoTM but only as I couldn't vote for Pope
  15. Poor from Ings. Time and space in the box and he flicks it
  16. Where has this McGinn come from? What a lay off that was
  17. If you're impressed by short names like Ings and Traore, wait until we bring on Chukweumeka, Iroegbunam and Philogene-Bidace next season.
  18. As I say that Bertrand comes on. I assume for Chuk who hasn't been great. A shame but he wasn't great. Should've been given more time though imo
