No movement, no runs, no creativity, no juice. Based on this first half Man utd might be in for a long, dark and painful season. I was just watching an attack they had just before conceding. Player on the ball came to a standstill but had a good few second before he got under any pressure. Another United player in front of him had loads of space to run into and receive an easy pass but he just stood still. All that hard work and movement they had under Fergie has gone. They look absolutely bang average, poor even. Just think of the size of their wage bill and money spent to assemble such a run of the mill set of lazy players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well the good news is that buying a single top quality player costs £60m+ these days, so they will be out of the picture for a very long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Beat Brighton and we'll be pretty much touching top half. Yesterday was huge win really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Glad that I refused to accept that a draw would have been a good result before the game yesterday, without those three points we would be in the relegation zone now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LakotaDakota Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I know we were boosted a bit yesterday but only 5 teams have scored more goals than us this year so far. If we can stop the silly mistakes at the back we'll be fine. Arsenal are sat in 3rd with 13 goals scored & 11 conceded. We have scored 13 & conceded 12. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noticed this earlier - add in the 9 goals we scored in the league cup and it’s a pretty good return on 10 games in total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it's not going to happen but it would be absolutely hilarious if they got relegated. I wonder how it would affect their finances, you look at how we struggled to cope with our wage bill on Championship money, imagine theirs! They would probably lose masses and masses from sponsorship deals also. Like I said not going to happen but I would love to glimpse that parallel universe where they do go down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I said it before they signed him. Maguire is just another Jagielka. Decent but he's nothing special. Not gonna improve them. Not really any better than Smalling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Only Liverpool, Sheffield Unite and Leicester have conceded less goals than them, their problems are in the second half of the pitch, Daniel James who wasn't even a regular for Swansea last season has probably been their best attacking player. For all the stick that Pogba gets they miss him badly. Edited October 6, 2019 by useless 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) We've spent about £400m in the same time period and have absolutey nothing to show for it.

useless Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hopefully we can start turning things around now, if we can just stay up this season, then no reason why can't keep building and then start challenging for trophies again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
