The point I was responding to was that we have a policy of signing players that will work increase in value. I was saying I don't think we have that policy any longer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidlewis Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Confidence comes from winning not playing well and losing. Maybe individually you can but as a team collective losing valiantly 1-0 or 2-1 is pants 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if you say the players are benefiting from a fresh modern training approach - surely its a reasonable question to ask what the approach is ?

You've credited Stevie G with implementing 'Modern Fresh training methods' and yet can offer no evidence to support this. Don't make stuff up if you don't want to be taken to task over it.

Keyblade Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Can't see how anyone can be mad about playing Manchester United feat. PGMOL off their own patch, other than at the refs. We're not perfect, but we're obviously trending in the right direction, and SG is clearly not resting on his laurels and isn't satisfied with this. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United and Everton away. Then a February we need to obliterate if we don’t get something from those two games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Down to 14th now. Needs to get Coutinho and Digne in an up to speed ASAP. Then start to get more consistent performances out of everyone else. Oh, and a midfielder signing would be nice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 Owners really throwing everything at this Stevie G project. And this is only January. If this fails we could be in trouble. Exciting but at the same time I'm a little worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
