I have seen Dubravka concede some woeful goals. Slovakia vs Spain in the Euros made Olsen look like Buffon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d be disgusted if I were a United fan. Onana has another mistake in him McTominay is that clogger. If he isn't popping up with shots on the edge of the box he offers very little in these type of games. Wan Bisakka mainly defended well one v one against Gordon but losing and you know he isn't going to offer much going forward. Man. United have endless issues back to front, their recent run of wins was a complete mirage and really there's nothing to worry about with them. I can see them finishing 8th or 9th if Chelsea ever wake from their malaise. Brentford were bottom half this morning and they're only 5 points off Man. United now.

United will get rid of him in January, most likely to Saudi Arabia. 33 minutes ago, Genie said: shame for him to leave Europe. He could restart his career back in Germany or maybe Spain. I heard that Juve are trying to do a deal for him, so I wouldn't bank on Saudi just yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the feeling his agency has just told him to ride it out and wait for Ten Hag to get sacked so loan deal feels most logical option somewhere.

He is an ok keeper but he isnt amazing. He has blunders in him though That game I mentioned would have been flagged for match fixing if he was a good keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems strange for him to go to Saudi at this stage. I’m sure he has money already coming out of his ears yet lots of unfinished business as a footballer at the top level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Works very hard, tackles hard, sets the tone on a pitch full of sulking babies. He also scores important goals for club and country, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are in a massive mess because they have spent big money for such a shit squad. Anthony, Rashford, Sancho, Martial, Maguire, Casemiro, Verane, Martinez, Mount are all on massive wages but not good enough. They can’t get rid of them without paying them off tens of millions each. Then to compound the issue they needed a GK and a striker this summer, they wouldn’t pay the money for Kane and for some reason were never linked with our World Cup winner. Absolutely clueless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Martinez you are a bit harsh but others arent contributing. Add in Lindelof and Shaw probably a couple others Ita a club ran dreadfully, they need a rebuild from bottom up but have a childish fan base who wont accept it so they need to sign win now players Its absolutely car crash TV and I love it Edited December 2, 2023 by Zatman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need a manager who doesn’t tolerate the shit attitudes, they’ve had a few but they sack them. Martinez has been ok true. Shaw has also been ok, he at least isn’t stinking the place out. To let Kane go to Germany and sign an absolute nothing player like Mount is some of the stupidest transfer business I’ve ever seen. They are where they are on merit. In fact, they are higher than where they deserve to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted December 3, 2023 Share Posted December 3, 2023 Yep, starting point should have been kane as a proper goalscorer who could snatch games for them if they don't play well and a holding midfielder who looks to control games Instead they bought a development striker and mason mount And bear in mind this wasn't done by Woodward and his guys that ran their decline, this was done by the new team who were appointed to fix all of this They need an overhaul at CEO level all the way down to Doris the cleaner It's **** brilliant 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think that was ever likely to happen. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
