HKP90 Posted December 6, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted December 6, 2023 I played EA Sports FC last night. It was a game against Man U, and I can confirm they are as irritating in that game as in real life. I have no idea how EA managed to capture the pure shithousery of them, but I battered them for 80mins, and they were saved by the woodwork, and in one case by Maguires pixelated arse, before hacking down one of my players (no foul-capturing PL refereeing perfectly), breaking and scoring a goal off Rashford's shin in the 97th minute. Man I hate that team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted December 6, 2023 Share Posted December 6, 2023 I saw the headline that Rashford was dropped to the bench so looked at the bench Subs: Bayindir, Martial, Rashford, Reguilon, Pellistri, Wan-Bissaka, Van de Beek, Evans, Mainoo. Absolute state of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It very bizarre isn’t it. They are basically avoiding draws. They lose to anyone in the top half, but then beating everyone in the bottom half. The wins over the bottom sides have been scraped with fortune and a 1 goal margin. I imagine they’ll finished somewhere between 6-9th Edited December 7, 2023 by Genie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurtsimonw Posted December 7, 2023 Share Posted December 7, 2023 I understand them failing in the CL group is a bad thing, but overall ten Hag is overachieving and I just don't really understand the narrative. 3rd and a cup last season was overachieving, they're 3 points behind City, level with Spurs and above Newcastle. And their squad isn't even that good? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams can get fixated sometimes by unbeaten runs but not much use if you're unbeaten in five and four of them are draws as we've found out in the past when we've been challenging for top 4. Man. United will be 15 + points off Man. City come May. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an idiotic needy fanbase combined with morons like Neville in the media that overdo any loss United are level with Spurs and media praise for both managers couldn't be so different Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's done the right thing. That's one of his better decisions, most of their fanbase think Sancho has been a colossal waste of money and the stats back that up. Club also gave him time off last season to deal with mental health issues so not a good look he was calling out the manager on socials so early in the season after being dropped for the Arsenal game. Probably no surprise they've picked up in the final third giving Garnacho a few more starts, he's exactly the player they need to build around in final third now.

Davkaus Posted December 8, 2023 Share Posted December 8, 2023 The problem they have is you have a few bad apples in the dressing room, new players join, and feel like they can do the same. To look at Matic's comparison, nobody behaved like that at Chelsea. Would Pogba or Sancho feel like they could do the same if they rocked up there? Or do they become emboldened by a broken team culture. It's a similar problem to us when our group of senior players was Agbonlahor, Dunne, Collins... But then, if you're going to back the manager and let them dismantle that culture and build a new squad, writing off assets which you can't hope to cover the book value for...Do you trust ETH to be that manager? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's even funnier when you consider United were chasing Sancho for the best part of 2 years. It just shows that they didn't do their due diligence as apparently Sancho had a similar rep at Dortmund.
