a lot of problems with the United squad before even getting to CR7

De Gea is a great keeper, a great shot stopper, but lacks the control and kicking game of other great modern day keepers (Neuer, Alisson, Ederson) which is important when playing the ball out from the back... if Maguire wasn't English, the world's most expensive defender and didn't have the captain's armband, he'd have been dropped after the Leicester game --> hard to remember as diabolical a run of form from a CB at a big club as Maguire this season... Lindelof is soft and bad in the air... Dalot cannot defend, Wan Bissaka can't attack... Shaw's decision making and conditioning is a problem... McTominay and Fred are simply not good enough to be starting CMs for United because their only attributes (running, positioning, workrate) are off ball --> as soon as they get the ball, it's all sideways, rudimentary, or sh*t the bed... Rashford and Greenwood are selfish, glory hunting footballers --> head down, blinkers on and just try and score a goal --> pretty much CR7 wannabes without the talent and determination... Fernandes is wasteful... Sancho has not fit in as yet... Martial wants out... Van de Beek must suck on the training paddock considering how little his managers rely on him etc.

Totally agree that their squad wasn’t up to scratch even last season but we’ve been reading just how top quality squad they have . Once again it’s only the minority saying this.
But they we’re playing better last season.
Maguire is a championship level defender, nothing more nothing less. This has been posted in here a while ago.
Wan Bissaka and Shaw were talked up last season, Shaw as the best left back in the PL and so on. For all his shortcomings Mourinio is no idiot when it comes to ability of players .
Realistically speaking they have only 1 decent defender and that’s Varane .
Fred and Mac Tominay are rubbish, again we’ve laboured on this many times but with the arrival of Ragnick all of a sudden Fred was a player that Guardiola wanted blah blah blah and that Ralph will get the best out of him.
Fernades is wasteful ? I would say overrated, his penalties have dried up and so have his goals. He offered nothing yet again today.
And this new system that Ragnick is trying to implement something like a 4-4-2 box where you need players with transitional movement and a high work rate Fernandes certainly doesn’t fit into it the way he plays.
Pogba was another waste of money signing, he never really settled in and has wanted to leave since last season.
The only positions they have covered is up front , other teams would kill to have some of the players they have up front but the team now plays to suit Ronaldo , and if Ronaldo doesn’t play he has his supporters making public statements in his favour.

Anyway. Enough of United lol

Will be interesting seeing the games tonight. Would expect Liverpool to beat Leicester but you never know in football I guess?

More concerned about the Chelsea game in all honesty. Win both of those and ...

Mate I’ve also raised the red flags about Ronaldo . He is good to sell jerseys, facial products and be a poster boy of how you can convert a mouth full of teeth that look like Stonehenge into a nice smile .
But from a football perspective he’s really set that team back , all the goals have to be scored by him and nothing else matters.
But some of their fans don’t see this, they just make up excuses.
The latest excuse is that the players contracted a new virus called Pudding21 . This virus is specific to just the Xmas period and only affects Man Utd players .

Love your work hahahahaha

Geez Allison makes some comical errors, good keeper
But when he fucks up he really shits the bed
Never seen a top keeper do that on so many occasions

Swear Brazilian keepers are all the same. Even Ederson does some bullshit too. Great keepers. Probably two of the best in the world right now. But fuck they can make you scratch your head at times. I think they just get bored at the back half the time.

The mighty coach has graced us with his presence. Strange that one never finds him on the banter thread when his team is losing ... LOL

 

[Tassie Devil]

The banter thread. Love it. Bring it on lads.

Though, it's not much of a banter thread when you can't play @coach, is it? Forever hiding and too scared to play with the big boys LOL

Come on mate. I'm sure mummy will let you come and play

 

[LFC Bulldogs]

I love it that the only joy some supporters get these days is when their rivals lose .It’s affirmation that their club is doing shit and their rivals are flying high.
Talk about throwing a starving dog a bone to feed on. We’ve lost just our 2nd game of the season in the PL and suddenly we are “choking”

Theres not much we can do about it, it is what it is and these results will happen especially in a very congested match schedule this time of the year in a rough comp like the PL
The “choking” will only stope when the PL reduce the heavy Xmas match schedule , or when we become ruthless cocksuckers like some in here and master the art of gag reflex control .
The latter won’t be happening because we are LFC .
We are still in
We are still in the hunt not only for the PL title but others also , Man City will drop points because the PL has a beauty no other football comp has.
Weve just made it harder for ourselves , that’s all. If we had okayed bad and lost I’d be more worried but that game should have been done and dusted by halftime.

LOLLLL It's fucking Mo Saleh and his family Christmas spectacular. Three seasons in a row he has uploaded his family Christmas shots on social media and we've started losing consecutive games. It's no longer a coincidence LOL. STAAAAAAAP IT MO! FFS

Arsenal never learn if that's the case. Madness for them to buy him.

dont even need coutinho when we have oddegard and smith rowe in that position rather get a striker and another cdm/cm first

Odegaard is a massive in for Arsenal. RM messed up big time not picking him up, and Liverpool dropped the ball not making a serious play for him, they were his favourite team growing up.
