    And i guess you can now throw in an unfortunate loss ???? at home to a team that got beat by shefield wednesday and could only hold everton at home. They didn't even manage a goal against those 2 teams. 

    ????

    Indeed we can, We are where we are we sell a striker and two midfielders and no replacements makes us weaker imho.

    We have some good players but a few bang average players who also need replacing.

    I will also add Ole is too nice a guy to be a manager, He really needs to be ripping into this team as a few think they are better than they really are.

    By the way it was Sheff Utd mate.

    I don't think hugging frequency stats are that easy to come by... but don't worry, we don't need them. Because everybody knows Pep loves a grope and a whisper. 

     

    On to more serious matters Mr Boj... assuming both are fit, will Jesus be phased into the team more this season, or do you anticipate Aguero playing the majority of games? Seems he's given up on the idea of playing both. I'm still pinning my hopes on Sergio in the fantasy league. 

    I saw on Facebook a vid of Aguero and Pep having a go at each other, Was this because Jesus came on to replace him?.

    It's not often I agree with BB, but he is on the money here rick. 

     

    Reminds me of when you were all creaming your pants when OGs got a few lucky wins together last season. One fortunate win and a draw and you're at it again already. 

     

     

    We win games it's always lucky, And now add fortunate to the list ???? A 4-0 win against Chelsea and a very well earned draw against Wolves and we are fortunate.

    He's far from perfect. But let's not forget he does pop up with important goals, like FA Cup final for example.

     

    I certainly wouldn't be getting rid of him. He's United through and through, looks like he always gives everything and is pretty versatile. Isn't that what you want from a squad player Nev? I think the problem is he might be in the starting XI too much....

    He runs around a lot but his goal scoring has dried up, We really need someone better in his position I would throw Gomes in I really think that lad is ready.

    First half was brilliant. Just needed Martial to stick another of those chances away. At best I see him being an Andy Cole type who misses a few but scores a lot as well.

     

    Lingard was playing in midfield on Monday so I think we can cut him some slack? He might be a bit too limited to play further forward. One thing Jessie has got is pace and a fantastic engine, so I think he can do a job playing deeper. 

    What about the shot by Lingard first half, It was shocking in fact he had enough time to stop it and then take a shot but no he tried a leg swing at it.

  6. At the start of the season would we have taken getting 4 points off Chelsea and Wolves I think we would have.

    Most important is the way we played to get those points I am very satisfied with the performance's.

    Only downside is we are a couple of players short of what we really need so we will have to rely on young ones stepping up.

    Who else on here thinks Lingard is just not good enough, Stats are saying only one month out of the last 12 months has he scored or assisted that's just not good enough.

    ^^ never really thought he lacked commitment. when i've seen him admitedly under muri , he was played slightly deeper and just looked desperatly short of match fitness out of nick in cricket terms.. no surprise he's got injured ,so often happens when 'chasing 'fitness.  perhaps the recent run of chile games helped him along? .. if he doesnt get game time by xmas.. probably best he moves on .. be a  bloody shame to let such talent go to waste.

    I hope he does come good and takes his chance when he gets in the team.

    Really we should not be talking about him coming good or taking his chance he is paid superstar wages.

    My thoughts are that he was a class act, but his legs have gone. The younguns we have with raw pace will only compound that.

     

    Ole was playing the game. No point consigning him to the scrap heap, as that won't help shifting him. Also no point demoralising him if he's going to be with us for a while longer, I guess there is always a small chance we could see a renaissance....

    We are light on up front we might as well keep him until January.

    Let's hope he does come good and shows commitment like he does for Chile.
