Well you might have watched more football than me, but I just think you have a very negative take on how United are currently playing. In fact, you might have replaced @balo as this thread's official doom merchant! -

Don't know who you are pal, but so far you've only shown us a talent for copy and pasting from wikipedia. Grealish can't get into arguably the best team in the world, not much shame in that. -

Why thank him? We're not arguing we are as good as Liverpool.... you were saying we were playing badly and Ten Hag was on his way. That was the nonsense Oh and I saw you calling Grealish and Mahrez midtable level players on another thread. There's a growing body of evidence that suggests you don't know a lot about football. -

Best performance of the season, and a few of us on here could see it coming. @mrbojangles I'd like to propose that you give Mavideol a 1 week ban for talking utter nonsense. -

Absolute rubbish. We created more than enough opportunities to win a tight game against a good team. -

Seriously cannot believe these refs are being paid to get these decisions wrong. How on earth can you watch that Sancho foul again with all the camera angles and not give a pen -

You are right. But like Ten Hag said the most important thing is to be playing well. Newcastle are a tough (and dirty) team -

Don't forget Foden (and most other City players) had his time out of the City starting XI. If you want a place in their team you need to be in red hot form, and that's the standard we need to get to at United..... I wouldn't write Sancho off just yet, you can guarantee he will be thinking about where he went wrong and looking forward to his next opportunity. -

But mate we were saying these things 2 years ago about the likes of Chong and that small kid who ended up in Portugal. Can't see many managers dropping a player like Rashford who is coming into his prime for a teenager. (Whether we think they should or not). First he's got to get ahead of the likes of Elanga in the pecking order. It's not going to be easy for him to get in the team when managers need to justify the transfer fees and high wages of first teamers. I think at United sometimes we are guilty of romantacising young players because we are hoping for another class of 92 or Busby babes. -

My point is though it's a huge step up. Heard great things about Garnacho. But look at the way that people like Chong or Garner never made the grade. -

I'm sure Nani would never lower his status with United fans by playing for Melbourne City. -

I agree the gameplan was wrong. We needed two defensive midfielders - but then you need to drop a) Eriksen our best player this season or b) Bruno who never seems to get dropped and is now the captain. It would have been a massive call to make coming off a run of wins. And on Garnacho, I wasn't too impressed with Sancho or Rashford either, but I'm pretty sure they would scare the <deleted> out of Barrow! -

You should have said won a European competition. Some would say getting a team from the Dutch league (one that can't compare to the 1970s or 1990s Ajax) to a Champions League semi-final is a trophy in itself. -

You might think his sacking (after winning an FA Cup) was harsh, but I think most United fans would agree that the football under LVG was some of the worst we have seen since Fergie. And that's saying something. Anyway - the point is international experience is neither here or there.... Klopp and Pep never managed internationally either! -

It's very confusing having a conversation with you. You are asking for international experience. My point is Van Gaal had international experience, and I think most United fans would agree he was <deleted> at United. -

I think it's an irrelevant point. Van Gaal had international experience and ETH already looks far better than what we saw under Van Gaal. (5555) -

Our tactics were wrong. We should have showed you the same respect as the prime Barca teams and set up with 2 banks of 4. If you are going to play on the break need to soak up the pressure properly. Hate to say it but Ole's tactics vs City were superior to ETH -

Group? You mean your shady scheme for shifting money around.
