Personally - I hope we get knocked out of this competition ASAF sp as we can concentrate on the League  ????

 

Disagree mate, IMO we have a big squad and this comp is important to give players a run out and blood youngsters.

 

Keep Maguire out of the team and we seem to do alright!

 I saw it happen to him a couple times and these couples time he missed the easy shot, these time it appears he had more luck

Looks like his luck is continuing as Sancho banged in another one tonight ????

He's very calm and composed in those tight areas in and around the box. Makes space for himself. Don't think any of our other wide players can offer that regularly.

 

Only saw the highlights but looked like we never got out of 2nd gear..

We looked very composed throughout the match - 3 points & a clean sheet - Strongest possible line up, no underestimating the opposition & Harry back where he belongs - On the bench ????

Listen lads I usually watch the full replay the day after without knowing the score. But have a <deleted> load of work to finish before the end of the month. Just had 2 weeks off

 

It's bloody Sheriff give me a break! 

 

For the record, it was 00.45 kick off where I was. In normal circumstances would be tempting

I still have to get up at 6:30am every morning to take my daughter to school.

 

The other night in the not the thursday night comp ???? I went for a nap at 11pm, woke up at 1:45, watched the footy, went to bed at 4am and up at 6:30am. Hate those kick off times but I just gotta watch it live

I feel no guilt whatsoever with watching full replay the next day without knowing the score.

 

This month however I gotta pay the bills so wouldn't have had time the next day.

I think we've been through my background enough times when Bredbury used to post.

 

However if you have anything against cockney reds you might want to take that up with Red Army. And I know he is a proper red

Old school Cockney Red & well respected amongst older Reds up & down the country - The Manchester boys always respected us as we were at the forefront of many a battle back in the day - We came across many opposition fans at Euston Station & had many battles even before we boarded our train - Good times & good memories.

I am also pleased that Maguire is on the bench , I still think we need another decent centre back and above all else, a goalscorer.

Has it never struck you that even though you are successful, not many people outside Stockport actually want to support City.

 

I mean considering the past few years, it's actually pathetic how much of a national / international fanbase you have. 

[RickG16]

How good can Lisandro Martinez get? Thread from another forum. A lot to like about this lad, but maybe above all the attitude he brings to the team is top notch.....

Dalot scoring two goals (with his left foot!), Bruno getting one, Eriksen running the show vs the world champions.

 

Ronaldo and Maguire struggling.

 

Seems like you can't disguise club form.

Well done for Rick keeping the flag flying. Hard for me to have a lot of interest in this stop, start season. After this international "contest" we will have to endure a WC in a country that should never have got the guernsey. I have friends/former team mates who are reasonably well but after checking out costs of flights and accom they won't be going. FIFA the hot bed of corrupt decisions.

 

But to MU, interesting the rapid improvement in Dalot ,not just this last game but though the start of this season, remembering he is still only 23 years of age.  Same goes for Mc Tominay, watched his last, and best game, for Scotland ,much more composed on the ball ,ETH effect ? who knows.

 

Erikson has to be the best "free" of the season, the guy is sheer class ,sorry Poggs you are not missed at all.

 

Time will tell but the EtH influence seems to be rubbing off on most ,even Luke Shaw is looking fitter that I can remember. 

 

Lastly the Mason Greenwood situation seems to be never ending. As I understand the dribble of news coming throughg says he is on bail and still receiving wages. Wasn't this incident last January, hopefully not an indicator of the pace of England's justice system.

agree with you.... why Southgate selected Maguire and Shaw still a mistery but he's the man in charge.

Maguire originated counter attack by Germany for the 2nd goal not mention the 2st when Maguire faulted the guy to a penalty kick but Shaw was involved on the loss of the ball as well, great players MU has there

Congratulations to the Manager of the month & the player of the month.

Bit surprised Rashford won that to be honest. I mean he's been good but best in the PL? Really?

Short month - I think 2 goals & a couple of important assists swung things in his favour.

Remember Mr Knighton?

 

United was up for grabs for just 12 million. Can't tell me that with a bit or organisation the fans couldn't have bought the club. There was 60k of them at every home game. Just 200 squids apiece. At the very least they could have gotten a controlling interest.
