mrbojangles Posted August 8, 2020 Share Posted August 8, 2020 You lot are amazing. You come on the City thread and sling mud everywhere. The amount of flack we have had to take but give you a bit back and you don't like it. Typical RAG's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need your gloating bare ar*ed blue moon, it is undignified and ungentlemanly. Please, at least be funny if you cannot be clever. Obviously a short memory. The pain I had to put up with from United fans when I was growing up. Amazing how you can't take it nowadays and it's "ungentlemanly".

RickG16 Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 Interesting to see which team he goes with tonight. Personally I would judge it on the fitness of the individual players and play a stronger team than the last game, but maybe give certain players an extra rest. Still it would be nice to see the Matic - Pogba - Bruno midfield in action again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be opposed to that, but I'd also consider giving Tim Fosu-Mensah another go on the left instead of Williams, who I think can be a liability sometimes. But since Williams appeared at the press conference I think he will be playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to beat the system. 22 penalties this season, roughly a quarter of United's goals this season have come from penalties and this AGAIN was not one.

Only a couple of the pens have been dodgy though. We are not the most polished outfit, but we do have a very direct attacking style, with very fast players bombing into the box. That's the reason for the number of pens. Not extraordinary really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have at least double the amount of pens than 85% of the league. And you're only one penalty away from having triple the amount of penalties than 75% of the league. And this because you charge like Operation Barbarossa every week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are acting like statistics are meant to be completely uniform. Sometimes you have anomalies. But I wouldn't even call this one. Good teams tend to get more pens so your 85% stat means nothing. Watch some NBA. And note how being able to draw more fouls is considered a desirable attacking trait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't watch the game, however from all of the commentaries I've read, United should have won because of the chances they had, but then again it's the same old story, if you don't take your chances, then you will regret it, and they did. Something I've said before, and I now believe it's quite obvious, is that United need to have a clear out of older/unfit/unwanted players and look to sign a few new good players. And for me, that does not include the likes of Lionel Messi, or Gareth Bale, where you are paying a fortune for the things they've done in the past, probably far too long in the past. Jordan Sancho was well overpriced, but there again it didn't stop United paying well over the top for Sanchez, so who knows, but there will have to be some good younger talent available in the leagues around the UK and Europe, it's just that United can't seem to find them! Having said that, Greenwood has been a good find, but I don't rate Williams or most of the other youngsters they brought into the side, so broader horizons needed.
