The Official Manchester United Thread

Recommended Posts

Watching the Palace game emphasised to me just how slow we really are.

Pellistri and Højlund were making some great runs but we are not delivering.

We always want that extra touch or two or we haven't got the skill or confidence to find the runners.

I remember Ferguson telling Scholes , Rooney , Carrick etc. "if they can't find Van Persie when he is making his runs , he will find somebody who can ".

 

Rashford once again is to predictable .

Højlund looked good last night. Looks like a good signing.

 

Onana is having a 'mare though. United's one saving grace last season was their defence (mainly due to DDG) and now they look like they need to score at least 4 to have a chance of winning.  

 

Could be tough to qualify from here...

Although I am a supporter, I am not a fanatic and would like to see them do well.........but if they don't then c'est la vie and my life goes on!!

 

Mentioning fanatics, ofttimes when I am looking at Match of the Day on BBC iPlayer, I see people gesticulating rudely at the opposition players, and/or screaming and shouting as if they are going to have a breakdown. When I used to watch Brighton and Hove Albion as a boy, going there with a family friend who was a supporter, I never saw any of this behaviour, everyone was well behaved and there was none of that rubbish.

How times have changed.
 

you are correct, it's a pity to see the type of supporters some teams have, my 2 cents are that they go the game not to watch the game itself  but more for the trouble and exteriorize their bad behavior

As an adjunct to my previous post, it just so happens that I played in three Sussex Senior Cup finals on Brighton's ground in the late 60s, in front of an average crowd of about 8000 supporters, and again, never saw any of that type of behaviour.

 

I think you're right about going to the game to "exteriorize their behaviour", and I recall something similar a few decades ago with a gang of Chelsea fans who would go to the games to cause mayhem and to injure/stab people, rather than for the football.

Imagine replacing one of the best keepers in the world in De Gea and you get Onana in return. 
 

 

Onana was about the only player who bothered to turn up yesterday, some cracking saves.

He will probably get the sack before Christmas. 
 

 

On the plus side, he seems quite a lucky manager. They're flattered by their current league position due to some late goals in very poor performances.

 

On the down side, he has a very poor squad that can't play the type of possession football that he wants to play. He'll do well to finish top 6 with those players, assuming he lasts the season.

IMHO they lack vision and speed to get the ball moving , there doesn't appear to be any one touch football played , the majority of them just do not require the skill

 By the time they get the ball under control and looked up every body has been closed down .

We need to play the ball forward quicker.

Do or die tonight , they need this win.
