All this stuff about a number 9 being the final piece in the jigsaw, United need 5 new players in key positions, otherwise the same thing will happen next season.

It's very easy to make the mistake of thinking a number 9 is the final piece in the jigsaw, when you could find a dead cat on the road, stick a kit on it and stick it up front and it would be a significant improvement on your current number 9.
 
The rags are not a team, they are a selection of highly-paid individuals who -most of the time- play like they couldn't give a fuck one way or the other.
There was something said a little while ago about Leicester City's first team not 'having the appetite for the battle.' I think mostly it was aimed at Maddison but can't be sure.
But it's the same with the vermin, half their players look totally disinterested. Instead of getting stuck in they seem to want to stay on the peripherals of the action, like they're saying: "Dunno. Don't want to get involved."

I would imagine it's fair to say that most of us here on this forum played football back in the day? Probably played for the school team? If so you would have known full well what it's like when the manager is -shall we say- not happy with your performance. The air in the changing room wasn't just blue it was almost black. He would go absolutely apeshit with anyone who wasn't putting in a shift, so by the time you went back onto the pitch you were fired up like never before. And it worked.

But with ten-bob I get the impression he doesn't seem particularly interested either, like some of his players. He is probably looking forward to having his own choice of players out there, doing what he's told them all to do.
Perhaps once he has his side playing his way they might improve a bit - I hope not, I like their current predicament.

I can imagine Steve maclaren talking to the players in his Dutch accent. To look important to tent peg. Like a football version of Gareth from the office.

It seems to be dragging on this doesn't it, could they be waiting until all the season tickets have been renewed and then tell them all the deal is off, and by the way the transfer pot is empty
 
Got a few rag texts today saying our come from behind away draw with the European champions was some sort of faikure

They’re a different breed the rags
