United thread 2018/19

[blue b4 the moon]

I'd be wary of comparing these types of players. There are so many factors that affect how each performs. The system they're in, the position they're played in (whether they're bring utilized the right way by the manager), the players around them, general form etc.

Sterling hasn't been as brilliant with England as he has with City. Neither has DeBryune, with Belgium. I think someone like Pep makes everyone look better as does Klopp at Liverpool.

I think that Pogba would be on a higher level if he were at City, having movement and runners like Sterling and Sane In front of him, rather than Donkeys like Lukaku. Or static forward-wingers like Mata.

But I still wouldn't start comparing them because it's so difficult to do and form fluctuates to significantly that people's opinions of the same player fluctuate almost whimsically. A player goes from world class to overrated overnight, if you read forums.

I genuinely don't think there's much in it when it comes to the top bracket of footballers. I don't think Kroos or Modric are necessarily that much better than DeBryune, if at all. Or that DeBryune is much better than Pogba, if at all. I think some are in a better situation to use their talents. Modric and Kroos help each other in a midfield of 3 where Casemiro does the dirty work. DeBryune plays for the best offensive manager in world foot all. Pogba plays for a nothing manager, and in an abysmal system. I can't imagine how good he'd look playing under Pep.

He not make our team, he's not got the energy in my opinion even if the rest of your post was correct.

You’ve obviously not been paying attention. We beat Chelsea 6-0, which actually flattered them.
But that Chelsea xi were awful, they’d give up, the players were not playing for the manager and the tactics were all wrong.

United turn up, beat the exact same xi, using the exact same tactics 2-0. Chelsea very unlucky with the officials and yet United were back to their best, their football(hood & rush) was apparently scintillating.

It’s perfectly fine by me, let the media convince the lemmings that everything is once again, brilliant. All memories of the predictable 0/2 dry bumming PSG gave them airbrushed from history.

Until all this stops, until they actually wake up a smell the manure, nothing will actually change.
United, the media will look on all perplexed when we go there and play them off the park. Or Wolves who have tactically brilliant manager knocks them out of the cup.
Liverpool are perfectly suited to smash them, but let’s hope it’s the usual gutless Liverpool that turn up at Old Trafford.

I see what you did there.

Used to enjoy visiting Belle Vue zoo when I was little.
Unfortunately it declined so much that in the end it only contained one animal, a dog

It was a Shitzu. ......

Ba dum tish.

Don’t ring us; we’ll ring you.

I know, Pogba is the same level as KDB. They are both unstoppable when on form.

Pogba is a show pony and Kevin is a thoroughbred race horse

They're carbon copies of each other. Neither is necessarily worse than the other. Although I'd argue that a lot of the sponsorships for PSG are related to Qatar while a lot at City are related to the Emirates for a reason. It's almost a marketing vehicle for the owners. How many times have you seen a "visit Dubai" or a "Visit Qatar" at the matches?

It benefits the respective clubs though. So everyone should be happy, in a way.

I’ve never seen "Visit Dubai" nor "Visit Qatar" at Etihad, though I have seen "Visit Abu Dhabi" thousands of times.

By the way, regarding the entire situation, it was funny to read Redcafe.
For people holding such strong moral compass, a lot of them where sooooo ready for a takeover by the Saudi. They shit all day on arab money when it is City and PSG but they are welcoming the worst of the lot : Saudi Arabia !
The fact a minister had to say that they don't intend to buy United is worrying though. You don't publicly deny like that for something that is not compromising if there is no intent.

Hypocrisy is rife on Sad Café!

Your English is fantastique!

Possibly the best of any of our non-anglophone posters.

I had a big disagreement with u over pogba couple years back...
You were right..i was wrong.he is shit. An over rated,over inflated , ego in a red shirt.i,d be embarrassed to be earning the money he is on ,to have been part of a team that was 7th for much of the season,but now the nasty manager has gone..i,ll start playing.it was all the previous managers fault obviously. Never mind playing for the shirt,your enourmous weekly wage.,or to justify the transfer fee...
It doesnt matter to me what he achieves for the rest of this season/career...he is arrogance personified,dirty,snidey,a born show off,and prone to down-tools-at the drop of a hat...so pleased we didnt sign him...and even more pleased that he is elated at being 4th,and possibly winning the bbc cup.
Light years behind City utd....light years.

Top post!

Are you still pretending to be a blue or have you given that up?
