United thread 2018/19

More interested in instagram than football

So is Mendy.
Wouldn't fancy Pogba here though. No doubt a decent fotballer, but thnk Baconface may have been right about him.

 

[aguerrrroooooooooooo]

Ah yes,well this is the difference,they are not a top 3 team,arguably not top 6 in some books,including me,but you have taken time to analyse their squad,and have used back up scenarios,who would probably get into most top European sides,but not necessarily English ones

To be honest though,I don't know why I'm responding really,I ain't stopped laughing at the description you gave for Pogba,he is fucking awful

You seem to be missing the point, the original debate was as to how far Uniteds sqaud is away from challenging for the title. What potential backup players would get into these top European sides?
Pogba has shown at Juve and France he's capable of being a top player.
Not to mention the second half against us at our place

 

[mancity2012_eamo]

In all honesty would you have Pogba here? I'm not saying we should go and make him a target but no one can deny he was brilliant at the world cup. With a top manager and an arm round his shoulder I think he could be decent in the prem...

I can deny it quite easily. he showed more than he does for united but a long way from brilliant.

Yup definitely Mendy's fault he's had injury issues

I might be going out on a limb here but I reckon most will believe Cook over you.

Very naïve then, Cook isn't going to come out and say they are all money grabbers are they. Christ

Repetitive thumb strain. Nasty.

United's current state is for me is beginning to look like a parallel of the end of the Busby era. Long period of success under one manager, but no back up plan and a succession of failed appointments, none of whom were ever likely to come anywhere near to emulating him. Then years in the wilderness apart from the odd cup along the way.

Or relegation even.

I don’t know but clearly Mourinho says something provocative to make Pogba react, knowing full well that any interaction will be forensically analysed.

Wouldn't be the first time people have forgotten that they're being watched. Remember the England teamsheet being on full view of a hundred telephoto lenses at the World Cup? Or indeed the Mancini/Balotelli scrap.

 

[Sir peace frog]

They both know the cameras are on them.

of course they do so why act like a **** , its a fucking circus, but don't say you weren't warned ,you panicked signed Mourinho and its blown up in your face.

You're talking to a guy whose username is "Falcao"

Panic signings that blow up in your face don't phase him at all.

The point I'm making is like you have put,on paper they have some goodish players,it's the manager that's a clown.

Herrera, Lingard, would get a gig in Spain or Italy

That was a rookie error from Southgate's assistant at the World Cup. I thought the Balotelli incident was because of lack of suitable privacy at your old training ground?

They would have known (at least Jose certainly would have) that TV cameras would be allowed in today for training.

I think you're seriously overestimating those two players to believe they'd get in a top European side

 

[MCFC1993]

Hahaha.

 

[manimanc]

They both know the cameras are on them.

And your point is?
Please don't tell me they was playing up for the cameras!
Well knock me down with a feather, they are mates after all.

 

[crazyg]

I suspect maths isn't your strong point ;-)

Not my maths at fault (Maths & Further Maths at "A" level 50 years ago). Thought we were on 13 points, but that was after 5 games. Just a brain fart - I'm getting old and used to them by now.
;-)

Mourinho is such a sly ****. No other word for him. United were mad to take him at this stage of his career, a pure desperation move because we got Pep. Would be more thn happy for us to sign Pogba, though I can't stand the thought of us working with his agent so he can fuck off.

It would appear that poor old bobby charlton was bang on about hiring mourinho. He was dead against it,and was only silenced when they agreed to name a stand after him.perhaps the most telling sign of how utd were wrong ,and charlton was right.....is the plethora of empty seats in the stand this season.
This is only going to get worse,and more embarrassing, for the utd hierarchy .

 

[Rolee]

Backup to new signings they'd need to make. That's my entire point, they're miles away off having a sqaud that would compete for the league

So Mourinho actually performed brilliantly last season to get the points haul he did then?

Sure, but experienced people make rookie errors all the time. That's kind of the reason why the cameras follow them around in the hope they will. Same applies to the City example - they knew full well there was a lack of privacy, and that the cameras were on them. It still happened.

Rash ford averages a goal every 2.75 matches for Utd or a 13 or 14 goal season if he played 38 premier league matches in a season . Very ordinary. A solid 10 goal a season player. Less in a mid table side....

A big reason why you cannot go by stats, he's a talented player. If we went by stats few would've touched Salah after Chelsea much less De Bruyne. How you are used figures heavily into stats.

You put Rashford into City with Pep and you have a vastly different result
