United thread 2019/20

[ws01]

Looking at United last night, they really are nowhere;-

De Gea - Past his best - only saves shots directed at his feet and makes a mistake every third game
Williams - I thought he was their MOTM last night for effort - but very limited technically
Jones - Ha ha ha - name me any team with Champion's League aspirations that would play him
Lindelof - OKish but found wanting on at least one goal, needs another defender to look after him
Wan-Bissaka - good defender but offers absolutely nothing going forward (the opposite of TAA)
Pereira - watched him a few times and I've no idea what he does
Fred - Lidl version of Fernandinho (and that's being generous)
Rashford - just plays for himself and as for him being captain;- have you ever seen him speak on the pitch?
Lingard - see Pereira
James - one trick pony that got found out after 4 games
Greenwood - unfair to judge one so young - had one chance and screwed it wide and set up Rashford's goal.

It's a horrendous squad. You could count on one hand the number of their players who would get into our entire squad.

That's the value of having a DoF in this day and age - you leave your CEO and other commercial types mostly out of it and can coordinate recruitment over a long stretch, instead of accumulating a bunch of misfits as remains from the individual managers you fired.

This squad reminds me of when the Duckworths won the pools & put cladding on their shitole.

From DiMaria , Falcoa, Pogba, Sanchez, Ibra, they now get excited about Greenwood & Chong.

It's a horrendous squad. You could count on one finger the number of their players who would get into our entire squad.

Edited as I think you're still being too generous ;)

In 2005 the rags sold their club to a Peter Swales, I reckon they have another 15 years of decline we are in safe hands.

With a tray of chips and a cheesy smile?

At least it was a smile.

Highest wage bill in the premiership wow those kids must be paid well.

Loving the media narrative. Poor old impoverished United - existing on a shoestring, smallest squad in the PL (could have sworn all clubs had the same size squads), just getting by with a few kids. Sounds more like Crewe Alexandra than the Rags who’ve actually been the top spenders in the PL over the last 5 years and who have the leagues highest wage bill - but the media are in full on “poor old United” mode today. Clearly they need to blow another £300m to be competitive against the likes of Norwich, Watford and Sheffield United.
