United Thread - 2021/22

[Marvin]

I don't understand why Utd have taken made such a big step backwards this season.

On face value, Shaw and Maguire are the 2 players whose game has dipped significantly. Perhaps Shaw's game has been affected by the absence of Trashy?

I think the signing of Ronaldo has damaged them to an extent in that the workrate of their side must have fallen significantly. Ronaldo has scored some outstanding individual goals but his inability to press puts more physical pressure on the rest of the side. Ronaldo is going to deteriorate over the next 2 seasons.

Utd fans will be hoping that Maguire and Shaw's dip in form will be reversed.

No. He's a council estate Manc lad brought up by a single Mum during austerity and now using his priveleged position to bring about positive change. As somebody has said earlier, put rivalries aside. He's pure class.

Rashford accepted his MBE. That undermines any working class hero argument.

so over on sad cafe they are debating what player will dominate world football over the next decade.
Mason Greenwood is trending quite well! trouble is i cant tell if they are serious or taking the piss! And I dont think some of the contributors can either .

'This is the not the Man United that we know' - thats right Kelly, it is indeed no longer 1994............... :-)

Lol ... so true! :-)

Ronaldo has scored some outstanding individual goals but his inability to press puts more physical pressure on the rest of the side.

Coupled with Dr Gashfoot / Miserable Marshall on the left and Jaded Sanchez / Mason Sturridge on the right with the Rat in the hole and Jogba anywhere on the pitch makes their press non-existent upfront.

Lovely stuff.

I liked Rock me, Amadeus ....

I'll get me powdered wig, silver snuff box and buckled shoes. And brocaded coat. Obviously!

We really are like neo with the amount of bullets we've dodged, who've end up at the swamp. Clear and organised?

;-)))))

It has to be no way it’s a coincidence

And now we’re trying to drop Rogers on them :O

I reckon they’ll bite aswell. Hook line and sinker once again!

Not everybody is a Republican

Conte was available. He could have used Ronaldo, Sancho and Pogba, as he had done at Chelsea with Costa, Hazard and Fabregas. I suppose he wouldn't genuflect at the altar of their former manager. I would love Rodgers for them, as he would be out of picture for City.

I’m dead against the honours system and respect those who refuse one. I would, however, never criticise anyone from Rashford’s background, the same as my own, for taking one if offered.

He’s a hero, regardless of class.
