De Gea - can't play with his feet
Malacia - will be playing for Southampton or Villa next season
Varane - at the end of his career, injury prone
Martinez - too short
Dalot - limited ability
McTominay - ha ha ha ha
Sancho - ability but no belief
Erikson - stop gap player at best
Fernandes - terrible against decent sides
Rashford - when are they going to admit he's not good enough?
Antony - not top drawer


Shaw - decent but not great
Martial - only plays when he feels like it
Casemiro - legs gone - (edit - couldn't get in the side ahead of McTominay - let that sink in)
Lindelof - below average
Maguire - see McTominay above
Fred - again, see above
Ronaldo - past his best, stroppy, a bad influence in the dressing room, huge wages.

.........and just think about the amount they've spent to get to this point.

Pretty much nailed it there, however I'd challenge Erikson, who is still a top player and Malacia, I think there may be a decent full back in there somewhere, although he was out of his depth yesterday and got about the level of support from his winger/midfield that Edgehill used to get while he was being scapegoated.

Good tactic from City yesterday in terms of overloading both full backs and largely not playing through the middle, neither FB had any help and were constantly 2/3 v 1

Since the end of bullying time, they have brought/loaned in (ie not including home grown):

Mata
Fellaini
di Maria
Shaw
Herrera
Rojo
Blind
Falcao
Milinkovic-Savic
Martial
Schneiderlin
Depay
Darmian
Schweinsteiger
Romero
Pogba
Mkhitaryan
Bailly
Ibrahimovic
Lukaku
Matic
Lindelof
Sanchez
Fred
Dalot
Grant
Maguire
Fernandes
Wan-Bissaka
James
Ighalo
van de Beek
Diallo
Telles
Pellistri
Cavani
Sancho
Varane
Ronaldo
Antony
Casemiro
Martinez
Malacia
Eriksen

Lots of 'chuck money at a big name and hope', lots of 'well they turned out to be crap in United's squad', lots of 'why and where are they now'.

Of that list, I'd say... Mata, Shaw, Blind, James & Eriksen, come across as decent (not in the footballing sense) chaps.

There's not many that come across as 'decent footballers at United'

You could fertilise all of Europe with that amount of shite.

Erikson used to disappear against us when we played Spurs and he was at the top of his game. He is/was a good player but not a great player.
Malacia - maybe.

I'd never heard of the malaria fella until I was driving back and he was mentioned on the radio.
I was quite surprised to find out I'd just seen him live

Tent peg, when asked why Ronaldo didn’t play or get substituted on:’out of respect for his career’

AKA: how to say a player is past it and useless to the team without saying ‘he’s past it and useless to the team’

Also makes it sound like eric went into the game knowing what was to come, so had to pick an 11 to be sacrificed to ridicule. What a losing mentality.

They’re all just shit actors playing the part of United (or whatever club they’re pretending to support) fans to earn money off the back of them being massive and fucking shit.

We shouldn’t be promoting them on here imo.

I’d agree with their left back Malacia, although he was outplayed yesterday, he does have the look of a decent player.
Also agree with your comment of overloading both wings and not playing through the middle. I think MoTD highlighted where Malacia was outnumbered and not getting any help. It worked brilliantly and the number of times Grealish was involved shows it played to his strength.
