Manchester United

[the other bob wilson]

Are so ordinary this season, they’ve just gone a goal down after fifty five minutes - it’s fifty minutes overdue. Newcastle have had 18 goal attempts to Man United’s 2.

Wouldn't mind playing them in the FA Cup.

Re: Manchester United

United seem to blow hot and cold - as a team and as individual players.
When they played Everton recently, they were by far the better team, despite Everton having an incentive to win after just having points deducted and being a solid unit anyway.
It's been suggested that United are lacking fitness - which may well explain their inconsistency, especially as they are competing (allegedly) in the Champions League this season.

They won easily enough at Everton in the end, but I thought they were very lucky to get to half time without conceding at least once - the game was there to be won by Everton in the first half.

Re: Manchester United

They really should have done all they could to get Bellingham, and built a team around him…..good knows how many100’s of millions they’ve blown on other players in the last 5 years.

Bellingham is a class act at Madrid. The Madridista love him. Doubt if he would have developed as a player so quickly at Manure

I agree with this. Also I think that Howe’s influence is understated. When what was effectively his Bournemouth B team totally humiliated the just-relegated Bluebirds in the League Cup at the CCS in September 2014 it was apparent that he was a special talent. Last night reminded me of that humiliation. United could not get possession for the first hour and should have been at least 3 down by half time.

Yes, superb.

I've been listening to Alex Ferguson's autobiography on Audible though, which I'm enjoying.

The only other club I look out for is Forest Green Rovers.

They'd have ruined him.

Hard to see Ten Haag lasting much longer.
Their problems go much deeper than him but he has gone round in circles with his team selections and alienated players, even though he might have had good cause to.

Players paid too much and holding the club to ransom.

Same here. Why are we discussing this?

I’ve just read a Alex Ferguson autobiography, it was an old one from a charity shop but it was just as he was retiring I think and what was very clear was as soon as a player got to big for his boots, didn’t matter who they were Keane, Beckham, Van Nistelrooy that they were gone. There was a reason Pogba was let go in the same way.

Since he left, they seem to have bought poorly, but also the wrong type of people, also even youth players seem to think they are above it all. They need a huge rebuild and a top manager, although not sure who could turn that mess around.
