NE1 Posted June 2, 2023 Share Posted June 2, 2023 Bruno needs to be stronger in Midfield and not get bullied , he has a tendency to throw himself on the floor expecting a free kick when this happens and sometimes it backfires. The refs tend to see him as a diver and moaner and I think it goes against him and the team. He needs to stand up and be counted . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedArmy Posted June 3, 2023 Share Posted June 3, 2023 To my fellow proper Reds - Yeh, i know, it's not an easy one to take - BUT - TWO Cup finals in one season AND top 4, - No more Thursday night / Sunday football (Dippers) ???? Lets hear it for INTER MILAN NEXT Saturday ???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets hear it for INTER MILAN NEXT Saturday ???? Well United have certainly done much better under ETH and supporters should be thankful for that, considering where they were. United were in the main, outplayed by City, although the match couldn't be described as a classic in any way, shape, or form. Now time for a big clear out and some new players, hopefully better than others we have signed recently. Just a couple of points on yesterday's game – – Rashford was injured for about the last 15 minutes and should have gone off because he could hardly walk let alone run. And it was pleasing to see AW-B in good form, because a while back he looked to be totally lost with his game, so the change has been quite remarkable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post JonnyF Posted June 8, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted June 8, 2023 Good to see Moyes winning the Europa final with West Ham. Makes you wonder what he could have achieved if he'd have been given a fair crack at United. In fairness, they did better than I'd expected in the FA Cup final against City. Obviously the penalty was a gift which they were unable to capitalize on but they did push them in the last few minutes. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE1 Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) I hope the keeper turns out to be a good buy. as for Mount I am not a fan of his , IMHO he is not that good . Jao Felix would have been a better buy. Kobbe Mainoo looks to have stepped up . The youngsters are performing well against a physical Wrexham side and Mejbri looks like he has stepped up. Needs to fill out a little though. Joe Hugill has impressed with limited service , so he will be hard to judge unless given a first team run out. I see Savage ( Reading ) and Elanga ( Forest ) have both left. Chong , Iqbal , and Laird have gone , probably want to play first team football elsewhere. Can't blame them. There were a lot of promising youngsters , but alas , they do not make it with us , but it doesn't make them bad players. Still need a goalscorer though.

NE1 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 Not impressed with the first half against Lens. I know it is pre season , but sloppy mistakes at the back and the inability to put the ball in the net still needs sorting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE1 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Still need a dynamic midfielder , Mount imho is not and never will be good enough . We need another central defender . Maguire's wages appear to be a stumbling block , there are clubs who want him and are willing to pay the transfer fee , but Harry thinks he is worth the £190,000 a week he is getting now , and I think he is the only one. Best Xl that is available at the moment.. Onana , Basaka , Varane , Martinez , Shaw , Casemiro , McTominay (nba ) , Sancho (nba) , Fernandez , Garnacho , Rashford.....(nba) means no better alternative at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think against smaller teams we should be playing Ericssen instead of Mount. Mount's pressing will be needed in the big games, a bit like Park Ji Sung Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyF Posted August 16, 2023 Share Posted August 16, 2023 Very fortunate to get a win over Wolves, especially with the blatant penalty for Wolves that they inexplicably refused to check VAR for. Seriously, what is the point of putting up with all the negative aspects of VAR when they still get massive decisions like that wrong by refusing to even check it?

The crowd saw it real time, the commentator saw it real time. It really didn't need VAR to award the penlaty. Not only did the ref not see it real time, he didn't even think it was worth looking at again on VAR. Bizarre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR could've asked the ref to stop the game if they thought it was a clear and obvious error by the ref. And they didn't. I think the VAR officials should be getting more heat than the ref. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
