wilai Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Just watched the BVB v PSG game, I was wrong about Haaland. He didn't look that much against us but he's turning into a monster and only 19! Think Harry Kane on speed. Man U defo missed out here whilst they were arguing with his agent.....not that I'm complaining like.???? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Young Jones would have been a help, getting a hat-trick in the 6-0 win for the kids.???? In all honesty though (apart from a couple of seconds at the end!) I wasn't worried about us dropping points, despite WHU playing as well as they could. Thought we were always in control and could (should) have scored more (18 shots off target!). Just a pity central defence wasn't as airtight as usual! All the lower ranked teams are raising their efforts against us but that is only to be expected. The 'Undefeated' tag is certainly a bit of a millstone round our neck but the players don't seem to let it affect them....even if The Kop does at times!???? BTW....anyone else getting sick of the commentators screaming "The flag stayed down" when everyone can see guys are yards offside but also know the new rules mean that assistant refs are told not to raise the bloody thing until the player scores! ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes to be fair it wouldn't have mattered if we lost to be honest, but nice to keep momentum going, all the way to Atletico I hope. I honestly would have preferred Jones to Baby Keith in that match. Seems the guy is right back to square one after his injuries, I feel for him, but I'm starting to wonder long term. The value of Henderson as a captain also shone for me in that match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep...Keita's stats are always up there, particularly the defensive side of his game but he doesn't seem to have regained his confidence in the offensive role. Bit of a quandary really as without a run of games he won't get it back but there are a number of alternatives such as AOC (who improved things as soon as he came on) and Minamino who also deserve a chance. And yes, we always miss Henderson's drive when he isn't playing. As for Jones, and indeed Elliott (who set up 3 last night) and co. Hopefully there will be plenty of opportunities towards the end of the season as long as we don't keep chasing the 'Invincibles' tag/Points record et al once we've clinched the title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it's interesting, I'm pretty sure Klopp will look at it as you have said, an opportunity to blood the youngsters and hopefully chase the CL and FA Cups with the first XI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wilai Posted February 25, 2020 Share Posted February 25, 2020 ^^^ Why only quote part of his response Rick? "Look for someone in the box And where runs are likely to be made."

First I would have just taken a few moments to thank Gary Neville for his years of service to United. Yes I take your point. It's probably the media training which squeezes anything interesting they might say out them. Absence of media training is what makes boxers, golfers and tennis players the best interviewees. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He could never really shoot but G Nev had an excellent cross on him, particularly from deep. Go back and watch footage of him and Becks on the right flank and I think you'll be surprised at the quality of the link up play. Maybe you and Bob could get together and do that on a quiet afternoon. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
