Man Utd Thread:

[lurganblue]

Cavani runs into the lad and falls, because he knows he isnt gonna get to Konsa.  He's chosen the wrong angle.   Ramsey does little more than stand there.  It's soft as f*ck and you'd not want that decision to go against your own team.  The sad fact is that if the rolls were reversed, that goal stands for Utd. It would barely be examined.

This time last year a Ronaldo-less Man Utd were top of the league.

It would be difficult to argue that he has improved the team based on this years showing.

I'd agree with that if this was an individual sport, but there are 10 other players plus subs to come on that have input into the game, now unless Ronaldo has come in and changed the training dynamic then yes, but is there evidence of this?

as I said on here before I just don't see what Rafnick is trying to do, under Carrick and even under solskjaer (yes I know there were several shocking peformances) Utd were playing some decent spells of football and were in the main watchable.. over their last 5-6 games they have been truly awful, unwatchable, incapable of stringing 10 consecutive passes together, he talks about this press yet Wolves and Villa completely played through them with a sheer lack of tackling and press..


is this guy a fraudster?

And coupled with all that... there seems to be zero team unity and playing for each other..

Utd at the moment are probably the worst footballing side in the premier league in terms of watchability

Ramsey is offside, he's interfering with an active player. Foul or no foul he has no right to be making any sort of block.

It's a set screen play, many a time is gets going but in this case it was picked up. Doesnt change the fact he knew exactly what his role in that set play was and he carried it out and blocked Eddie off.

Lucky to get the call for sure.

Exactly.  Olivier actually deemed it not a foul but it was still offside because it met the lower threshold of interfering with a player preventing him from playing or challenging for the ball.  Cavanai probably doesn't get to the initial header if not blocked off but there's a good chance he stops it getting knocked across so easily.  Ive never liked VAR though and would rather it didnt exist.

Man City are almost everything that is wrong with professional football. I'm not sure they should be the barometer of anything apart from the fact that they have one of the greatest managers the game has seen. I would like to dig down deeper into those commercial Revenue figures and I'm sure there is plenty of creative accounting at play. If they didn't have the most expensive lawyers they would be currently banned from Europe.

It's really quite mental that they will use every possible avenue to cheat the system.

It's almost at mental again that the average man on the street, instead of calling it out for systemic cheating that leads to uncompetitive sport, applauds their style of football.

I hate them.

They never were in the first place

[Milltown Row2]

Madrid Barcelona and United are the top three in that order.

That hasn't changed too much in many years

You are on social media. Unfortunately that's life.

Newcastle are probably the richest club in the world

What do you base it on? League titles?

Social media following isn't a measure of how one can determine the biggest clubs in the world
They are the richest in the world. Doesn't make them a big club though.
I base it off everything, not social media followers haha
