Man Utd Thread:

[snoopdog]

Low quality match but a hard earned and deserved win in the end, created the best chances in game and eventually took one. Improvement from the league game in the City ground when lost and conceded two goals.

Quarter final exit looks most likely now after that draw and will do well to avoid a trimming speaking of a trimming it should be at least 2 or 3 goal margin victory for the blue half in the Manchester Derby on Sunday.

Liverpool are a mess with injuries at the moment. The Kids stuff will catch up. As bad as Utd are they are streets ahead of Southampton. Plus the game is a home game for Utd.

I wouldn't bet on utd beating anyone. We have our own injury concerns. They have the desire and a manager they want to play for.

Here in lies the problem, this group have picked and chosen when they wanted to play and who they wanted to play for, for too long now.

I would imagine that in a the high performance environment that INEOS want to create this attitude will not be tolerated and would be one of the first things addressed.

Total lack of speed in the play, Garnacho being sacrificed over on the left to accommodate Anthony. I know the injuries are there but players out there must start taking a bit of responsibility.

Times up for Fernandes. His attitude and constant yapping would drive you demented. Play acting rolling around the floor then hoping up a minute later nothing wrong with him. He'll be gone before you can say INEOS.

Interesting no red card for forest when Feilpe grabbed Fernandes by the neck. Same as Cassemiro. Yet another very poor VAR decision.

Agree with what you say, but there are alot more pressing problems than Fernandes.

That unfortunately is very true

ETH comments on Antony would not sit well with a lot of supporters I would imagine "When he's on top form, he is unstoppable.  No defender can stop him".  I know his man management has been questioned previously, but I don't think anyone believes that Antony is going to come good and potentially justify anywhere close to his price tag.

Bruno is one of the bright sparks in a decidedly average squad. He gives absolutely everything for the team in every game, despite being played mostly out of his favoured position.

With a functioning midfield around him he is a world class player.

Is he being played out of position? He's been a number 10 most of the season.  Has been shifted out to the right a few times but Garnacho seems have that spot nailed down at moment.

Is there no academy graduates who could do a job at left back?  Shaw/Malacia always injured and look so lopsided when Dalot/Lindelof play there.  Lindelof is poor in natural position and brings nothing going forward.  Reguilion was a disaster, Spurs couldn't wait to ship him on again. 

The signing of AWB for £45million was more poor business, given that the recruitment team should have been aware of his frailties going forward and knowing that United would be expected to dominate possession particularly at OT.

There was a young lad called Fernadez who played in pre season looked good.  but they loaned or sold him in August.

Yeah he should've been sent off for grabbing bruno. But in fairness who could blame him grabbing bruno  by the throat.

I read or heard that before they signed AWB they looked at something like 80 different RBs.

To be fair to AWB he was bought before this new era of Full Backs really took off. He was bought to be a more traditional defending type full back.

It not really his fault that the position has evolved in other teams into something that he just hasn't got the skill set for.

804 right backs! And AWB tops your list. Scouting team must be a bunch of bluffers
