Quote from: tiempo on January 17, 2026, 03:33:14 PMAssist for the first goal and thing of beauty

Red Nev talking pure rot in the week was adamant even if Carrick won 13 of 17 he cant be kept on, interesting to see how that view evolves

If Keane was looking after the team it would have been 6

On a scale of 1-7 thats hot 🥵

Quote from: Armagh18 on January 17, 2026, 02:38:00 PMWould like to see the Mount goal offside again, must have been very tight

I was reading on Sky earlier that apparently he was offside on the pass to Cunha. How VAR interpreted that as interfering is beyond me particularly as any decision on interference is supposed to go to the on field referee. Strange Sky didn't show it again.

Quote2nd best in the Premier League this season comfortably beaten

Last season was a low quality Premier League this season no better when that soulless City outfit are the 2nd best.

Didn't see that much of the second half apart from the goals but United looked utterly transformed.

So low quality that the English league has the biggest lead it's ever had over all other leagues using UEFA's results based rankings? 

Last season the 16th and 17th placed teams contested the Europa league final.

For me it's actually a very high quality league.

Even with the best Fergie teams there were some serious breakaway goals with Ronaldo.
It's a solid way to play to get back up the table.

They do have players who can play that game too. Even Maguire and Martinez can hit decent long balls out.

them mysterons are always killing me but im grand after a few days.sickenin aul dose all the same.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it, but you won't be able to play like that against the weaker teams, which has been Uniteds downfall.

Which it has been since Van Gaal's days, if I remember he got results against bigger sides a fair bit.

The Fulham game and the games in Feb will tell us more about where they are really. Great performance and result on Saturday though.

I think it was the intensity in the play at the weekend which was different level. There was serious intent with everything they, if they can do that with the so called weaker teams then the quality should shine through.

It will be interesting.

The problem is we have had these dawns before.

Also weaker teams won't attack them and United can't hit them on the break. Carrick needs a second style for those games. Previous managers didn't

Amorim truly was the Pep Guardiola of Wilfred Nancy's

Did I not tell you there was plenty of quality in the ranks to punch

16 senior internationals, plus a host of gifted prospects into 11 positions, its not rocket science

Carrick knows exactly what to do this weekend, stay compact and play on the break, has worked many times for Utd at the Emirates even with their classic teams
