Should be loving Liverpool getting done but already thinking fck that might be 3 points for Fulham that we weren’t expecting Mitrovic was in insane form last year, not surprising he would continue it. Rickie for instance scored 18? Goals less in our promotion season and got 15 in the prem. I know Mitrovic disappointed in the prem last time around but I suspect that was more due to Fulham’s shortcomings than his own, he is a damn good player.
FarehamSaintJames Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 Mané will be a bigger loss to Liverpool than they probably realise at this time. Still got them to win the league, weirdly.
Killers Knee Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 Fulham’s Mitrovic has a touch of Rickie Lambert about him, class act
AlexLaw76 Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 Liverpool look very ordinary. BT of course wanking over Nunez 1
AlexLaw76 Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 Oh god. He is going to be billed as the greatest striker ever now....isnt ht

AlexLaw76 Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 The great Van Djik has given away a penalty. Surely this cannot be right? 1
Baird of the land Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 See Smallbone is now in the team for Stoke & they are winning currently.
S-Clarke Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 Just now, whelk said: That Everton line up looks shite It does, but it's quite depressing that I'd still take McNeil, Doucore, Gordon, Tarkowski and Mina over what we've got. (and DCL when fit) 1

The Cat Posted 6 August, 2022 Posted 6 August, 2022 14 minutes ago, AlexLaw76 said: I remember being sat with a mate who supports Middlesbrough watching them play Rotherham a few seasons ago and Rotherham tried that corner about 5 times with pretty much the same result as that Forest one every time. Very bizarre.

AlexLaw76 Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 United 0-1 Brighton After the first 5 mins, Brighton have been in control, fairly easily. McTominnay still shite
SNSUN Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 (edited) Blimey United look shyte. Even we might have a chance against them if they play like this! Gross goal. (EDIT: Scored by Gross, it wasn't disgusting. 😋) Edited 7 August, 2022 by SNSUN
OttawaSaint Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 That's what we should be. Potter has got them well drilled, organized and full of confidence. Our clown has allowed us to do the exact opposite. 3
AlexLaw76 Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 (edited) 0-2 LOL United are awful. When you think back to the 1990s and 2000s, watching a team like Man United spaz around with Fred and McTomminay in CM....it is quite remarkable Edited 7 August, 2022 by AlexLaw76
SNSUN Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 Blimey United are awful. I can see a busy last 3 weeks of the transfer window for them.
adrian lord Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 Well I suppose we can take some small consolation for yesterday via vicarious pleasure - schadenfreude - in United still being diabolical.
Lighthouse Posted 7 August, 2022 Author Posted 7 August, 2022 Christ, has nobody said it yet; one more Brighton goal and we’re off the bottom of the table! 2 2

Dorchester Saint Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 I bet Graham Potter could get us playing well, I’d love to see us replace Ralph with him. 2
SNSUN Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 I'm actually hoping for a United equaliser here. Crap though they've been we could do with the likes of Brighton dropping points. 1

Organised hard working team with two decent centre halves who know how to do the basics well. Amazing how simple it is really. 1
AlexLaw76 Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 I see Brighton's CBs do not take attacking throw-ins 1
Turkish Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 Haland is going to score a bucketload against us isn't he.

S-Clarke Posted 7 August, 2022 Posted 7 August, 2022 I wonder how long Utd will give Ten Haag? It would be ridiculous to even call him out though, given that many managers get the same tune from the same players - i.e nothing. Not sure what they expect to be different when they're STILL lining up with McTominay, Fred, Maguire, Dalot etc. It's just groundhog day. And every summer they seem to create some sort of transfer saga, by tracking a player who doesn't want to join them or they aren't willing to pay the fee for. It's funny to watch though. All the talk of this being the big Utd rebuild and they're still starting with Fred and McTominay.

Not really. That would only be an issue if they were skint. They've spent unbelievable amounts on wages and fees, more than enough to win the league and the Champions League.

They've spent more money than almost any club in the world, but everything about that club is just wrong from the scouting to the players. Their main striker target now, after Sesko said no, is 34 year old Marco Arnautovic. Baffling way that club is being run on the scouting side. 1

Even Fergie struggled before he left to get the players he wanted because of the debt and they have never recovered since . Granted they have got the cash flowing in more recently but they don’t seem to get their targets in anymore. Not many players used to turn Utd down did they ? Shearer but he wanted to go to Newcastle regardless.

They don't get their targets so frequently as they have been overtaken by City and Chelsea, with Liverpool more recently. But they have limitless money Edited 7 August, 2022 by AlexLaw76

All the talk of this being the big Utd rebuild and they're still starting with Fred and McTominay. They need to back him and give him a better squad. Their recruitment has been dreadful over the last 5 years or so, no strategy or direction, just signing players. They've spent 100s of millions on absolute crap or egos like Pogba. They need a complete rebuild from the bottom up bidding for Arnatovic is a joke. Ten Haag is a good manager but i fear he might go the way of all the others.
