Ronaldo

Way over the top. He’s a very very good goalscorer, or was 2 seasons ago.

If you look at Gordon’s best games for us the vast vast majority have come at home when we’ve had good possession and, especially, a lot of the ball in the final third. Also, despite his pace and directness he’s never looked as effective as you might imagine on the counter attack. In a nutshell, the type of games we’ve played so far this season are the ones he’s historically never shone in.

Except he can score.

No. We’re past the point where we can afford to carry a Sean Longstaff. He’s so far off the wavelength of the better players around him at times it’s embarrassing. 8s and 9s I meant the players who’ll likely be off in the summer if we don’t finish top 4/5. I do get that there’s duality here whereby it’s acceptable to defend Longstaff as a decent / average trier while being supremely grateful we have very few of those in the team. Personally just think it’s bullshit. We need to be better than players like that.

Whatevs. One of our own etc

And I know you’ll play that card all day but ‘average’ effectively is a 2 out of 10 for where we need to be in order to finish high enough to keep our 8 and 9s.

I can’t believe there’s legit debate about him, mind. He’s a grafter, with an occasional goal in him because of the positions he takes up although that’s a double edged sword to some extent because he’s hardly a top pick for being on the end of chances. He needs a touch more than we can afford with our aspirations, his passing is mediocre at best and he doesn’t have athleticism to get in the game like Joelinton does. He’s nothing more than a backup player for where we need to be now.

Twats celebrated the Wolves goal. My best mate picked it because it’s close to where he lives, never again.

A family pub in Manchester. The Moorings in Boothstown if you want to make a complaint.

I had to watch the last 18 minutes including injury time through the pub window. Asked to leave for celebrating the goals like a madman. What a brilliant win. No more keeping Tonali and Barnes on the bench.

Has an intangible quality. He’s just class and has been the best player we’ve had since Eddie took over.

Are you brave enough to say the team selection is wrong?

When aren’t they? When have we controlled games in midfield? I can’t think of one game in recent memory.

Carbon copy of the Bournemouth game. Isak feeding off scraps, no control of the midfield. Give it a Gordon with 2 men on him. Team selection wrong again. It’s dire this.

Murphy starting.

I think you’ll struggle to find one Man U fan who thinks RvN had an inferior all round game mind.

Because it hasn’t worked for 3 seasons and counting perhaps?

Yeah it’s just daft now. Something said in the Southampton game earlier about them being easy to cheer for in their bid to stay up because they’re going to try to do it using entertaining football. A) They’ve scored 1 goal in 4 games. B) If they’re at any point prioritising entertaining football when they will literally need every point they can get, they deserve to go down anyway.

He never was his replacement. I don’t want us to replace Schar though, to be fair. Strong backup for both him and Botman and a RW were the must haves.

You say that like it’s a good thing. Biggest hellhole going.

100%.

Really not sold on Guehi at all. I’ve never looked at him and thought top CB and he’s been partially at fault for a few this season.

Based on what I’ve seen this season and a few games last season they’re one of the worst to play in the PL. Where it matters they’re of pure Championship quality.

Good enough for Barrack Obama to use, mind.
