Amad Diallo though, massively overrated. Looked like the worst winger on the pitch against Bournemouth. 

 

Mainoo has got potential, but is being overused to his detriment.

 

Onana is low-key genuinely a good player, but has way too many clangers in his locker.

 

I'm taking Dalot in this hypothetical. He's quality. 

 

 

 

Dalot loves a howler too.

All the money in the world spent and so little to show for it.

 

It's just so immensely satisfying.

 

There's a deep rot that has set in at the club that will take some sorting.

 

They keep looking for individuals to throw under the bus, but it's so much more than that.

It’s all down to club culture. They’ve not had an identity since Fergie. Glazers have been setting the tone for the rot with their ownership approach and now this scruff has come in getting rid of the workers who actually care about the club. The guy is more of the same parasites the Glazers have been. 

 

@Froggy you’re awesome, but it’s funny as fuck watching Man United eat itself. Even when you’re terrible, you still win trophies.  It’s always individuals either carrying them to a trophy (Casemiro against us) or being scapegoated (Rashford, Dan Ashworth).

 

I have zero empathy for anyone who associates themselves with that club.

Is this a joke? 

 

Fake Bruno is OK, but definitely doesn't fit as a LCM for us, so that's a no

 

Onana is crap, no need to expand on that

 

Mainoo would be in and around Miley and longstaff, and I'm not even sure he's much better than them, if at all. He's not even remotely close to either Joe

 

Diallo where has this hype come from?? He's mainly rubbish and had a decent moment now and again. Murphy as frustrating as he can be giving  the ball away, Daillo does the same and is less of a threat. Would rather take Garnacho. 

Bruno F is a brilliant player, still IMO, and Mainoo is clear of Longstaff and Miley but wouldn't be a guaranteed start over Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton. 

 

I think Onana would be a good keeper in an organised defence and could significantly improve our distribution from the back, so personally, I prefer him (or what he could be) over Pope.

This is all I noticed.

Don’t rate the Amorim hire. Think clubs like Man U should avoid heavily - formation based managers or ones with specialist styles.

Bruce it is then...

 

He doesn't believe in tactics.

Especially managers who favour very specific formations (3 at the back, basically) which require you to build what would otherwise be considered to be a heavily unbalanced squad.

Exactly.  It’s not like he has Conte’s track record either.

Hes a great manager 

 

The best manager in the world will fail if he's put in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Not saying much about their plight until 10pm on Monday.

I was looking at the Man United XI from today, comparing it against ours earlier, and I came up with the following:

 

Bruno Fernandes 

Andre Onana

Kobbie Mainoo

Amad Diallo.

 

The last two are very very debatable and on current form wouldn't have a hope in hell of getting in, but given they're both young and the potential of both players gets them ahead of Joelinton and Murphy, Onana as hilariously calamitous as he can be, is a good keeper and better than Pope, and Bruno Fernandes is their only World Class player.

Not a chance am I having Onana in our team 

[Joelinton7]

Is Froggy under an NDA?

Not even him. No thanks. Don’t want tiny CB’s in our big tall bastards who chase and fight for everything team. “The Butcher” is the biggest misnomer I’ve ever heard for him.

Emi, the Villa keeper

There’s far too many clips of Onana passing the ball directly to the opposition on the edge of the box and failing to save basic shots. Wolves scored directly from a corner today if anyone hasn’t seen it. Pope has his flaws but he unquestionably gains us many points a season.

he’s class kept the score down today and is comfortable enough with the ball at his feet to play outfield- I’d have him 

[Big Geordie]

Pressure is all on the Mancs on Monday. And of course, it depends on whether they decide to turn up or not.

Genuinely wouldn’t have any of them. Fernandes is a coward of a player. Only good when things are going good

Bruno F is a brilliant player when everything goes Man Utd way, as soon as they struggle a bit he goes sour and often drag his teammates down with him. He should never been captain on that team, they need someone who can pull them up when they are down, not pull them further down. 

[Hanshithispantz]

As much as Pope's kicking is catastrophic I'd never replace him with Onana. Unless you're playing Tika Taka I don't think the ball playing keepers are neccesary, I just want a commanding keeper who's quick off his line, can play a simple 5 yard pass, and has an accurate long ball.

[Pilko]

Never thought I could like a Man U manager more than Ten Bob but I tell you what, Ruben Alsoran is giving it a great go so far.
