mrmojorisin75 Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 4 minutes ago, Ben said: I thought Man U played with the shackles on last night, its how I think England will play this summer, no commitment to attack and with a midfield that sits to deep relying on great players performing on the day. Tbf both manyoo and inglund have shite midfields Attacking players in abundance but not the players behind them to make it work. If Southgate had any bollocks he'd go full Pep and just try to kill teams with possession playing Grealish and the lot of them, leave Rice to try and defend with a back 4.

Fantail Breeze Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 The keepers were both horrific in the shootout mind. De Gea didn’t look like he’d save a penalty even if they were still going now. There were three or four that should’ve been comfortably saved. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe, maybe. I think you'd have to see how the system worked and decide but I'd be tempted to let it play out myself, that front 6 could beat anyone on the planet on their day, why should we make the assumption that their day won't be the day we need it? It's why we're perennial bottle-jobs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prophet Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 A couple of years back, we had very few players who were decent on the ball, but Rice and Phillips have come on a lot as DMs this year. You could play Mount beside one or the other and if you wanted to be more offensive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man United could do far better, but he's not been the disaster I thought he would be. Tempted to agree, I'm not convinced he's got what it takes to progress them where they want to go but until they get a competent and competitive central midfield and help for Maguire it's hard to judge. Rest of the squad is decent but that's two big areas where they're short. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearergol Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 I think we can use our own useless cretin as an example that given the right resources the manager doesn't have to be a world beater for the team to simply exist.

et tu brute Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 (edited) At one time I didn’t mind too much any English team winning the European trophies. Now though I get great satisfaction in seeing them (the super league 6) all lose and when there is two of these teams in the final it comes down to which one I dislike the most. Is it jealousy, bitterness or the fact that the league, media and tv channels kiss their arses and actively make it that no other club exists. Fuck them and a belated well done to Villarreal last night. Edited May 27, 2021 by et tu brute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
