Looks like Martinez is done. Hope he's not the next Rojo.

Stand-United

{Ed014's Note - result thought we were going to waste money on him!


1.) 15 Jul 2022 12:19:28
ED014,

You sound so bitter haha.

{Ed014's Note - not a chance mate, was worried we were going to buy him and sell Saliba but he’s taken the number 12 shirt and is with the squad in the US. ???

Never any interest in your man at all mate, said it from minute one, just be a waste of money we need to spend else where.

GDS will be chuffed though, has a bit of a man crush for him! ?


2.) 15 Jul 2022 12:23:59
Is he not very good, Ed? I've genuinely never seen him play.

{Ed014's Note - sorry mate, I’d never even heard of him before let alone seen him play.

ETH obvs likes him so he must rate him. It’ll be interesting to see how he gets on in the Prem.

My concern was that he was going to replace Saliba who for me is going to be quality.


3.) 15 Jul 2022 12:59:54
ED014 haha.

There's still time for Saliba to leave. I've never seen Martinez play, so I can't comment on him.

At least we know Saliba is your man crush haha.

{Ed014's Note - he 100% is mate ? and I’d not even heard of Martinez before so haven’t seen him play either.

I’m still dreading we make the mistake of letting him go but was a little happier that he’s now got a squad number, they gave his original number to Ben White?‍♂️

I think Saliba will be class and would like to see him next to Gabriel. I’m really hoping the links to Zinchenko are genuine too.??


4.) 15 Jul 2022 13:12:35
Ed014,

Zinchenko would be a very good signing.

{Ed014's Note - I’m doubting it’ll happen but agree mate.


5.) 15 Jul 2022 16:50:36
Saliba will be a very good player. Martinez height worries me but I've seen him keep some of the best attackers at bay. That's assuming he comes in as a CB. I think he'd be good as a DM.


6.) 15 Jul 2022 18:57:42
Martinez has great technique. He started as CDM but Ten Hag converted him into CB. He reads game very well, he's quick and agile and has super good long passes. The only concern is his height, he's 178cm.


7.) 16 Jul 2022 10:30:58
Do I? Not sure I’ve ever seen him play or mentioned I like him.


 

 

25 Aug 2021 17:40:59
From what Ed02 has posted on Chelsea and Liverpool pages.

Chelsea have made an offer for Saul and expecting to meet the requirements of Athletico, Barcelona and United interested, offer from Barcelona not acceptable, no order from United.

So looks like another world class talent off to Chelsea. And another season of McFred and Matic in the middle of the park. Fighting for 4th.

Stand-United

1.) 25 Aug 2021 19:58:51
Keep the faith stand! You never know what might happen we obviously need to sell a few maybe we will get a midfielder.


2.) 25 Aug 2021 20:02:58
We shouldn't need to sell for Saul, it's a loan + option for god's sake. We've got Scott, Fred and Matic for 2 positions, probably none good enough and Matic too old. Come on now, this is literally the most sensible possible deal.


3.) 25 Aug 2021 20:25:16
Neves is a better fit for us.

I rate Saul but he's a Pogba replacement.

Neves could be a good DM for us.


4.) 25 Aug 2021 20:46:40
Neves not done much to convince me last year or two.


5.) 25 Aug 2021 21:11:17
The reality is we need both - but right now we could get Saul off the bat, he may be a Pogba replacement but he's MUCH much better in the pivot. Saul is an excellent tackler and a good positional defender, with a great engine.


6.) 25 Aug 2021 21:34:54
Here come all the Saul experts after seeing five minute clips on you tube!
And also just for all the negative doom merchants saying 4th, 5th etc, we finished second last season and have made two huge signings to improve our 11, have some faith, put your toys back in the pram and support the team! Come on boys 🔴⚪️⚫️.


7.) 25 Aug 2021 22:04:51
We've been linked to him since 2012 man, I've been following the guy since then. Essentially a more polished, well rounded Mctominay, very versatile and a good engine. Of course I'll support the team, but its a goddamn shame that Fred and Scott will be worked to the death again as we've no other options.


8.) 26 Aug 2021 07:07:47
We need sell players or loan a few to reduce our wage bill to sign Saul.


9.) 26 Aug 2021 10:36:18
Don’t talk sense Chris, we drew a game so we are doomed, doomed I tell you. City are going to win the league easily though, they have won both games so far and we are already miles behind and chasing them. Oh wait.


10.) 26 Aug 2021 12:19:41
Gds 2m
You don’t have post some rubbish. Has anyone here said we’re doomed based on the first two games of the season? Your one of these fans that had accepted mediocrity unfortunately. Answer me one question, do you think Ole can win the league with this side? If the answer is no then you agree either the team or the manager needs improving on. I’m my opinion it’s both.


11.) 26 Aug 2021 13:37:10
Saul got dropped towards end of last year because he wasn’t playing well so why would we want him too just be mediocre with us?

Do I think we can challenge with this team yes. We improved right wing and we have improved centre back. Are the centre mid options needing improved possibly but let’s not become spoilt we have two world class players added this year and I’d be okay with going into the season with the team as it is.


12.) 26 Aug 2021 13:42:46
GDS 2 how many points were City behind us when we were top last season? Oh wait.


13.) 26 Aug 2021 13:58:58
Stand,

I’ve seen loads of posts on here saying we have no chance this season after we drew on Sunday mate.

Yes, I think we can challenge for the title this season.


14.) 26 Aug 2021 15:15:46
Gds show me a comment anyone made that we “can’t win the league because we drew on sunday “

Anyone with a view like mine these we can’t win the league is based on the team, the coaching and the manager. 8 years without one if the big trophies.

Do you think Ole is anywhere near as good a manager as klopp, pep or touchel? If not why was he appointed?

Gaza’s, your calling Sancho Workd Class? Really? Potentially one day yeh but now? No chance, he’s not even prem proven and can’t get a game for England.


15.) 26 Aug 2021 16:42:55
Yes I think he’s anywhere near as good as them.

People were quite positive after the first game pal, loads of posts saying they enjoyed it, we did well and have the squad to challenge, we drew on Sunday and this week it’s negative Nancy’s all over the page, so can see where I’ve got that from.


16.) 26 Aug 2021 19:33:49
Stand,

Sancho is world class based on numbers he’s produced in one of the top European leagues and champions league. He’s up there with world class players so that would mean he’s world class. He didn’t play for England because our manager is too defensive to try and play our attacking players.


 

 

20 Jan 2018 22:55:45
Ryan Sessegnon seems to get better and better. Massive talent at his age. With us badly needing a decent LB, just wondered ED002 If United are keeping tabs on him? Have we any interest at all? Thanks.

Stand-United

{Ed002's Note - No.}


1.) 21 Jan 2018 00:53:06
Shame. Think he’ll go right to the top of the game.

{Ed007's Note - And wishing he was Kieran Tierney....


2.) 21 Jan 2018 07:18:06
We have a decent left back, his name is Luke Shaw.


3.) 21 Jan 2018 08:45:12
And oh how reliable he’s proven to be over the last 3/ 4 years. He needs proper competition, it’s a weak area in our side.


4.) 21 Jan 2018 10:24:37
If We keep the Shaw we have seen the way 4/ 5 matches we have a player on our hands. Remains to be seen. Don’t see what’s wrong with keeping Darmian to fill in on both sides as and when (unless he wants to leave to play regular football) . Don’t forget Young has been excellent too this season. If TFM comes back next season he can provide good cover at right back.

Midfield is where we need some serious re-inforcements now we have Sanchez coming.


5.) 21 Jan 2018 11:43:27
Eric,

Because it’s all about shiny new signings mate, forget the dead wood we already have, they are all useless.


6.) 21 Jan 2018 13:09:04
Keeping Darmian means blocking the chance of any comptetent right sided full back. That is to say stopping us getting a full back that can defend, attack at pace, can put in a good cross and who might chip in with the odd goal.


7.) 21 Jan 2018 13:05:13
I haven't seen enough of Ryan, but from what I've heard he will soon be at a top club in the PL. On the other hand I've watched Tierney on a couple of occasions and I think we should go for him. Young could be cover for Valencia and Shaw and Tierney can battle for the LB.


8.) 21 Jan 2018 13:22:40
Ryan looks a very good player could and might play a bit further forward in the future.


9.) 21 Jan 2018 14:01:53
Let's remember also that if rojo is good enough to play left back for Argentina in a world cup final then he ie certainly good enough to play left back for us.


10.) 21 Jan 2018 14:41:59
No he'S not.


11.) 21 Jan 2018 14:43:37
Argentina’s left options must be dire then because Rojo is shocking at left back not having a dig at him because I think he’s a very good centre back but left he is terrible.


12.) 21 Jan 2018 15:42:26
I dnt think he'll be a left back for much longer in his career! He's basically a LWB right now at Fulham. Wouldn't surprise me if he ends being a LW in his prime years!


13.) 21 Jan 2018 16:11:43
Worth
I agree, may move forward like bale did.


14.) 21 Jan 2018 22:43:12
Competent right beck BFB? Darmian plays for Italy. The mastersof defending.


15.) 24 Jan 2018 17:35:08
Worst italy team for 80 years.


 

 

15 Jan 2018 16:00:57
Ed002, sorry to bother, just wondered if there was any update with regards to Sanchez. With Wengers saying it could be done in 24/ 48 hours is there any progress ether way? Where do you see his most likely destination? Thanks in advance.

Stand-United

{Ed002's Note - I cannot answer "most likely" questions sensibly. Wenger ill likely be right that it will be completed soon - perhaps in the next couple of days but there is no agreement just yet.}


1.) 15 Jan 2018 16:05:19
Twitchy bum time, we'll just have to wait and see.


2.) 15 Jan 2018 16:09:48
No probs ed, cheers.


3.) 15 Jan 2018 16:15:06
Notice that it says will be completed but not where he will complete to. I still struggle to believe he will be a Utd player with it seeming so nailed on for city for so long.


 

 

08 Aug 2017 20:46:54
Will that be the end of the Bale rumours?

Stand-United

1.) 08 Aug 2017 22:31:19
Does that actually change anything if they only wanted to sell him if they get Mbappe?
Would he have been playing if Ronaldo was fit?


2.) 09 Aug 2017 05:55:54
Hopefully.


3.) 09 Aug 2017 07:00:11
Would Isco not be available if Mbappe comes in AND Bale stays?


4.) 09 Aug 2017 07:25:48
Allen. Did u watch bale last night? You don't think he would be a big upgrade on anyone in our team then? He would be our best player and give us a whole new dimension.


5.) 09 Aug 2017 09:04:35
But if he doesn't want to come then its pointless chasing after him.


6.) 09 Aug 2017 10:07:53
Mort, exactly, hence the OP.


7.) 09 Aug 2017 10:30:01
dont clubs usually ask the agent if his player would be willing to join and I'd imagine if we got told he (bale) has no desire to join us then we just wouldn't pursue him so if we are interested like the eds have said we are then we must have been encouraged to carry on pursuing.

I've no idea if this makes any sense my heads a shed from just writing it 😀.


8.) 09 Aug 2017 11:03:37
I think i know what you mean dave :-)


9.) 09 Aug 2017 11:10:57
And bales agent has always said that his client is going nowhere. Wd bale improve our team. probably. but not at a cost of 90m.
Despite being 32 cr7 is valued 40m more than when we sold him in his prime. Bale despite being only 28 is valued the same as he was 4 years ago, this in an era when transfer fees are rocketing. Why has bales value not risen? 3 reasons imo. injury record, the loss of that extreme pace that made him so devastating previously and the fact that RM would happily cash in on him if he could be persuaded to leave so that they could buy mbappe.
Good player yes but not worth 90m or so with his injury record.
Would prefer isco all day long as I suspect RM will when la liga kicks off.


10.) 09 Aug 2017 11:56:55
I watched the game and he did very little can see why he might be available. He is no where as influential in that Madrid team as the other guys (modric, isco, kroos, Ronaldo, benzema) and for me influences the game very little. For 90 million I would rather spend it on 2 other players.

He does no defending and good in a counter attack sense where he has a lot of room to run into. Put Martial or Rashford into that real team and they would thrive as well if given the chance to run one on one at defenders.

I would not be surprised if Real come calling in a year or two for our guys.


11.) 09 Aug 2017 13:29:17
Watching us last night I wish we had signed Bernardo silva He can keep the ball, we are miles away, Lukaku did nothing to impress me or change my mind about him, didn't look mobile, or have a great touch.


12.) 09 Aug 2017 15:46:53
Still think we need a CM who can control the game Herrera for me isn't good enough he's a jack of all trades master of none. With matic at DM I would prefer a more technical player than Herrera I like him but to get to the next level we need a modric or silva type player who can unlock deep defences and keep Possesion in tight areas.


13.) 10 Aug 2017 09:26:00
Lukaku is all brain, he's reading of the game is just on another level :D.

Make no mistake, this was United ONE chance of recovery. Sheikh Jassim was prepared to pay in excess of £6bn to acquire the club, pay off the debt, leave the club completely debt free enabling the income generated to go back into the team rather than to service debt and loans, with a further £1.5bn investment.

There was a plan, a stadium refurb, a training ground overhaul, facilities and infrastructure overhaul. Instead we're left with these vile cretins, leaching every last drop of life from the club. As long as they remain United fall further and further away. I'd put my money on us surpassing the 30 odd years Liverpool took to win the league again.

The club is well and truly fu*€ed.

Stand-United

1.) 14 Oct 2023 19:58:46
He was not prepared to bay 6 bill by the reports. his bid was around 5.2.


2.) 14 Oct 2023 20:19:12
A lot of doom and gloom around at the news, which I don’t think has been confirmed by anyone in the process as yet, but it looks like it will come. And understandable doom and gloom of course.

If people are so upset though, the only way to change anything is to stop watching, buying, attending etc.

It looks like at least a couple of the Glazers are happy to carry on as it is with the club servicing the debt that they saddled it with, and any income from a minority sale will go directly to the family members who no longer want to be included. Sad but true.

We will have to see what any deal is, if one is even agreed with SJR at all. Who knows what happens next.


3.) 14 Oct 2023 20:23:24
It's easy to make promises, but we will never know now if Al Thani would have made good on those promises. Maybe he would, maybe it was just pie in the sky.

Need to move on now. My feeling is that Joel and Avram don't really want to sell, but the other four have had enough. That makes it very hard to buy the club when not all of the owners want to sell.

I'd imagine SJR's bid will be about buying the other four siblings out, but with some kind of clause that will allow him to buy Joel and Avram out at some point.


4.) 15 Oct 2023 10:27:11
That all sounds amazing Stand. Do you know if they were they planning on bringing indentured workers from Qatar to do it or were they going to hire local workers?

05 Aug 2023 22:05:11
Ed001

I'm just curious your take on our prospect Garnacho, if you don't mind? I know you like to profile players so thought you may have an opinion? I personally think he's going to be top class. At such a young age he's often out most dangerous player and can turn a game. Thought he looked sharp again today.

Also think Anthony will have a good season this year too. Another young player hopefully settled in now.

Stand-United

{Ed001's Note - I have to be honest, I haven't really seen a lot of him. He has impressed when I have watched him, looks to have genuine top level talent, but I would want to look at a lot more footage of him before I drew any conclusions.}


1.) 06 Aug 2023 02:46:24
He looks the business to me. Has a good blend of selfish/ confident as well as head up and make the pass. He is a livewire who makes things happen when he comes on. Hopefully he ups his level again this year and starts to cement a starting spot. I'm sure EtH will want to keep his feet on the ground.


2.) 06 Aug 2023 08:02:32
Watching him yesterday with his blond highlights and the pace he was running at the defenders, it looked like old clips of Ronaldo when he first came. Now I am not saying he is going to be as good/ better than Ronaldo before anyone jumps on that.


3.) 06 Aug 2023 11:20:25
The vibe I get is a mix of Giggs and Heinze.
The way he collects the ball so effortlessly, scampers at the defenders and properly has them on their toes, charges through the lines, happy to put his foot in, happy to get physical with anyone in his way and has an aggressive passion for the game.

He will become an absolute savage of a player, he might even dislodge Rashford this season.

The only word that really does him justice is class.


4.) 06 Aug 2023 11:47:24
He is much better than ronaldo at comparative ages imo.


5.) 06 Aug 2023 12:59:29
He's an exciting player, the kids gets you off your seat every time he receives the ball. Yet he's still raw, his decision making needs to improve, he runs down too many blind alleys and holds on to the ball too long at times. In the game yesterday there were about 5 occasions where he entered the penalty area and if he just made the simple pass early then it would have almost certainly been a goal, but he held on to the ball which allowed the defence to get back in shape and the chance was gone (or at least much harder to carve out) .

That comes with time and experience. The fact that he gets into those situation 4-5 times a game highlights what a special talent he is.


6.) 06 Aug 2023 15:06:59
One thing I thought yesterday was how unselfish he was, which at such a young age is quite rare. Often kids his age would go for glory themselves and make the wrong decisions often, yesterday he got his head up on a few occasions to square for Mount and the pass into Anthony rather than take a shot on himself. Was good to see, I think he’s going to be top class over the next ten years. Hopefully here and not somewhere else.


7.) 06 Aug 2023 15:14:42
I think the lad is special, very special, i hope he is grounded and deiven because he could go to the very rop. Most exciting kid we have had for a long time.


8.) 06 Aug 2023 17:36:56
Personally I think Mainoo is the better prospect.


9.) 06 Aug 2023 18:33:48
I agree, Fireman. But it's not as sexy a position, to be fair. Someone above commented they like the fact that he's unselfish. Maybe some of that could rub off on Marcus. I love the guy, but I think we'd have scored a fair few more last season if he hadn't kept trying to shoot on sight.


10.) 06 Aug 2023 20:46:57
I hope Mainoo is the better prosoect because that meams we have two very good players just coming into the squad who can help get us back to where we want to be.


11.) 06 Aug 2023 22:23:25
Garnacho reminds me of Chiesa in his running and dribbling (before his injury) . Very direct whenever he's in the oppositions half, always seems like something is going to happen when he gets the ball.


 

 

23 Feb 2023 23:38:39
Ten Hag, what a man.

Stand-United

Special special special he is.


2.) 23 Feb 2023 23:53:14
The man's a genius.


3.) 24 Feb 2023 12:48:20
Add to that, apparently lisandro stayed for about 2 hours after the game in the rain with the fans. Quickly turning into my favourite player if he wasn't already, edgy, aggressive and great on the ball. Slowly building a team full of characters.


 

 

25 Jan 2023 23:56:25
Ed001, if you around, I'm curious on your opinion of 1) Martinez and 2) the job Ten Hag is doing at United.

Don't know about everyone else but Martinez has already made himself one of my favourite players, absolutely love his aggression and desire to win at all costs. To think he got slaughtered by the pundits after two games for us, he's gone on to show he's a top class CB in my opinion. Not just his defending either, he's so good on the ball, his forward passing etc is exceptional. Him and Casimero have transformed this team.

ETH is so far doing an top job, from where we were this time last year, or even just in 6 months from the end of last season, you now see genuine style of play and proper tactics being used. His subs are often effective and the right choice. His team selection is more often than not correct. He's shipped out Ronny and shown who's boss, his players he's purchased have mostly been a success, everything just seems so much better in such little time. Of course there a long way to go to reach City etc, but in finally convinced we've got the right man after ten years of trying.

Stand-United

{Ed001's Note - 1. He is proving himself to be an excellent player with aggression, but you need that in a defender. Yes he might well end up missing the odd game because of it, but it is worth it for the benefits it brings when he is playing. You can see he started out in midfield with his ability on the ball, but unlike most ex-midfielders dropping into defence, he understands basic defending.

The stuff about his height made me cringe, it happens so often and I never understand why it matters. I think people forget that it is possible to jump and that there is more to defending than simply being a big lump who can head a ball. They used to say it about the Liverpool defence when Bob Paisley was first-made manager and they managed alright without the height in an era when most of English football was long, high balls. So why these moron pundits still think it is relevant now, when almost no one bombards the box with high balls, I will never understand.

2. Ten Hag is doing an ever better job than Martinez I would say. He is being helped (like Arsenal) by City and Liverpool have a down year, but (again like Arsenal) you still have to be good enough to take advantage and he has been. I would say he is probably, right now, a season ahead of schedule. But the real test will come next season when he will have to spread that recruitment net a little wider than just players that are either Dutch or have played in the Netherlands.

What he has already shown is that he is far more than just a disciplinarian. He has displayed genuine man-management skills and an ability to coach improvement into players. That is going to be what makes the difference in the long-term. I am very impressed I have to say. I knew he would be a step forward, but he is a huge leap forward with a jet-pack from Ole, not just a step!}


1.) 26 Jan 2023 08:20:07
Cheers Ed, agreed. We’re still a way off, but he gap has been closed far more in 6 months than I imagined possible. Genuinly enjoy watching us again which I can’t honestly say I have for the last 5-10 years, especially the Ole era which imo was our worst managerial appointment of them all.

{Ed001's Note - that is the key thing, you are entertaining to watch.}


2.) 26 Jan 2023 09:38:21
Welcome back stand?
I think anybody that understands football one ole was all wrong anybody that supported him were thinking with emotion.
Ole did not understand the club nor his role within it.


3.) 26 Jan 2023 11:05:00
On last night's game even though Martinez won man of the match i thought Casemiro was outstanding AGAIN.
He reads the game so well and is so calm on the ball, very rarely gives it away. An all round top player who has everything in his locker.
The influence he has on the team is massive.
Brilliant signing.

Ten Hag is a football manager. Ole was a magicians assistant only used to distract you while the magician had his hands in your pockets and it worked.

In his first season it looks like we're in a final and the instead of looking over our shoulder, we're looking forward.

The Glazers have the for sale sign in the garden.

These are better days.

What are your thoughts on Eriksen, Ed? I am personally not a big fan, but he seems to get a lot of love from the fans.

He can pick a pass, but seems a liability defensively. Last few games in particular, he has let players run off him and shirked challenges. A bit like Pogba, but without the build.

{Ed001's Note - I have never been a fan of his to be honest. He has always been a bit on the lazy side. I think he is massively overrated but the story of him coming back after collapsing makes it very difficult to be critical of him. People are desperate to see him do well and will make allowances for him. Personally to me I think it shows how weak the options are at United in midfield that he is a regular. He simply is not good enough to deserve to be so imo.}

Sepp - the problem is that he never has been a defensive midfielder and ETH has him playing like one.
If you watch him at Ajax, Spurs and Inter he always played further up the pitch as a creative midfielder.
Considering the circumstances i think he's done really well.
Yes he looses possession sometimes get's caught out of position but that's because he takes chances and plays a lot of forward passes.
I still think we need to add 1 maybe 2 top class midfielders.
Erkisen and Casemiro are both 30 and are not getting any younger.

He's a good player Ed001, but that's about it.

You're right, highlights our limitations.

Ideally, he'd be a decent back up for Bruno or another CM. I'll give it to him, he is putting in a shift when he plays but he's playing with a pacemaker ? miraculous to be honest.

{Ed001's Note - it is a miracle and a lovely story.}

Eriksen playing most games and running out of steam every game on 70mins just proves how crap our midfield was before. Casemiro and Eriksen a big upgrade. But 30/ 31. We need 2 top class midfielders in the summer if we are serious about overtaking City etc.

That’s a shame. I’ve said it for years, he gets away with murder because he’s from Wythenshawe, and he fed kids for a little while.

He’s been in the first team squad for probably 7/ 8 years now and still sulks, still walks round with zero effort, can’t be arsed to track back, still makes wrong choices more often than not. Apart from 3 good months last season when he needed a new bumper contract he’s been useless. Vastly overrated and I’d be happy to see him sold. I’d said it time and time again.

Wazza, i agree, I thought he was ok when he left. But that’s not the point. The fact he’s been given a one year deal at his age now, it’s utterly ridiculous. It’s like dads army at the back with him and slab head. Recruitment at United over the last 10 years must go down as the worst of any big club of all time. Case in point sancho, he’s not good enough and never was. We go give him 375k a bloody week, unreal. No wonder we can never offload the crap at our club, no one else will want to give him half of that.

Christ, People actually think it was a good move getting Jonny evans back. We got rid of him 8 or 9 years ago because he wasn’t good enough. Just got relegated, pushing the wrong end of his 30’s and we give him a contract. It’s absolutely pathetic. It just highlights the shambles this club has become. A complete circus. Maybe Liverpool will give carragher a contract too. It’s a complete joke, and it’s no coincidence we conceded two within ten mins of then two clowns at Cb.

Ivan Toney is the one I’d be going for, despite the ban. Decent player.

Wiggy, have you ever seen Bruno have an effective game from the right? Every single time he plays on the right the game passes him by.

Will be a very good signing and with the new midfield 3, along with Nunez, salah, gapko and Diaz up top, they will be right in the mix again this year. I have them second.
They’ll still all say they never spend money though.

One thing I thought yesterday was how unselfish he was, which at such a young age is quite rare. Often kids his age would go for glory themselves and make the wrong decisions often, yesterday he got his head up on a few occasions to square for Mount and the pass into Anthony rather than take a shot on himself. Was good to see, I think he’s going to be top class over the next ten years. Hopefully here and not somewhere else.

Ahmad, if there’s no chance I’d happily take you in on that, name your odds and stake and I’m game.

I’m sorry MUMBLES, but to class that today as a GK error is just ludicrous. It was Dalot at fault for giving away possession so cheaply. Onana was where Ten Hag wants him to be.
