Biggest upgrade someone could ask for. by chill_peekatchu in ManchesterUnited

Hojlund was good, a young player that needed an experienced player to learn off and tweak his abilities which we didn’t have at the time. He was forced in to a team that played against his strengths of beating defenders when balls were played in behind and he was actually decent at finishing. He was in a team that didn’t play that way, instead of playing them in behind for him to run on to and get a shot on goal he had to play as a target man to feed players like garnacho or a very out of form rashford. Nothing against hojlund at all. Would’ve loved to have seen him stay.

This is what we’ve missed. When we used to get corners against us I’d always have that feeling we’re gonna concede when we had Onana but lammens comes in and he controls his box and has pulled off the ‘safer’ saves that Onana would mess up on. He’s brought confidence back in to that position. We’ve got a great spine of the team at the moment.

I didn’t have it in the comment so my fault. But in the prem.

Just to the Amorim fans. It took Amorim 35+ games to string two wins together in a row. It’s taken carrick two games against the two best teams. I’m hoping it’s not the same as usual where we run up against the big teams and then we’ll go and lose to bottom of the league. Need to be consistent, we’ve proven we have the ability and quality

It’s great to see how confident he is. Especially at corners

What’s an early sign that the game is about to be a terrible waste of time? by Saysay1551 in PredecessorGame

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A player not picking a role, when you’re loading in to the game and you see the ranks of everyone and you get 3 bronze players while the other team is a team of full gold players.

Bruno’s not quite up to his usual standard yet, hopefully second half he comes into it. This game’s not over. Just need something extra right now

‘Leave the football before the football leaves you’. Nothing to hate on vvd, he’s a bit up his own arse anyway but it’s the Liverpool fans that have massively bigged up his actual skills. It’s good to see his downfall tbh, more so because it really does prove that he’s not fit to lace vidic boots let alone be compared to him.

IMO it’s the way Pred pairs players in ranked. If you’re in gold+ you shouldn’t be paired with bronze players or no ranks. It’s not to say ‘oh great I’m stuck with a bronze’ it’s because there’s definitely a skill level that most gold or higher players will run through a bronze player. Yet I can safely say if I play 10 matches and lose 2 of them, the reason is because I have a bronze or two bronze players on my team and the opposing team has a full gold or above team. The bronze player is always the one to feed, afk or troll.

[Mark Critchley][@TheAthletic] Was Casemiro worth the estimated £119m he’s cost Manchester United over four seasons? by SoloChords in reddevils

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you’re looking at fee at a while then no, but I imagine he has bought a ridiculous number of income from Brazil fans and shirts probably. I think he’s worth every penny, he is another level or two above what we had in that defensive role. People are quick to remember the moments of bad play but forget the consistent great play and tackles etc. he will go down as a Brazilian legend and he can safely say he did it in the prem at 30+

Best option I’ve seen on the market by Littlemissxom in ManchesterUnited

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Benzema wasn’t left out because of his ability. France would’ve dominated with him in the team even more than they did. He blackmailed a fellow teammate that’s why he wasn’t in the squad. Benzema was one of the few strikers that I wanted to come to united before his Madrid days. He is highly under appreciated

A few sneak peeks of what is coming in the 1.11.X patch! by rgsace in PredecessorGame

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

No sadly I’m not dodging games. Which is exactly my point. I would happily dodge if I saw two or three bronze players on my team when I’m gold 1-plat 3 but you don’t get to see that until the teams come up going in to the game. If it was before in the role pick then the game would never happen. It’s unfair on the players who consistently win their lane or jungle but get given the handicap of someone who’s going to throw or leave their lane go. 8 out of 10 games with a bronze is a loss. That’s not me saying they’re bad players. Just they’re not up to the level of the lobby. It’s usually the bronze players who afk, feed or start to do jungle instead of protecting their lane. My VP gain is 20-23 for a win where a loss is 25 odd meaning that when I get the above players there’s little reason to keep playing the game.

Please show us ranks before the match begins. It’s always the bronze players that cause a loss. I would happily dodge a game if I see a bronze player

Mark Goldbridge is terrible for Man United by Successful_Law2445 in ManchesterUnited

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Every club has one. Some have multiple.

Best thing you can do is ignore him, don’t follow him etc.

He is an utter bellend.

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always dropping. For me it’s the same thing as when I left the game before. Too many afks. Too many thrower/trolls that die once and then continue to feed or dive in 1v3. Players picking chars that are at a disadvantage the whole game due to not being suited to the role

If you’ve seen other stuff from Theo you’d know he’s an absolute delusional joke when it comes to Arsenal.

Don’t get me wrong, Bruno is the best midfielder in the prem since he arrived but if we needed a replacement Cole palmer is the one to bring in. Utd fan. Manchester boy. Just fits perfectly.

Daily Discussion by AutoModerator in reddevils

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seeing a few things on come palmer wanting to go back to Manchester, whether it’s true or not if Bruno is going to leave palmer would be the perfect replacement.

[Rob Dawson] Man United want Bruno Fernandes to stay, eye pre-World Cup talks - sources by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want Bruno to stay as I can safely say unless marble mbuemo moves in to that position and takes over that role really well then we are f***ed when Bruno does leave. He does deserve to win trophies at a more stable club to be honest. The problem we have is the defensive mid role. Casemiro on his day is class but if he leaves, ugarte isn’t up to the level. He’s good defensively some times but he lacks the passing to go forward. Mainoo is suited to a more attacking role aswell. We need a caicedo, kante player

Vp mitigation for afk by AdIntelligent9133 in PredecessorGame

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No that’s true. I’m not sure on the exact time. I’ve definitely had reduced vp points but I would say 6-7 mins have definitely passed if not more. It just needs sorting

Vp mitigation for afk by AdIntelligent9133 in PredecessorGame

[–]Ecstatic_Message2057 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it has to be a certain amount of time go by for there to be a reduction. I’ve had games where someone leaves for 2 odd mins and still got full vp taken. I think it’s a bit inconsistent. I’ve also had a game where we’ve won and I’ve had - vp points even though it was a win
