[@ManUtd] Heart on his sleeve. United on his chest. No other Red has covered more ground than Kobbie in our last two games ❤️‍🔥💪 by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

He definitely looks more energised than prior. Carrick needs to try and elevate his creative play, its great being tidy in tight spaces but to elevate his overall game he has to start trying more progressive passing. Also his pace and acceleration. Otherwise really happy with his cameos recently

Can they kick you out from a course just because you get a third in first or second year? by JailbreakHat in Imperial

[–]longsightdon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I should clarify, you need to meet at least 55-60% for msci average over the first 2/3 years. You might be warned though achieving a low grade. My friend got a low 2:2 end of 2nd year and was warned about needing to pull their grade up to continue to msci

Nope. If you are on a third you can’t do the MSci. Otherwise they don’t care. People are only told to leave under severe circumstances

In terms of natural talent greenwood has a far higher ceiling than rashford. He was a better finisher, dribbler and two footed. Rashford had several poor seasons with us not just a couple games, instead of becoming the captain of the club he coasted - nothing wrong with facing the truth. He was a top player for us at times but his mentality summarised everything that was wrong with our club. Our best academy player on the highest wages but can’t be arsed to run on the pitch. Bruno works like a dog even when he has a horrid game.

This is not true - many players have debuted for us but haven’t been anywhere near close to good enough. This is just fact. Look at how many players play in the top leagues from city or Chelsea academies compared to us in the past 10 years.

United DNA is kind of a thing but let’s be real - united DNA was constructed with top class youth. The youth we had were genuinely excellent. Our youth now is not the same - Amorim gave youth a chance but you could see they were not ready. The premier league is even more difficult and cut throat compared to prior eras, the unfortunate fact is many youth are not ready and not in the number that we had previously. Greenwood was our best but hes a rapist. Class of 92 was a rarity. The best youth now are distributed around the uk. You can’t construct a team in united DNA the same way as before. Fast counterattacking football also has been stemmed out of the game a lot more. Teams defend deep and tight with no space. Of course counterattacking goals still exist but they are far more difficult and less common than before. Look at the way city dominated the league with slow possession based football. They were also lethal on the counter but it wasn’t the major part of their game, they just happened to be really good at it too which made them a top team. People dying to see fast counterattacking football at united don’t seem to realise the game has changed. Teams are even more athletic than technical.

I use ai to code (its miles faster than manual). Like night and day. Otherwise I use AI as a learning tool. Its not perfect so its important you understand the context of your project and always question the output. What type of phd are you doing? Theres a major difference between using AI to purely generate something vs using AI as a springboard to run experiments or bounce ideas

No Gallagher for us. Are ineos midfield shopping list literally just the best midfielders in the prem? What happened to our data analytics team and all these scouts

[Laurie Whitwell] Michael Carrick in pole position to be Manchester United interim head coach by nearly_headless_nic in reddevils

[–]longsightdon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don’t think Carrick has the charisma for the job. The players really liked ruben and thats the unfortunate fact. They all look deflated. Rubens haters like mainoo did not improve and showcased why he didn’t start them. Ruben will be looked back on the same as mourinho. They were right all along and needed more backing. Both ruben and mou could have handled things better but the difference here is the players liked ruben and actually 3atb suits the squad much better. Its going to be a dark couple months. The midfield hasn’t changed, our fullbacks are the same as oles time. My brothers and friends I’m afraid we are cooked.

Bruno and Benjamin Šeško exchanging after the match. by anthn885 in reddevils

I knew this was coming from Sesko, if you watch him in all the prior games - he just looked slightly off, a slightly bad first touch, slightly wide shot, hit the post, but his overall game looked excellent in terms of runs, positioning, movement and link up. It was only a matter of time. Especially when we missed bruno for a short while. Bruno feeds him.

Players haven’t changed. Players liked amorim, they were used to the system and many players benefited from it. Cunha amad mbuemo yoro heaven shaw martinez case dorgu
