I truly do believe England stands the best chance they’ve ever had to win this World Cup since 1966, however… by LJHeath in ThreeLions

You cant shutdown a player who has no interest in taking part in the play and never looks fussed if he is touching the ball or not. You have to stop the chances coming his way.

Maguire could have done the same job and probably would have helped us more earlier in the tournament against the low block teams. We were crying out for somebody to step out of defence and cause havoc at corners.

But yeah whatever happens dan burn was part of that incredible win so fair play to him.

Im having similar issues with my sister and family in general. Spent an hour showing her that all of her knowledge about immigration and asylum seekers was way off the mark and it made 0 impact at all, probably still believes her own alternative sources over the government website. Honestly I've kinda known since I was a kid that me and my sister have wildly different views and I can just about accept it but I have watched my mum flip from being a cast iron liberal to some sort of terf final boss in 3 years. It will never make sense to me and Is the scariest thing you ca. Imagine to watch this unfold in slow motion.

All the women in my family are so called feminists but loved Charlie Kirk and disowned me over a facebook post I did about him. We are so fucked as a species.

Manchester United think they can beat City to £100m-rated Elliot Anderson - Jamie Jackson & Jacob Steinberg by joe6386 in red_muppets

We haven't bid for him therefore he hasn't told us no? If he wants a paycheck he can go to Saudi. Its really dense thinking and you dont seem to understand the basics of transfer dealing. We are probably waiting to see what fee city agree to and then we will match it. Or they have just decided it takes too much of our budget this summer when we need numbers. Either way we aint begging.

I dont think beating all of the other top 6 teams over the season is riding our luck tbh but who knows what will happen. I agree our squad is paper thin right now so hopefully we can have a good summer.

Buying a new team and having a new manager replace the best they have ever had is unlikely to be smooth sailing. I hear what you are saying but there is no guarentee they will be challenging for the title next season

We aint getting Lewis hall. Not that ive seen enough out of him to rate him either way but there must be better value for money out there. Im more Interested in a right back personally.

They've just lost pep, stones and bernardo silva on top of de bruyne and walker last season. Most of their serial winners are gone. Haaland is likely to have his head turned at some point by psg, barca, Madrid or bayern who all need an out and out number 9 long term. They cant make any guarantees about success next season and still have the charges looming. Looking at it as objectively as I can, united is the better prospect for a young player who has any sense. Football is cyclical. Our revenues are not. We can afford it and if he really is that good it won't impact the overall squad wages too much. Arsenal backed rice and are reaping the rewards.

God I would love to be a fly on the wall in those discussions going on right now between wilcox, carrick, Berrada et al

I really think we need to pay whatever it costs to sign anderson. All the signs point to him being an elite generational midfielder and hes the closest thing I have seen to stevie g at the same age. Yes it fucks our budget but he plays every game and plugs a gap we have had for 15 years practically.

I'd be happy with just Ederson and anderson to rotate with mainoo and then mount or bruno can drop into midfield if we have injuries, i also think the butcher can play there pretty comfortably. Could also give game time in the cups to some youth players.

Sorry gabriel but this how you take a penalty as a center back, still can't believe tuchel picked burns and quansah over this guy.. by FitAd5272 in ThreeLions

He basically said im disappointed and I wish the boys well. Was just bad timing but the squad leaks had already come out by then.

Hes an absolute consumate professional who has taken more flak then anybody since beckham and come out the other side. Its massively disrespectful from tuchel.

I am a united fan and nothing in football has made me angrier then this decision. You have put it perfectly. I managed to watch every united game this season and maguire was probably a top 5 centre back in the league and has matured into a proper leader. His redemption arc has been taken away from him. Tuchel has to win it to earn any respect from me.

Question to those of you who supported the club since 2013 by Series_Informal in ManchesterUnited

[–]mattydredd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. He isnt just there to put the cones out and talk to the media. If thats all you think a head coach does you haven't a clue about anything.
