lomaxgrUK Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Ole is (officially) at the wheel. Absolute no brainer; I just hope it's not too late to recruit the level of player we're going to require in the Summer. Transfers can take months to develop.

lomaxgrUK Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Rather disastrous midweek fixture episode for United. Chelsea, Spurs & Arsenal all win. Like Ole has said, we're likely to have to win 5 of our last 6 to qualify for the Champions League which is very unlikely. Oh well, we didn't have a prayer when Mourinho left so at least we've made a fight of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the fact that it comes off the back of such an impressive run of form it looks much worse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 Chelsea finally started Hudson-Odoi finally last night and the kid was impressive. Honestly can't believe Sarri has been successful with how stubborn he is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly can't believe Sarri has been successful with how stubborn he is. It's one thing when a young player doesn't get starts because of quality in front of him (like Sancho at City), but it has been inexcusable for Sarri to play Willian and Pedro ahead of CHO in every league game these past few months.

Dr LBC Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 Arsenal are going to take years off my life with this season. Was definitely a foul (and a stupid one to commit) on Deeney, but I wouldn't have called that a straight red under any circumstance; impacted hugely by Torrera's diminutive height. It's Troy Deeney though, so I really don't feel any remorse - as I imagine non-Arsenal fans don't feel any remorse about somewhat rash judgments going against Xhaka or Mustafi, or against Wilshere in previous seasons. If our finishing was better the narrative on this match is entirely different, but sadly Auba and Mkhitaryan collectively fluffed easily what should have been 3-4 easy chances. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lomaxgrUK Posted April 23, 2019 Share Posted April 23, 2019 I really hope United waste no time with the Summer cull. As soon as we are mathematical unable to get top 4, I want to hear of players being sold. I like Ole and most of what he has said since he became our Manager, but words are just words - we need to see action. There isn't a single player above the age of 21 in our squad that I would mind leaving; what a sad state of affairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kempus Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 (edited) United were just outclassed in every area of the pitch and touchline. In truth, City barely got out of 2nd gear. For most of the first half they restricted Citys space and closed down really well. But then the closing down became less and less effective until it stopped. Gundogan shredded United once Fernandinho went off. City do it to most teams, but it was limp from United. The state of Uniteds squad is pretty dire. Theres no United player who would make the City team. Only a handfull would make the match day squad. In terms of top 4, they arent too far off Arsenal and Chelsea (especially minus Hazard). But, a title challenge is a long way off. Edited April 25, 2019 by kempus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drd23 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Does nobody want the 4th UCL spot? From what I've seen of the Arsenal game, they were pretty poor too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into this match figuring the best we could hope for at the Molyneux was a draw, I wasn't wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United are bad, but I am not enviable of Chelsea or Arsenal's squad to be honest especially with Hazard looking likely to be on the way out. In terms of squad talent, I personally would rank the league: 1) City 2) Liverpool 3) Tottenham 4) Chelsea 5) United 6) Arsenal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelsea without Hazard are probably the worst of the top 6. United and Arsenal are probably about even. Both have a lot of dead wood who will be hard to move. The difference is United have a massive amount of money to spend, regardless of CL qualification. Arsenal simply dont. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the only people not in the team that you could make a case for are Eriksen, Son and Hazard. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamorange Posted May 5, 2019 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Well Chelsea is locked in CL and Tottenham are pretty much a lock (no way they can blow a 8 goal diff in one game, right? Right?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
