United need to take a page from the Arsenal manuscript and simply accept mediocrity.
I got a couple Arsenal memes today on whatsapp as if them being shit is news. Utd 3rd in that group is also par, did well to secure a top seeding with their 9 pts for the EL draw.
My mate sent me something about Arsenal having had more foul throws than goals, or something, and I just thought: who do you think I am?
I imagine Salah went in and threatened to behead Angela Klopp if he didn't get the start but what the sweet fuck is Fabinho doing on the pitch?
You hankering for a bit of Big Billy?
I thought it might be because we had no one else initially but the fact we risk the double and get prevented from watching him is disgusting.
Lol at that goal. Seconds after Origi tries to play a meaningless 5 yard pass into Salah's feet which he completely ignores as he is too busy attempting to break their defensive line
When tf did we sign that lad from One Direction?
Fucking hell, he's like prime Xavi.
Very tempted to get a Clarkson 65 shirt for one of my kids.
I don't want to overdo it as it's not my style but he's better than Xavi.
I hope you’re not talking about the former Spanish international and Qatari lottery winner Xavi.
VAR has really heightened the excitement and officiating accuracy of this game.
Ajax have had such a tragic time in the Champions League the last three years.
How did Xavi compare with Pirlo? Pirlo was definitely the more gifted, but Xavi perhaps more effective.
It was awful, although the 18 year old making his debut shouldn't have been sent off. That's never a second yellow.
Alexis with a header on target (probably would have scored) and it hits an offside Lukaku in the head.
Inter on the verge of going out of Europe.
Whole of the Gladbach team crowded round one mobile phone to see what's happening in that match.
Is that Harvey Price with a pair of tits
Can't believe Grealish has stolen Taz's missus from him. Thoughts and prayers @Don xx.
Holy shit, he's gonna piss his career up the wall but what a way to do it
Is this Lingard's ex?
I see Leeds lost again. The most overhyped team for years
That's against David Moyes' West Ham you're basing judgements on, son.
But put it like this, there isn't a single player in that squad that would be deemed good enough for the league (Meslier closest?) and they're cruising to safety.
It's a bunch of Championship no-hopers playing dreamy attacking football, there is no hype. There is just the rare exhilaration of watching a team that is not a utilitarian bunch of percentage shites.
EDIT: Taz and me Understand Football.
This year's Sheffield United. Give it 18 months and Bielsa will be managing Newell's Old Boys, Taz will be back in hiding and and Leeds will be back in the Championship.
We looked admittedly woeful today. I'm worried about the defensive situation going forward. We can't defend set pieces to save our lives, yet seem to go out of our way to constantly give away set pieces in dangerous positions on the edge of the box. No real height or muscle in the team at the minute. Meslier is great though. We would have lost by a least a couple more if not for that lad.
Koch is out for three months apparently and Llorente is still not properly fit, and also presumably now carrying significant mental scars from those weird noises the Chelsea fans kept making at him last week. Worrying times.
Was trying to prove a point to someone about team-mates who hated each other playing well and I ended up watching this clip looking for Andy Cole Sheringham combinations and then I saw Cole/Yorke combine for one of the best goals I've ever seen.
Cole and Yorke have to be the most under rated partnership of all time. They were unstoppable.
edit: Timestamp doesn't work. It's at 2:00. 2:40 is also perfection.
Our match is on today. Matt Ritchie's been talking to the press saying how the gap will give us no excuses. Meanwhile Brucey's been talking like they were unable to field a team last weekend. I guess if they were all in isolation, that's true. Our teamsheet could be interesting.
Cole and Yorke is probably one of the first strike partnerships most people think about (probably UK at least). Not sure they were that underrated.
He's dogshit. Koch is one who I forgot. The shitness of the bottom four so far is clouding judgements and making it seem like Leeds and Brighton are only being saved by that fact but even if you don't see the fact they are better than most CL sides, the fact they can be safe whilst playing the football they do demands pure respect, if yesterday's game was West Ham against any random Brexit football side I wouldn't have bothered tuning in.
Yorke and Milosevic > Yorke and Cole
Beckham wouldn't survive in the modern game.
He would play right back I would think.
He'd be Gylfi Sigurdsson
What a load of gibberish.
I think right back is a good shout. He'd be a better Alexander-Arnold.
I always wonder whether they should have scored more. People lol at the Glenn Hoddle quote about Andy Cole needing five chances to score, but his figures for United, bearing in mind what he was playing in front of (and against) do seem to bear that out. Alan Shearer signing for them really is the great what if of English football.
Anyway, I feel like United are overdue a proper battering off City, and now is the time to be getting it.
Applying modern standards to some players doesn’t work because the reason they succeeded is what would have made them succeed no matter the generation. Beckham trained his way back into a Real Madrid side managed by Capello at in his mid 30s. His skills took him so far, his work rate took him to the closest thing football has to Jordan.
Beckham would just play through the middle and boss things. No way are you playing someone that good at right back.
If Shearer had signed for them, stayed fit and not fallen out with Fergie, then they would have won everything (rather than nearly everything) until about 2002 when they would have had Nistelrooy in anyway, so the only great difference would be that Wenger might not have had his early double and the Newcastle/Bobby Robson renaissance might not have happened so easily. I'm not sure lack of firepower was what was stopping United winning another European Cup in that period.
Beckham would be far too good to waste at right back.
