Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[WilliamPerry]

United's downfall has been so great I actually forgot they were in the CL and not the EL.

Life would be so much easier as a blue if united were still challenging. I honestly can’t get my head round any blue who can’t see that

Sir Alex “Put them back into their box!” Gets forgotten.

 

[Ghost Rider]

Not necessarily sir.

Godfrey
Gbamin
Kean
Iwobi

All players you could say were "long term investments"

Difference is ours are crap.

Then I put to you to what extent were any of the ones you listed there planned and not bought for the sake of it?

Godfrey absolutely, can't really argue the case for the rest of them being planned purchases.

There is a difference between signing a young player with a plan and doing so without. The players you listed above , provide speed , width and a different type of goal threat (individually). Palace replaced aging players with youth in the first team, knowing full well they wouldn't take them to Europe overnight but they all have a year under their belts.

We have never played iwobi the same way he played at arsenal. Whether that would make a difference or not. Gbamin I can't honestly pass a judgement on for obvious reasons and Kean was just a gamble.

I will say we also never played Kean much for him to adapt and improve in a different country. Another wonderful legacy of moshiri is signing younger players and making them the scapegoats for poor performances , to be dropped for the old guard again.

We seem to expect young players to get better without actually playing them much. Whereas a young weak and out of his depth young winger who was given game time here is argubally our best player at the minute. Whereas it seems if we bought him, this club would expect the same outcome with 5 minute cameos here and there.

United won the league throwing a load of young players into the squad at once and playing them. All I'm saying is if we are paying 10-20 million for young players , be nice to actually see them have a go.

Robbie Savage should not be allowed to commentate on games in general, but he especially should not be allowed to commentate on games that are played at a level he could only have dreamed of reaching.

Probs because I don't give a toss what any team in the PL does except for my own.

Idk mate, I'd like to see us win something so it wouldn't be the best if another super team was in the way.

Ajax going out to Benfica would be a shame

 

[RomanReigns]

Athletico were so crap as well

Man Utd are such a poor side, if Liverpool get athletico Madrid it will be an easy quarter final for them

 

[zukai12_]

A Man U loss is always welcome

 

[Everton1654]

Rs nailed on to get Benfica in the quarters

 

[ToffeeDan]

Semi A
Chelsea or Lille vs Villarreal or Juventus against
Benfica vs RS

Semi B
Man City vs Bayern
AM vs RM

 

[TheBigIguana]

He wasn't offside there either. If that goes in it gets overturned by VAR.

 

[4737carlin]

Scholes is taking rubbish, Rio knows it

 

[RomanReigns]

everton v plymouth next season is becoming a closer reality as every week goes by

So would we all . But it’s not exactly gone well in that department over the past 30 years has it? i don’t expect a yank to understand it tbh .
